Burt Hudson Was Once Arrested o
Suspicion Of Being Moline.

Wahpeton, N. D., Dec. 12.-The
man who shot and killed Sheriff
Moody and was himself hunted down
and shot to death, is Burt Hudson
and not Charles Moline, the escaped
lunatic.
The positive identity of Hudson
was made today by o. c.. Reimsn-
schneider, a farmer who lives near
Wahpeton. Hudson worked for
Reimens chneider last winter and I'M
til April Since that time he has
worked on other farms near Wahpe-
ton and during the fall has hung out
in Wahpeton.
In some respects he bore striking
resemblance to Moline, but was not
so tall by four inches and was dark
while Moline was fair. He had been
arrested a short time ago by one OF
the deputy sheriffs of Richland coun-
ty on suspicion that he was Moline
but had later been turned loose.
Warden Hellstrom of the state
penitentiary was in Wahpeton today
and stated positively that the dead
bandit was not Moline.
No reason can be given here fol
the change in Hudson's character
from peaceable citizen to blood
thirsty criminal and it is believed hi
was taken with fit Of insanity.
No arrangements have been made
for the disposal Of Hudson's body

The dollar was adopted by congress
as the unit Of our currency on August

In the New York Life Insurance

For instance, figures show that al

underweight are better than average
risks. Does 1t not then seem prob
able that the point Of most favorable
build is about half way from "a pei
