BOOZE AND COLD
The Severe Cold Of Last Friday Night
Too Much for a Fellow to Sleep
Out Though Tanked Up TO the
Top Notch--Hcrce Death by Expo.
sure.

Last Saturday morning considera-
BILE excitement was caused in our city
by finding just back Of the Mack
Cunningham's meat market the dead
body of Jerome (Billie) Harris. The
body was stiff caused by freezing
and was lying out in the open some
thirty or forty feet back from the
rear of the building. In an old shed
lust n little north and west Of the
position of the body was found the
cap worn by the deceased, and nearer
the body was found the belt worn by
the deceased '
Early in the forenoon the body was
taken to the Undertaking Rooms Of
the Pennington Undertaking and En-
balming Co., where DR.. English, the
coroner, summoned a jury and held
an inquest. The facts developed at
the inquest are something as follows:
Early in the evening and up to as
late as nine o'clock Harris was at the
Home Saloon drinking. About the
hour named above he left and as it
seems alone. Those testifying seem
to think that he was not so drunk
that he could not have gotten home.
After leaving the saloon he was not
seen any more until found the next
morning stiff and frozen in death.
The coroner's jury consisted of the
following men: Geo. NJ, Raines, John
Murrill, +. o. Hughes, j. B. o'dell
and Josiah Bruett The jury's verdict
was that death came rs result Of
exposure.

Undoubtedly Sufficiently Large.

1t is not matter of mere rumor,
but thing that will actually come to
pass within the next few days-a new
hospital in Pennington. The promo

be used is the Swartz property just
next to DIR. Downing's residence on

VIOLATES EIGHT HOUR LAW
President Parsons and Shift Boss
Eads of the st. Joe Lead Company
Bonne Terre, Mine No. /, Arrest
ed For Working Men Overtime.

BOnne lerre, Mine NO. j, Arrest
ed For Working Men Overtime.
Deputy Sheriff Hibbets went to
Bonne Terre Tuesday and placed un-
der arrest Roscoe Parsons, general
manager and Joseph Eads shift boss,
of the st Joe Lead Company, for ,yio-
lating the eight hour labor law.
The gentlemen were allowed to give
bond for their appearance in Court
in Pennington Wednesday, February
18th.
Prosecuting Attorney Benham, Of
st. Francois county is determined
that this law shall be enforced, and
it was at his instigation that this
was done, and by hard work and dill
gent research that the brief in sup
port of this case has been prepared.
No doubt this case will he a warning
to the various companies in the coun-
ty to desist from working their men
over time. Fact of the matter is there
is no need for this being done as their
are men out Of employment, who
could be secured most readily to fill
out the shifts and make them COM
plete enough to do all the work that
the companies can furnish. The case
herein no doubt will at
tract considerable attention.

MURDERER DIES after
BLOWING HIS EYES OUT

LaMoure, N. D., Oct. 26.-Edward
Lawrence, who four weeks ago MUIR
dered his stepdaughter, Miss Ida
Foat, is dead of injuries he inflicted
on himself at the time of the muir
der.
Jealousy over the girl, aged 81
years, because of attentions she re-
ceived from young men about the
city, in the face of his objections
and threats to kill her if she persist
ed, caused the double crime.
Lawrence, after killing the girl shot
at his wife, but missed her. Then
he turned the gun on himself, shoot
ing himself in the head. Both eyes
were blown out. 1t was only within
the last few days that the victim be-
gan sinking. .1s.le ~ p
Lawrence's body was taken to Min
neapolis for burial in Lakewood Gem
etery. .
Several years ago he resided in
Minneapolis, living there from 1889
to 1902. He resided the three fol-
lowing years in st. Paul. He was
married in 1902 to Mrs. Ida Foat of
St. Paul, the victim of the recent kill
ing being her daughter by a previous
marriage. er- ,

Two POSIMASIERS
SHOW UP; ANNUAL
MEETING NOT Held

Grand Forks, Oct. 26.-The annual
/ meeting of, tbs North Dakota Post
masters association, was postponed
and attempts will be made to hold the
meeting in June. But two postmast-
ers from outside cities we're here to
attend the meeting.
The reason for the slim attendance
at the meeting is said to be that both
the president and the secretary Of the
association were no longer postmasl-
ers, their terms having expired last
winter. Consequently they had lost
interest in the association and failed
to notify the members Of the meeting
as we'll as the local postmaster.
