MRS, WILLIAM w. ROCKWELL.
Wife of the amba ssador to Russia.

Kan, or OF Joe Warden in Old Mex
leo.
Last Saturday night the prison Of
ficials intercepted letter Murphy
had addressed to his wife in St.
Joseph in which admissions were
made concerning five of the muir
ders. The letter contained no men
ton of the murder of Charles Vance
boy about eight years old, who
Murphy now says was his nephew.
Little attention was paid to the letter
at first as ruses of this kind on the
part of long-term convicts are CON-
mon.
O. S. Conner and yardmaster Page
talked with Murphy. At first he de-
MED all knowledge of the letter,
but later admitted he had written
it and said he was inspired to write
by the hope that he would be taken
out of prison and be hanged. He
said he was tired of his long life
of crime. and as he could not pos
sibly live out his sentence he wished
to die as soon as possible.
Warden Andrea telegraphed the
police at st. Joseph ABOUT the muir
ders Murphy said was committed
there. He received reply that the
murders actually had been commit
ted and had remained mysterious.
The prison officials could not get
Murphy to go into details concern
ing any of the murders. When
pressed he would say, " Oh, we'll, I
committed the murders and it will
be easy enough for the police to
establish the facts and furnish de-
tails. When man admits he com
mitted murder is not that enough to
hang him. l hope the St. Joe Off
Gals will take me out of here and
hang me as soon as possible"

Bowbells, June 25.-A chap whom
Frank Smith hired to run his 'hot
tamale" stand here during the races

of the fellow and left YESTERDAY for
the purpose Of interviewing him and
making ans,effort to- induce him to

The latter was playing. in the. band
during the entire week, and ION the
night following the last day Of the
races; his child was sick, so that it
was impossible Tor him to- look after
the stand business, thus giving his
hired man ali the necessary oppor-

LoudenDeck, consisting of j. e, Reu-
ter, l.. F. Mahowald, F. G. Young.
sat upon the case and after thor
ough Investigation rendered a YER
dict of suicide.
A letter found upon the body
cleared most of the mystery, the
substance of which is as follows:
"Katie is the cause of all this
trouble I wanted her to marry me
but she refused. I wrote her twice
and told her I couldn't live without
her and that if she didn't marry me
1 would do something desperate"
The letter was poorly but clearly
written with lead pencil. The pen
Gil also was found upon the body.
Two crimes of arson are supposed
to have been committed by bech-
ner. 1t is thought he set fire to Miss
Fliginger's claim shack, some five
miles from where her fathers barn
was burned. The shack Is supposed
to have been burned first, after
which it is evident that he must have
committed self destruction.
He had written the girl several
letters which corroborated the one
found upon his person.
Five members of the family were
Intercepted and all told the same
story in a straight forward and frank
manner. So much did their stories
tally that it would be wrong not to
exOnerate them.
However, be as it may, there is
no doubt remaining with the jury as
to the cause of the crime and what
led up to it.
The dog that did the barking was
found dead west of the barn.
Miss Fliginger was in Garrison
the night of the crime, and it is
perhaps fortunate that she was.
Beschner was a German, about rs
years old, and lived fifteen miles
north of the scene Of the crime.

Great Deal of Interest Has Been

Thorpe of jamestown, Had Charge
of Brosz Case i'm Each Trial.

Jamestown, N. d., June 25.-Geo.
w. Thorp, attorney for contestee In
the matter Of the contest case of
Hunt v. Brosz, has been notified by
the commissioner of the general land
office at Washington, that the de-
partment in all things sustains the
dulings of the Fargo Office which rem
dered a decision. in favor of BrosE
some time ago. The case is an i'm
pv. tant one for the reason that while
positive affidavit was made that the
entry was not made in good faith
that Brosz had heretofore exhausted
his homestead right, still it was
brought out in the evidence that
Brosz was very unpopular with his
neighbors, some of the witnesses
stating that they desired to get him
out of the neighborhood, and the
decision of the land Office dismiss
ing the contest, shows that unpop-
ularity is no cause for cancelling
homestead entry.
The decision Of the general land
Office eliminates one of the most de-
termined fights ever made against
a homestead entry in Stutsman
county. Four contest cases have at
different times been brought against
this land, and in every instance At
torney George W. Thorp has made q
sufficient showing for his client-and
the contests have either been drop
ped at the hearing or been favorably
decided by the land Office officials.
A great deal Of interest has been
shown in the case.

