Slosson. nothing loath, clambered
down from the roof of the cabin and

The ceaseless murmur OF the rush.

the keel boat drew nearer the hurry

Kentucklan's pulse quickened. Would
he find the raft there? He glanced
back over the way they had come.
The dark ranks of the forest walled
on the clearing, but across the water
a dim point of light was visible. He
fixed its position as somewhere near
the head of the bayou. Apparently IT
was a lantern, bat as he looked a

Bunker pointed without speaking.

Police TELL GIRL
OF frances Death
Body Of Man Killed 10 Penn
bina Taken to Minneapolis
MAY be Suicide

MINNEAPOLIS, April Palma
Bergwall, who has been looking for
ward to next fall when she was to be
married to John Pearson, was told
by the Minneapolis police tlat her
fiance is dead.
The Minneapolis police have been
Investigating the death of Pearson.
He was killed at Pembina, N. D., last
week. but no details of his death have
been received in Minneapolis. Death
was caused by bullet wound in the
head, and the body was brought here.
Anna Pearson, sister, ordered the
body sent from Pembina.
Pearson was a baker and lived with
Herman Lindberg. According to Lind
berg and Miss Bergwall, he left for
Pembina on the n ght of March ~
and planned to work for six months
on farm in an affort to better his
health. When the police heard of his
death they thought the death might
have some connection with the Alice
Matthews mystery and began an in
vestigation. Miss Bergwall said she
had been with Pearson on the night
of the murder and the police are alb
solutely convinced that Pearson had
no connection with the Matthews
case.
Miss Bergwall 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.

Two Indians Being
HELD FOR MORDER
Sisseton Official Fear Lynch.
ing If Truth Should Be
Known

'SlSSETON, 5. D., April 12.-At the
preliminary hearing of the five In
| dams charged with the murder of the
Judish boy at the farm home east of
this city, the states attorney asked
for the dismissal of the action, so far
as the defendants, Joe Seven Broth
ers, and Joe and Jesse Wicetamaza
are concerned, and the hearing was
held on the information charging Joe
High Bear and Jonah Star only.
The state did not attempt to pre-
sent all of its evidence, but merely
enough to hold the two defendants to
the term of court to be opened on the
third Tuesday in April. 1t was shown
that High Bear sold the shotgun that
was taken from the Judish home at
the time OF the murder and that he
had in his possession the suit Of
Clothes and the revolver owned by
the murdered lad. A pair of SHOES,
identified by members Ct the dead
lads family as belonging to him, were
also introduced in evidence, and the
sheriff testified that they were taken
from High Bear, who was wearing
them in the county Jail up to the day
before the hearing.
Jonah Star accompanied High Bear
at the time of the sale of the shot
gun and is said to have had an inter-
est in the other property. His attor-
neys made vigorous effort to have
him released on the showing Of an
alleged alibd brought out in the evil
dence of an Indian farmer with HON
ne had been staying. Ben Johnson tes-
tifying that Star had been at his house
all day Sunday, and gone to church
with him, and had only been absent
from the Johnson home on the nighst
OF the murder for about an hour and
a half-from $50 in the evening to 8
o'clock, whereas it is known that the
Judish boy was alive at $3.50 Sunday
evening. The magistrate held, how
ever, that the circumstances were SUI
ficient to warratn his detention, and
both High Bear and Star were held
without bail.
The sheriff AID the states attorney
fear that if the truth were clearly
known there would be danger of the
lynching of the defendants. Feeling
in the rural district where the lad
lived at Browns Valley, where his
parents resided the past winter, is
very strong. and great care will be
used in guarding the prisoners.
