MISSING RANcHER
Max Thiel. Who Disappeared Las
december from Morton County ;
Ncighborhood. Is Back.

Mandan, N. D., March 4.-As quiet
and unexpected as his departure last
December was the return Of Max Thiel
to this city last week. The young
rancher from the Judson neighbour
hood came in on No. 6 one morning
and after q few hours sleep started
calling, upon a few friends as casually
and un%concerned as though he had
been absent upon a fortnight's vaca-
ton trip. The only explanation he
vouchsafed anyone was that he had
gone west rather unexpectedly and
had been employed upon a ranch
since. somewhere in the neighborhood
OF Miles City.
Thiel. it will be remembered. came
to this city about December Is and
spent a couple OF days attending to
business matters. In the evening Of
Tuesday. December II. he boarded tho
Mott train for Bismarck to search for
a fellow who he believed had 1tolen q
pair Of silver spurs belonging to him.
From that time until last Friday no
relative or friend heard one word Of
the Whereabouts OF the young man,
being left only to conjecture as to the
fate that must have befallen him.
Rumors at different times gained
circulation, to the effect that he was
In Canada. Chicago, Montana, or some
other place. but no knew. and It
was finally decided that the $1,000 he
had upon his person at the time of his
disappearance must have been the
motive tor foul play on the part ST
some criminal.
But, now 1t seems that the affair was
not much out of the ordinary. Thiel
fell in with a rough company and vas
In some way induced to go west with
them. He stopped at Miles City and
obtained work on a ranch. where he
remained until his conscience bother.
ell him about the way he had treated
those near and dear. and he boarded
the train for home. lie brought back
most Of tho $1,000.
No further particulars can be elicit
cd from him. but. his friends are none
tho less glad to welcome the lost one
home. He went. from here to his home
at Judson.

NEW YORK, September 10
(By Associated Press Cable)-
Solution of the mystery as to the
identity of the dismcmbered re
mains of a woman, found floating
in the Hudson river last week,
came yesterday with the sensa-
tional arrest of Rev. Father Hans
Schmidt, assistant rector of st.
Joseph's Catholic Church, located
in one of the largest Catholic par
ishes in New York, his alleged full
confession of the crime and a des-
perate effort to end his own life
by cutting his throat.
81 killed the girl because /
loved her." the priest is reported
to have admitted to the police.
Her name was Miss Anna Au-
muller, a German girl employed
as domestic, who had been miss
ing from home since September
Father Schmidt maintained that
he was married to the girl, having
performed his own marriage cere-
mony, the event not being attend
ed by any witnesses.
The police version of the motiv
for the peculiarly fiendish crime is
that the assistant rector murdered
the young woman because of the
fact that she was about to become
a, mother and had threatened to
appeal to her employers for aid.
For nearly two weeks the en-
tire detective department of New
York had been working in an If
fort to clear up the mystery of the
finding of the dismembered re
mains. Dozens of women were
reported missing, but in every case
identification was found impossi-
BILE until il was learned that Miss
,Anmuller was missing FROM home.
The detectives learned Of her al
legged. intimacy with Rev. Father
Schmidt, succeeded in etfecting II

mains and then confronted him

mediately placed under arrest,

the Tombs and finally. according
to the officers, admitted the crime,
describing how he had killed the
girl and then attempted to de-
stroy her identity before casting
the dismembered body into the
river. He had not been searched.
and before the officers could pre-.
vent him he slashcd his throat

that the wound is fatal.

Judge Kingsbury Settles a Queer
Family Mixup by Awarding
Custody to School Principal.

mail Special to The Advertiscr.)
WAILUKU, September 13.--At the
Makawao police court last Monday, II.
w. Ferguson was charged with at
tempting to murder Porto Rican wo-
man named Figuero. As the attorney
for the defense, il. C. Mossman, was
unable to attend court, the case went
over till yesterday
The affair arises through the alleged
shooting at Haiku last week, The de-
PENDANT is II homesteader and, it is
alleged, fired a shot at the woman,
who was trying to get her daughter
to leave the Ferguson home. The
court set the bail at $500 and Fergu-
son was released to appear when call.
ed upon.
As an aftermath of the alleged
shooting, Ferguson appeared in the Wa
iluku district court Wednesday last.
He petitioned that the court give him
the girl to care for, as Il guardian till
she comes of age. Judge Kingsbury
did not seem to take to that PROPOSE
ton kindly; neither did the Judge con
slider that the smother of the child was
quite the proper person to have Gus
tody of her. The judge thought that
the mother had quite sufficient to han.
die in working hard for the support
of her other children.
The mother of the girl made some
startling charges against Ferguson,
who, on the witness stand, denied the
truth of the assertions.
The alleged shooting episode was al,
ludcd to in the district court, and
Ferguson denied that his adopted
daughter had handed him revolver to
shoot her mother. Ferguson version
| of the affair was that he had the gun
in his back pocket, and that the Porto
Rican woman took it away from him.
He denied that any shot was fired.
Judge Kingsbury- gave the girl into
the custody of the deputy sheriff of
Wailuku, and instructed that official
to take the child to the probation Of
fcer, where she could be questioned as
to what she thinks of the Ferguson
domicile. Miss Orchard, principal of
the Wailuku school, offered to provide
the girl with good home, and Judge
Kingsbury decided to commit the girl
to her charge.
