Murderous Assault.

While crazed with morphine, H. N.
Hanson, the druggist at Forman, shot
three times at his fleeing wife last
Tuesday night about eight o'clock.
When Hanson is under the influence Of
the drug he takes pleasure in abusing
his helpmate, and so violent had his
abuse become before the woman
escaped from his clutches and flew out
the back door that Sheriff Mason and
Ike Stevens had posted themselves at
the open door to the rear to act in case
of necessity. AS soon as the woman
escaped Hanson made after her and
shot at the fleeing form three times
from a revolver. Hanson caught his
wife as she made to main street, just
in front of Sanderson's meat market,
and the sheriff and helper were sue
cessful in knocking the revolver from
his hand and separated. the couple be-
fore any injury was done. The man
was lodged in Jail.

FATAL ACCIDENT
TO HARLEY CASE
Slips and Falls in Front of
Heavily Laden Wagon
Which Passes Over Him.
Only Lives One Hour After the
Accident-Only Son Of Mr..
and Mrs. S. A. Case.

Harley D. Case was accidentally
killed near Ludden last Tuesday after
noon.
The young man was on his way to
Ludden with very heavy load Of grain
drawn by four horses. When within a
mile and half of town he got down to
fix something about the harness and on
remounting at the front wheel the
team started up, and he slipped and
fell in front of the wheels. Both
wheels passed over his right thigh close
to the body, the team continuing on
the road to Ludden. All Harley could
do was to wave his hat for help. A
man was coming out of Ludden in a
buggy and seeing the team without a
driver he made an investigation and
found the young man where the ac-
cident had happened. The alarm was
carried to Ludden and Lee Samson
made run out in his auto to bring in
the injured man, but he was too faint
to sit in the auto, and had to be carried
to town in lumber wagon.
DR.. J. H. Todd of Maryville, Mo-,
happened to be in town and gave the
young man temporary relief until med
ical assistance could he summoned from
Cakes. DR.. Ryder was first to reach
the injured man from here, and was
followed few minutes later by DR..
1. R. Maercklein. The limb was
ground to pulp where the wheel had
passed over it, and the blood arteries
severed. The physicians did all they
could to keep the young mans vitals
at work, but the shock was too great
for him and he passed away at $3.50
O'Clock, just one hour after the ac-
cident happened.
This is the third death in the family
of Mr.. and Mrs. S. A. Case in the past
four years. First came diphtheria and
took away Genevieve; then last winter
came the death of Abbie, Mrs. E. E.
Nelson; and now they lose their only
boy, Harley. He was bright ane
promising young man, product of ou1
own county. About twenty-five years
ago he was born in Dickey county, ane
had attended the schools at Ludden anc
Glendale.
Funeral services will be conducted
by Rev. Dyer at Ludden this Afternoon
at two o'clock, and interment made
alongside of his sisters in the Luddel
cemetery.
This death is an extremely sad one
and the family have much sympathy il
their overflowing cup of sorrow.

was collected in the teachers examina-
tions for the markings of papers and is
the over-plus left after the cost Of
marking the papers had been paid out.
The suit was the outgrowth of 9
legislative investigation last winter,
and the decision will have the effect o1
placing the proper construction on 9
certain chapter of the state laws that
up to the present time has no con
structions, one being to the effect thai
the superintendent is allowed to retair
the over-plus Of the money turned il
for the examinations. while the othel
is to the effect that the cash should b,
turned over to the state.
In h:s answer Superintendent Stock
we'll, through his attorneys jeff Myer
and ]. E. Gray of Grafton, admits tn
receipts Of the money, but claims tina
he was entitled to it under the law. HI

