RELEASED FROM JAIL
TUhlA's DEATH MYSTERY

Thsre is as much mystery surrounding
the death of Albert Tuna today as there
was on the 9th of May when it was first
learned that he was missing. 1t is sup
posed that he lost his life near or in the
N. P. reservoir on May 7. The body
was found floating in the water two
weeks later. Henry Brown was arrested
because he was last seen with Tuna and
because he acted queerly about the
affair and because of the stories he told.
However, during the past week the coro-
nor's jury, acting in conjunction with
States Attorney. M. L. Mcbride.
ordered his release.
It was found that Brown and one,
Bell. told different stories on material
points and both parties were carefully
investigated.
People around the city thought it
strange that the mystery could no, be
ferreted out, and the authorities finally
employed Pinkerton detective for two
weeks. The detective was apparently a
good one and followed every clue pos
sibIe. He visited Brown in jail, in
fact, was lodged behind the bars with
him for several days. He followed up
many stories that were floating around
bout the disappearance of Tuna. He
visited the lake. studied the surround
inas that might have a possible bearing
upon the matter, and finally came to
the conclusion that there was nothing
further that could be done toward solving
the mystery.
No report has been received from
Grand Forks on the stomach sent in for
analysis, but this could not possibly
furnish any new evidence for the appre-
hension of any person connected with
the Tuna mystery. AS soon as the re-
port is received from the university the
coronor's jury will file formal report.

The quality and cleanliness of the

black hat, tan shoes, coat and vest
and two pairs of overalls. light shirt
and light underclothing. One pair ol
overalls was marked Aberdeen, S. D.,

The man was about 80 years old.

but he was alone. Many of the railroad
boys and others saw the remains at the
l. A. Davis & Son morgue but failed to
remember ever having seen him before.
He was buried on Wednesday in the
Dickinson cemetery
Probably nothing more will ever be
learned of the murder. 1t is not believed
that the murder was committed by any
one belonging in this local ity.
It is understood that the railroad com.

as though the company should keep one

H'fW CITY /

W. B. Howe Tells Of CT
Use on Banks Of Missc..... -...
Manufacturing Will Flourish.
Park Reserve a Feature.

On Tuesday W. B. Howe came over
from Energy. the new town located in
Northeastern Mercer county on the Mis-
souriSriver bottom about IL miles west
Of Underwood. He had been away from
his home near Hettineer for a few days
on matters connected with the sale of
lots at the new town, and was hurrying
back south to attend to. wool sales.
Energy is located in what is known as
the Hancock bottoms and as was stated
in the PRESS last week. it is the plan
of the townsite company. of which Mr..
Howe is member. to establish manu-
featuring industries at once. The COM
pany has reserved IS acres of land for q
public park and will take steps to have
the same improved and set to trees at a
near date. A large number Of lots have
already been sold. The company owns
LOO acres of this beautiful bottom land
and will make ample provision for sites
for public buildings, manufacturing, the
supplying of power. water works sys-
TEN, etc.
Miss Marion Howe is assistant secre-
tary and is to have charge Of the COM
pany's Office at Energy. Wayne Howe
is already on the ground helping to sur
vey out the new manufacturing citv. II
is likely that Mr. and Mrs. Howe will
move there later. as Mr.. Howe is one of
the townsite officers and will also be a
director in the bank which is to be Or
ganized within few weeks.
The promoters Of Energy have not
figured on any line of railroad but it is
believed that the 500 and perhaps the
Great Northern will cross. to the west
side Of the Missouri river at this point,
and if the linen mills, briquettina
plants and other industries planned
materialize, it will not be long until
several railroads are building toward the
promisins manufacturing hub Of West
ern North Dakota.

Name of Murdered Man: Was About 80 Years Old.

One of the most shocking and cold

these pages was committed in this city
early Tuesday morning. The victim
was an unknown man and by what can
be cleaned from fragments of letters and
papers. his name was E. j. Cranfield.
of Bedford. England.
1t was unquestionably case of murder
for money; how much no one knows.
Early Tuesday afternoon Chief of
Police Corbett was told that man.
evidently dead. was lying in pile of
telephone poles several yards west of the
Farmers elevator in the western part OF
the railroad yards. The information
was given him by some little boys who
were passing there and discovered the
dead man. On reaching the place. Mr..
Corbett was shocked to find man with
his face and head beaten almost into
jelly. He Immediately summoned Coro.
nor A. D. Davis and other officials. Fred
Wilson, VIM. Hazenwinkle and w. C.
Boehlke were sworn on coronor's jury.
The finding of the jury is something
like this:
The murdered man was sitting on the
telephone poles, evidently with his hat
off, and probably taking to someone.
when he was struck from behind with
an ice chisel, which was found nearby.
In the several blows which were given.
one side of the head was crushed in,
the contents coming out an opening on

which makes interesting reading as
follows:
Deputy Sheriff Barnes and Chief of
Police Mcdonald saw a dray starting
toward the south side of the tracks with
load of beer aboard. They immedi-
ately climbed on another dray and gave
chase. The first drayman did not think
anything about it when he saw another
dray starting out, until he observed the
oficres. He then whipped his horses to
gallop and tried to make a getaway.
The second drayman followed suit and
the two teams pounded along. at a fear
full rate. The police saw the leading
driver commence to kick the cases off
his dray and call to him to stop. fIe
only whipped the horses the harder how
ever.
The officers then fred their revolvers
and opened fire on the dray load of beer.
A few shots had the desired effect,
and the man halted his team. When
the officers drove up to him they found
three cases of beer on the dray. These
they promptly seized and then compel
led the fellow to turn back and pick up
the one he had kicked off while on the
run. Five more were found in this
manner.
A short distance further the police
noticed small shack that looked some
what suspicious, so they drove to it and
smashed down the door. They searched
the inside and three more cases were
found. They were the last that were
seized during the afternon, making q
total of eleven cass; capturd altogether.
The eight cases taken from the dray-
man were all taken from one Nuckle6y,
the hush and of Mrs. Thompson, whose
place in the bottoms has been Iaided
before. The three cases in the shack
while not on her premises, are said by
the police to be hers also.
The police, are determined to put q
