Teacher Shot Down
While Pupils Watch

Ulen, early yesterday shot and SER
iously wounded Miss Anna Skieln
a young school teacher near Glyn-
don, ran short distance from the
scene Of his crime and took his own
life by sending a bullet into his
brains. The woman will recover.
The scene of the tragedy is a
country school building, about four
miles out of Glyrdon, school had
been called only a short time when
a man called at the school house
and was met at the door by the
teacher They engaged in a whis-
pered conversation for a few min
utes. Suddenly he drew a pistol
and began firing at her.
In all four shots were fired at
the woman, three taking effect, one
bullet entered the breast and two in
the head. She sank to the floor
while her assailant started to run
from the house
He had gone only a few rods
when he turned the weapon on
himself and fired a bullet through
his head, dying almost Instantly
Panic reigned in the school
house bv this time and the chill
dren, shrieking in terror. left their
wraps and dinner pals and started
for their homes. The alarm was
spread and John and Edward Steen
were the first on the ground. 9th
ers followed and the stricken wo-
man was taken to the home Of
Louis Larson where she has been
boarding and DR.. Lowe of Glvn-
don was summoned.
Sheriff Whaley and Coroner
Vincent of this city were also call
ed and they arrived on the scene
in a short time. "
It was found that the man was
dead and the body was carried into
the school house from which place
it will be removed. .
After an examination of the
girls wounds it was found that she
had been hit by three bullets. One
bullet had entered her breast and
gone out through the side. One
had hit her forehead and it has not
been determined what course it has
taken. The third short entered her
head just behind the ear and is
lodged i'll the head.
DR.. Lowe says the girl has a
chance for recovery. Steps will be
taken to take the victim to Moor
head to a hospital.
So far no definite cause for the
tragedy has been assigned. The
theory is that there is love affair
at the bottom of it.
The dead man was about %
years old and the woman about %.
Her home is in Twin Valley. Par
ents of both have been communi-
Gated with and the brother of the
girl is now at her bedside. It is ex-
pected that his folks will arrive i'll

body.

EXPERIMENTS ON TREES.
Ice Placed About Roots to Prevent
Blooming.

What is said to be probably the first
case on record of providing an artificial
winter for fruit trees was practiced on the
orchard of w. F. Thomas. between Hag-
erstown and Hancock. Md, today
Mr.. Thomas, resident of this city,
owns an orchard of 5000 apple trees that
are four years old. They are not yet
old enough to bear fruit but they are
setting blooms, and the unreasonable
warm weather as coaxed out the buds
so that there is danger of the whole lot
blooming.
If they did this and later frost should
catch them the wood would be largely
killed, so Mr.. Thomas consulted with the
Department of Agriculture as to the best
way of discouraging the trees from bloom
ing. Following their advice he shipped
100 tons Of ice to the orchard today This
will be broken up and applied to the
roots of the trees in the hope of chilling
them. preventing the say rising and
keep them from blooming

PASSED BY SENATE
Measure Is Complete Substi-
tute for That Approved
by the House.

The Senate this afternoon passed a BILL
granting to dental supply houses author
fty to sell drugs at wholesale without en-
ploying registered pharmacist The en-
actment of the bill has been asked by
dentists. to enable them to get drugs
which they use in the practice OF their
profession from local dental supply
stores.
The House passed bill OF similar pur-
port. but the Senate today passed a COM
plete substitute. Unless the House &C
cepts the Senate bill as the more careful
enactment the bill must go to conference
between representatives of the two
houses. The acceptance of the Senate
substitute by the House would, with the
Measure Has Been Fought.
The enactment has been opposed by
persons who have been fighting for the
suppression of the drug using evil. They
took the ground that any law which ex-
tends the sale of drugs contains a dan
ger that drug fiends will be able to get
opium or cocaine more easily Under the
terms of the bill which the Senate today
passed, it's friends say. this danger is
well guarded against.
The measure would put new section