plant, and also admits the expenditure
of the sum of $3,715.60 for the uses
and purposes as in paragraph 9. there
for set forth, but denies that it be-
came his duty, either under the pro-
visions of chapter IS of the laws of
1901 or at all, to pay to the state OF
North Dakota the over-plus by him so
received, but on the contrary alleges
the fact to be that said chapter IS of
the laws of 1901, in so far as the same
imposed upon the superintendent Of
public instruction the duty and re-
sponsibility of examining, marking and
filing. or causing to be examined,
marked and filed, all answer papers
submitted by candidates for first, Sec
ond and third grade certificates, con-
stituted legislation invention, then
absolutely new in this state, and not
only unknown and unthought of in the
territorial days and at the time of the
adoption of the state constitution, but
also at that time, and for some con-
siderable time thereafter wholly un-
known to the legislative policy of any
state of the union, and that such over
plus was intended by said chapter IS of
the laws of 1901 as compensation to
the incumbent of the position of state
superintendent of public instruction for
kLo ,,,%ro constitutional opd ord,,o,,c
work, and onerous responsibilities i'm
posed upon him by the provisions of
said act.
"That the policy of having the an
swer papers of application for county
certificates examined either by or un-
der the direction of the state superin-
tendent of public instruction instead of
by the different county superintendent
of the state was first advocated by the
State Educational Association of this
state in its session in 1897, and, pur-
suant to it's recommendations, the
county superintendent of the state,
constituting one section thereof, ap.
pointed legislative committee to for.
mulate bill which, when drafted and
fully considered by this committee,
was introduced in the Sixth Legislative
assembly of the state as house hi "a
of that session, and afterwards, in the
Seventh legislative assembly of the
state as house bill 43, and later or
acted as chapter IS of the session laws
of 1901; that it was the intention Of
such legislative committee of the sec
ton aforesaid of the State Educationa
Association to provide by such bill com
pensation to the superintendent o.
public instruction for extra constitu
tional work and increased labor ant
responsibility which it's enactmen
would entail and impose upon the in
cumbent, for the time being, of tina
position; that at the time of this de
fendant's assuming the duties of sai'
position on the 5th day of January
1903, this construction has been place.
upon said chapter 81 of the laws o
1901 by his predecessor in Office AM
ever since has been implicitly concurre'
in by the executive branch of the stat
government until some considerable
time prior to the commencement o
this action, when, in response t
political agitation as to the proper con
struction to be placed thereon, this de
fendant made demand upon the gov
ernor of the state that suit be brough
to test his right to this over-plus."

A number of small boats rendered

st. Charles, Mo-. June 1.-Two full

nival crowd in terror and emptied the
big car shops by the river bank when
they were driven to bay in the shop
yards. Showmen captured the lions
an hour after their escape and after
one of them had fatally bitten a pony.
Hundreds Of persons, many Of them
women and children, were standing
near the show tents when there was a
cry, "The lions!" Then a roar, a loud
trumpeting and a sharp whinny were
heard and two animals appeared at
tho side of the tent.
Crowds Took Refuge Indoors.
Men, women and children turned
and fed, none stopping long enough
to see that the lions were not coming
toward them, but had taken the other
direction. A few persons were in the
lions path and these ran terror
stricken into houses and barns.
The showmen. at first a half dozen,
then fifteen or twenty. followed the es-
capped beasts. The showmen feared
that the appetite of one Of the lions.

ef Was Q Character.

Sioux Falls, s.! D., June 1.-THE
guide rode often at the head of the
column, and we foli1ii him full of in
formation about the country. We be-
gan to listen for ia new domestic dis
closure every time we approached an
Indian village. He was the most mar
ried Of any man ever saw, for in
every tribe he had wife,"
This was the reference made by
Mrs. Elizabeth Custer, widow Of Gen.
George A. Custer, in her book,
Boots and Saddles" to Felicien Fal-
lis. who died few days ago, and who
was one of the first settlers of the
vast region now embracing the states
Of North and South Dakota In the
spring of 1873, when General Custer
and the Seventh cavalry arrived at
Yankton, Falls acted as guide for the
command until it reached the upper
country and made it's headquarters
at Fort Abraham Lincoln.
Falls was one of the CONSPICUOUS
early day characters of Dakota. While
acting as guide for the Custer expe-
pition he became intimately acquaint-
ed with General Custer. At this time
Falls had been living in the Indian
country over twenty years. Yet he
was fond of saying that General Gus
ter's knowledge of Indians, outside of
speaking their language, was better
than his.

yards, while many more were by open
windows inside the shops. These
were warned by the showmens cries
as the lions approached and the yards
and shops were soon deserted. In the
shop yards came long combat of
wits with the lions and the showmen
had 1t all to themselves. st. Charles,
or SO much of 1t as had heard the
terrifying news, was within doors and
the doors were shut and in some cases
locked.
The men made repeated attempts to
catch the lions with the lasso, but
each time the animals jumped out and
avoided capture. Caesar, the fiercer
OF the two. seemed about to spring on
some of his tormentors. A big fear
less hound sprang at him and seized
his name. George Cardo then made
a more skillful throw and jerked the
lion, choking, along the ground.
Denver, who had followed Caesar, as
one dog follows another, was placed
in portable cage a few minutes later
without much difficulty. Attaches of
the show said that they could not ex-
plain the escape. Someone, it was
said, must have left the door improp-
erly fastened.
