VIA WIRELESS
TO UNIVERSITY
STATE UNIVERSITY WIRELESS
y STATION TO RECEIVE TIME
BY WIRELESS

| Grand Forks, N. d., Oct. 25.-The
Radioede Station of the Uni
versity of North Dakota is now equip
ped with suitable apparatus for re-
ceiving the nightly 900 o'clock time
signals sent out from the United
States Observatory at Washington,
d. c., by way of the Arlington, Vir-
ginia Wireless Station. This will
make it possible to regulate the Uni
versity master clock or some other
good clock within second variation
per day.
Inasmuch as few of the amateur
radio stations in the northwest are in
! position to receive the Arlington
signals direct, it is proposed that the
University send out daily time sig
nails at, say, 1900 o'clock at noon.
These time signals are to be known
as University time which will be guar
anteed not to vary more than two sec
onds per day from the standard time
and which will probably be correct
to within one second.
The State jewelers. Association of
North Dakota has been actively in
terestel in this matter and several of
that association have already signi-
fed their intention Of taking advant-
age of these time signals when the
matter can be arranged Owing to
the great distance between Grand
Forks and Washington, the noon time
signals from Washington cannot be
received here by any station of ordi--
nary dimensions. The value of an,
accurate daily time signal is, there
fore, apparent, as it is not always;
convenient to have on operator on
duty at 900 p. NJ. even if the station
in question had an adequate equip
ment 70 pick up the $500 meter wave
sent out by the Arlington Station.
1t has also been suggested that the =.
University weather report be sent
out following the time signal and also
such brief university news items as
might be of general interest in this
state. Arrangements are now under
way to determine the rate of the
master clock and to take nightly OBJ
servations of the time signal
The time signal will probably be
sent out at 1900 M. on 500 meter
wave. They will consist of series
of second signals for four minutes,
followed by five long dashes, wait of
ten seconds and then one-half sec
ond signal at 1900 NJ.
1t is interesting to know that the
necessary apparatus to receive these
signals from the University requires
but small expenditure. Informa-
ton in regard to this matter may be
obtained by writing to the University
Radio-Electric Station, which is in
charge of Dr. A. Noyt Taylor of the
Physics Department. Dr. Taylor is
the official operator, and has charge
of the new course for the training of
radio engineers and wireless experts
A class has already been organized
and students of sufficient preparation
may take up the work Immediately.

been surprised at the article himself.
A reporter had come to him and he
had told him only that he made the
arrest in Williston.
"a week ago | received a letter
from woman, mailed at Williston,
stating that she was the sweetheart
of Nelson, that she received the jew

and if you wish for more proof write
to Mr.. F. P. Hogan, Devils Lake.

YOUNG NELSON
LETTER FROM YOUNG LADY
MENTIONED IN CONNECTION
WITH ARREST

The Graphic is in receipt of the
following communication relative to
a news item which appeared in this,
as we'll as a number of other papers
about the state, relative to the ar
rest here of a young man by the
name of Nelson on a charge of rob-
bing the depot at Devils Lake. The
account published in the Graphic was
taken from the Minot papers. The
young lady, of Springbrook, who was
mentioned in connection with the ar
rest of Nelson gives the following ex-
planation of the case:-
Epping, N. d., Oct. 20, 1913.
"Dear Editor:-You will recollect
that the September rs number of the
"Williston Graphic" contained an ar
ticle concerning me, Miss Dewey Os-
borne, then of Spring Brook, now Of
Epping, which places me in a very
uncomfortable as we'll as a false posi-
tion.
"To be plain the statements con-
cerning me were absolutely false
''The facts are briefly these: About
the 18th of September, D. Nelson

