s1HE BRYANT MURDER
On iginated From a Discussion of
What Should Be Bought
for Christmas

Bryant, Dec. II. Beginning as u
quiet talk between father and mother
on what to buy the little folks for
Christmas. growing into a violent
quarrel over how much time would
elapse before the holiday, and ending
in the murder of the mother and her
bsby-that is the tragic story of the
double killing in the farm home of
August Justunen. six miles northeast
Of Bryant. Hamlin county, on Satur-
day night, as brought ont at the in
quest this afternoon. Justunen made
a confession to States Attorney Me-
Laughlin in the presence of several
citizens.
According to the statement Of Just
unen, he and his wife were sitting
around the kitchen FIRE after the chores
had been done. They began to talk
of Christmas and to lay plans for max
ing their children happy on that day,
The family consisted of husband
wife aud four children, n an infant
of 8 months. The three older ones
had been undressed and put to bed,
while the baby was still cooling in its
mothers arms when the talk of yule
tide began.
The question arose as to how many
more days were left in which to carry
ont their plans. Justunen disputed
| his wife's assertion on this point and
the argument which followed grew in
to q heated quarrel. The father los
his temper and struck his wife. Whet
she responded by taunting him fol
striking a woman, his rage became
uncomfortable.
Repeatedly, he confessed, he strucl
his wife with his fists. he picked NJ
a chair and hurled it ut her. Grabbing
a dashboard he pounded her into in
s%ensibility. his anger increasing will
every blow. Finally he TOOK the tea
kettle and beat her about the head un
til her skull war a pulp.
The infant, which, Mrs. Justunei
had laid in its cradle at the beginning
of the struggle. cried Justify. Just
unen said he tried to quiet it, bu
could not. Finally he struck it a blow
which stilled the little voice forever
He then retired to his room, wher
he slept until Sunday morning. whel
he hitched mp a team, took the tire
children, and drove to the home o
the murdered wcman's parents.
As far as known. Justunen bs

MATTER OF THRIFT
True Story of Two Men Now
in the Twilight Zone

l.. G. b. in Sioux City Tribune:
Not long 2 a neighboring farmer and
his wife came to our home to spend the
evening. He is a self-made man,
and like all the others of his class,
enjoys talking about the job He told
us that when he FIST came over to this
country his work was limited to fac
tories in one of our large eastern
cities. However, his health wouldn't
permit the confinement and his wife
and the doctor urged him to go to
the country. He finally did. with
the result that now, after 25 years
OF farming, he is worth $50. 600.
Perhaps that doesn't seem much to
many. bat be can he independent
from work the rest of his life and be-
sides, he hasn't quit the farm yet.
He still continues to clear So. 900 a
year from it and doesn't ID any of
the work himself.
The story of the % years is inter
esting. as il deals with a great many
failures. discouragements and his
ability to rise above them. During
the first years when he was trying to
get q start, he had to take the low
est of prices for his corn and small
grain. His hogs seemed to be al
ways getting cholera and several times
he was visited by hail. but he said he
always managed to keep his credit
good and never bought anything he
| couldn't use or make something on.
X he couldn't pay out at the end of
the year, he invariably went to his
creditors and frankly stated his pre-
dicament. They, it seemed, were
usually willing to tide him over.
He had to work mighty hard. but
he was Young. full of energy. and
could stand it all right. They lived
very economically and his wife worked
with him. sharing alike the SORROWS
and joys.
Now they are past it all and have
settled down to nioy life. They do.
too. but perhaps not in a way many
people would. They do not care tc
leave the farm, but have built the
kind Of house they've always wanted.
He keeps the different breeds OF cattle
and hogs he likes best and they are
| both contented and happy.
In this same neighborhood we have
another neighbor about the same age,
who has also farmed the same length
of time. Int there is a difference be
tween both the men and their circun.
stances. This other one is a renter
and in debt some $500 or 5000. He
has never worked very hard, neither
has he ever seen any continuous hard
times. but somehow or other be
hSsn't been lucky Gas he puts it). II
be could possibly get out of paying
a debt. he did. When be sold his
crops in the fall, the money was
| checked cut with a free hand until
it was spent. Then he went back to
face his creditors. He never thought
It necessary to 60 to them and OK.

