SUICIDE May Be
The SOLUTION
INpicATIoN AFSAAT MAN
FOUND an RESERVOIR At
DIES Laos KILLED SELF,

Minot, N. D.. Nov. 29.-That the man
whose body was found in the Great
Northern reservoir at Des Laos, COM
mitted suicide by drowning is the
opinion of Judge VIM. Murray and the
other authorities who investigated the
matter. No marks of. violence were
found on the body and the fact that
the mans hat was found carefully
folded up beneath the bib of his over
alls led Mr.. Murray to form the opinion
that the dead man had arranged this
order that his hat might not be found
and an investigation started. MI.
Murray advances the theory that the
mar probably did not want his body.
found until in the spring.
. The gruesOme discovery was made
by Joe Donnell, the Great Northern
operator at Des Laos, and w. e. Zim-
norman. Several inches of ice had
formed owe the surface of the reser-
voir n Donnell and Zimmerman had
been skating for some little time
when Zimmerman remarked that he
saw a fish under the ice and while
returning to see IL he could. find it
again he saw the mans dead body.
DonnelPs attention was called to the
discovery and the two men notified
Judge Murray, who, together with
Deputy sheriff Dan Dougherty, left at
nce for Des Laos.
The appearance and condition of
the body and clothing would indicate
that the man had not been in the
water for over three or four days.
There was nothing in the pockets nor
any marks on the clothing that would
lead to the mans Identification. Fiji
teen cents in change, a jackknife and
a cheap watch were all the personal
effects found in the mans clothing.
The dead man measured about five
feet eight inches in height and weigh
ed from 100 to 200 pounds. His hair
was dark brown and hel wore a long
mustache, red in color.
The man Wor a pair of overaIls
over heavy duck trousers and a heavy
corduroy coat. The clothing was all
badly worn and grain found in the
pockets. indicated that the man had
been working on threshing crews or
in the harvest fields. No one at Des
Laos recognized the dead man and 1t
is apparent that he was a total
stranger in that locality. The au-
thorities are of the opinion that the
man worked here ais a laborer. They
are very anxious that the remains
should be identified il possible and
anyone wishing to may visit Rowan's
undertaking parlors and any informa-
ton they can furnish the authorities
will he very welcome.

He was accompanied on the latter
stages of his journey by Lucien Ger
laux and William Moorehead, both or
whom have been dead for many years.
For several years he worked for the
Hudson Bay Co, under the cher
factor, Kennedy, carrying goods to the
Chippewas.
In 1851, he was employed on the
first Red river steamboat, the Arson
Northrup, and during the winter car
ried goods for the Hudson Bay Co.
to Rosseau Lake, MINI. During
the Sioux outbreak in 1862 he acted
as a guide for parties travelling be-
tween Pembina and st. Paul, and was
never attacked by the Sioux. owing to
the Canadian flag, which he always
carried nailed to his Red river cart.
In 1866 he moved to Grand Forks
and the following year, while hunting,
he saw the last large herd of buffalo
in the region abou Pembina. After
this year the hunters had to seek buff
falo much further west. In 1S71-72 he
kept a stage station at Kelly's Point
and Acton on the Winnipeg, Brecken-
ridge and Moorhead stage line, He
was one of the early farmers and Is
said to have been the first owner or
a threshing rig in Walsh county, hav-
ing purchased a horsepower machine
during the 70's.
He was a man of splendid physique
and in the old wild days Of the long
ago was a famous hunter. His mem
DRY was excellent and he was able to
recount many of the early experiences
Of the old settlers, but unfortunately
for posterity these facts in the history
of our state. were not recorded and
have been forgotten.
~ He was a member of the Catholic
church and lived a good life. His wife
died about twelve years ago, since
which time he has made his home with
his son. He is survived by four chill
dren, William of Fork, Mimi, John of
winnipeg, Manitoba, Mrs. Hannah
NORM of Martin township, and Mrs.
Mary Carpenter of Vassar, Manitoba.
The funeral occurred Monday morn
ing at 10 o'clock from the Catholic
church, Father Turcotte officiating,

