KILLED BY GAS IN HIS CELLAR
Lysted's Sister Then Finds Body in
Dark and Wanders 5 Miles.

It develops that the death of Biz
ger LISTED alone in the cellar of his
cabin, 20 miles out of Baudette, was
caused by suffocation, presumed to
have been caused by gases generated
by a lighted lantern. LISTED, who
lived alone on his claim, sought the
cellar to sleep in as the only cool
place to be found. In this small,
dark, damp place he lay down, sfeav-
ing the lantern lighted. A sister,
living on an adjoining claim, became
suspicious of her brothers absence,
and went in search of him. At the
cabin there was no response to her
knocks, SO she forced her way in.
The cellar door was, open and she
climbed down into the darkness, the
lantern having burned itself out.
There she stumbled over the body of
her brother. She ran from the cab
in to the woods and was later picked
up by J. Stebakken, after having
wandered aimlessly for five miles.
Her discovery was by accident, Ste
bakken being in search of some lost
cows at the time. The body of Ly-
sted was buried near the cabin by
H. LISTED, the dead mans father who
owns a nearby claim and who ar
rived shortly after the death from,
East Grand Forks.

RETURNS KEENAN, DIVER FUNDS
Harry Masten Notifies Donators
Money Awaits Them at Bank.

Harry Masten announced today
that all persons who contributed to
the fund to employ a professional
diver to come and attempt to locate
the Keenan," the Masten boat which
sank several weeks ago, could obtain
a refund of their money by calling
at the Northern National bank. Mr..
Masten has not entirely abandoned
the idea of employing a diver but he
Goes not know how soon it will be
before he can obtain the services of
the kind Of a man needed. He feels
that to bring diver here for day
or two, in, view of the heavy winds,
would be unwise, as he believes the
boat has been carried far from where
it sank. Mr.. Masten wishes to thank
all those who have aided him in his
search and all who contributed to the
diver fund.

0BJECTSTO nestle VERDICT
Bagley Newspaper Ridicules Idea
That 20 Year Old Invalid Was
Killed in Self Defense.
THINKS AGREEMENT TOO QUICK

And now comes the Clearwater
Crystal with an editorial comment on
the Carlton case. Says the Crystal:
Murder will out.
With due respect for the verdict
of jury, we have all felt that every
thing was not just right in the effort
to convict the Nestle murderers at
Park Rapids.
The grounds upon which the con-
fessed murderers were let lose was
self defense. It is alleged that the
old man was of an awful temper and
that he ment to kill. 1t was also
testified on the stand we are told,
that the 20 year old man had not
been we'll the. past few months and
had lived almost exclusively on bread
and milk
This is where it sticks: was it
necessary to kill 70 year old sickly
man in selfdefense by two very rug
ged and healthy young people?
Would it not have been more humane
to run away until his temper had
subsidized?
Some juries are carried away by
the eloquence of an attorney and
come to an agreement before they
ever discuss the actual merits Of a
case. This is almost as wrong as is
crime itself. 1t is deplorable fact
that the serious nature of jury is be-
ing more and more lost sight of. 1t
is only a question of coming to an
agreement
The time is at hand when juries
must be educated as we'll as instruct
ing out justice must be found"

CRITICIZE FORESTER cox
Baudette and Spooner Object to Pub.
lished Reports That Those Vii
lagos are Fire Traps.
TRIP OF INSPECTION WAS BRIEF

State Forester Cox has aroused the
villages of Baudette and Spooner- by
his assertion last week that precau-
tiOns should be taken for their safe
ty as the towns were in danger of
another fire such as reduced them to
ashes last fall.
The Baudette Rainy River Region
has the following criticism in it's
current issue:
''The statement made recently by
State Forester Cox to the effect that
Baudette and Spooner are fire traps
and that conditions are worse than
before the big fire of last fall is not
making a hit in the two villages
Mr.. Cox may be an expert at the for
estry business but he spent only an
hour or so in the woods near here
and his investigation was too brief
to warrant him making the state
''Those who have spent years here
and who understand conditions say
that it is absolutely impossible for
a fire like that of last fall to visit
this section again this year. Such
wide publicity has been given to Mr.
Cox's statement that damage to both
Baudette and Spooner will undoubt-
eddy result. Already some of the in
surance companies are showing some
alarm, and it would surprise no one
if some withdrew their policies as a
result of Cox's statements.
"Mr. Cox may honestly believe in
the truth of his statements, but we
think it is hardly fair to Spooner
and Baudette to give such statements
to the papers to scatter over the
country, to the injury of the two
villages.
''There will be no big fire in this
section simply because conditions are
not ripe for one, Notwithstanding the
opinion of Mr.. Cox. There is no
doubt that considerable cleaning up
should be done on the outskirts of
the two villages, but this could be
done without giving Spooner and
,Baudette the undesirable advertis-
ing they are receiving

The "Marcum'' boat also gave a

lake and was we'll on the way to the
outlet where its occupants planned
on stopping for fish, when big
wave broke over the bow of the boat
and drenched the engine, leaving the
party adrift and without power. The
northwest wind drove the craft to-

came alongside the logs, the occu-

The launch drifted harmlessly

DETECTIVES IN
REFORMATION
Get Sentenced as Pickpock-
cts to Learn the Facts.

Railway, N. j., Sept. 19.-It has be-
come known here that two detectives,
supposed to be from the Burns agency
In New York, had themselves arrested
at Washington Park on the Delaware
to get information concerning alleged
cruelt1es In the state reformatory here.
1t was Judge Starr who sentenced
them In the Gloucester county court.
For almost two months the detectives
mingled with the inmates, meeting
criminals of all kin1s. The supposed
plckpockets, Alfred Blake and Richard
Bradley, have Just been liberated on
habeas corpus proceedings begun by
their hackers, who are said to be
politicians.
Judge Starr at first refused to talk
of the affair, but when pressed for de.
tails said he would not deny the story.
1t was July % that Blake and Brad
ley were arrested" The same day
they were taken before Judge Starr,
given a quick hearing and hustled off
to Railway.
Neither County Prosecutor Alexander
Rogers nor Sheriff Wilson would dis
cuss the case, but they refused to deny
the story.
