in such a thickly settled community
and at such q comparatively early

In such q thtckly settled community
and at such comparatively early
hour.
Chief Ole Malvey was out of the
city last night, but he was tele-
graphed early, this morning, and 1t is
believed that he will arrive today and
take charge of the case by which q
respected and beloved citizen and
doctor Of Moorhead was murdered In
the most cowardly and brutal man
ner.
Not Word Spoken.
~ Wright, in telling the police Of
'Se z, der, said that SO quickly did
IT. .appen that he did not realize
what Ras going on, but thought that
II was some disorderly persons re-
turning from the saloon section who
we're merely indulging In a drunken
row. He says that, SO far as he could
hear, not word was spoken by eth
er the murderer or his victim.
After the fellow came from the
,scene Of the crime, he struck the two
trees with his club. then ran across
the street to, Second avenue and on to
the west, where he disappeared In the
darkness.
No Description of Murderer.
He could give the officers no de-
scription of the fellow that would be
of any assistance to them.
Coroner Vincent of Clay county,
Minn., was notified and he was soon
on the scene, together with DR.. Olaf
]. Hagen and his assistant, but DR..
Egge was past all human aid.
The family was notified early this
morning, for it was impossible to
keep 1t from Mrs. Egge, who was
anxious when the doctor failed to re-
turn, as he had told her that he would
not be detained long.
Mrs. Egge Frustrated.
AS kindly as possible, the dreadful
news was broken to her. but 1t was q
shock that almost bereft her Of rea-
son, and this morning her condition
is serious. The greatest sympathy is
expressed on every side for her and
the little ones who have been depriv-
ed of the kindest and best of fathers
Was Charitably Inclined.
DR.. Egge has been a resident OF
Moorhead many years, and was one OF
the city's most respected citizens. He
was kindly at heart, and many fam
lily that was too poor to pay him re-
ceived his services free Of charge, fo1
he was charitable by inclination.
He was quite well-to-do. for he had
enjoyed large practice, and was a
man who always had the confidence
of his people.

Cook when he was told today Of the
report Of dispatches confirming the
previous reports of Commander
Peary's success in reaching the North
Pole. II am the first to shout, "Hur-
rah for Peary," the doctor continued.
IF he has telegraphed an announce
ment that he has reached the pole
then 1t is true and I congratulate
him." Asked whether Commander
Peayy was likely to have found the
tracts Of his progress over the polar
seas DR.. Cook replied: "No. he scarce-

sHAcKLEF0RD SAYS THE
HONOR IS AMERICAS
Only Question Of Priority Between
the Two Explorers-Peary Says
His Date Was April 6, 1909, Nearly
a Year After Cooks Date.

The announcement of Commander
Peary that he has discovered the
North Pole rivets the attention of the
entire civilized world. Whatever ques-
ton OF priority may exist between the
claims OF Commander Peary and DR..
Cook there can be no doubt that to
the United States belongs the un-
Questioned credit and lasting renown
of discovering the North Pole. The
remarkable coincidence of the two
American announcements of such q
ddllossal achievement coming with
in five days. after centuries Of fruit
less endeavor, constitutes one of the
most remarkable condolences in his
tory. The question of priority in
reaching the pole now absorbs atten-
ton In this country and Europe. That
Peary will claim to be the first dis
coverer appears to be definitely as
sured from the following:
First. formal announcement has been
telegraphed from Indian Harbor, Lab
rador. to all the principal American
and Geographical societies of all ma
tions, including Japan and Brazil, spe-
ciically announcing that the North
Pole was discovered April 6. by the
Peary Arctic Club expedition under
the command Of Commander Peary.
Second, a London dispatch received
from st. Johns. n F., states. that
Commander Peary claims that he was
the first man to reach the North Pole.
Aside from the question of priority
Commander Peary's announcements Of
reaching the pole appears to be ac-
cepted throughout the United States
and the world at large by the scien-
lists as we'll as the general public and
there is an absence of doubt and skep-
ticism which greeted the Cook an
nouncement. There is, however, an
apparent reserve Of judgment on the
question of priority between the two
explorers. DIR. Cook, in an interview
at Copenhagen today, said he is the
first to shout hurrah for Peary. II
he has telegraphed an announcement
that he has reached the pole then it
Is true. and congratulate him."
DR.. Cook also states that he does
not want any controversy. No further
word direct from Peary has been re-
ceived today. nor can there be any
further word from him until he
reaches Chateau Bay, Labrador, to-
night or tomorrow. The world con-
tinues to be stirred with excitement
and admiration for the achievement
by which America has solved the
problem of the centuries.

A CHANCE TO BREATHE.

The Philadelphia Farm Journal
says "A farmer blowing with three
horses hitched abreast, noticed that
the middle horse became tired and
exhausted long before either Of his
mates. As the animal was the equal
in every way to the other two, he
was puzzled as to the cause of the
horses not being able to stand the
same amount Of work. He finally
observed, however, hat as they drew
the piow along, the three horses held
their noses close together with the
result that the middle horse was
compelled to breathe the expired air
from its fellows. The farmer then
procured a long Jockey" stick. which
he fastened with straps 10 the bits Of
the two outside horses. The device
worked perfectly, for, given his right
ful share Of good, fresh air, the mid
die horse was able to do the same
amount Of work, and with no greater
fatigue than his fellows. Many per-
sons are Ike the middle horse, they
do not get their rightful share of
