At HILLSBORO

Crookston Times: A man giving
the name. of Grant E, Baxter, either
a hop fiend, crazy or just plain and
very smooth crook. managed to hood
wink Leo Baer and County Attorney

er, who is now lying in the county jail

Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock
the stranger entered the Boston
store and inquired If a Mr.. Braaten
had been there asking for him. Leo

tended his hand, gave MI. Baer a fra
ternal grip, and introduced himself
as Grant E. Baxter. He retired to a
corner of the store and gave proper
high signs of a secret order, con-
vincing Mr.. Baer that he was o.. k,
as far as being posted on secret
work was concerned.
Murdered Man to Protect Home.
Baxter CD then told Mr.. Baer that
he was in deep trouble-that the
night before he had discovered a hired
man on his farm near Hillsboro, N.
D., had caused domestic trouble, and
in a rage had hit him over the head
with a milk stool, killing him instant
ly, and then fed to Crookston in a
friends automobile.
All he wanted was that Mr.. Baer
should get him the best attorney he
could to secure a. divorce at once. Mr..
Baer took him to the office of County
Attorney Hagen, where he repeated
his story after making a deal to Sc
cure the divorce and giving Mr. Ha-
gen a check for $3.50 as half payment
for his services.
County Attorney Drew Pictures.

the killing and the county attorney
drew pictures of the hen house, the
barn. the residence and other out
buildings and questioned Baxter
closely as to distance, etc.

Baxter then proposed that last
evening he, Mr.. Baer and Attorney
Hagen get an auto and go to Hills
boro after dark, settle with his wife
for $1,000 or $4,000 so that she would
not fight the divorce case, as he was
not DESTROYS of humiliating his
daughter, who, he claimed, was a
teacher in the Fargo schools.
Mr.. Hagen said the trip must be
postponed till Friday as he had to
go to st. Paul last night and advis-
ed his client to lie low and keep out
of sight till then.
We'll logged Out.

should not engage in advocating legis.

Il have been requested by the legis-

be presented to the legislature by that
body as a complete code of road laws

can consistently do so and remain in
Iany manner officially connected with
the state highway department. | do
not believe that public officials should
become advocates for or against any
Legislation which might affect the du-
ties of their offices. Therefore, since
Il am and have been more interested
in securing results in the good roads
movement than | can possibly be in
ithe flourish of an official title, which
/ think the report of the work of this
