Russian Was
Burned to Death

Williston, N. D., Aug. 29-Paul Bro
kowski, a Russian, and a resident OF
North Dakota about year met death
in a peculiar manner last Saturday
near his home four miles northwest
of Squires.
The unfortunate man had driven a
spirited team into Squires Saturday
afternoon and was on his way home
when the accident befell him. Bro
kowski was inveterate cigarette smok-
er and although no one was with or
near him at the time it Is thought
he accidentally set fire to some hay in
the wagon. The team ran away,
threw the man out and in the fall his
neck was broken. The fire spread to
the grass and grain in adjacent fields
and burned over a large patch of
ground. The body was almost Gre
mated, all but one foot being burned
to a crisp When the remains were
picked up later partially burned
shoe remained on the remaining foot
The sight was a CHASTITY one. The
remains were buried near the late
residence Monday.
A strange fatality seems to follow
the Brokowski family. Two years
ago son was out hauling stone when
the same team his father afterwards
drove ran away and the young man
was killed. Two other sons are now
on their way to this country from
Russia and they will learn nothing OF
their fathers death until they arrive
in Williams county. .

Story Has
Third Chapter
THE YOUNG RYDER WOMAN WHO IS
SAID TO HAVE FOlLED A NEW ENG.
LANDER OUT WEST, THEN MAR.
RED ANOTHER LELLOW, HAS
DEPARTED wa~.@

The story of the New England
young man, who came clear to Ryder
to wed the beautiful young woman,
whom he promised to let vote while
he did the homework, has a third
chapter which was enacted this week.
The fair, but tickle young woman,
it will be remembered, plighted her
vows with prominent young Minot
machin1st just two days before the
forlorn young New Englander arrived
with his 5000 letters. received from
girls all over the United States. There
was but a week or two Of welded
bliss, however, for the young wife has
gone, and her husband reports that
he knows not whittier she has departed
She disappeared last Saturday from
the DeVolne boarding house, and II
is believed that she went westward
accompanied by a we'll known Ward
county business man, who had pafa
her considerable attention for the past
four or five years.
The lrate young husband, says he
does not feel so badly over the loss
of his wife, as he does over the dirty
trick that has been played upon him,
and he swears by all that is bad and
holy that he will make the business
man pay for it, if indeed it can be
proved that his spouse went away
with him.

M1NOT EMPLOYEES WILL JOIN MOVE.
MENT WHEREIN THE FIFTY-TWO
ROADS WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI
WILL BE PRESENTED WITH De.
MAND, POSSIBLY

The Independent has it from very
good authority that the railroad men
in Minot, employed by the Great
Northern and the 500, will soon Join
movement, wherein they will oak
for a big increase in wages.
The matter has been kept very
quiet, and but a comparatively few
OF oven the railway men know that
within few days every conductor,
brakeman, f1agnan and train baggage
man will vote for schedule OF wages
which means the highest increase
ever asked for by body OF railroad
men of the west and if the fitty-two
roads west of Chicago accede to the
demands their payrolls will be in.
creased many millions.
The demands were formulated at g.
meeting of the Western Association
Of General Trainmen in St. Louis and
will be sent out in circular form to
every railroad man Of the West from
the headquarters of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen and the Ordo"
OF Railway Conductors.
The association asks for an increase
Of $3.50 a month for passenger con-
ductors and SIS a month for passen-
ger brakemen, f1agmen and baggage
men. In the freight service a fiat de.
mand Of is per cent increase is made,
Overtime for passenger men is to be
paid for all actual consumed in excess
OF a speed Of twenty-five miles an
hour at hourly rate, ~ follows: Pas
| senger conductors, 81 cents an houru;
passenger fagmen and brakemen, Is
cents an hour; brakemen, 80 cents an
hour. Time to begin when the train
leaves and ends when the terminal
is reached.
On freight trains propelled by the
Mallet type Of engines the rate shall
be so per cent higher than the regu-
lar rate on any given line.
One hundred miles or less, ten
hours or less in freight service shall
constitute days work and shall ap.
ply to all forms OF freight trains TAX.
ing in through freights pusher, local
and work trains.
! On roads where electric or motor
service has. been established the regu-
lar passenger schedules shall continue
to apply except where they are high
er than the passenger rates and then
the higher motor or electric rates are
not to be changed.
The vote is bv referendum and
when it is counted the heads Of the
two orders represented will notify the
general managers of the result of the
vote and ask for a conference to con-
slider the demands of the men.

