DARLINGTON
YOUTH Held
FOR MURDER
LEE MILLER IS CHARGED WITH
MURDER OF HIS FATHER
WITNESSES DISAGREE
ON QUESTION OF
INSANITY.

Darlington, N. D., May 16.-Les
Miller must stand trial for the murder
OF his father. The coroner's fury
brought in a verdict that E. ]. D.
Miller came to his death last week as
a result Of gun shot wound, and that
Lee, the son, was feloniously re
sponsible for the discharge of the
gun. At the inquest the testimony of
the near relatives OF the boy tended to
show that he was irresponsible at
times, and confinement in the insane
hospital was desired. The testimony
OF neighburs, however, was to the eff
rect that, while wild, cratic AMI
quick tempered, he was not insane.
Three physicians testified that young
Miller was sane at this time.
The sister and wife of Miller test,-
| fed that he had spells periodically
when he became very irrational. The
spells, they said, were brought on by
worry and lasted various lengths of
time. The wife testified that on the
morning Of the day when the very
sad affair occurred, Lee arose with a
severe headache, and threatened 10
commit suicide as a relief from the
pain. Drinking liquor, the relatives
said, had tendency to quiet Miller
and make him tractable.
Lee, upon the stand, stated that
he was unable to explain how the
shooting occurred. He told of max
ing the trip to Barlow that day after
freight shipments; of having a run
away on the road home; Of being ag-
gravated by dog, and holding con-
versation with his father in regard to
the killing of the beast The father
objected He stated that he had been
a cowboy in Montana and considered
himself handy" with firearms.
Most of the witnesses stated that
they did not consider the son insane
Bert Anderson testified to seeing the
father Of the boy before he died. He
said that the elder Miller told him to
'get rope and tie the boy so he
will not hurt Others" The elder
Miller also told Anderson that Lee
had jumped upon him after he had
fallen following the shot wound.
Complaint was sworn out yesterday
charging Lee Miller with man
slaughter. No date has been set for
the preliminary hearing.

ANOI CAPP ED
THIS IS THE CASE WITH MANY
RIVER FALLS PEOPLE

Too many River Falls citizens
are handicapped with bad back.
The uuceasing pain causes constant
misery, making work burden and
STOPPING or lifting an impossibility.
The back aches at night, preventing
refreshing rest and in the morning
is stiff and lame. Plasters and lini-
ments may give relief, but cannot
reach the cause. To eliminate the
pains and aches you must cure the
kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick
kidneys and cure them permanently.
The following statement should
convince every River Falls reader
of their efficiency.
Joseph Alexander, retired farmer,
9th and Vine SITS, Hudson, Wis,
says: only kidney trouble made its
appearance about ten years ago.
While thre shing wheat on my farm
| was compelled to stop work on
account of the pain in my back.
After that [ had considerable trouble
from my back and Kidneys and was
often obliged II tup ten or twelve
times at night to pass the kidney
secretions. Since l began using
Doan's Kidney Pills, | have been
able to enjoy good nights rest and
my back has not not bothered me.
Although l have used but one box
of Doan's Kidney Pills, am pleas
ed to give them my endorsement"
