wagon and double harness, was found
in the possession of Olson, he claim
ing that he had purchased them from
man he met on the road who was an
entire stranger to him.
Olson was living on his claim at the
time and was alone and had no way
Of proving an alibi, and he claims he
was railroaded to the pen. Through
the courtesy of Warden Hellstrom a
newspaper representative was allowed
to interview Olson yesterday, and got
his side of the story.
Olson is a rather tall, hight COM
plected Scandinavian and has the
prison pallor to a marked degree, hav-
ing been confined in the institution
since -une ., 1906 He is employed
in the machine shop and the officials
say has been a model prisoner all the
time.
He was visibly affected when the
reporter was introduced to him, and
has been considerably excited since re-
ceiving the news of the finding of a
coat on the N. P. bridge near this
place, and in which a note was found
which contained, among other things,
a statement of the determination of
the owner to commit suicide, and a
confession that he was the man that
killed Peterson and then sold the
property to a man unknown to him.
Olson states that he met the man on
the road and then and there purchased
the outfit as it was just what he need
ed to do the work with on his claim,
which he had just taken up that spring.
He states that he was slightly sus-
ptcious of the man, but that he told
a straightforward story about the
ownership of the team and finally sold
them for $45. This was not such a
small price then, as the horses were
in poor condition and horses were not
bringing much in the market at that
time.
He states that he was acquainted
with Peterson but that he had never
had any trouble with him, and he
stated to the reporter with tears in
his eyes, that his history could be
traced from the cradle and it would
be found that he. had never had a
| fight in his life or even a serious dis
agreement with any of his fellow men.
He thinks there were people in Nc
Henry county who were anxious to get
rid of him and that he was railroaded
to the penitentiary.
When asked IL he had anything to
say to the press he stated that he
was not used to saying smu h. bat
that he was innocent and that he
would appreciate anything that could
be done to get him out of the pen and
that he was entirely innocent OF any
completely in the crime with which
he was charged.
| He told with tears in his eyes OF
how his imprisonment was wearing
on him and stated that at times he
was afraid he was going to lose his
mind, but now a ray of hope has come
he would take on renewed courage
He says that he had a wife and two
children, but that they had not come
| to his claim to live as he had not
proper quarters fixed up for them.
His wife has secured a divorce and
remarked since his Imprisonment in
the penitentiary.
The mans brother has been in the
city since the finding Of the note
which seemingly exhonorates Olson
from all connection with the crime.

and he suggested searching the river
for signs of the man who Is supposed
to have committed suicide, but this
has been abandoned, as the Mis-
souri, river never gives up It's dead
at this point as the shifting sands at
the bottom of the river quickly cover
any object thrown into 1t. and there
has never been known an instance
where the body of drowned man
has been recovered.
Just what steps will be taken by
the state or county officials to in
vestigate the matter cannot be said,
but there will probably be some ac-
ton.
At the last June meeting of the
state board Of pardon Olson had an
application in, but it was not acted
upon.

porter was ended and the guard came
to take Olson back to the machine
shop, the man stood with bowed head
and detected mein and with tears
streaming from his eyes while he
waited for the turnkey to swing back
the big steel barred door which would
again shut him out from communica-
tfon with his fellow men, and the re-
porter could not help feeling, after
the conversation with the man, that
an innocent party was being confined
behind the bars of the North Dakota
state penitentiary.

did not disturb her until nearly Q
o'clock and then found that she was
dead The condition Of the body

while before she was found.

to the public health laboratory at the
university and the examination there
showed diphtheria.

voted husband, four children to mourn
the loss OF sweet and gentle mother.

Park River, N. D., May 5.--Four
times within a single year, Mr.. and
Mrs. e. Herwick Of this city have been
bereaved by the death of children and
today they are childIess. Twelve
months ago four children, the eldest
boy of years, were apparently in
the best Of health. The death Of the
last child took place suddenly. He was
seated by the breakfast table when he
suddenly became i'll. Two physicians
were summoned, but the little fellow
died three hours later. He was years
old. This almost duplicates the sad
Ayr case where Mr.. and Mrs. Francis
lost their whole family of four little
ones inside of month.

Williston, N. D., May 5.-Two propo.
sitions of dividing williams county
