MANDAN, y. D., Feb. 1.-Two tragic
| deaths have wiped out the family Of Mrs
| Lucy Kloska. late of Raleigh, Morton
county; the end of the mother was chron'

when she was gored to death by a mac
bull in her farm yard, and this week the
only known surviving relative, the 10
| year-old son, Sam Kloska, ended his
troubles by hanging himself in the lone
" shack on the claim Is miles southwest

mother.
Tragedy Took Place Tuesday
II is believed that the young man com
mitted his last rash act Tuesday morn

tie sweetheart, Maggie Kupestinsky,
walked two miles to see Sam, but found
the door to the one room sod house Sc

of the bed and made fast an inch rope

stepped down onto the bed, fitting over
his mead a slipknot made by passing one
end of the rope through a ring. He
then leaped from the bed, and was hang

the floor and within easy reach Of the
bed had his mad courage failed him.
Left Sad Message
The boy had IN all Of his clothes but
his coat; a thorough search Of his poe

was a slip Of yellow paper with the
boys last words scrawled upon it. The
message read:

mother is buried. Bury me there. Good
bye all my relatives, for l expect to die
now. Goodbye, my dear sister, Maggie
Kupestinsky." y
Nothing else of interest was found.
