MRS. KREI1ER TO
GO ON STAND

Aberdeen, s. D., Oct 23.--It is be-
heved the defense will place Mrs. Eva
May Kreiter on the stand in her own
behalf when the state concludes its
testimony in the murder trial. This
belief was strengthened when the
state succeeded today in introducing
as evidence statement Mrs. Kreiter
made after the killing to States At
torney Harlxin. The statement was to
the effect that she and Kreiter had
spent the evening quietly. playing
cards, until after 10 o'clock. The
kitchen fire was low, and when Kreit-
or retired she took of her shoes and
was warming her feet before the oven
door. when Kreiter ordered her to go
to bed. She replied she would as soon
as she warmed her feet. Kreiter then
became angry. she claimed, and sprang
from the bed and attacked her, throw
ing her to the floor and choking her.
She struggled with him and he grab
bed butcher knife. She then grabbed
his knees and tripped him, and she
claims 1t was as he fell, with the sharp
butcher knife clasped in his hand, the
weapon penetrated his back and caus-
ed the death wound.
But little other testimony of Inn
portance was introduced yesterday, two
physicians who performed the post
norton testifying as to the nature Of
Kreiter's wound, but they gave no
testimony to indicate whether or not
1t could have been self inflicted. Mrs.
Clara Gracey. mother to Mrs. Kreiter,
went on the stand and testified her
daughter was is years old on Oct. 13.

ARE LOOKING UP
HISTORICAL DATA
INDIAN MOUNDS ALONG THE
JAMES RIVER AND suRvIv-
oRs or suLLY's CAM
PAIGN

jamestown. N. d., Oct. 23.--C Curator
A. C. Fish Of the State Historical So
ciety, spent Saturday in the city and
one object Of his visit was to make an
inspection Of certain Indian mounds
to be found along the river near the
city, southwest OF the Pipesten1.
Mr.. Fish is also looking up histor-
ical information concerning the SuIly
campaign, which is one Of the impor-
tant events in the early history OF the
state. Sully started from old Fort
Rice and fought one OF the greatest
Indian battles in the states history In
the Kildeer mountains In Dunn coun-
ty. There are a number OF survivors
Of General Sully's army, who are still
living as residents OF the state, and
these men are being looked UP and
their recollection and data furnished
by them recorded for use OF the fu-
ture historian OF North Dakota.
General Sully's fight In the Kildeer
mountains was on July 2s.1s64. There
were about 5000 Indians and 1000
troops. The general left a portion of
his stores and equipment on the march
protected by corral south OF Antel-
ope In Stark county, and marched
north into the Kildeer mountains
where many evidences yet remain of
the battle After defeating the In
dams Sully's army returned to their
corral and marched into Montana and
from Montana down the Yellowstone
to the Missouri and to Fort Rice.
Among the survivors OF that noted
campaign is J. d. Harker, now a resi-
dent Of Kidder county, N. d.
