ENR|QUEZ SALAs
SURRENDERS

Enriquez Salas, who wounded
his wife and killed her father,
Ross Garcia at Torreon on the
evening OF February 4th, and
had since been at large with the
officers hunting for him, came in
last Friday night and went to
the house of his brother, Manuel
Salas, in Estancia, and on Satur-
day morning went to the court
house and surrendered to Deputy
Sheriff Dee Robinson.
Salas doesn't talk, and beyond
saying that he is sorry for the
occurrence has made no state
ment in regard to the tragedy.
It appears from what he says
that he had been wandering
about the sheep camps in the
south part of the county and af-
ter brooding over it, concluded
to come in and surrender.
He had never been away from
home much, and probably dread
ed going into strange country
and among strangers. 1t may be,
also, that he thought his chances
for getting away were slim.

Edmunds. N. D., Aug. 4.-Vertie
Moffitt. a young girl aged II years,
who had been living at the farm of
Ben Baker. west of Edmunds and near
Arrowwood lake, was shot and killed
at the farm, a shotgun in the hands of
Chris Sonsen, an employe at the Baker
farm. being discharged as he (Sonsen)
and the girl were playfully scuffling
previous to Sonsen'S leaving on a fish
ing expedition to ArrOwWood lake.
The girl had just taken hold of the
shotgun near the muzZle when the en-
tire charge entered her left leg near
the hip and came out in the groin,
tearing a terrible wound. while sever
al shot also PASSED into the right leg.
Sonsen and Mr.. Baker quickly carried
the girl. who fell screaming, into the
house and telephoned at once for Dr..
Longstreth at Kensal. The doctor
reached the scene in twenty minutes,
but the girl had died, bleeding to death
from the severed arteries a few mo-
ments after the accident occurred.
Coroner Guest and DIR. Freese of
ellie Officer William Blake, who had
placed the girl at the Baker home, and
Howard Smith of the Eddy-Proctor
Furniture Co, who went to Edmunds
TO bring home the remains of the un-
fortunate girl.
In telling of the shooting to Coro-
ner Guest, Sonsen stated that he and
Mr.. Baker were about to leave for
Arrowwood lake to fish and were to
TAX the shotgun in order to kill a 60
pher for bait. Sonsen carried the load
ed gun out to the granary, approached
the wagon where Vertie Motif was
standing talking to Mr.. Baker. She
playfully grabbed the guns muzzle and
in some unknown way, states Sonsen,
the left barrel of the gun was dis
charged. Baker was kneeling on the
ground at the time attaching a fish
hook to a line and did not see the &C
cident.
After questioning the witnesses to
the accident, Coroner Guest decided
there was no need for an inquest. The
deceased formerly lived at Manning,
Dunn county. and is survived by her
father n sister, Logs, who is living
with Mr.. n Mrs. John Canham at
Jamestown.

COMPANY H BOY
With VILLA

Harvey, N. D., Aug. 4.-W. O. Sew
erance, brother of Walter Severance of
this place, arrived from jamestown,
having but recently returned from
Mexico, where he has been for the last
three and one-half, years actively en-
gagged as a soldier of fortune fighting
in the army of the constitutionalists,
first under Madero, with whom he
served V and one-half months, and
later with Carranza, Villa n for a
short time with Zapata.
Mr.. Severance formerly served with
the North Dakota volunteers in Co. H,
Philippines. In Mexico he was in the
artillery and holds a commission as
captain, although for a time he was
on the staff of advisors of General
Villa. Incidentally he was one of the
nineteen men taken with A. E. Foun-
tain, who was executed, and while he
was sentenced to be executed the fol-
lowing morning along with the others,
he was saved by the intervention of
Consul Davis. He also took part in
the battle of Torreon, and served with
the artillery branch of the attacking
force.
Mr.. Severance says he has promise
of 1000 acres of land for his services
as soon as the troubles of the country
are settled, which he thinks will be
brought about within a few years. He
left yesterday for Minneapolis, where
he will visit relatives before returning
to Mexico. -.

TRANSIENT WANTED A
/. SHOT GUN AT ONCE

Jamestown. N. D., Aug. 4. Tom
Jones, a transient giving North
Carolina as his native state, broke
through the. heavy plate glass in the
door Of the jamestown Hardware Co. S
store, Fifth avenue and Second street,
entered the store and smashing a
showcase window. removed a twelve
gauge shotgun. AS he was attempt
ing to load the gun with ten-gauge
shells, Night Officers Augsburger and
Briggs, who had been called to the
store by a passerby who heard the
noise, arrived and caught the burglar,
who made little resistance. @.
Mr.. Jones was brought before Police
Magistrate Murphy yesterday morn
ing and charged with burglary in the
third degree, the penalty for which is
imprisonment in the penitentiary from
one to five years. He waived examina-
ton and was bound over under ST. 900
bonds to the district court. He said
he had been beaten up by other hobos
in the jungles and attempted to steal
the shotgun in order to clean up the
men. Jones seemed unbalanced. He
said he had run away from home when
Is years of age and at one time had
been confined in an asylum. He was
bleeding ~profusely from blows inf1ict-
ed over the head and had been cared
for by a physician. Damage at the

WILL HEAD DENS,?

jamestown, N. D., Aug. 4.-There Is
a great deal Of interest being taken in
the election of the chairman of the
democratic state central committee.
The fact that Chairman Macarthur is
on the minority precludes his ~re-elec-
ton. He is also holding a federal DO
sition which will prevent his acting in
the capacity of chairman. Some of his
friends are said to be willing to have
former Secretary Byrner of Bismarck,
former Editor Perry of Glendale or
Hon. j. P. Lamb of Michigan City. It
Is asserted that any one of the trio
will be acceptable.
1t is doubtful if Byrne will accept,
Lamb Is also a busy man, who is some
what tired oil the political game and
the Glendale ex-newspaper man is
more likely to be chosen than the other
three. Some of the anti McArthur
faction want to name F. w. Mclean,
the present state secretary, but it is
understood that he has declined to ac-
cept the position. His service for sew
eral as secretary is said to have
given him all the experience he wants
in that class of work.

the time limit for entrants, and those
who wish to place exhibits will be
Obliged to have them on hand at the
specified time. Out of town entrants

These are the monarchs most close
ly concerned in the war between Ser
via and Austria. Emperor Franz Josef
of Austria is an aged man who has
passed through more wars than n
ruler of Europe. He is cold, tyrannic-
al, and merciless, and it has been his
ambition for more than half a century
to extend his domains south through
the territories now controlled by Ser
via. Greece, Bulgaria, and Roumania.
hoped that the Turkish war, in
which the smaller kingdoms south
drove the Turk u Of Europe, might
leave him in possession Of that terri
tory. But his guess was wrong.
The czar is concerned in the war be-
cause 1t has been his policy to protect
the Slavs of Bulgaria, Servia, and
Roumania. The Russians have tried
to build a strong sentiment south OF
Austria to check her development.
King Peter Karageorgevitch Of Ser
via, who may lose his throne IL the
war continues, lis one of the mournful
figures among rulers In Europe. He
succeeded to the crown after King Al
exander and Queen Draga had been
murdered, and for a long time some
governments in Europe would not rec
Ognize him. He has now, however,
because of the aggressions OF Austria,
won much sympathy.
