Irish TOMMY" SQUAW
MAN CONFESSES KILLING
ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY SECURES
SIGNED STATEMENT THAT He
SHOT NARCELLE.

Thomas Condor. squaw man,
who resides on. Cherry creek with
in the boundaries of the Cheyenne
reservation. and known in that
section as Irish Tommy is the
man who murdered Joe Narcelle,
the wealthy half breed near Dupree
recently. w. E. Denmark, district
U. S. attorney, secured written
confession, signed by the latter at
the hearing last week in which he
declares himself the murderer and
tells the story of it.
The Indians of the Cheyenne res
ervation held fair at Dupree re-
Gently. Irish Tommy, Morris Mo-
ress, Babe LaPlant and others OBJ
tanned a quantity Of whisky and
set up headquarters on the allot-
ment of F. Brown. two miles west
Of Dupree. Joe Narcelle went there
in the afternoon and got some OF
the whisky. He left the place but
soon returned and wanted more
whisky. He and Irish Tommy got
into quarrel over horse and
some money which Tommy owed
to Narcelle. Narcelle was refused
the whisky and he told Irish Tom
my that if he didn't give it to him
he would tell the authorities, that
he was selling whisky. Tommy
entered the house and obtained
Browns shotgun. He came out
and shot Narcelle while he was on
horseback and unarmed.
The shot only wounded the man
and the horse started to run. Al
ter he had went about 300 yards
from the house, Narcelle fell from
the saddle and from indications it
is supposed he died sometime that
night. Irish Tommy staid at the
Brown house that night and next
morning left for his home on Cher
ry creek, 80 miles distant, accom-
panied by Moress. After reaching
home, his son brought in the horse
which was ridden by Narcelle and
Tommy turned to Moress and re-
marked. Il guess | got him all
right. Dead birds tell no tales
There were several persons who
claim to have heard the sounds of
the shooting but as far as can be
learned there were no eye, witness
es to the affair. Moress states
that he was about 40 yards distant
when he reached the house, no one
but Irish Tommy was in sight and
that nothing was said OF the hap
penings until the next morning.
The man Brown who owns the
house where the quarrel occurred,
declares that he was 100 yards
away, that he heard the shot but
also saw nothing.
Morris Moress was also bound
over to the federal court and along
with Irish Tommy was brought to
Aberdeen and placed in Jail. He is
being held as witness in the muir
der case and also for introducing
liquor on the reservation. His
bonds are set at $500. The pre-
liminary hearing in both cases was
held before Thomas p. Nelson.
United States commissioner at Du-
pree last Thursday night. Both
men will be tried in Aberdeen at
the November term of court.

Towner County Farmers Believe in
h Single Idea.
Cando. N. D., April Farmers of
Zion township, this county. believe
In the single tax idea. as is evidenced
by the following resolutions:
We. he undersigned. having been
duly appointed by the unanimous vote
at the annual township meeting, a
committee to compose resolutions ia
Voring a single tax law and to have
copy of same published for the. bene-
mt and consideration of taxpayers in
various localities, do hereby submit
the following resolutions:
Whereas. it appears to be self evil
dent that the increase of farm values
are In a large measure due to DIVERSE
fed farming and improvement Of
farm homes, and under the present
system Of taxation. land owners, who
neither improve their lands nor d.
versify by stock farming. share these
Increased values on an equal basis
with those who do diversity, and i'm
prove their farm homes. Whereas,
a single tax is a tax upon land values
irrespective of improvements made
upon tina land. It will thus be seen
tina a single tax. Is a tax not in pro-
portion to the use or improvements,
but in proportion to the value of the
bare land itself. And again as it APP
pears by the single system. the ex-
pense Of assessing. equalizing. station
cry. etc., would be materially lessened.
we therefore favor a chance from our
present system of taxation in that Of
a single tax system.
Now. therefore. be 1t resolved, that
the taxpayers of farm homes and
lands agitate this proposition, create
sentiment, and urge by petition or
otherwise the state legislature Of
North Dakota in the winter Of 1918.
through the medium of their respec.
tive representatives to create and pass
a law exempting fro mtaxation farm
improvements. and personal property
on farms and that the land values
alone be made the basis Of taxation,

from 3-Sc off to 1-Sc up and hog pro-

Cause of Drop Explained
Bull leaders who were relied upon
to hold up the price of May wheat,
failed to do so until values in the mar
ket as a whole had suffered a fall of
1 5-8c for nearby deliveries and almost
as much for September. This drop
took place in a brief interval after the
opening and was accompanied by an
amount Of public activity not often
equalled except in a selling panic.
Aside from a remarkable reduction in
h Liverpool stock of wheat to a to-
tai # 656,000 bushels compared with
2.240.000 bushels a year ago. there
was nothing in sight to give any
strength to current quotations. On
the contrary. world shipments espe-
cially those from Russia were much
larger than had been estimated and
reports were at hand showing big ar
rivals at Minneapolis. 1t was from

son, however. that hit prices the worst.
A liberal decrease in the United
States visible supply total helped to
rally wheat the last part of the day
and so too did the strength Of corn.

with the latest trading s1.02 3-S. a net
loss OF 1-Sc. New crop futures contin-
ued relatively weak to the end.
Corn Tight. and Dear
Corn sold up to almost 76c a BUSH
ell for May with the cash grades tight
and dear everywhere. Barring an
early dip owing to profit taking by
longs the market was strong through
out the session. Business reached a
huge aggregate and swept prices we'll
above the top most figures previously
on record this season. Adverse wealth
ranged from "a 1-2 at 5-Sc to rs 3-4c.

In a measure oats followed corn and

mary receipts. thought brought about
