YOUNG BOY BROWNS
IN POWERS LAKE
son OF PROMINENT RESIDENT
LOSES LIFE IN ICY WATERS
OF LAKE.

Powers Lake Echo: Monday af-
ternoon party of small children
gathered at the lake to amuse them
selves at play upon the ice, none Of
them being old enough to realize
the dangerous condition of the ice
owing to the continued mild wealth.
er. Among those happy children
was Roy Lundt, aged nine years,
eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. X. e.
Lundt, of this place. Just how
the sad accident happened is not
known, but it is thought he ventur-
ed too close to an air hole, and the
ice gave way beneath his weight.
His companions were so frightened
that no alarm was given for several
minutes, and when help arrived the
boy was out of sight. The body was
soon located in about six feet of
water, and was brought to the solid
ice by Charley Anderson after a
desperate swim amidst the broken
ice. Herioc attempts were made
to resucitate the poor lad but with
out success, and after short time
the remains were conveyed to the
saddened home. %
Mr.. and Mrs. Lundt have the SYM
pathy Of everyone in this hour of
sorrow, and everything possible will
be done to alley their grief. The
funeral yesterday afternoon was
largely attended, large number Of
the school children who thought
much of Roy as comradc. :,

amount of excelsior which immed-
lately started into flame. The
fire was making good headway when
discovered, and was very hard for
the fire department to get to on ac-
count of the smoke getting so
thick that it was practically impos-
sible for them to see their way
through the poolhall above. On
this account the bucket brigade
could do little but wait for the
hose wagon. However, this soon
quenched the fire but left the cellar
we'll filled with water. Sufficient
insurance was carried on the build
ing to cover the loss. The position
Of the building made the fire one
that began to look very bad to the
property owners on the same street.

down a stairway. The thickness
of the smoke kept him from seeing
where he was walking.

Thirteen year old Kathleen Simmon
was sentenced to 10 years in the
penitentiary by Judge Brown here
today for the murder of Julia Jen-
nings, years old, at Wakaw, Sask.,
on June 21 last. Indignation is
freely expressed here today in all
circles, for many persons had at
tended the trial of the child, had
heard her simple story, a story told
in anguish, wetting the eyes OF men
as we'll as women who were among
the audience.
The girl did not premeditate the
crime, she said, as the details were
drawn from her by the counsel. A
loss of temper, that was all, when
her anger was aroused by her COM
panion, who annoyed her by strik-
ing her Kathleen had slapped the
younger child, who fell to the
ground, but arose defiant, refusing
to cease her teasing. -
Finally the older girl, exasperated
abeyond control OF herself, seized a
Spade they were using in gathering
medicine plants, and struck her
playmate on the head, telling her.
Afterward, craZed with rage, Kath-

and again, until no sign OF life ap-
reared. Waking then to realiza-

ed with numbering three members of
the D. T. Dillon family of Ray,
from attempting suicide, the dis
covery Of spoon, which gilbert
son had been sharpening on the

son had the handle Of the spoon
well worn down, and it would have
required but little more work to
make the spoon suitable for his pur-
pose.
Culbertson has repeatedly stated
since he was jailed that "they

Attorney Miller Denies Max
ing Ruling on Tax Sales

comes forth in the Bismarck Trib-
une with a general denial of the
story stating that he never rendered
such an opinion and that the report
is without foundation. Et
While his denial does not neces-
sarily make the reverse true, his
statement throws into confusion the
whole state and It would seem that
some opinion should be forthcom-
ing at once. There are lots of
questions that anyone could ask
about this supposedly false report
or at least about the denial.

BRUTAL MURDER
IN EASTERN MONTANA
TRIPLE MURDER NEAR CUL.
BERTSON PARALLELS Dill
LON CASE NEAR RAY.

Last weeks issue Of the Culbert-
son, Mont, Searchlight gives a
brief account of the murder of a
family that in some ways resembles
the Dillon family murder commit
ted near Ray, Williams county, Oct
ober 21, for which Cleve Culbert-
son will soon be tried.
The Searchlight account says:
Just as the Searchlight was 60
ing to press this morning Josh
Kidder came in from Coal Coulee
and gave us brief account of the
awful tragedy of last night which
has set the citizens in search OF an
undesirable resident of that neigh
borhood.
Mr.. Kidder informs us that C. O.
Vote. who has been living in that
vicinity for some time and who has
been under suspicion of having
committed several thefts, last night
entered the home of r. O. Oster,
highly respected resident, and foul
ly murdered him and his two chill
dren and has made good his escape.
The tragedy was revealed early
this morning when torn fragments
of clothing were discovered in front
of their home.
c. O. Vote was seen in that vicin-
ity last night and again this morn
ing when making for the hills,
where it is believed he Is in hiding.
The evidence Is conclusive and he
will be shot on sight. When Seen
this morning he was wearing a gray
coat and his pants were stained
with the blood Of his victims.
A later report says the murderer
was killed after running fight by
a resident OF Coal Coulee about 10
o'clock this morning.

Minot. N. D., Dec. 9.--H. ].
Schrimpf, the Douglas business man
convicted Gf selling mortgaged
property was sentenced in district
court receiving the small fine Of
500 and costs. The jury brought
in verdict of guilty with plea
for leniency and recommended a
sentence of 500 or more. AS this
amount is the dividing line between
nisdemeanor and felony, Judge
Leighton took the lesser charge
and Schrimpf got out comparative
ly easy It Is felt that the sentence
imposed took the position of an OBJ
ject lesson to several other people
who have been accused of a like
crime.

.OONNYBR0Ok HOTEL
RA|DED BY SHERIFF
OWNER AND GUESTS OF HOTEL
GREATLY SURPRISED AT
.,-. SHERIFF'S VISIT.

! Minot, N. D., Dec. 9.-While
convival spirits held high, carnival
and the merriment was at it's high
est, the black spectral skeleton of
the law obtruded at the feast, in
the person of Sheriff Kelley of
Ward county, and the toastmaster
and chief factotum, in the person of
r. w. McVeety, owner of the Globe
hotel, at Donnybrook was quietly
"pinched." Not only was the war
rant served which charged Mr.. Nc
Veety with keeping and maintain
ing a common nuisance, but an in
junction was served against the ho-
tel and the evidence is believed to
be strong enough to make the plas-
ter stick permanently.
& Late yesterday, armed with the
warrant and injunction, issued
through the office of the states at
torney, Sheriff Kelley of Ward coun-
5ty stole forth from Minot in the
direction of Donnybrook. He ar.
rived unheralded and unannOunced
in that little city and after waiting
until an suspicious time, pounced
upon the jewellers and dragged the
ring leader back to Minot for a
haring.
While the entire hotel is; not
closed a large portion of it is under
paddock and it is probable, say, the
officials, that the paddock will remain
for a year.
The raid at Donnybrook yester-
day is but another result of the Wig
ilance Of the states attorney, r. A.
sNestos, in his determined campaign
to stamp out the violation of the
liquor laws. While a large. share o.
the activity is directed ins,the city
OF Minot, the outlying towns of the
county are not being overlooked,
and they have nearly all had at
least. one visit from the officials of
the county. s:ss:5s .5s;. q.
