TRAMP MURDERS
ENTIRE FAMILY
FARM NEAR RAY is SCENE OF
MURDER ON TUESDAY OF
q LAST WEEK..

Ray, N. D.. Oct. 25.-Mrs. D. T..
Dillon and her 12-year-old daugh-
ter. Leila, were murdered at the Dill
lon home near here Tuesday night
and Mr.. Dillon was perhaps fatally
wounded
l.. Culbertson, said to have been
father of the murdered child, is
held in the Williams county jail,
charged with the killing. The
prisoner maintains mis- innocence,
however, and declares that he was
in Williston when the murder oc-
Cured.
Mr.. Dillon, who was still living
this morning, has positively identi-
fed Culbertson as the man who shot
him and later killed Mrs. Dillon
and daughter.
Culbertson denies every charge
against him, maintaining absolute
Ignorance of the murder. He de-
clares he was in Williston when the
murder occurred.
The murder occurred about nine
o'clock Tuesday night. The mur-
derer, it is said. came into Ray from
the Dillon farm and registered at
the STotel. The report of the mur-
der was not received until after
he had boarded the east bound train
at o'clock Wednesday morning.
He was taken off the train at Tenn
pie and placed under arrest, but,
as~there is no Jail in that town. he
was locked in the baggage car and
carried through to White Earth.
The sheriff of Williams county took
charge of him there, and yesterday
the prisoner, Culbertson, was
brought to Ray and identified by
Mr.. Dillon as the man who did the
shooting.

LIES ON TRACK
AWAITING TRAIN
HAVE SUICIDED IN STRANGE
MANNER.

Harvey, N. D., Oct. 28.-A man
by the name Of F.. w. Cunningham,
was struck by the east bound pas
senger train 106, at the highway
crossing one and one-half miles
west of Manfred, and injured SO
badly that he died a few minutes at
ter being picked up by the train
crew.
From the engineer it is learned
that the man lay with his head on
the rail, the rest of his body out
side, at the highway crossing above
mentioned, and that at first sight
appeared to be a coat. this belief
being further strengthened by the
fact that some section men Were
engaged short distance from this
spot. When the difference was
noted, it was too late to stop the
train, and the whistle was blown
continuously in the effort to arouse
the man, but without avail.
The man was struck on the head
and was thrown aside but not
mangled, and expired few minutes
after being picked up, without re-
gaining consciousness. He was TAX
en- to Fessenden and the coroner no.
tilted.
1t has been suggested that the
man was dazed or unconscious when
lying on the track, but officials be-
lieve he suicided.

WASTE NEAR CASSELTON.

Casselton, Nd, Oct. 2S.-Martin
Torgeson, aged about 20, was blown
into eternity in the twinkling of an
eye on the John Dalrymple farm
about a mile east of Casselton.
Torgeson was working about a
gasoline tractor and was attempt
ing to thaw out some frozen pipes.
He set fire to bundle of cotton
waste that was soaked with oil and
gasoline, but as this did nor burn
fast enough, he kicked bundle over
to the gasoline tank and turned the
faucet, allowing the gasoline to run
onto the burning pile.
There was an instantaneous ex-
plosion which killed the youth and
scattered burning gasoline in all
directions, the tank being blown to
bits.
The engineer saw what the boy
Was about to do and shouted a

BOY KILLED BY
Au10 AT MAGIC CITY
NINE-YEAl,-OLD BOY MEETS
INSTANT DEATH WHEN
STRUCK BY MACHINE.

Minot4 N. d., Oct. 27.---Oliver
Schmidt. the 9-year-old son of r.
B. Schmidt, brakeman, was struck
by an automobile driven by Hart
SWalstead. the local jeweIer, about
S:15 last evening at the foot of
the Ward street viaduct and in
stantly killed.
The young boy was playing with
companions along the street and
as the machine was coasting slowly
down the viaduct, he grabbed the
hat of one of his pIaymates and
sprang across the street directly in
front of the machine.
His action was so sudden that Mr..
Swalstead could not avert the col
lision, the boys head striking one
of the lamps or the front of the
radiator with terrific force, and al
though the machine was stopped
within six or eight feet the boy
when picked up from the road was
already dead.
According to the testimony Of
DR.. J. X. Pence, who was called i'm
mediately to the scene of the acci-
dent and who arrived a rev mo-
ments after the accident, the boy
had been killed instantly and prob
him, 50 bad was the initial injury
he received at the crash Of the ma
chine. against the side Of his head.

out on the case and both physicians
declared the boys death to have
been instantaneous.

