next fall when she was to be married
to John Pearson, 1921 Eighth street

Fifth street S, followed Pearson 3
body to grave in Layman s cemetery.
Pearson was baker. He lived with
Herman Lindberg at 1921 Eighth street
S. According to Lindberg and Miss
Bergwall he left for Pembina ON the
night of March 81 and planned to
work for six months on a farm in an
effort to better his health. When the
police heard of his death they thought
the death might have some connection
with the Alice Matthews murder mys-
terry and began an investigation. To.
day Miss Bcrgwall said she had been
with Pearson on THE night of the
murder and the police are absolutely
convinced that Pearson had no con.
nection with the Matthews case.
Miss Bergwell says she became en-
gagged to Pearson on the night he left
for Pembina. He was in poor health
and his friends say that if he took
his life, i'll health was the cause.

MEETING OF OFFICIAL BOARD
WILL BE HELD THURSDAY
TO DISCUSS PLANS.

There is every reason to believe that
the Westminster Presbyterian church
will erect beautiful new church edi.
fee and special meeting Of the official
board of the church will be held next
Thursday night to decide definitely on
the matter.
Rev. Torbett, since coming to the
city, has enjoyed large congregation
and the church which has served 50
well during past years is now becoming
too small to accommodate those who
would attend if conditions were diff.
ferent.
The finances Of the church are in
the best condition they have ever been
and prospects for raising the funds at
thu present time are exceedingly good.

THE KRUS TRAGEDY.
Wilson Killed Miss Krus Upon Her
Return From Dance.

Lansford, N. D., April ia few
more details are at hand regarding
the murder of Miss Clara Kruse, Of
Lansford, by her jealous brother-in-law,
Geo. Wilson, and Of his suicide. The
facts in brief are, according to reports:
Friday night Miss Krus went to the
home of A. B. Williams, neighbor,
to attend dancing party. She knew
that there would be trouble when she
went home and decided to remain at
the Williams home for couple Of
days. She remained there Saturday,
Sunday and Monday, returning to her
home Monday evening. One of the
Williams boys drove her home. Miss
Kruse wanted the Williams boy to let
her out of the carriage about a half
mile from the home, stating that Will
son might make trouble for her es-
cort. The Williams boy, however, said
that he was not afraid, and he drove
the girl up to the Wilson home. Just
as Williams was about to turn around
! and start for home, he heard gun
shot, followed by three others, and he
guessed the tragedy. He whipped his
horses and hurried home as fast as he
could go.
It is thought that Wilson shot the
girl as she entered the house. he had
been brooding over the girls disap-
pearance and had decided to have the
matter settled on her return. He had
two revolvers in the house, and pick
ing up one of these, fred as she enter
ed the residence. The first shot was
followed by three others and the girl
fell. Wilson sent his daughter, aged
ten years, over to the neighbors to tell
them what lie had done. His wife,
who was milking, came in and saw the
| body of her sister on the floor. Will
son told his wife what he had done,
and asked her for some poison. Mrs.
Wilson, who was nearly Frustrated
from the tragedy, refused to furnish
the poison, and Wilson started across
the fields with the gun with which he
had killed the girl.
The sheriff with his assistants found
the body in field with bullet
through the head and another through
the heart.

and everybody attempting to put their
lawns in condition, the deliverymen

be willing to use the sidewalks from

During the winter while the ground

it did not matter where the walking
was done, but now with the green
grass appearing and the soil damp,
the regular tracks of the newsboy or
the deliveryman leaves trail that
kills the grass and spoils the looks

TRAVELLING MEN WILL BATTLE
ROYAL FOR HoNoRs BETWEEN
FATS AND LEANS.

Next Sunday will be gala day be-
tween the baseball champions of the
knights of the grip when the big trav-
cling men and the little fellows will
meet on the battle field to fight fin
ish battle for baseball honors.
Much boasting was done yesterday
at the Great Northern as to the pos.
sibility of fat man playing ball. This
statement has aroused the mighty
wrath of one L. G. Walstrom, who will
head the fat mems delegation and
pick out team to send the most dead.
ly defeat into the snobbish leaners
who have lived all their lives on the
anticipation of square meal.
"Why, rail can't play. ball,o de.
clared Walstrom. "Some of these
would-be travelling men who pretend to
be ball players don't even know how
to root when they see good game
Why, would hate to play in team
with lean man in it. You wouldn It be
able to see him to get the ball neal
enough for him to catch it.''
On the other side the leans fgur.
they havve an obstacle to meet and
that is you cant throw ball through
fat man. It is probable that witt
such fellows as Alex Watson Medium
Cilly and Marshal Field on the lea.
team they will not be as slow as the
fat manager would try to make them
out.
Some talk was made as to making
Manager Mayer of the hotel umpire Of
the game but his size barred him as il
also did the clerk, Flint, for he alst
is heavyweight. Night Clerk Howe
was thought Of but as he works nights
his eyes would not be accustomed *

At any rate there will be big GAM
next Sunday between the leans ant
fats and besides the town people whe
will witness the game there will bi
more travellers here also.
There is some talk of running ar
excursion to the lake next Sunday AM
if this is the case the game will in al
probability be played there. Every
