Ed. j. Cranfield was formally released
from the county Jail last Saturday, and
the murder of an unknown man here on
July IL, 1910. remains as much mys-
terry as lever. Cranfield. the accused
man. was brought here from Stevenson.
WASH, early in July and was given a
hearing before Justice Folsom: He
claimed he. was working with a bridge
crew ,at Glendive on the day of the muir
der, and proved his statement recently
by q letter written by the timekeeper Of
the crew to that effect.
Cfanfeld says that the letters and
cards, exchanged between himself and
mother in England. found partly burned
near the murdered man. were stolen.

dive containing these articles
State Attorney Murtha concluded
that he had insufficient evidence on
which to 60 to trial and the man was
given his freedom. s@4
Itss.will be remembered how shocked
Dickinson was. on learning Of the brutal
ityHof this murder committed in the
railroad yards over a year ago.. By the
fragments Of letters then found nearby
the victim, it was thought E. J. Gran
field was the murdered man and his
mother IN Bedford. England, was so
inlcrmed Contrary to this.se conclusion
it was learned this summer throuah a
letter he had writer to his mother that
he was alive. The county authorities
Immediately took the matter up and
charged Crantield with the murder. and
Sheriff Wiech and Deputy Dryer went to
Washington and brought him 10 Dickin-

Death TAKES , /
YOUNG man
Garfield Mcneil Dies of Fever.
Leaves Wife and Little
Daughter. Services From
Rooms on Saturday.

After lowering in condition between
life and death for several days, Garfield
McNeill, aged rs years. passed away
Thursday afternoon at o'clock.
Typhoid fever. complicated with
spinal meningitis, caused the death of
one of Dickinson most respected young
citizens, and left grief-stricken wife
and baby to mourn his departure 10
another world.
The case in an advanced stage was
seemingly mild at first. but Mr..
McNeill's constitution was not strong
enough to stand the ravages of this
treacherous disease and the spinal COM
plication. which. setting in early in the
week, made the case hopeless one. in
spite of all that skilled medical aid
could do.
The late Mr.. McNeill came to Dickin-
son about Ave years ago from his home
in Prince Edwards Island. He was
married two years ADO last August to
Miss Isla Russell of Stevens Point,
Wisconsin. at that time teacher with
the Dickinson Business College. Since
his coming here he has been employed
with the Crowl-Schroeder Co., having
charge of the grocery department and in
his death the loss of very efficient
and capable clerk is felt.
Deceased was born at st. Peters Bay.
P. E. l., where his parents reside. He
leaves besides his wife and one year-old
daughter, Ruth. his parents and six
brothers. A brother. Duncan, is
member of the Parker & Co. firm here,
another. brother is. al Athol. Mass,
while the remaining four are with their
parents in Prince Edwards Island.
The services will he held this (Satur-
day. morning at 10 o'clock from the
McNeill fat in the Welton Mcdonald
building, Rev. F. H. Farrand of St.
Paul's Methodist church officiating. and
the mortal remains of Garfield McNeill
will probably be laid at rest in the
Dickinson cemetery.
Mr.. McNeill was member Of the
Christian church in the east. He was
also member of the local A. o. U. W.
lodge, in which order he carried insur-
ance amounting to $1,000.
The entire city bows in sadness with
the young wife and child and with the
only brother here as we'll as relatives in
the far East.

pAsTEuR Treatment FOR
DOG BITTEN CHILDREN

Cashier J. j. Murphy of the Security
State bank at New England made a
record breaking automobile trip to Dick
lnson last Sunday with Mrs. Charles
Waneh and her two children, nine
year-old daughter and a seven-year-old
son, who were hurryine with all possible
speed to Grand Forks to get the Pasteur
treatment for the children who were
bitten by dog with rabies.
The family reside 20 miles south of
New England and the mother took the
children to town at once. first killing
the dog which came along to their place
a short time before. Treatment ives
secured at New England, and the head
of the dog was Immediately sent to the
public health laboratory of the Univer-
sity at Grand Forks.
The receipt of a teleera am from that
place announcing that the head of the
dog revealed unmistakable signs of
rabies, caused the hasty trip. However,
it was learned on arrival there on Mon
day that treatment could not he started
until the arrival of the toxin from
Washington. D. c., on Wednesday. @
The telegram was received Sunday
morning and the anxious mother secured
the services of Mr.. Murphy, before he
had eaten breakfast. and he came to
Dickinson in IS minutes, reaching here
just in time to catch No. 8, leaving for
the east at 9 O'Clock. The roads were
unusually bad too, following the heavy
rains.
Dr.. CT. Ruediger of the public health
laboratory stated that there was gen.
eral impression that infection in cases
of that nature demand the greatest
haste. However, the treatment requires
only about three weeks, while, as a rule,
it takes six weeks for the disease to
break out.
In the Wanek case it seems that the
public health laboratory which gives the
Pasteur treatment wired the parents that
the children should be treated. asking
what time they could come. Instead of
replying the children were Immediately
hurried to Grand Forks. arriving two
days before the arrival of the toxin.
The developments in these two cases
will be watched with great deal of
interest. 1t is understood that the girl
was bitten quite badly while the boy
merely had few scratches on one hand.

Telephone
BUY N. Line
Dickinson Distributing Point for
N. D. Independent Telephone
Go. Which Has Acquired
All South Lines.

The North Dakota. Independent Tele-
phone Co. has purch ased the Dakota
Telephone Co.. properties, known to many
as the Richards line, and has q crew Of
workmen repairing and putting the prop
erty in first-class shape.
This toll line north covers distance
Of seventy-five miles, including the
branch west from Camels butte to New
Hradec and east from the Mike johnson
place to Manning. thence to Rockspring.
Emerson. heretofore left about mile
off the line, will be connected. This
will enable Dickinson people to get good
toll service with about all the Dunn
county towns.
It may not be generally known. but
the N. D. Ind. Tel. Co. has strung a new
copper circuit from Mandan to Mott on
the N. P. south branch. thence west to
New England over the Milwaukee
branch. having acquired the interests
of the Dakota Montana Co. lines in the
territory mentioned. This gives Dickin-
son direct toll line connection with the
country south, practically cutting in two
the former rates in use. For instance.
before the change. parties who talked
with Mott people had to pay for service
over two lines and q double fee was the
result. Today. Dickinson can be con.
nected direct with any of the towns
south, and the charge. as stated, is
about half the former price.
The N. D. Ind. Tel. Co. has owned the
lire from Dickinson to New ENGLAND fol-
some time and Dickinson is made head
quarters for the company's properties
west of the Missouri river. This is nat.
utal.as this city is about the eeoeraphi.
cal center of Western North Dakota.
Besides, the exchange at Dickinson i.
the best west of the river end the equa
of any in the state. the company already
having something like $50, 700 invested
here. It puts additional work ant
responsibility upon M. E.. Hall, loca
manager, who has more or less Of tht
supervision of the lines both north ant
south, as we'll as east and west.
The new copper line on the brancf
south helps to keep the main lint
between Dickinson and Bismarck cleal
and in this way greatly improves thu
general service.
The coming year the N. D. Ind. Tel.
Co. will make further improvements in
their service. connecting new towns.
keeping up their policy Of getting com.
munication with every town and post.