To APPEAL SEED
GRAIN DECISION
RULING MADE BY JUDGE LEIGH
TON RECENTLY TO BE CAR
RIED HIGHER.

Minot, N. D., Oct. 30.-According
to Assistant States Attorney Dorr
Carroll, the decision made yester-
day afternoon by Judge :, K. e..
Leighton relative to the county seed
lien law will be appealed to the su-
preme court.
The case hinges on whether a
mortgage or a seed lien has the
prior claim. Several years ago
Ward county loaned farmers suf1i-
cient funds to purchase seed to put
in their crops. From $4,000 to
$1,000 of this was never paid
back. In the meantime parties
having mortgages FLED PRIOR to the
seed liens claimed that the mort
cages held prior claim. Tie claim
ants in this action were represent
ed by Thompson & Wooledge who
asserted that seed lien had no
more power than any other lien
over which mortgage took pre-
cedence. 1t was this contention
that was upheld by Judge Leighton
yesterday. it5 "a
The appeal to the supreme, court
will be made by direction of the
Ward county commissioners, who
desire to establish the exact rights
of the county matter.

W|LL|STON WOMAN
P0|S0NS HERSELF
BY LAUDINUM IN WILLIS
TON HOTEL.

Williston, N. d., Oct. 30.-At
p. m. last Thursday woman was
found in a dying condition in a
room at the Great Northern hotel
and it developed that she had swal-
lowed a quantity of laudunum.
Drs. Distad and Van Dyke were
summoned and succeeded in bring
ing her back to consciousness but
clogging of the heart soon after
resulted in death. "a
20 was the end of&one OF those sad
stories that enter too often into the
pages of human history and call for
the mantle of charity in matters
of detail. Suffice it that some time
ago she had yielded to the influence
that coaxes the feet of the weak
along the easiest path. She had
passed the age of impressionable
girlhood and was Al.
To her credit she wanted to re-
form: tried hard no doubt but it
was too late, the power Of resistance
was gone, the foundation of char

discouraged with trying, despairing
with a hopeless infatuation for
man she longo to end it all and did
so.
She gave the name of Helen
ChriStianson. Last summer she
lived at Plentywood and fell in
with a man named A. B. Anderson
and conceived all infatuation for
him. When she came to Williston
it was with the resolution backed
by Anderson's advice to turn new
leaf and reform. For some time
she succeeded and found employ
ment as a domestic in a local house
hold. -
Then she wrote to Anderson to
come and see her, she was sticking
to her resolution but wanted to
talk to him. He came and found
she had already registered them as
husband and wife. He stayed sew
cral days, leaving Williston again
Thursday morning.
During the conscious period just
before her death the woman insist
ed that no blame should attach to
him and reiterated her wish to
marry him. Several letters from
him in her possession urged her to
stick to the upright way of life.
Funeral services for her were

Hamre undertaking rooms Monday

funeral expenses.
He came back from Plentywood
and was arrested on the charge of
unlawful cohabitation and was
bound over and at once plead gull
ty. before Judge Fisk and was SEN
fenced to serve 80 days in Jail and
pay a fine of 500 and costs.
In spite Of the bad light in, which
he stands Anderson appears a good
deal of man. He freely admits
his error of conduct but says he
had tried hard to put the woman on
the right road. He expresses deep
regret over the affair and is cheer
fully paying his penalty to the
state.

LETTER TO. LARIN, STAT
ING FACTS.

Ryder, N. D., Oct. 25.-In a let
ter dictated to David Larin, secre-
tary of the Berthold Development
league President Pennington of the

will cross the Berthold reservation
in time to take out next years
crop. The statement is made with
view to encouraging settlers to

road and the probability of the op-
ening of the coal lands, through
the efforts of Senator Gronna and
Congressman Norton, makes condi-
tions look very bright for the reser-
vation people.