ENDED LIFE
WITH
WOMAN TOOK DOSE OF LAUD.
MUM AND DIES IN LOCAL
HOTEL

A woman by the name Of Helen
Jorgensen (alias Walker, alias Chris
tiansen) ended her life in room at
the Great Northern hotel last Thurs
day afternoon by drinking laudnum.
She had swallowed two ounces of the
deadly drug. The woman was discov-
cred in an unconscious condition in the
room soon after she had taken the
fatal dose, and for several hours ply
sicians worked with her in an effort
to save her life. They could not over
come the effects Of so heavy dose
of poison and she died after partially
regaining consciousness for a few
seconds.
The dead woman was about Al
years old, and had been at the hotel
for three or four days, in company
with a man by the name of Adolph
Anderson, from Plentywood, Mont,
registering as his wife. Anderson
had returned to Plentywood on We'd
nesday afternoon, but the Jorgenson
woman remained at the hotel, and on
Thursday afternoon ended her life in
the manner described. It appears,
according to all evidence obtainable,
that the woman had been addicted to
the use of laudnum and strong drink.
She purchased the two ounces of the
drug in a local drug store, where she
was carefully questioned by the clerk
before the drug was given her. She
explained to the clerk that she knew
how to use the drug and that she
wanted it for medicinal purposes.
There were many stories circulated
regarding the suicide. The facts as
established in the case by States At
torney U. L. Burdick are as follows:
It appears that the Jorgensen wo-
man had been employed locally as a
domestic and that she had formerly
been at Plentywood, where she had
known ANDERSON. Some time last
week she wrote a letter to Anderson
asking him to come to Williston to see
her. which he did. When he arrived
here she met him at the train and
they went to the Great Northern no.

Perhaps the most horrible cold
blooded murder in the history of Will
liams county, or in the state, occurred
near Ray on Tuesday evening when
a man and his wife and little twelve
year old daughter were shot down by
a man who had gone to the D. T. Dill
lon home ten miles from Ray on a
pretense of seeking work
Mrs. Dillon and daughter were kill
ed instantly and Mr.. Dillon is not ex-
pected to live. Reports up to the time
of going to press are that he is still
living but is in terrible agony from
the four bullet wounds in his body.
The man who is supposed to have
done the shooting was captured and
is now in the Williams county Jail
here. Sheriff Erickson and Deputy
Strom brought the murderer here
Wednesday afternoon. He gives his
name as Cleve Culbertson, and de-
nies the charge placed against him in
every particular.
The story Of the murder is most
revolving one and reveals the fact
that the deed had been deliberately
planned.
Wanted Work
It appears that on Tuesday after
noon a man came To the Dillon home
and asked for work. Mr.. Dillon was
not at lone, being away attending an
auction sale. The man was told by
Mrs. Dillon to wait till evening when
Mr.. Dillon would return and he could
then ask him for employment. The
fellow stayed about the place until
evening and when Mr. Dillon return
ed had supper with the family. He
asked Dillon if he had any work to
offer him about the farm. Mr.. Dillon
had planned to build barn and en-
ployed the stranger at $l.5O per day
and board. About nine o'clock Mr..
Dillon and the man went to the barn
to feed the horses and as Mr.. Dillon
was bending over the oat bin getting
the fedd Culbertson shot him four
times. Leaving Dillon for dead in the
barn he started to the house and on
the way he met Mrs. Dillon. He fired
at her, shooting her through the heart,
killing her instantly. After this the
man went into the house and forced
the door to the room of the twelve
year OLD daughter, who was preparing
to retire, and shot her through the
heart
Dillon Recovered
Soon after he was shot Dillon re-
gained consciousness and pulled him
self out of the bin and tried to get a

When you're spending your money in
punches, you know,
To give your best girl a o at the
show;
When you're straining your credit to
keep up the pace,
And selling your soul for the price of a
place;
When you're sending rich gifts with
much Christmas joy,
Don't forget your dear old mother, my
boy.
1t may be exciting to go the mad gait,
1t may be a joke to tamper with Fate;
1t may swell your pride to be toasted
and dined,
To lean Ger bare shoulders touch lips
that are wined;
But, boys, there is something far sweet
er than this
The face of your mother held up for a
kiss.
Perhaps you can't see her when Christ
mas gets here,
The mother who sheltered you year at
ter year; .
Perhaps you can't hold that gray head
to your breast,
The one in the whole world who loves
you the best,
But, boys. when you're buying your
presents so gay,
Just send one to mother-you'n be
thankful some day.
You may give costly presents to those
in your set,
You may try to buy friendship then
pray to forget;
You may get hearty handshakes and
greetings galore,
And pink-tinted notes from the one you
adore
But the missive of thanks that will fill
you with joy
Is dear, patient mothers God bless
you, my boy!'
