PEACEMAKER'S
SKULL CRACKED
VICTIM or DAKOTA WEDDING
PARTY 5RAWL Is IN cRITI-
CAL CONDITION.

Mandan, N. d.. Sept. e.-The role Of
peacemaker is far from smooth, and
Wendelin Schwartz. still lying in a
Bismarck hospital from injuries which
he received in a wedding festival brawl
at Odense, this county. is evidence
of that fact.
In the testimony that was introduced
at the hearing of Mike and Alexander
Zahnner, charged with assault with
intent to KILL it was shown that
Schwartz had attempted to act as
peacemaker when he received such a
beating that he has been on the verge
of death for some time. One of the
brothers, it was charged by witnesses
in the case, struck him with a neck
yoke, while another struck him with a
stick after he had fallen to the ground
The two men accused were bound
over to the district court under espe-
cially heavy bonds, these being fixed
at $4,000 in each case. The attending
physician, one of the witnesses for the
prosecution, stated that the condition
Of the injured man remaiend critical
and that only week ago an operation
was performed to remove q portion OF
the skull.

APPLICATIONS
SAVED BY CHANGE

Minot. N D.. Sept. 6.--Bertie Ferris
of Lakota saved her own application
for a Fort Berthold homestead and
those Of thirteen others from being
thrown out BY Judge Witten for not
being properly stamped.
Miss Ferris, accompanied by her
brother and another gentleman all Of
Lakota, registered In this city last
week. The two men returned at once
to their home, leaving their applica-
tions with Miss Ferris to be mailed,
she having decided to remain In the
city few days the guest of friends
In Lakota. owing to the fact that
there is no free delivery. a one cent
stamp is all that Is necessary TO car
ry a letter from one party to another
providing both live In Lakota, and
Miss Ferris failed to remember that
this did not hold true here and mailed
all three applications with a one
cent stamp on each. Shortly after
wards she remembered her mistake
and went at once to the postoffice In
an effort to have the proper postage
placed on the applications. She was
informed that there was absolutely
no way OF identifying her particular
applications. but after looking through
the mail the clerk discovered fourteen
which had been mailed
with one cent stamps She purchased
fourteen one cent stamps and thus
saved eleven other applications beside
the three she had mailed.

Jamestown, N. D., Sept 6.An I'M
successful attempt at suicide was
made in the county Jail by Frank G.
Bengston of Braddock, Emmons coun-
ty. The man, who had slashed his
throat in several places. was hurried
to the city hospital early the next
morning and 1t is believed he has
every chance Of recovery.
Bengston came to Deputy Sheriff
Spanton Saturday and asked to be
placed in a cell, saying that an engi-
neer had told him that 1t would be
best for him. Mr.. Spanton thought at
once the man was insane and this be-
lief was strengthened when Mr.. Beng
ston was taken before Judge Hemmi.
The man seemed to be greatly agi-
tated over the fact that he had run
over pig on his 160-acre farm. When
he spoke Of the incident he became
greatly excited and dwelt upon the
subject.
Judge Hemmi told the deputy sher-
iff to take care of the man, but as
there had been no hearing or other
process Of law to commit him to con-
finement the offlcials had no right to

LAY FOUR DAYS
WITHOUT AID

Manning News: Stephen Kolesnik.
the 1s-year-old son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Sam Kolesnik. who live two miles
north of Manning. met with what
proved to be fatal accident at the
farm Of George Hammond, northwest
of Oakdale.
The young man was employed as a
farm hand at the Hammond home and
was doing the chores around the barn
in the evening while Mr.. and Mrs.
Hammond were away attending the
funeral of G. f. Renshaw. He was
leading a yearling colt to the barn
and when the colt pulled back the
young man made an attempt to hit
him with the halter rope. the colt
turned and kicked him heavy blow
in the abdomen. He walked to the
house and made himself as comfort
able as possible and stayed alone for
four days before assistance arrived,
suffering intense agony. Arlie Rem
shaw came to the place Sunday and
found Kolesnik, and he was later re-
moved to the home of his parents,
north of Manning.
A physician was summoned, but
complications had set in and nothing
could be done for him. He died on
Monday about the noon hour, but was
conscious and able to tell the facts as
above stated. His death resulted from
acute diffuse peritonitis, caused by a
muscular rupture of the bowels.
Mr.. Hammond felt perfectly safe
In leaving young Kolesnik in charge
OF the place while himself and family
were away for few days, as he was
very intelligent and faithful en-
ployee. The accident happened the
day OF their departure and he was
unable to help himself in any way
until assistance arrived.
Funeral services were held at the
Kolesnik home on Tuesday and the
remains inferred on the homestead.

FOUL PLAY MAY
HAVE CAUSED DEATH

Cogswell, N. D.. Sept. e.--Foul play
is suspected In connection with the
death of the man who was thought to
have been killed under 500 pas
senger near Hanlxinson.
When the report reached here it
was thought the dead man was a To-
cal harvest hand who left that night
for the east. The man went by the
nick name of Dutch. while here and
no one seems to know what his name
was or where he came from. He at
tempted to steal ride on the tender
OF the engine Of Monday nights pas
senger train, but was discovered about
two miles east Of town, and the train
was stopped while he was put OFF. He
returned to town and left Tuesday,
but 1t connat be learned whether he
purchased ticket or not. Win the
heport came that a man had been killed
by the east bound passenger, he was
believed to be the man.
The train men on the west bound
passenger. Tuesday, however, say the
dead man was not riding on the train,
but was lying on the track dead
drunk. or had been killed and placed
there to cover the crime. To sub
stantiate their story they say the
front trucks of the engine was COW
cred with blood. showing the man was
struck by the engine. The strange
part o fthe while affair is the dead
mans head cannot be found. although
a careful search has been made, not
only at Hankihson. but all along the
line.
There was nothing on the dead
mans person leading to identifica-
ton. and the entire matter is shroud-
ed in mystery. The Richland county
coroner is investigating the tragedy.
