SHERMAN'S BODY FOUND
Remains Of Missing Whitefsh Man
Discovered on Road Near Hay
Greek School House.
HAD BEEN A CAMP COOK

Wniteflsh Junction, Aug. 12.-
Especial to the Pioneer body
of "Billy" Sherman, who had been
missing since he left here Aug. 5, was
found Saturday near the Hay Creek
school house short distance from
here. Sherman had evidently been
dead for some time as the body was
badly disco1ored -
Coroner Ibertson was at once noti-
fed and came here yesterday to hold
an inquest. The jury, which consist
ed of S. j. Dietl, G. H. Williams, Ar
thur Glidden, Andrew Edmunds, G. R.
Dietl, and Daniel Glidden, decided
that Sherman came to his death as
result of receiving a rifle ball in the
head. The body was buried at once.
Those who saw the body when
found say that it was near the road
and that 1880 rifle lay across his
left arm with the barrel pointing to-
ward his head. AS Sherman was left
handed, this was thought by some to
indicate that he committed suicide al
though the jury did not so decide.
The head was badly torn by the ball.
Sherman was camp cook and had
been working at the road camp of A.
P. Reeves. He left here week ago
Saturday and when he did not appear
at camp, a search was started. His
money and watch were found on the
body but quart of whiskey which he
had when leaving here was gone.

MANY ATTEND FUNERAL
Services for Norman Helmer Held Be-
fore Audience Which Taxed Ca
pacity Of City Hall.
LAID IN VAULT AT GREENWOOD

Saying that Norman Helmer died
doing his duty and that he was a
fearless officer, E. E. Mcdonald eulo-
gized Helmer Sunday afternoon to a
crowd that filed the city hall to its
utmost capacity. Hundreds of peo-
PIE gathered at 2 o'clock to pay their
last respects to the dead man, many
coming from surrounding towns.
The funeral was unique in Bemidji
history. The hall could not accom-
modate the people who wished to hear
the ceremonies. The procession to
Greenwood cemetery was more than
three blocks in length and the auto
mobiles which went to the cemetery
made a procession of their own. Hell
mer was looked upon as a public ser
want and the public attended the fun
eral.
The services were opened with the
singing Of "Asleep in Jesus" by a
mixed quartet composed of Mrs. H.
P. Dunning, Mrs. Charles Borchardt,
P. A. Young and w. z. Robinson. Rev
erend Flesher read a prayer and then
a male. quartet composed of Joe An
derson, w. z. Robinson, S. j. Harvey,
and P. A. Young sang "Home at last. -
After the singing, Reverend Flesh
er said that Mr. Mcdonald would de-
liver the eulogy but that he knew
Norman Helmer had host of friends
in the community as it was proved
by the large number present. Rev
erend Flesher spoke of the position
Helmer occupied in the community
and praised him for his fearlessness.
He then INTRODUCED Mr.. Mcdonald.
Mr.. Mcdonald recounted Helmer's
life history from his early days until
the time of his death. He said that
few people realize the part played by
minor officials in public life. Bust
ness goes on peacefully day after day
without thought of the officers con-
stantly on guard to see that the best
interests of the commonwealth are
protected. He said that no matter
how small the Office held, the holder
is always in danger of his life.
As soon as Mr.. Mcdonald had COM
pleted his address, the casket was
moved to the rear of the hall and each
person present had an opportunity to
glance for the last time at Helmer's
face. While the hall was being emp.
tied, Miss Ruth Wightman played
Bethoyen's funeral march.
The body was taken directly from
the city hall to Greenwood where il
was laid in the vault.

SEVEN KILLED IN

By United Press.

by United Press.
Sing Sing, N. Y, Aug. 12.-Seven
men were electrocuted in Sing Sing
prison here today. Five of the men
were members of the band OF Italian
Ihighwaymen and murderers who ter
rorized the Croton lake district in
Weschester county year ago. One
man. John w. Collins, is negro who
killed policeman while insanely
drunk. The seventh man is Joseph
Ferrone who cut his wife's throat
because she refused to live a life of
shame and give him her earnings.
This is the largest number of per-
sons ever electrocuted in one place
at one time. The stencil from scorch-
ing hair proved a terrible strain on
the prison officials. Scientists were
given the brains Of the dead men for
research purposes.
The crime for which the Italians
are to pay the death penalty was the
murder OF Mrs. Henry Hall, the
young wife of superintendent of
the aqueduct near Croton Lake. On
November 9 of last year Mrs. Hall
was attacked and robbed by half
dozen Italians who entered her cot
tage while her husband was at work
mile away. She was stabbed twice.
one wound being near the heart.
The young woman, bride of few
months, was in delicate. health and
was in care of young woman nurse.
who was also beaten and kicked. but
who recovered sufficiently to run to
the construction camp and spread the
alarm. , ( ..-,~
+. A posse of sheriffs, farmers and la
borers took up the chase and succeed
ed in capturing five of the Italians
who had participated in the diaboli-a
cal crime A sixth member, Loren
20 Coli, said to have been the leader
OF the gang, was arrested in Brook
Ign a few days later. Coli confessed
to having been the actually murder
er OF Mrs. Hall. He was given
separate trial and was convicted and
executed several weeks ago.
