INSTEAD OF ONE

Williston, N. D., Sept. 10.-De-
velopments made public today indi-
cate that both Carl Radnitz of
Minneapolis and Henry Sexse. a
Mckenzie county homesteader, were
murder victims.
A second body just found in a
deep ravine in Mckenzie county
near -Sexse's homestead, has been
positively identified as being his,
and s. A. Burns, who faces IA mur-
der charge, must still fight such ac-
cusation, though different man
is being brought forward as his
victim. Burns is being held in the
Ward county jail at Minot.
Carl RadnitZ of Minneapolis was
thrown into the Missouri river
probably at Mondak, Mont. His
body, recovered some time ago

head, his skull being crushed. His
jaw had been shattered by blows
Burns is accused Of numbering
sexse to obtain possession of the

SEEMS CERTAINTY
Of NO OPENING

sites of Parshall and Van Hook
cannot be expected to be opened
this fall was received in letter
to The Journal from Congressman
Norton under date of Aug. 27.
Mr.. Norton states that in an inter-
view with Mr. Merritt, assistant
missioner of Indian affairs, he
was informed there had been no
time set as yet for the resurvey of
the townsites, that can only be
constructed as having no intention
to act this fall. This was brought
about, as stated in The Journal
last week, through the right of
way and station grounds of the
500 railway not conforming to
plats made of these townsites.
However, the railroad company
is now authorized to construct it's
main line, sidetracks, give sites for
elevators, erect depot or any 9TH
er necessary buildings for its use
on the townsites, so that in effect
the towns will be there and the
surrounding country served by
railroad communication and grain
markets. To intending business
firms two courses present them
selves if they wish to locate at
Parshall or Van Vook, to build on
the townsite by recurring permits
of Superintendent Jermark at El-
bowoods, OF build on surrounding
claims. At P;arshall there are a
half dozen business places on the
townsite and another half dozen
located on claims contiguous, while
at Van 'Vook, of dozen business
places, but one is on the townsite.
The only drawback in the delay
in opening lies in buildings having
to be moved when lots are had.
Structures built are placed on stone
SO timbers can be placed under
readily and moved at slight ex-
pense.

One of the most brutal murders in

Sheridan county.
Johnson and his wife had trOu-
BILE about two weeks ago and she
had him arrested for brutal assault.
When the hearing was held at
Plentywood the case dropped on
the promise that Johnson would
leave the country. He only went
as far as Antelope, eight miles
south of Plentywood, and then re-
turned to the scene of his awful
crime Saturday afternoon he
went to the home of the Daniels
woman whom he found just en-
erging from bath tub, and with
his knife fearfully stabbed her
about the face, throat and abdo-
men. He then struck her with an
axe. The woman lived four hours
after the attack, and her remains
will be buried tomorrow at Red
stone
After leaving the abode Of the
Daniels woman, johnson met his
brother on the road, and while
riding in the wagon with him told
of the crime he had committed,
aiding that he was on his way to
the claim shack Of his wife, and
that he also intended to kill her
in the same manner. The brother
returned to town to inform JUS
tice. Johnson was then pursued
by. some of the citizens and was
shot down as he was about to cut
his own throat One of the bull

LARGE AMOUNT OF
MONEY IS SECURED

jamestown, N. D., Sept. To-
The store of o. st. G. Chenery was
robbed, the burglar securing $42.5O
in gold, $47.50 in silver, a certifi-
cate of deposit upon the James
River National Bank for $6l2
which had been endorsed over, and
together with several other small

fcates Of deposit had not been en-
dorsed and are not. negotiable.
Payment has been stopped on the
certificates and they will be value

the state have been notified.
The burglar cut hole in the
jEear door of the store through
which he thrust one hand and turn

the safe was worked and the outer
door opened. He used his knife
to pry open the money drawer but
was unsuccessful. breaking the
knife in the attempt. He then
went to the front of the store
where he secured a chisel and with
this he opened the drawer.
The burglar then went to the
front of the store where he select

The hole cut through the back
door near the knob and through
which the burglar pushed one
hand, would tend to indicate that
the hand was not large and prob
ably belonged to a man Of medium
height and weight. That he was
familiar with the interior of the
store and the value Of goods is in

taken. That he was not entirely
a novice is shown by his opening

mans court.
The testimony adduced was that
Dillman had chased young Bobb
from his store, in front of which
he secured whip from a buggy
with which he thrashed the boy,
chasing him over to the Sherle
residence, where he desisted the
whipping upon the appearance Of
Mr.. Sherle. The marke made from
the whip upon the boys body were
exposed to the view of the jury.
At the time of the trouble young
Bobb was accompanied by a friend
whipping.
Dillman admitted giving the boy
whipping and claimed that he
was justified in doing so for the
reason that Bobb had become a gen
eral nuisance about his store, hav-
ing at divers times done considerable
damage, among which was turning
the faucet on the kerosene barrel
and allowing the waste of the en-
tire contents, and that he had also
put something into his gasoline
tank which rendered the contents
about 100 gallons-useless.
No evidence was introduced by
the defense to substantiate the
story of Dillman. and the jury after
being out about an hour returned
a verdict of guilty. and the Judge
imposed a fine Of $25 and costs,
amounting in all to $82.55.
