Old Timer Ends
Life by Hanging
John Btodrick Uses Suspender with
Deadly Effect at BeIfieId-.. Was
Well Known Locally

John Brodrick, who was IA
miliar character around Beach last
summer, and who is we'll known
in sporting circles in different
parts of the state, committed
suicide at Belield last week, as a
result Of continued intoxication.
1t will be remembered that
while in Beach he acted very
queerly and on one occasion
caused considerable excitement
in the residence district by call
ing at one of the homes and re.
questing the mistress to join
with him in prayer, believing he
was about to die as result of
his drinking, and having the
fear of God in his heart. On
several other occasions he
caused considerable excitement
both here and at Wibaux by his
queer actions. He had been wan
dering about the stat, and finally
becoming disgusted with himself.
and crazed by liquor, ended his
life in the hotel at Belfield. The
Times gives the following ac-
count of his self-destruction:
John Brodrick. who came here
last Thursday and registered at
the Imperial hotel, was found
hanging with his suspender tied
around his neck, to bed-post in
his room at 4 p. m. yesterday.
Upon registering at the hotel
he told Landlord Esiick that he
had been doped on the train and
his money and other valuables
taken from him. but that he ex-
pected money from the east in a
few days. He was given a room
and the following morning asked
for the price Of few meals,
which was given him. He had
been acting and talking queerly
and seemed respondent over the
fact that he couldn't find liquor
store here and was unable to get
any Of the wet goods.
He was last seen going to his
room at 9 o'clock Tuesday night.
He had expressed his intention
Of leaving that night. and as
there was no one else to put into
the room the hotel people did
not discover his fate until Thurs
day afternoon. when one of the
girls went up to the supposed
va:ant room for lamp.
Coroner's inquest was held last
evening and gave a verdict of
stangulation inflicted by his own
hands.
The deceased was man of
about As years of age and an old
resident Of this state. He has
a wife and one child, who, &C.
cording to letters found on him,
expected to join him here in the
spring.
His wife. who is at her former
home in Chicago, and a brother
at Sterling, ILL.,, were notified
yesterday by wire and the body
will be held until they are heard
from.

The school land sale was pulled
off at Medora yesterday and the
record price for school land in
North Dakota was established.
If the sale had been held in Beach
there would have been more COM
petition in the bidding. but as it
was there were plenty bidders and
all the good pieces, with few ex-
ceptions, went away above the ap-
praised value. Pieces appraised
at $12 went as high as $26; pieces
appraised at $40 went to $3S. The
section just south of town sold

SCHOOL LAND SALE BREAKS THE STATE RECORD
Court at Medora
Comes to End
Fence Decision Of Interest to set-
tiers and Ranchers- .StockWeII-
Raigh Case Continued

The regular term of the dis
trict court at Medora came to an
end Monday, the criminal and civil
docket, with one notable exception
having been cleaned up. It has
been ,wearisome grind for all
who were compelled to be in at
tendance, both owing to the re.
stricted quarters in the magnifi-
cent (?) temple of justice and in
the town at large.
Among the cases of Importance
dealt with we mention the follow
ing:
In the case of Johnstone VS..
Rush for damages to grain by
stock running at large, accord
ing to Judge Crawford, there is
no fence law in this county. but
the herd law is still in force, and
the Judge so instructed the jury.
This is quite blow to the cattle
men, most of whom were under
the impression that the fence law
was still in force as voted at the
general election in 1896. A great
many Of the farmers, too. who
have been troubled in the man
ner stated above, have been won-
dering why they had no recourse,
when, as matter of fact, they
have had it all along and did not
know it.
The last case to come up was the
much-talked-of case of Stockwell
VS.. Haigh-a suit for damages
with which all of our readers are
more or less acquainted. Judge
Crawford continued the case until
another term for various reasons,
one of which was that he did not
believe that trial jury could be
procured from the regular panel.
Concerning anothe, angle Of this
case the Bismarck Tribune has
the following to say:
Rather an interesting question Of
practice and decision on stat.
ute that is not very we'll defined al
present will be heard by the su,
preme court February 2 next
This is proceeding brought from
Billings county and involves the
statute regarding affidavits ot
prejudice filed against a district
Judge. In proceeding in Bi!
lings county an affidavit of preju
dice was filed against Judge Craw
ford, but not on the opening da!
of the term, and only short tim,
previous to the calling of the cas-,
for trial.
The contention of attorney films
the affidavit is that such filing i
permissible any time before tn
actual commencement Of the tria
and the view taken by opposin,
counsel is that it must be don
on the first day Of the term.
The particular proceeding il
which the affidavit was made
entitled Stockwell vs.. Haigh, a
action for damages placed at S., ,00O
The ruling Of Judge Crawfor'
granting the motion and adjourn
ing the term is assigned as error
It is understood one Of the rea
sons the term was adjourned wa
the inability of Judge Crawfor
to secure some other district judg'
to act in his stead, all of the othe
various trial judges being engage
in their own districts.