DISCUSS FUTURE
OF THE c. 0. P.
National Committeeman As
semble at Washington.
PLANS OF REORGANIZATION

One Proposes Special National conven.
ton to Readjust Delegate Represen-
tation and the Other Would Have
Committee Submit Some Scheme to
States for Ratification.
Washington, Dec. 1.-Two propos-
ais for reorganization of the Republic
an party and to find a basis upon
which discordant elements can unite
confronted the Republican national
committee.
Foremost was a proposal f0 a
special national convention to read.
just the system of delegate represen-
tation.
The other was that no convention
be called, but that the national com
mittee fix a plan of reapportionment
for ratification by the Republican
state conventions.
A resolution for a special conven-
ton was prepared by a special com
mittee, which also framed another res
olution in accordance with a compro-
mise suggestion by G.. b. Warren Of
Michigan, chairman of the law commit.
tee. proposing that after the national
committee fixes a basis of reappor-
tionment the plan be ratified by two
thirds of the states which cast Re-
publican pluralities for president in
1908.
Members of Committee.
On the special committee drafting
the resolution were Committeeman
Warren of Michigan, Borah of Idaho,
Hadley of Missouri, who also holds a
proxy from Louisiana; Smoot of Utah
and Howell of Nebraska. They vent
into session to report later to the en-
tire committee.
Former Governor Hadley of Mis-.
mittee appointed last year by the
Chicago conference of Progressive
Republicans to make overtures for
party reorganization, was not averse
to the compromise plan.
Mr.. Hadley said he favored a ma
tional convention, but failing to get
that he would vote for submission
of the party problems to a referendum
of the states.
Senator Borah declared that he in
tended to fight for final disposition
of the reapportionment plan by the
national committee without reference
to the state conventions.
The law committee decided recently
that the national committee could not
do that solely on its own authority.
Addressed by Warren.
Before the special committee was
ready to report the national commit
tee began its session and was adj
dressed by Mr.. Warren, who declared
there had been no division in the Re.
publican party on questions of politi-
cal or economic policy, but because
of differences OF opinion as to the
methods employed in expressing party
sentiment.
''The problem" he said, lis to pre-
vent the continued division of the
members of the party. Let us admin
lister our own corrective; let us not
permit the Democratic party I o use a
position gained solely by division in
III ranks to destroy the good our
party has done the nation
Ormsby McHarg, who represented
the Roosevelt forces in the contests
preceding he Chicago convention last
year, addressed the committee in OPP
position to a special convention.
IF the committee has power to call
a convention, ii has power to change
representation. III this committee has
decided that abuses should be correct

The Golfer dam that will divert the
flow of the waters of Hood river from
the-course that leads off to the Colum-
bia in an up stream direction into the
old channel that flows into the larger
river in a down stream course is being
rapidly pushed to completion. State
Fish Commissioner Duncan is active in
watching the progress of the work.
Master Fish Warden Clanton and j. S.
Hughes. chairman of the State Game
and Fish Commission. were here last
week inspecting the work and visiting
Mr.. Duncan. Mr.. Hughes also visited
relatives in She country. The Fish
Commission will follow a policy that
will provide for adequate tihways on all
dams on the Hood river, in order that
salmon that enter the stream to spawn
may reach the headwaters.
The work is under the direct super
vision of A. A. Oldenburg, who has
been connected with similar state
work for the last Is years. Already a
large part of the current Of the river
is made to flow through the channel
leading down the Columbia. Two rows
of piling have been driven across the
main stream. These will be filed with

wilson. president and district manager
Of the North Pacific Fruit Distributors,
who are handling the local apples.
An effort will be made this year by
the Association to standardize the pack

now in use in the northwest in but two
districts, the Rogue River valley and
the Hood River valley. will be elimin-
ated as much as possible, and the
standard northwest box will be used.
The Association will conduct a pack
ing school to begin next Tuesday.

teaching local people how to become
proficient packers" says MIR. David
son, I'VE will not turn away non-resi-

till Saturday. Skilled packers will be
the instructors and the local inspectors
will have general supervision of the
classes.
