er was heard in district court begin
ming Tuesday afternoon, and contin-

protested against the treatment Of
the man, and was hit q slight tap or
blow on the face by the marshal,

WILD GEESE AND DUCKS :.
STILL IN THE STATE.
But Hunting Season for Water Fowl
Closed Dec. Is.

Monday, Dec. Is, was the closing
date for geese and duck hunting in
North Dakota under both the state
and the federal game law. It is
probably the first year in the recol-
lection of the sportsmen when there
were wild geese and ducks left with
in the boundaries Of North Dakota
and it is striking testimonial to
the moderate weather and salubri-
Gus climate that these birds should
still remain In the state at Sa time
when they, are popularity supposed to
be SWIMMING id the warm waters Of
the Gulf Of Mexico sand tributary
rivers. !,
Flocks of Wild geese are known to
be within the state, and last Friday
a sportsman sent. word he got eight
mallards from! flock of 200 he saw
on an open spring coulee.
From now till Sept. z, 1914, the
sportsmen Of. the state can legally
shoot only rabbits. There is clos
ed season on all game birds and ami
mails and all song and insect-eating
birds, except crows, English, spar
rows, horned owls, and. sharp-shin-
ned and Cooper hawks. are protect
ed permanently.
The North Dakota game and fish.
board of control had most success
full year. The number of convic-
tions secured during the past season
exceeded those of many other years
combined.
Secy. Brewer is now receiving the
reports from the county auditors,
which show an increased sale of To-
cal licenses in practically every coun-
ty of the state. The expenditures
of the board were greatly increased
under the new law, which created
twelve district deputies, and consid-
cradle effort was put forth to stock
lakes and streams with fish from the
state hatchery. AS result the board
is undergoing its usual financial
strfngency.
{ During the past year permits were
issued to several people M ths state
to retain game birds and animals in
their possession for propagation and
study. Under the law the permit
holders must report to the board.
Many of these are now, being receiv-
ed and some are interesting in the
results secured. 4,

VERDICT REACHED IN
WALLACE-HuhTER SUIT
PLAINTIFF GETS $3.50 FOR ALIEN
@ ALTON OF WIFE'S AFFEC-
TIONS.

The jury in the case of Wallace
VS.. Hunter, in the $4,000 damah
suit, brought in. a verdict at p. m.
Wednesday, giving plaintiff the sum
of $50 with interest from April 1st,
1919. The jury was out about "a
hours considering the case, and it
seemed at one time as if there would
be an entire disagreement, and it
was feared there might be another
trial necessary in order to reach a
verdict. The case has attracted con-
siderable attention on account of the
sensational nature of the testimony,
and numerous witnesses were called
upon to testify on both sides of the
case. Attorney Ellsworth repre-
sented the plaintiff, and G. w. Thorp
the defendant.
The case of William Wallace vs.
NJ. O.. Hunter was begun in district
court Saturday. This is case in which
a number of unusual features of a
sensational nature appear. The
plaintiff is now resident of Car
rington or vicinity, and was former
ly hotel keeper at Robinson, on the
Pingree-Wilton line. He and his
wife lived for part of last summer
in jamestown, and were at the Hem
derson ranch. The defendant in the
case is DR.. M. c. Hunter, a travelling
dentist, who kept Offices along the
line of the Pingree-Wilton road,
and made those towns in the prac-
tice of his profession. The case is
said to be the same as that referred
to by the Woodwork Rustler last
summer, for which statements SO
made DR., Hunter brought libel suit
against the publisher. that suit after
wards being dismissed on the publi-
cation. of retraction of the state
ments made on the ground Of there
being no foundation for them.
During the trial the court room
was we'll filed with masculine spec
stators, and q half DOZEN or more boys
under the age ot. 20 were excused BY
the court from attendance at the
trial.
The suit is brought by VIM. Wal
lace for damages in the. sum of &c.,
900 for the alienation of his wife's
affections by DR.. Hunter. The tes-
timony Of Mrs. Wallace, the wife of
the plaintiff, was given, and she
stated substantially that she had in
tended or had practically decided to
leave her husband before meeting DR..
Hunter or receiving overtures from
him; that she met him at Robinson,
where he did dental work for her,
and Upon further acquaintance in-
quired if she could recommend or
find him an assistant for his dental
work. The witness testified that he
later desired her to become his as
sistant; that he had induced her to
go to various towns along the line of
the road, where he met her on diff
ferent occasions; that he had Sc
cured friend of his named Smith to
drive her to Wing, and to Regan, and
that she went to Wilton by train.
stayed all night at the hotel there,

CULBERTSON LYNCHED
AT WILL|STon, n. D.
MURDERER OF DILLON FAMILY
LYNCHED BY MOB THAT
BROKE INTO WILLIAMS
COUNTY JAIL.

Williston, Dec. 16.-(special to
Alert Frank Culbertson, recent
ly convicted of the murder of three
members of, the Dillon family on
their farm north of here, and SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment at the
North Dakota penitentiary, was
lynched by q mob which broke into
the jail at an early hour this morn
ing. Feeling against Culbertson
ran high during the trial, and there
was much dissatisfaction expressed
that the sentence was not capital
punishment instead of life imprison-
ment.
The crime was committed Oct. 21,
Lauren, or Frank Culbertson, kill
ing with revolver Mrs. D. J. Dill
lon and Leila Marsh, her daughter,
and wounding Mr.. Dillon so severe
ly that he died soon after. There
were no eye witnesses, and no mo-
tive fixed absolutely. Culbertson
was captured by a G. N. train crew
while attempting to escape on the
fender Of the engine. The tragedy
was one of the most brutal that has
ever occurred in Williams county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dillon were about 35
years Of age, and Leila Marsh about
twelve.
Williston, Dec. 16.-The lynching
of Cleve ,Cu!oertson by gang of
automobile lynchers has aroused
great excitement in this part of the
country, and the authorities are
searching for the identity of the par
ties who committed. the act, early
Tuesday morning. CulhSrtson was
taken from the jail and hung to a
railroad bridge. andsshts3 body was
then riddlsd with bullets. Several
automobile loads OF men. supposed to
be from vicinity, Of Ray, reached the
Jail about q an, ,leaying tho automo-
,bilesSa few blocks from the central
part Of >thae etown.-Ths lynchers, who
were armed took possession 81 the
telephone station. the fire headquar-
ters and the power house. Attack
ing the Jail. the night watchman was
covered by q revolver in the hands
of a masked man, while others hunt
ed through the jail corridors and
found heavy iron crow bar and
smashed an overhead window to the
murderer's cell. Culbertson was
dragged out of his cell through the
window, and half dragged and half
carried through the streets. He
made resistance, but was put in one
of the autos, and procession of cars
moved towards the railroad bridge
crossing Muddy creek, and he was
hung to a timber on the bridge.
Soon after the sheriff, coroner and
states attorney arrived and took
down the body, but the lynchers had
entirely disappeared,
An autopsy was held on the body
OF Culbertson, and his brain exam
ined by the coroner, and was found
to be normal, it having been claim
ed that the murderer was a victim
of insanity, and not responsible for
his murderous act.
The only clue to the lynching was
the fact that several automobiles
were seen passing through Spring
brook, about II miles distant ON the
road to Williston, early Monday eve
ming. The feeling against Culbert-
son ran high in the community, and
the lynching was the outcome ofsthe
verdict which gave him q life sem
tence as punishment for his crime.
