BRUTAL MURDER
OF N. D. FARMER
BODY OF JAMES SCHROEDER, AN
( UPHAM FARMER, FOUND IN
HIS HAYSTAck.

Upham, N. D.. Feb. 16.--A murder OF
the most brutal nature was revealed
today when the body Of James ssehroe-
der. aged 4s years, a bachelor farmer
residing four miles from this city, was
found in haystack.
The murder evidently was commit
ted in the barn and the dead body
hauled by the murderer to the hay-
stack, half mile distant, near the
Mouse river. the evident intention be-
ing to conceal the crime as long as
possible.
The dead body was found by neigh
Dor who had purchased hay from
Schroeder and had come over to his
farm to haul away load He had
just started to load up when he un-
covered the body with the head almost
blown off by charge of shot. The
only motive that can be attributed for
the horrible crime is robbery. The
pockets of the dead man were turned
inside out and there were other evil
dences that the body and residence
had been rifled.
There is only a slight clue as to the
murderer, but the county authorities
are busy on the case. The bringing
of the dead body to this city created
something of a sensation Schroeder
was well and favorably known here.
and 1t was not known that he had anv
enemies in this section.
From the fact that the body was
hauled from the barn to the haystack
in sleigh, it is believed that the
murderer is a resident Of this section
Of the country.

RUSSIA To
MAKE WAR
On China?
Relation Said to Be Near Break
ing Point
Powers Given Formal Notice
by Russia
Demonstration to Be Made on
Chinese Frontier

London, Feb. 16.-The relations OF
Russia and China are strained to the
breaking point. Russia today notified
the governments of Great Britain,
France and Germany of her intention
to make a military demonstration on
the Russo-Chinese frontier, owing to
China's persistent violation of the st.
Petersburg treaty of 1881.
Russian troops will be sent forthwith
to the district of Iii. The extent OF
the demonstration, 1t is added In the
diplomatic note, will depend upon the
attitude assumed by China.
The vital questions involved are free
trade in Mongolia, extra territory for
Russians i'm China, and the establish
ment of a Russian consulate at Koabdo,
Mongolia.
There have rumors recently Of the
alleged violations Of the Russo Chinese
treaty. That the situation was acute,
however, had been denied both by the
Chinese foreign board and the Rus
sian legation at Peking.
1t has been admitted that there were
differences in the interpretations of
the international agreement as made at
st. Petersburg and at Picking. The
treaty adopted i'm 1881 expires this
month and it has been reported that
China was unwilling to renew it at
least not until certain notifications had
been made.
The exchanges have been closely
guarded by both powers, and what
stage the Negotiations have reached
was not indicated until yesterday when
The st. Petersburg Gazette announced
that an important conference had been
held at the war ministry to consider,
"China's persistent houting of the
treaty stipulations."
The province Of Iii, to which Rus
sian troops WIZ be sent, lies in the
northern part of the Chinese empire.
BY provision of the Russo Chinese
treaty in 1881, the western portion of
iii Is Incorporated with Russia in order
to serve as a place OF establishment
for the inhabitants of Russia who,
having adopted Russian dependence,
had to abandon lands which they pos
sessed there.

Canadian annexation is the logical

Once the Canadian farmer has tasted

MANDAN FAIR
Bill in DOUBT

Bismarck, N d.. Feb 16.--The Man
dan fair bin passed the house yester-
day morning by a vote Of So to- 8,
largely through the efforts of Speaker
Hanley An effort was made to send
the bill to the committee on appro-
priations, but the speaker objected
stating that it was only pretext to
stave off action and ultimately kill
1t. He choked off further debate on
the question by making motion which
brought about the vote at once.
The bill, 1t is said, will not have
such smooth sailing in the senate.
Carrying an appropriation 1t will
necessarily have to be committed to
the committee which looks after such
things and not to the state affairs
nor any other committee which does
not consider such propositions.
When 1t reaches the senate appro-
priation committee, just how the bill
win come out has already been fore
casted in several different predictions.
One clique prophesies that 1T will at
least bring back with 1t majority
and minority report. which will insure
some consideration and discussion. An
other crowd claims that the bin has
no future at all, as 1t will be killed
In the COMMITTEES
This will mean that Speaker Hanley
and the rest Of the Morton county
delegation will have to visit the SEN
ate chamber very often during the
next fourteen days and call on those
senators who are members Of the
committee On appropriations, for the
.'gohblins may sit the Mandan fair eli

Representatives Stern and Akesson
OF Cass county voted against the
measure The other Cass county
members favored the bill.
