UNUSUAL CASE N
STUTSMAN COUNTY
Brother and Sister Arrested
Body of Their Child
Cannot Be Found

Jamestown, N. D., Oct. 11.-Charles
Gilbert and his own sister. Emma Gill
bert Of Montpelier, were in justice
court yesterday to answer the
charge of incest. brought by State
Humane Officer William Blake, but it
is believed by many who are closely
interested in the case. that even more
weighty charges may be lodged against
them as the result of an investigation
Of the death of their child. The wom-
admitted that she was guilty Of the
charge brought by Mr.. Blake, and
talked of the death of their child.
born in September of last year.. She
said that she was responsible for the
death of the infant by not giving it
the care that She knew 1t required i'm
mediately after its birth. believing the
child would be better dead than alive.
She said tina she was alone with her
child died he took the body and buried
it under a straw stack on their farm.
She told the same story to Mr.. Blake,
when he made the double arrest,
and when the officer told the
man to take him and his companion
to the scene of the burial, Gilbert led
them to an old tumbled-down stack
or straw ABOUT half a mile from the
house. He said the body was buried
about two feet in the ground, but al
though the party searched until after
midnight, no trace of the remains of
the baby could be found. Further
search in the morning was fruitless.
The hunt o the body is made diff
cult on account Of the old straw be-
ing blown about and the field being
p!owed. having the appearance Of the
plow being run carelessly over the
straw that remained on the ground.
Mr.. Gilbert was brought into justice
court o nthe charge of incest and
was represented by former States At
torney George w. Thorpe.
One of the witnesses called was Gill
bert's son. only Z years old. 1t is
charged that Gilbert has been living
with his sister as man and wife since
the death of the boys mother -four
years CO.. After the witnesses that
had been secured were heard, the case
was continued until Nov. IL on ac-
count of the desire of both sides to
secure additional evidence. The case
has been the subject Of numerous
anonymous complaints to Mr.. Blake
for some time. but lately he re-
ceived a letter which he felt demand
ed immediate investigation. The ar
rests and the quickly following hear
ing resulted. Tho case has attracted
a great deal of attention in the SOUTH
ern part Of the county n a large
number are closely watching for flu
ture developments.

home this morning from Grand Forks.
where he has been for several days as
sisting in the plans for the campaign
for funds for the Y. NJ. G. A. building
at the up state town.
THE spirit manifested at Grand
Forks was the best hat 1 have ever
seen in a town Of that size," said Mr..
Wolf this morning. The men Of the
city there are boosters and when I left
there had been twenty more men who
had promised to give 500 each and
the twenty men who had been slated
for gifts of 500 were to raise their
amounts to larger subscriptions.
THE campaign at Grand Forks
opened yesterday with a dinner. Pre-
vious to hat there had been special
services over the city Sunday at which
Mr.. Miller, other secretaries n my
self spoke. all of the talks showing
what the association had lone and
working toward the opening Of the
campaign.
in the conference yesterday morn
ing, George McDill of Chicago. who
the chief worker, suggested that
the men who were to give large sub
scriptions had better pledge them be-
fore the dinner hour arrived. He de-
sired to go to the dinner and have at
least one $500 subscription to an
nounce to begin the campaign for
$1,000.
During the conference. Mr.. Clark.
a member of the board of trustees.
arose and stated that he would give
$1,000 If the remainder Of the amount
would be raised. Mr.. Griffith was up
in a minute and pledged another
$1,000 on the same conditions. These
men with Joe Clifford of Cream
Of Wheat fame. have been great
workers in the Y. NJ. c. A. at Grand
Forks. and a telephone message was
received from Mr.. Clifford, who lives
in Minneapolis. and the latter sub
scribed $1,000 on the same conditions.
lat the dinner there We're the Wis
iting secretaries present and fifty busi-
ness men with the finest enthusiasm
Those business men went
out on their campaign and in a short
time raised $1,000.
while in Grand Forks Mr.. McDill.
Is planning the campaign for a
new building at Billings. Mont. re-
a telegram from eastern par
ties stating that they would pledge
$40. 900 toward the building at Billings.
on certain conditions.
"a. L. Miller Of Fargo is at Grand
and is assisting there for the
of the campaign. which will
be until Saturday. He is doing great
work and handling many Of the de-
tails of the Grand Forks campaign in
a most capable manner.
THE campaign is meeting with
success that when I left they had
decided TO make their goal $4,000 in
stead Of $1,000. and I see no reason
why they will not be able to make It,"

ton will be as near a Grand Forks
product as is possible. The chorus
will meet every Tuesday evening at

Of Louis U. Rowland Of the Wesley

one of the most successful efforts Of
the Oratorio society.
The date for the concert has not

time before the holiday vacation be-
gins.
All of the old members of the chorus

enlightened by reading the news in

is the only man in North Dakota that
has been so signally honored by the
