HUSBAND SUICIDES
and BURNS HOME
Widow of George Hotchkiss Return
ed to Langdon Friends from
Clearbrook, MINI.

The widow of George Hotchkiss. who
suicided on his honest cad in northern
Minnesota, on Saturday evening, Janu-
airy Bird, arrived in Langdon on Tuesday
OF last week, returning to the farm home
of James Colvin north of town, where
as Mrs. Minnie Benthhn, she had for
two years filled the position of house
keeper prior to her unfortunate marriage
to George Hotchkiss on November 4th
of last year.
The story of the bereaved woman's ex-
perience since the beginning of the New
Year was a hideous nightmare, and the
events leading up to the tragedy of Sat-
urday afternoon, when he ended his
misery, after destroying his home and
killing his pet dog Joe" show the man
to have been rendered temporary insane
by excessive indulgence in liquor during
a drunken spree which started with the
beginning Of the New Year.
The home of the Hotchkiss family, the
IN "llo dlu q GlIec SCdi ~
child of the %latter's by former marriage
was on a northern Minnesota timber
claim in one of the u%norganized town
ship about twelve miles northeast of
Clearbrook. HIS drinking was periodical
and he was always quarrelsome under its
influence, but otherwise was of a cheer
full happy disposition. The wife's child
by her first marriage appears to have
been the cause Of domestic uuhappiness
between the couple on these occasions
1t was Friday night, carrying the child
in her arms, she fled to the home of a
neighbor three miles through the woods
when he attempted toshoot his wife and
her child. 1t was after his failure to
discover her whereabouts that he
sulcided using a 3S calibre revolver, hav
ing first set fire to his house and killed
the dog "Joe," his constant companion
and pet for years.

STATE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

The republican and the democratic
parties are beginning to stir in the state
and the party called the third party
progressives. is also giving some signs OF
more or less activity. 1t is evident that
this is going to be a busy year for poll,
t%lcians, busy in more than one respect,
because the people are going to Keep
check on the politicians and are going to
exercise so much independence in their
politics that the outcome of the election
is dependent largely, or will be largely
dependent upon the question as to the
best candidates. or rather, the candl-
dates who receive from the people the
greatest confidence and respect by
reason of their own worth and work.
AS the battle is lining up at the pre-
sent time, the advantage Is surely with
the democratic party, because 1t Is IN
power nationally and is redeeming lis
promises instead of repudiating them as
the republican party did under the last
national administration. The democrats
coming IN at the time when the
people had lost confidence in the re-
publican party and the democratic party
redeeming its pledges and promises,
gives it prestige such as means much
for the advancement and much in the
way Of commencing it to the people and
bringing to it the votes of the masses.
The contest in the primary vote will be
q rather sharp one in the two parties, as
there is considerable division in both,
but it will be less bitter within the
RANKS Of democracy than in the repub-
lican ranks, and again, the republican
party as it heretofore existed, is divided,
n therefore with the divided condi-
ton it is uncertain as to which faction
Of that party will succeed in making the
nominations. Taking a reasonable view
1t would seem that the advantage is in
all things with democracy.