Divide COUNTY
4 BATTLE Still ON

Minot, N. D., Nov. 29.-The battle
over the location of the county seat
of Divide county does not appear to
be settled even yet, according to re-
ports which reached here today from
Crosby, where there is a warm fight on
the ~canvassing of the returns Of the
last general election.
1t appears that under the law the
county auditor has the right to call in
a majority of the county commission
ers to assist him in canVassing cleo
ton returns, or he may call in the
county treasurer, the county judge and
one commissioner to act as such
board. In the event hat he was q
candidate for office at the election the
auditor simply acts as clerk Of the
board and if any of the members Of
the board were candidates the re-
naming members may call in a JUS
tice of the peace to act as a mem
Der of the board.
1t seems that the members of the
board who were able to qualify as a
c~anVassinR board were unable to agree
Upon the third man and had been in

ton from X. e. Leighton of this city,

In the meantime a number of Crosby
residents gathered at the courthouse,
locked the doors and refused to allow

OF
HAIL INSURANCE
WILL Be PROBEb

Bismarck, N. D.. Nov. 29.-Some Of
the county commissioners in the state
will not be paid for work done in ad-
justing hail insurance under the state
hail insurance department until there
has been a probe into the name in
which the work has been done. The
commissioner Of agriculture and labor
who has charge of that department
seems to think that some Of the bills
rendered are out of proportion to the
work done. While the department is
not making any names public they
state that one of the commissioners
in a county in this state was par
ticularly thrifty. He has vouchers on
file for five policies adjusted in one
day and he also travelled 1853 miles in
one day adjusting these losses, while
about twenty miles would cover all
the distance separating the five losses.
At the same time this commissioner
drew IS per diem for acting as coun-
ty commissioner, but he will not be
paid the amount he demands in the
vouchers.
In another county there is a case
of two adjustments where the hail
struck on the same day and the farms
are not over three miles apart. The
original ~afidavits show two days time
anu llllcly lllASS NldNSl SdCll udys ih6
department has a letter from one of
the farmers who had a loss and the
following is an abstract from his
letter: Yes, sir, it was adjusted on
the same day, as l went along with
the adjuster to show him the road,
and I had to pay SO in cash for auto
hire, too. this is the first time I was
ever obliged to pay for the adjuster
coming around in case Of a loss by
hail" The letter from which the above
is an extract was accompanied by an
affidavit stating the two losses were
adjusted on the same day and that
the farmer was made to pay $40 for
auto hire.
These are only two of several cases
that have come to the attention Of the
hail insurance department. Many cases
were cited where the commissioners
went under the basis that it took one
day to adjust each loss. The hail in
surance department promises there will
be some disclosures shortly and that
prosecutions will be started against
some of the commissioners.

NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST
TUBERCULOSIS
SANITARIUM
opens DEC. |

Dunseith, N. D., Nov. 29.-The North
Dakota tuberculosis s~anitartum will be
opened officially for the reception of
patients on Dec. 1 of the present year.
It Is not expected that there will be
accommodation for all applications but
those in charge will do everything
possible to take care of those commit
ted to their care.
DR.. J. p. Widmeyer has been ap-
pointed superintendent and will pass
Eon all applications. The charges have
been placed at$1.50 per day. This is pro-
vtsional as the law provides that patti
ents snail pay the cost of their rnainten-
ance. After the sanitartum has been
running for some time exact data on
this point will be available.
The county superintendents of
health Of the several counties together
with h medical members Of the board
OF trustees have been appointed ex-
aminers. Applicants for admission
should apply to either of these, receive
an examination and have all blanks
sent to the superintendent at Dunseith,
N. D. Upon approval they will be
duly notified as to when they can be
admitted. Application blanks contain
explicit directions for the guidance Of
patients.
On account of the limited appropria-
tlon the q has a to economize
in every detail, but they were all
actuated by the wish to make the best
use possible of available funds. The
result in this finished product, prob
ably will appeal to every unprejudic-
ed person in this light. There is not
to u knowledge a shoddy part in the
whole outfit. With the small amount
that was given for equipment much
is left for the future to remedy.
Friends of the work everywhere will
be pleased to know that a right start
has been made. 1t is the peoples in
stitution. 1t is theirs to use, and we
have every confidence that its future
will be amply provided for. =.
