A MURDERER

Aberdeen, S. D., March 27.-Nels
Bergheim, 25 years OF age, is being
held at Howard, S. D., for the MUIR
der Of his brother.in law, Mons
EIauge. Bergheim is thought to be
insane. 1t is understood that before
the marriage of Hauge to Eergheim's
sister, last spring, Bergheim threat.
ened them both, saying that if Hauge
continued his attentions to his sister
something would happen"
Bergheim has been in the insane
hospital at Rochester, Mimi, but was
released from there several weeks
ago, since which time he has been
in various parts of Minnesota.
He was deeply infatuated with
Christine Hauge, a sister of his vic,
tim, and 1t is understood that the
girl refused to keep company with
him, this fact being believed to have
turned the young mans mind, and,
thinking that his brother-in.law had
something to do with the girls atti-
tude, prompted his deed.
Bergheim had returned to Howard
but short time ago, and In the early
morning went to the Hauge home,
5 miles northeast of Howard, with g.
revolver, and committed the crime.
Both the Hauge and Bergheim
families are pioneers in the vicinity
Of Howard, and the two young men
have been reared together in close
friendship. E.
"A plea of insanity will undoubtedly
be brought up at the hearing in the
case.

London, March 27.-'The political
situation appears unchanged tonight.
Another cabinet council will be held
tomorrow, but no official declaration
regarding the course Field Marshal
Sir John French, chief of the gen.
eral staff, and General Sir John Spen.
GER Ewart, adjutant general Of the
forces, will take with regard to their

that meeting. ~
The continuation OF the crisis Is
attributed to Premier Asquith's re-
luctance to remove Colonel Seely
from the post of secretary of war
Seely's REIMBURSEMENT of his port
folio doubtless would satisfy Generals
French and Ewart, and Asquith's OBJ

indicate international dissensi0ns in

70 CHECK LAND SPECULATION.
Olympia, Wash, March 27.-As one
Of the preliminary steps toward solv'
ing the problem of caring for the in
flux of foreign immigrants that is ex'
pected to follow the opening Of the
Panama canal a twO-day conference
to discuss the land problem was be-
gun here today under the direction Of
Secretary Of State |. N. Howell. The
problem is to get the lands from the
ownership and control OF the specula-
tors SO that they may be disposed Of
to homeseekers at prices that will en-
able them to become producers in
stead of undesirables in crowded cit
les. It is planned. either through tax
alton OF legislation, to force the spec
ulators to give up the lands which
they are now holding uniinproved.

EXPERTS BELIEVE Villas
ARMY May SOON COLLAPSE

Washington, D. c.. March 81
Army experts efforts to estimate the
result Of Villas campaign, are baffl-
ed by the conflicting reports Of the
results of the fighting the neighbor-
hood of TOrreOn. ,...
Out of the mass Of yumors and pri-
vate dispatches it was gathered that
Villa was not withstanding the for.
midable resistance. Though at one
time assuming the character Of an
active attack, which he encountered
after his first victory at Gomez Ra.
lacio,- he had determined to chance

the entire fortune on this phase Of
his campaign, and renew the attack
Oh the suburbs of Torreon with
practically his whole army.
The failure to capture Torreon now,
army experts believe, means the col
lapse of Villas campaign, and posi-.
bly, the dispersal OF his forces.
The fighting has been more severe
than any previous battle, and it is
believed, should Villa capture Tor
reon, his forces would not be in con.
tiol to continue forward the campaign
toward the capital for some time.

GRAND HARB0R
OFFICE ROBBED

Devils Lake, N. d., March 27.-The
postoffice ut Grand Harbor, a small
hamlet of perhaps 200 souls, west OF
here, was entered by burglars,
thought to be home talent, and cash
and stamps amounting to $3.50, taken,
No trace of the perpetrators of the
act has been found.
The postoffiCe was to have been
discontinued on April /, because of
the lack Of patronage, and Miss Sadie
Irwin, acting as deputy postmistress
for Miss Laura Amundsen, the regu-
lar official, had accumulated perhaps
more money and stamps than the Of
flee has held at one time in years,
preparatory to making final remit
tance to the government.
Entrance was made through back
shed, the small frame building max
ing this an easy matter, and the work
was evidently done in haste, but the
job made complete.
The prospects that the postoftice
was to be discontinued was not re-
;ceived at Grand Harbor with much
satisfaction, and considerable oppo-
sition developed at the time of the
announcement.

case has been heard but the trial judge states he will

4 Taxes are required to the government. Small
taxpayers for years have been, and in most commun
tiles still are, paying on vastly higher valuations,
based ON selling Values than public utilities and
other big business property. The small taxpayer
cannot afford to tgate and he pays up and does it
promptly.
Would it not be well to adopt the same rule which
the federal government does concerning customs and
other taxesg That is, compel taxpayers to pay up
and sue to recover back if they claim taxes are UNI
just Thus crmp would be put in the present hold

In Kentucky probably the pay of public school
teachers Is unfairly small and many needed public
improvements are held back. because these railroads
can withhold taxes for years while litigation winds
its slow and expensive course.
