But HARDLY DICKINSON

Mandan, N. D., Nov. 23-Efforts at
obtaining the creation of another judi
cial district in the southwestern section
of The state will be made at the ap-
preaching session Of the state legislature.
There are at the present time ten coun-
ties in the Tenth Judicial district. over
which Judge Crawford presides, and the
fact that two new counties have been
created out of a portion of Billings
county increases the number to twelve.
At this time only n new district will
be sought, and it will be made to en-
brace Bowman, Slope, Golden Valley
and Adams county, together with Stark.
with the chambers at Dickinson. The.
other district would include; Hettinger.

ties. Mckenzie county would be made:
a part of a new district that is proposed
for the northwestern section of the state,
being linked with Williams, Divide, and
Mountraill.

DR.. Crippen Pays Penalty. Broke

Delay Trials.

London. Eng, Nov. 23.-Dr. Hawley
Harvey Crippen today paid the extreme
penalty for the murder of his wife.
Belle Elmore, the actress, within a few
minutes of the strike of nine the morn
ing hour officially fixed for. the exec,u-
tion.
The hanging was in Pentonvile prison,
where the prisoner had been confined
since his return to this country follow
ing his arrest in Canada.
The condemned man, who throughout
his trial and even until Home Secretary
Churchill had refused a petition for his
reprieve had maintained an impertur-
able calmness. presented a pitable
appearance as he had to be literally ed
throughout the short corridor from his
cell to the scaffold. His mental anguish
had been too great to be covered up by
outward bravado and he was a broken
man.
The wardens were Obliged: to assist
him up the steps to the drop upon
which. once reached, the shrinking figure
all but collapsed. The first report that
Crippen had met his fate calmly was
contradicted by persons who were
lpresent in the prison during the mans
last hour.
The doomed man passed a restless
night and appeared haddard and worn
when awakened from his slumbers. He
seemed to lose all fortitude as the end
approached.
His face was color]ess as he was es-
corted bareheaded to the gallows.
From the time that his reprieve was
refused the physicians condition had
been one Of asonized mental p%rostration.
He would only see Clara Ethel Leneve.
love for whom the crown asserted was
the compelling motive in the murder Of
his wife; Solicitor Newton. who had
made a game fight for his client and
father of Carey to whose ministrations
he paid respectful attention.
The final interview with Miss Leneve
yesterday was most painful and already
in shadow of death the convicted murder
made no effort to suppress his emotions
upon parting with the girl. During the
remainder of the day he was in a state
of complete nervous collapse, retiring
to his bed utterly Respondent
