Alexander, N. D.. July sO.-A horri-
BILE case Of suicide was discovered near
here last Thursday when four men,
Nelson and Cash Cartwright and Tom
and George Corbett found the body of
.Conrad4J. Keihloltz lying dead on his
bed at his house midway between
Cartwright and Nameless.
Keihloltz had suicided evidently only
a short time before for blood was still
flowing from "a bullet wound in the
temple. A 16-guage shotgun contain
Ing an empty shell lay on the bed be-
side the body, near which also was
found a stick about sixteen inches
long.
Every bone in the head was broken.
1t is believed that the dead ma placed
the butt of the gun against the bed
post with the muzzle against his head
and worked the trigger with the stick.
Just the evening before the tragedy,
it had been planned by, Tom Corbett
and Keihloltz to come to Alexander to
have the latter examined. His strange
actions during the last few weeks pro-
voked comment and his sanity had
been questioned. e
"A note was found on the bureau in
the death chamber asking the suicides
wife to care for their children and
stating that she would be better off
without him. The man repared for
his death in a most methodical man
RE. removed the linen from the
bed and turned back a rug on the floor
to keep them from being blood-stained.
Keihloltz was about 40 years old. He
leaves a wife and two children.

till night-and where its business men
and citizens and everyone else is in
profound earnestness, and where time
and speed are money--and where ev-
eryone is blazing a trail for himself.
There lis no boom or in Flasher, but
1t Is a noticeable fact, and one that is
commented upon by everyone, citizens
and strangers alike, that progressive
Flasher is doing more building than
N other town in the state.
Every week witnesses the erection of
some new dwelling house or the 4estab-
fishing of some new enterprise or in
dustry. You a put the pertinent fact
down On the tablets of your memory
that progressive Flasher stands
still.
The advancement made in the build
ing line is good to see, and within the
next two weeks the construction of a
handsome new Catholic church and
the building of a new $4,000 bushel
capacity elevator will be commenced
here.
The men at the head of the new en-
terprise are Messrs. .Orrin Albrecht
and Jens Johnson, of well known lum-
Der and machine firm of Albrecht-
johnson Co., and VIM. p. Halter, for
rner manager of the 0ccident elevator.
The site for the new elevator has been
secured between the elevator and the

The new structure will have a p
city of so, 900 bushels, and will be con-
Estructed on the most modern plans,

machinery and grain carrying convey
ances, and up to date IN all its APP
pointments. The contract for the con-
struction Of the elevator has already

The incorporators OF the new ele-
vator, Messrs. Orrin Albrecht,t Jens
Johnson and w. P. Halter, former
manager of the Occident elevator at
this point, are a trio of energetic busi-
ness men who have a splendid and
abiding faith in the future greatness
of progressive F1asher-and If there is
anything good to help the advance
ment of Flasher and bring trade to its
Edoors, Orrin Albrecht, Jens Johnson
and "Bill' Halter will be always found

PHONE COMPANY
HAS TROUBLE

Bismarck, N. d., July 80. There
are some differences between the city
officials and; the management of the
North Dakota Independent Telephone
Co. which conducts the local ex-
change here. Years ago the city
granted a franchise TO Ed Allen for a
local exchange and under that fran
chise. the, city officials were to have
use Of the long distance service; with
out charge. The company has chang
ed hands a. number Of times and was
finally taken over by the North Dako-
tai Independent Co. which is still
operating in this city under the old
franchise granted to Allen. But re-
Gently the company now controlling
the local exchange has threatened to
eliminate this free service to the city,
and has asked the city officials to
hold that the provisions of the Allen
franchise do not apply as far as
granting this free service. The Of
ficials. are resisting such a proposition,
and the result will probably make it
necessary eventually for. the present
telephone management to secure a
new franchise from the city.

Bowman, N. D., July 30,-A man by
the name of Jim Clayton. known I'M
der several aliases, was arrested at
'Glendive, Mont, by Sheriff Barrett and
returned to Bowman on a larceny
charge. Clayton has had quite a. met
eoric career in the Bowman courts and
has been the principal figure in sew
eral notorious trials In which horse
stealing, larceny, house looting and
other offenses were the charges.
Recently, Clayton was brought UP
for preliminary hearing in Bownlan
before Judge Davidson but took a
change of venue and later made an es-
cape beyond the state line. His coun-
sci in that proceeding was Judge FL. A.
Gilbert, recently sentenced to the pen
itentiary for a term of one year and
six months on being convicted of .ex-
tortion. Judge Gilbert and Clayton, II
is reported, were at one time very
close. Later it was said that Clayton
was the man who broke into Gilberts
house with an old mar named Byers
and looted the place of many of its
valuable belongings.
Clayton, who is also we'll known by
the name of Abbott, it is said has a
long record as a horse thief. J,