Washington, June 25.-"I am more
in favor of woman suffrage than
ever before" declared Alfred Blais
dell, secretary Of state of North Da-
kota, who has just returned to the
states after an extended tour of the
British Isles. Mr.. Blaisdell in dis
cussing the suffragette movement in
England admitted that his views had
been greatly Influenced by the
scenes in London within the past
few weeks. He was in London when
some Of the greatest demonstrations
for woman suffrage took place.
1T is surprising that so many men
the women in the movement" said
Mr.. Blaisdell, and to his mind this
was the most significant feature of
the present agitation for universal
suffrage in England.
He ventured the opinion that the
movement would spread to this cOun
try before many more years and in
support of his views called attention
to the fact that English women are
more domestic than our own and
with a suffragette movement in do
nestle England why not similar
and more momentous struggle Of
the same kind in America where
women already are accorded more
freedom of thought and action than
in any other part of the world.
Wife Loathes Politics.
/ With him at the time was Mrs.
Blaisdell, a pretty and demure young
woman who showed keen interest in
her husbands views, but did not
share them. II am not woman SUI
fragette," she said, although I ad-
NIT that to associate myself with
such a movement would give me
something to do"
:; Mrs. sBlaisdeli also told of her ex-
iperiences, in London, and how on
one occasion she and her husband
endeavored to gain admission to the
English parliament and how the at
PENDANTS refused to admit her be-
cause she was woman. 1T was
while the women of London were
making the greatest racket and had
actually invaded the house Of COM
MONS said Mrs. Blaisdell. In or
der to prevent a REPETITION of those
disturbances in parliament it was
found necessary to exclude all wom-
an visitors from the galleries. Thus
was she refused admittance-an
anti-woman suffragette at that.
While in Washington the Blais-
dells called at the capitol to pay
their respects to the North Dakota
congressional delegation and Presi
dent Taft. They expect to return to
Bismarck toward the end Of the
week.

MILLINERY STORES HAD
SPLEAD|D, OPENING DAYS
Spring Showing Of Hats and Other
Women's E'Fixlnss," Saturday
Was Very Good.

The annual spring openings Of the
local millinery establishments, held
Friday and Saturday proved to be
gala days for the ladies of Bemjdji,
unusually large crowds turning out
to view the seasons styles.
The display windows were beauti-
fully decorated. for the occasion,
each milliner vying with the OF her.
.Conger's store was decorated with
purple and white crepe paper stream
ers, which extende d from the ceiling
to the baskets of flowers placed
around the room, giving a very
pretty effect. In the display win.
dows were placed 4 few of the chois-
est hats csrnation was given
away to each lady as souvenir.
Simplicity was the keynote of the
decorations in the Henrionnet dis
play window, which was a model of
elegance and beauty. Rose colored
ribbons were draped from one
basket of roses to, the other and
several beautiful hats were also
shown. Easter novelties were the
souvenirs given away: -
The windows Of the Hetland-
Fallon millinery store were prettily
decorated with many beautiful hats
and baskets of flowers, making a
veritable> flower garden. Carna-
tons and Easter, novelties were
given away as souvenirs.
The large display window Of
Oleary & Bowser's big department
store, where Miss Walsmith has
her millinery parlor,, was nicely
decorated with ribbon steamers,
baskets Of flowers and many
beautiful hats. Here also carna-
tons were the souvenirs given
away.
The hats which are shown this
year are of various sizes, toque
effects, lamp shaped and bowl
shaped, and hats which set low on
the head. It is certain that the
large hat will still meet with much
favor, but the small hats are also
in marked evidence.
The new shades this year are
wistria, "crushed berry" shades
and heather, while brown and the
different shades Of green are also
popular.

on the tracts set apart for home
stead entry in lieu thereof. In some
instances Indians holding allotments
on the reserve have sold all the avail
able timber on their lands and are
now ready to make new selection
where the timber is intact. This
scheme may rebound greatly to the
interests of the forestry bureau but it
don't look just right when we think
of the promises made us at the time
congress passed upon the bill making
the forestry reserve permanent"
And again the Times says:
Some of our people who seem to
have given the situation mature con-
sideration are of the opinion that it
is better to allow the lands around
us, once intended for homesteads, to
be selected and patented to the In
dams and then secure legislation
from congress permitting the Indians
to sell. We have no opinion on the
subject at present, the object of our
people is to get these lands into
market and under the pillow; if it can
be done sooner by giving the title to
the Indians than by the homestead
route we presume the people will be
satisfied. But there will be many a
poor fellow who has lived on, it for
the last five years or more in hopes
of a homestead among the jack pines
who will mourn and refuse to be
comforted."
While the Pioneer has sincere
sympathy for the tillers of the soil
who may have went on lands in
the vicinity of Cass Lake with the
assurances that they would soon
get the land, we have little use for
the townsite boomers and dealers
in deceased Indian allotment lands
and leases who have induced people
to locate there under the impression
that everything was all right.
