Glendale. n. D.. March 18.-Frank
DUNCAN. charged with tho murder of
James Cole. whom he shot and killed
in cold blood. may never be brought
into a criminal court to a he
charge. but may. instead, be placed
behind the walls of h asylum for
the insane at Jamestown. where his
wife already is IN inmate. Within
less than trhee weeks from the time
his wife had been examined and com
mitted to the asylum. DUNCAN had
committed the murder with which he
is now charged, and the result OF
which he probably will be found to
be insane also.
Since he has been confined in the
county Jail here. DUNCAN has eaten
very little. However, he sleeps a great
deal, and spends many hours each day
in his cell, sound asleep. He refuses
absolutely to discuss the shooting af-
fair.
DUNCAN has lived in this district

ing from time to time for farmers in
that section. but failing to stay at any
position for any length Of TIME. His
victim, Cole. had been here only about
seven months.
Cole was not of a quarrelsome dis
position. and the same is true of Dun
gan, who had not been mixed up in
any trouble previous to the killing
episode.
DUNCAN. it is believed. had worried
greatly over his wife's condition. and
her insanity is looked upon as the
probable cause of his trouble.

LAKE WANTS GOOD
ROAD CAMPAIGN
Movement Launched by
Commercial Club Favoring
General Improvement

Devils Lake. N. D.. March 1S.-A
good roads movement was launched
at a meeting of the board of directors
of the Devils Lake Commercial club
when the good roads committee made
a report. While 1t is too early to start
active work in lettering roads of Ram
sey county. 1t is proposed to perfect a
working organization and outline u
plan that can be put in effect with the
first spring breakup.
One plan that is suggested is to pur-
chase a gas tractor to be actively oper-
ated during the entire summer season
on all a leading to Devils Lake,
radiating a distance of twenty-five
miles. BY hooking a couple Of road
'rags behind a tractor, it is claimed
;hat the thoroughfares can be kept in
Very good condition. This was fully
dome on the roads between Bartlett
md Churchs Ferry in preparation for
the twin city to Helena automobile
tour. There was a great Improvement
shown with the slight amount of work
put on.
1t is sugge L that during wet
weather when it would not be practi-
cal to run road drags. that the tractor
could be used to very good advantage
~ uooiliis grave 10 the low places;
hooking three or four dump wagons
behind the engine.
Just what plan will be adopted
makes little difference to the good
roads enthusiast. That there is room
for a great amount of Improvement ia
acknowledged by all. Any feasible
plan which will bring a better condi-
ton. will meet with the hearty sup
port Of every business man of Devils
Lake and every farmer in Ramsey
county.