Dominion Government than that
which goes into this tree planting pro-
jeot. Before the government was CIV
ing this aid, the farmers did not pay
much attention to tree planting and
when they did plant they often got
the wrong variey, got them planted in
the wrong location, did not properly
prepare the ground nor know how to
care FOR trees 60 that failure was often
the result and If the trees did grow
they were usually in the wrong place.
This, however, has all been changed
by the present plan. Nothing can be
done to improve the appearance Of the
country more than the planting Of
trees about the farm home and there
is nothing that will do so much to
make the farmstead on the prairie
home-like.

Former Minot Man
Killed in St. Paul
CHAS. P. WEIGH, DISCHARGED CT.
NORTHERN DETECTIVE, INSTANT
LY KILLED BY AL. c. RAY, CHIEF
SPECIAL AGENT, WHOSE LIFE HE
TRIED TO TAKE

Charles P Welsh, formerly night
yard detective for the Great Northern
in Minot, was shot and killed by Chief
Special Agent AL. G. Ray at St. Paul
Tuesday morning. Welsh was en-
ployed in this city up until about two
years ago, and is we'll known to .
large number here. He was always
considered very efficient man in
Minot, and he had unearthed many IT.
regularities along the line. It was
his habit to travel as labOrer or q
hobo, and in such a disguise, he was
able to ascertain many facts that
led to the arrest Of many bad men.
Ray is also we'll known in Minot.
He visited this city only last Friday,
passing through on his way home
from the west. The following dispatch
gives the details of tht affair:
st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 30.-C. P.
Welsh, aged As, a discharged special
agent of the G. N. r., entered the Of
fee of Chief Special Agent AL. G. Ray,
this morning and without warning
shot i've times q Ray and missed hin
Ray lodged each shot and at the fifth
got his gun into action and shot Welsh
dead.
About two months ago Ray dis
carged Welsh for shooting at a man
at Duluth and since that time Welsh
had been very indicative against
Ray. Yesterday, meeting Special Off,
Ger John Lane at the Great Northern
headquarters, Welsh began to curse
and revile Ray, Lane told Welsh to
keep still AZ he would not allow Welsh
to speak disrespectfully Of his superb
or officer in hts presence. Welsh
then directed his wrath against Lane
saying he would get Lane, too.
Today Welsh walked into Mr.. Rays
of{lce and asked Chief Clerk Hess II
there was any mail. On being told
there was nothing for him he said he
would return in couple Of days and
went away. Shortly afterwards Ray
entered his private Office and had
hardly seated himself at his desk
when Welsh entered and without say.
ing word began shooting, Ray dodg.
cd each shot successfully and at the
ffth shot got his gun into action and
with the first bullet killed the would

Ray was the man who recently I'M
earthed extensive trip pass frauds
which had been practiced against the
Great Northern In connection with
contract labor.
Threw Bottle Of Nitro Gtyeerine.
Welsh was shot at least four times,
once through the head and once thru
the stomach and each OF these two
wounds the coroner says would have

Welsh pulled a pint bottle of nitro
glycerine with fuse and percussion
cap attached from his pocket and
hurled It to the floor. It failed to
explode and the police say they be-
lieve that the failure to explode was
due to the fact that it was wrapped In
heavy paper, otherwise It would have
blown that part of the immense Great
Northern building to fragments and
caused a terrible loss of life. Ray
gave himself up pending action BY
the coroner.
