BRAVE VICTIM RATTLED IN VAIN
TO SAVE HER HONOR AND.

~ THE MAN WHO HAD BE-

Nit 4polis, Mimi. March 25.-A-
though fifteen Minneapolis sleuths have
been running down clues to the mys-
terious killing Of Alice Matthews late
Saturday night, the mystery seems to
be no nearer solution than it was yes
terday morning, when the body was
found near her home.
The girl was strangled to death. The
body bore evidences Of terrible strug-
gle. in which Miss Matthews is be-
lieved to have battled vainly for her
honor.
The girl left her home early in the
evening to join other young friends in
a small theatre party. After the play.
it is said, she concluded to return to
her home.
1t has been reported that Miss Mat
thews met and talked with a young
man ON the car home, and that they
left the car together. There are re-
ports of quarrel on the sidewalk near
the Matthews home, between man
and a woman and it is said that the
screams Of a woman were heard.

hAnSO I1AS gill bIlOy uO 4AOL 4IlIlIIldLe9 lts
Mrs. G. w. Tibbith, who found the
body OF Miss Matthews, said she called
UP police headquarters twice and asked
that policeman be sent to ascertain
what the trouble was. She said she
saw two figures on the street and there
appeared to be an argument, but she
thought it a drunken row. Later she
heard the screams. Henry Matthews,
father Of the murdered girl, foreman
of a city sewer gang, could venture
no theory that might assist the de-
tectives In their search for the slayer.
He said he did not expect the girl
home, else he would have been sitting
UP waiting for her. He heard nothing
OF his daughters agonizing screams.
He was sleeping soundly he said, while
the fatal attack was made upon her.
He declared the girl had no male
friends, and said he had often told his
daughter II there ever was su1tor,
she should bring him to the house.

BEN watts IS 81.
SOUGHT BY SON

Minot, n. d, March 25.y--Hoping ID
find some trace Of bis long lost father,
John A. Watts, Of Sioux City, Ia. has
written to President Halvorson OF this
city, requesting him to find. II possible,
some trace Of Ben Watts. .r
According to Young Watts letter,
he has not seen his father for nearly
twenty years. He says he came to
Minot and that he filed on q home
Etead about forty miles southwest of
this city, but aside from Ghat knows
little or nothing about him. He de-
scribes him as tall, being about six
feet in height, with dark eyes, prob
ably gray hri ir, one eye little crook
ed, and says he used to wear q light
mustache. He gives his age as Sc or
81 years, and says he sed to be fant-
liarly known as big Dan."
The young man writes that he
heard that a man by that name died
in this city last winter and has asked
the authorities here to find out II it
could have been his father. The let
ter is a very pathetic appeal and
ther appears to be no breech between
himself and the other members Of the
family. The young man is very anx-
ious to find some trace OF him and
If he is still alive would try to per-
suade him to return to his old home
in Iowa ANY information that any
one may have concerning Ben Watts
should be communicated at once to
President Halvorson or to John A.

Bangs Says SkulaSOn Called
Kelly a - Liar
MAKES OTHER SHARP CRACKS
WERE GENERAL MILLER AND
ATTORNEY sKuLAsoN ASLEEP
OR DID THEY FORGET EVERY
THING THEY EVER KNEW Z
QUESTION ASKED BY BANGS.

Atty. Tracy Bangs ripped over some
hot shots in arguing before the jury
in the Sperry case today.
Were Attorney General Miller and
Attorney Skulason panic stricken or
did they forget everything they ever
knew?" was one Of the questions he
hurled at the jury. This question came
up when he was discussing the argu-.
ment made by Skulason regarding Jim
Miller,
'Mr. Skulason asked why the state
didn't put Jim Miller on the stand"
said Mr.. Bangs. "Jim Miller was on
the stand. What was the matter with
the attorneys for the state that they
didn't take advantage Of him If he was
such a valuable witness for them?"
That Attorney Sl1ulason called At
torney Kelly a -- liar was another
statement by Bangs.
I'm his address to you gentlemen on
Saturday." said Mr.. Bangs" Attorney
Skulason said that You are bound to
believe the testimony Of Fred Swan
SON. Now why are you bound to be-
lieve the testimony OF Swanson any
more than you are bound. to believe
the testimony Of any other witness?
1t goes to show the disposition OF At
torney Slxulason that when Attorney
Kelly took exception to his argument
regarding Fred Swanson that he called
Kelly a - liar."
Attorney Kelly laid the foundation
for the argument for the defense this
morning and Mr., Bangs started his
argument at 1880 this afternoon. At
torney General Miller will close the
argument for the state and the case
will then go to the jury,
AT late hour this afternoon 1t
looked as If the case might go over
until tomorrow.

HAVE MONOPOLY

Counsel Pierce Butler Of st. Paul
took up the final argument Of the
government today in the trial OF the
ten Chicago packers, who since Dec.
6, 1911, have been before a jury in the
United States district court to answer
the charge of having maintained a
combination in the restraint of trade
in violation Of the criminal provis-
ons the Sherman antitrust law
The hearing was resumed after a
three days delay on account OF the
illness Of juror.
The substance Of the argument Of
Butler was the contention that Ar
mour g. Co., Swift g. Co. and Morris

monopoly of the meat business OF the
country as when their proposed ST.
600, 100000 combination had been
launched In 1902. ~

Washington, March 25.-Real battle
in the senate chamber over the ques-
ton Of the right of Stephenson of
Wisconsin to his seat, opened today
with a programme OF speeches that
may hold back the final vote until the
middle of the week. The senate is
under requirement oy an order passed
several days ago, to vote on this "leg-
islatiYe day. but this parliamentary
phrase may cover any number Of days.
This case is one of two in 'shicn
republican senators have been under
fire for alleged use OF corruption
funds in the work that brought about
their election. the other being that CT
Lorimer of Illinois still pending in
the election committee.
During the investigation Stephen
son admitted 100000 had been ex-
pended by him for election purposes,
but insisted that all of it was spen:
in legitimate ways. ..
The senate investigation of his case
was conducted by q substitute cleo
tions committee headed by Hepburn
Of Idaho. and the full elections COM
mittee report accompanied by reso-
luton, declared his election valid.
This resolution is pending along with
the minority resolutions offered by

enson mot duly and legally elected to
the senate"
Jones' resolution was framed by the
anti-Stephenson forces as substitute
for the committee resolution of exon
Grafton and will be voted on first. Only
a majority vote is necessary to pass
either resolution although it would
take two thirds vote actually to de-
prive the senator of his seat.

may have helped crystalize the senti-
ment. but the people of North Dakota
won the fight"
sit was great victory. If the
weather conditions had been good the
LaFollette majority would have been
doubled The result was no surprise
to me. I knew North Dakota was for
LaFollette. If he and his friends
could work in other states as they
did in North Dakota, LaFonette would

In Cass county alone during the last

This was something I didn't realize
myself" said Fred A. Irish. cashier OF

the Cass county bank deposits amounts
