Funk was KILLED BY
STRAY BULLET IS PLEA

Frank E. Funk, cashier of the First
National bank of Washburn. shot down
and killed by a mysterious bullet on
April 14th, was not murdered. He
was the victim of an accident. The |
bullet, it is claimed did not come
from the Anderson home. hut from a |
distance of at least a quarter of a mile,
or possibly greater.
This is the theory on which the de-
tense will build its fight for the free |
dom of William T. Anderson, held by
the state to be responsible for the
death of Funk, as recently announced
by Tracy BANGS of Grand Forks, coun-
sci for the accused man. Lack of mo-
tive o. the part of Anderson for killing
Funk will be n of the strong points in
the defense. Officials of the bank have
made statements to the effect that their
relations in a business and social way
were pleasant.
The bullet that killed Funk was fred
in broad daylight, it being about 2
O'Clock in the evening.
The theory that any one had lain in
wait for Funk is challenged on that
point. The charge that the bullet was
fired from the home of W. T. Anderson,
through a window about IS or 40 feet
from the place where Funk was stand
ing. is Commended to be absurd because
Anderson would have had to stand in a
position where Funk could easily have
seen him as he emerged from his kitch-
en- door to pick up his little girl, who
had stumbled and fallen to the ground.
1t was while he was STOPPING down
that Funk received the fatal wound.
The window from which the shot
would have had to be fired was raised
only six inches from the bottom.
The muzzle of the gun would have
had to project outside of this window
10 explain the absence of any powder
marks in the room.
In support of the claim the the bullet
came from q much greater distance
liant the Anderson home it is claimed
that the g. -calibre special bullet which
caused Funk's death is a high powered
contrivance that, fired at forty feet,
would not have stopped in it's course
merely by passing through a mans
head. The bullet which killed Funk
was found lying lear his body.
One point cited against Anderson
is that he failed to appear on the scene
of the killing till after a big crowd
was gathered. Anderson's own state
ment, as it will be made on the wit
ness stand if the case comes to trial,
will be that he was in the basement of
his home. He went from the basement
to his garage. and it was while there
that his attention was attracted to the
Funk home by the gathering of a
crowd. He went Immediately to the
scene.
Anderson. in the meantime, is being
held in the Mclean county Jail. the
charge Of first degree murder, being
unbailable.

Board of Supervisors

The Board met on Monday fol
the special purpose of settling up
the Dog Tax Fund for the fiscal
year 1911, which runs to June 80,
1912.
This the Board did, allowing such
claims for sheep killed as were suf'
iciently proven, and settling with
the Treasurer and ascertaining the
amount in his hands to the credit
of the fund for that year.
The claims allowed amounted to
1925. 81, and the net amount in the
treasurer's hands, it was found
would pay "a per cent of the claims.
The Clerk was therefore directed to
issue q warrant to each claimant
for 81 per cent of his claim, which
was done, and the warrants are
now ready for payment.
No other business was taken up.

TO CORRESPONDENTS

That any one should have to
complain to us that they have been
"slurred" and hurt by personal
references of correspondent. is
no less a source of regret than sur
prise. We look over all letters re-
ceived for publication and aim to
cut out such paragraphs as appear
to be'obiectionable or of no general
interest, but we may not haye found
all.
To take advantage of our col
umns to give a. yelled thrust at
some one, on personal grounds, is
unfair and cowardly, and it is diff
fcult for the editor to discriminate
between an item of this sort and
one intended as a neighborhood
pleasantly.
The fact is, a correspondent
ought to steer clear of jokes and
thrusts, yelled and alf-hidden, and
unintelligible except to one or two
in the community. Cut it out!
The Recorders regular CORES
pondents do we'll, in the main, and
we are proud of them and apprecl-
ate their work.
Never take advantage of the re-
lation you sustain to the paper to
"even up" or avenge a petty
grudge.
While on this subject permit us
to explain why letters, so-called
from occasional correspondents,
are not published: Often we can't
read them at all; some times WE
can get the meaning, but have not
time to rewrite them; frequently
the letter contains no real news
items.
Scrawls have been sent US which
| if published as received, the subject
matter, composition and spelling
would have ruined the sender's
reputation for time and eternity.
Send in the NEWS.

REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE

A most remarkable coincidence
has been noted since the death, on
Friday night last, of Geo. F. Eakle
at Bolar and John Rodgers, of
huntsville, both well-known resi-
dents near the Bath Highland line:
We are not in possession of ex-
act dates, which, however, have
little to do with the point in ques-
ton, but many years ago the two
gentlemen were married on the
same day, their wives being sisters,
the same minister officiating in each
instance, and both died on the
same night, within a few hours of
each other.
This will appear all the more
remarkable when one tries to recall
or looks out for a parallel, another
instance where, in the lottery of
life, fate has dealt so similarly with
two friends or acquaintance.
Unusual occurrences of this sort
are interesting to relate and there
fore ought to be remembered.
Another coincidence, in no way
similar but probably as remarkable,
is recalled by the writer as having
come under his observation some
20 or Is years ago: Within eight
miles of Monterey, there lived, un-
der one roof-the old homestead
a husband, wife and one child each
of three generations. 1t is doubt
full whether many persons noted
the peculiar situation at the time
or can now locate the home, though |
the people were well-known and
among the best of Highland.
