Two Brothers ARE
AWAITING EXECUTION

Gainesville, Ca, Sept. 19.-James
Cantrell and his younger brother
Barlow Cantrell, are occupying tht
death cell" in the. Gainesville jai
and, unless some unforeseen II I'm
expected contingencies should aris'
that would cause the governor of the
state to interfere with the execution
Of the sentence, the two, prisoner
will be executed by hanging a weel
from today. The two Cantrells were
tried several months ago and, afte:
having been found guilty of the mr.
der of Arthur Hawkins, were sen
fenced to be hanged on Septembe
2G. Mrs. Sylvia hawkins, the wild
Ow of the~victim of the crime, who
was tried for completely in the crime
is now serving a life sentence TO!
her share in the brutal murder.
The history of the crime which.
at the time, created a great sensation
and tremendous indignation through
out the state, clearly reflects the pas
siUnate and wantOn nature Of the VIC
man i'll the case and the power whiC.
she exercised over James Cantrel
her lover. and Barlow, the younge
brother of James, who seemed to b.
equally devoted to the woman.
Arthur Hawkins, his wife and tlleE
four children lived in Gainesville, bu
in March Of this year removed to F.;
farm near Bolton. Their neighbor
were James Cantrell. a widower witt
two children, his mother and sister
and Barlow Cantrell, a young man o
1G or II years. Soon after the Haw
kins family came into the neigh5or
hood James Cantrell contracted tho
humps and Mrs, Hawkins went tt
his, house. to see him.
Cantrell and M,rs. Hawkins became
infatuated one with the other Amos
at the first meeting and, it appeared
from the evidence at the trial, With!
two weeks after their first meeting
they were e to kiss each other
They saw each other nearly ever!
day, and numerous letters passed be
tween them, letters in which shf
called him her sweet boy" told hin
she loved him and had no pleasure
except in his company, that sht
thought more of hi mthan Of an!
other man in the world. and that sh'
would rather give up her baby thar
him. ,a.
In her later letters she suggeste'
to Cantrell that he kill arthur ant
put his body on the railroad track
She said that in the event of his
death they would get a lot of none
and would be able to marry. In an
other letter Mrs. Hawkins said she
would go with Cantrell and the,
would follow Arthur out to some Sc
Guided place, where they could Kill
him and nobody would ever know it
Then she would live with him ant

Mrs. Hawkins. according to the ties

hardware store in Lula, and will
Cantrell's aid unloaded the shot
melted them into a slug, and t0geth
er they loaded the gun with which
Hawkins was killed. The murder it

with a pistol and a. shotgun, Bartov

ARM0R|ES ARE
NOT TAXABLE
State Tax Commission Does
Not Believe They Are
+. Taxable Property

MinOt, n. D., Sept. 19.-There has
been not a little uneasiness among
members of the National Guard
throughout the state I'VE the pros
pect Of the taxation of the armories
Of the several companies. Many
newspapers and some taxing officials
have concluded that such armories
were assessablc.
However, the state tax commission
does not believe that they are taxa
bit and will not place them upon
the tax rolls as escaped property, UNI
less they are organized as ordlnar!
corporations for profit, in which case
they are taxable in the poinion of the
commission. The arnfOries generally
have been built under Section 11SS
of the revised code, which provides
for the organization training
schools for members or eX.members
Of the company. The objects of such
organization is for the purpose of es
tablishing "a military training school
apd q place OF meeting to instruct
its, members in, the science and arts
Of war" .....a'.
This, IN the Judgment or the com
mission, brings them clearly within
tie constitutional exemption of prop
erty used for school purposes.
The North Dakota court has passed
upon Section 1855 in the case OF
Arreson VS.. Company D, First Regl
ment, of the North Dakota National
Guard, IL N. d., 554. In this opinion
which was rendered by Judge Young
the court said: "a corporation or
gained under chapter 1O1 of the laws
of 1897, which authorizes three OF
more members or ex.members OF the
national guard to incorporate for the
purpose of erecting an arnory build
ing, is a private, and not a public
corporation; and, save as to take:
and charter fees, which are excepted
by the act, it has the same powers
and is subject to the same duties anf
liabilities. as any other private COZ
poration.'
This decision would seem to pu'
at rest the question Of the eXemp
ton of armory buildings and Othe:
property owned by armory associa
tons from taxation.

Mhile Mrs. Hawkins and the two
Cantrells We're prisoners in the Hall
county jail a note was passed by Mrs.
Hawkins TO James in which she said
she would stick to them and dthat
they would never hang If they would
stick to her." that while they were
In trouble and might be sentenced,
they woul never be hanged. This
was before the cases came to trial.
At the trial both James and his
brother turned states evidence
aginst Mrs. Hawkins, and their moth
er and their sister corroborated their
testimony, which showed that Mrs.
Hawkins had been the real ipstigat-
or Of the crime. T1n her own defense
Mrs. Hawkins declared that she had
nothing to do with the murder and
that the Cantrells killed her husband
because he had threatened to report
them for making m0onshine whiskey.
The jury recommended mercy in her
case.
After her conviction Mrs. Hawkins
wanted to take her youngest child
about 3 years of age, to prison with
her, but the, state prison commission
would not permit this. Mrs. Hawkins
is a handsome woman Of about 80
years, and had borne a good reputa' |
tion up to the time of her infatuation
for James Cantrell. '~-

EVERYTHING POINTS TO THE
BEST EVER. r.

Hardly cvei before in the history
Of North Dakota nave farming opera
lions been in as forward a state as at
the present time. A year ago, with
The biggest crop on record to handle,
men were scarce, threshing rigs in
sufficient in number. the weather un-
favorable and generally circumstances
seemed to be in combination against
the farmer.
This season everything is chang
ed. The crop, while not 81 large in
number Of bushels, is of the best
quality known in years and has been
handily harvested many weeks ahead
Of twelve months ago, and Il big per-
ccntage has already been threshed.
Farmers can now calculate with GER
tainty the years profits and, if they
so desire, take a breathinf spell from
the daily grind.
And iust at this psychological mo.
ment the state industrial exposition
comes t o the front with Il bewilder-
ing and tempting array of prizes Offer
ed in competition for just those very
products OF which the average North
Dakota citizen has an abundant sur.
plus. All these things make for a
successful exposition and If North Da-
kota does not d oherself proud in this
coming state event, then all signs
fail and coming events do not cast
their shadows before.
The management is more than salts
fed with indications. Interest all owe
the state is being manifested in a
manner never before euHalled. State
county and other officials are all vie
ing with one another in. helping a
good thing along and a general dis.
position is being shown for making
Bismarck the Mecca Of all citizens
during the busy DAYS that will fall to
the lot of the capita lefty from Oct.
18th to 10Th.
In a few days the official program
of the exposition will be in possession
of the public and YOU NAV take the
word of Manager w. G. Cilbrcath that
it is a hummer. He has always de-. |
livered the good and is now on his
mettlc to show the good people of the
what resourccfulness and energy
can accomplish. If you miss this en- |
portion you will miss the most in
teresting event of its kind ever seen
in North Dakota.

bility that Geo. p. Jones Of Rock will
again attempt to secure the nomlna'

of his becoming the choice of the

Hellstrom. Oliver knudson has been
