ROY JOHNSON, FARMER BOY,
FIGHTS FRENZIED BRAKEMAN
TO DEATH ON HIGH BRIDGE
SAVES VICTIMS WIFE FROM
~ DEATH.

Glendive, Mont, Feb. 16.-Roy
Johnson, young farmer boy, shot
and instantly killed J. A. Steele, a
former Northern Pacific brakeman,
after a terrific struggle on the high
bridge here. Steele attempted to
throw the boy into the river follow
ing trouble over the wife Of the dead
man, when johnson pulled 4 gun and
fired three shots into his body.
The shooting took place in the pres
ence Of Steele's wife. johnson i'm
mediatelys gave himself up to the au-
thorities. Public sentiment, in view of
the circumstances, favors Johnson,
who, it appears, killed Steele as last
resort to save his own life and prevent
him from harming Mrs. Steele.
After several hours deliberation,
the coroners' jury returned verdict
of justifiable homicide, and johnson
was released from custody.

MISS VEITCH OF THE AGRICUL-

MERs' WIVES IDEAS ON I'M
PROVING THEIR CONDITION.

An immense crowd Of farm women
gathered at the public library this af-
ternoon to hear Miss Veitch of the
Agricultural College. She gave the
farmers wives some valuable pointers
on how they can make their work
much lighter in the kitchen by means
Of very inexpensive contrivances. A
stool to sit on while doing much Of
their work, the tables at just the right
height, casters under the kitchen fur
niture, and scores Of other little things
that will make the work in the kitchen
a pleasure instead Of q burden were
discussed.
Dr.. "A. j. Mcdaniel delivered very
instructive address on the prevention
Of typhoid fever in the home. At the
conclusion, many questions were asked
which were cheerfully answered.

BURLINGTON CLAY IS
MARVELLOUS PRODUCT
SAMPLE OF STIFF MUD BRICK
FROM WARD COUNTY CLAY
MADE AT STATE PLANT AT
UNIVERSITY.

The Independent has seen sample
Of brick made from clay near Burling-
ton, sent to the state university to be
tested out. 1t is the equal Of any
brick we have ever seen and shows
the wonderful possibilities there IS in
store for the Burlington plant. Mr..
Mudgett of the Northern Briquetting
Co. sent general mixture Of the clay
to the university and a stiff mud brick
was made. It is as smooth as glass,
Of light brown color and its crushing
strength is wonderful. A hollow brick
was also made and this shows won
derful crushing strength as well. The
Northern Briquetting Co. will soon be-
gin the manufacture Of this grade Of
bricks which far excels the old sand
mold variety.

CANADIAN PARTY
FORMER MISSOURIAN HANGED
AT CALGARY, GROANED IN HIS
COFFIN FIFTEEN MINUTES AF-
TER TRAP WAS SPRUNG.

Calgary, Alta, Feb. 17.-William
Jasper Collins, self confessed murder
er Of John P. Benson, which murder
was committed At Cereal, Alta, May
2, last, was hanged at the mounted
police barracks this morning.
As had been expected, the affair
was the most gruesome, but not from
the fact that Collins had to be car
ried to the gsllows, but rather from
the fact that the hanging was bungled
in most horrible manner. 4
With Collins seated in an arm
scHair, the trapwas sprung at 8:O3
o'clock. Il was not until 500 that he
was pronounced dead BY DR.. Costello.
Groans were heard to come from
Collins inanimate form fully fifteen
minutes after the trap was released,
and DR.. Costello, Sheriff Graham,
Superintendent Balm and Hangman
Holmes held hurried consultation,
of in one corner, but when they re-
turned there was less trace Of anima-
ton and Collins was allowed to pass
out Of the world without being again
subjected to the ordeal Of the scaffold.
Mr.. Bailey signified to the hang
man that his offices had been perform
ed and the trap was sprung at 8:O3,
only five minutes from the time the
sheriff had entered the cell.
There must have been something
wrong in some manner or other for
the rope slipped up and caught Collins
around the chin, and when he was cut
down about five minutes after the

fore the class to be used in demonstra-
ton. They are thus given practi-
cal knowledge.
The former Savings bank building
has been secured for the boys head
quarters. Here they sleep on cots
with a man in charge Of them at
night. They are given daily work
at the Armory gymnasium for an
hour and half and in the evening
they are provided with some sort Of
entertainment. They heard the fa-
nous illustrated lecture on the Pana-
ma canal at the Armory Monday

trap was released, it was plainly ap-
parent to all that he was still alive,
and when laid beside the coffin, groans
were heard to issue from time to time.
However, life was fast becoming
extinct, and Collins was placed in the
coffin. Later he was removed for the
autopsy.
Collins and Benson were both ma
tives of Braymer, Mo. The latter had
befriended Collins, and when he came
to Alberta to take up homestead,
brought Collins along with him. Ben
son had in his possession about $3,4OO
which must have aroused the cupidity
Of Collins, who murdered Benson on
May 2.

THREE STORIES AND "A BASE
MENT-BUILDING s4x1oo FEET
NO PROVISION MADE FOR y.
s. LAND OFFICE.

Plans for Minot's new federal
building have been received in this
city from Congressman Norton. The
bids for the building will be opened
early in March and construction will
commence during the summer.
The main building will be 64x100
feet, with three stories and basement,
fire proof throughout, constructed Of
the finest grade stone and brick.
Offices will be provided for the bail
ifs, district attorney, federal Judge,
etc, and a large court room, but ac-
cording to the plans no provision has
been made for the United States land
Office. II is presumed that this can
be tucked away in some Of the numer-
GUS quarters, as the building will be
very commodious.
The plans call for driveway clear
around the building.

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR

A Senate investigation held recently
in Washington justifies the position
taken by many North Dakota papers
recently when they refused to patron
ize certain Newspaper Associations
because of their handling Canadian
advertising, this on the grounds that
North Dakota cannot afford to en-
courage emigration to other parts of
the continent. The matter was taken
up about year ago by the State
Press Association. The "patent In
side" Of many North Dakota papers
contained Canadian advertising read
ers and the publishers were therefore
forced to use the Canadian matter. A
