Reputation In Community
AWFUL ACT WAS PREMEDITATED
The Revolver was Bought a,

Preceding Tragedy +.

Lansford, N. D., April 9. -
George Wilson, one Of the
wealthiest and most prosper
Gus farmers in this vicinity,
Monday night shot his sister-in-
law, Miss Clara Kruse, inflict-
ing injuries on her which caus-
ed her death at II o'clock this
morning, and then suicided in
a nearby field.
Insane jealousy of the girl is
given as the reason for Will
sons rash act. Miss Kruse
had been living at the Wilson
home for some time past and
Monday evening the two met
in the house and had some hot
words. Wilson then drew a
revolver he had purchased in
Lansford that afternoon and
shot her in the back four times.
all of the bullets penetrating
her lungs and inlicting the
fatal injuries. Before dying
the injured girl made a state
ment to the effect that it was
jealousy on the part of Wilson
that caused him to shoot her.
Immediately after firing the
shots Wilson left the house
without coat, vest or cap, and
this afternoon he was found
dead about three quarters of a
mile from his home, a bullet
wound in the head and another
in the breast. After shooting
Miss Kruse, Wilson stated that
he was going to take strych-
nine, he having purchased some
in Lansford, and suicide in
that way.
Sheriff Wilcox and his assist
ants hunted the biggest part of
the day in looking for Wilson.
His wife was in the barn milk
ing cow when the shooting
occurred and his daughter was
also nearby and heard the
shots. Coroner A, Knutson of
Glenburn conducted an inquest
at the Wilson home this after
noon.
Wilson. who is about 40 years
old was always law abiding
citizen and had an excellent
reputation throughout t III e
community. The murder and
suicide was decided shock to
the many who knew him, and
the general opinion is that he
was temporarily insane at the
time Of the shooting.

To say our little town and surround

aroused to a high state Of excitement
does not express our feelings over the
killing of one of our citizens, c. J.
Proctor, by his son, Gilbert.
Sheriff Galloway and our much re-
spected citizen, F. NJ. Harp, with their
untiring efforts and good Judgment
gained all evidence necessary to con-
Wet the son of one of the most heinous
crimes ever committed in this commun-
ity. 1t is a blow to US that such a
crime could have happened among us.
for We believe that we have the most
social and law abiding citizens of any
community.
l would say that all fathers and
mothers should take this to heart and
if any fathers are not constant COM
panions with their sons they should
be and should go to preaching and
Sunday school with them. If the boys
could all get the love of Christ instill-
ed into their hearts when they begin
