Boys passing through clump of
bushes and small trees some 150 feet
from the farm house of Fred Ander-
son, a, well known farmer of Ferry

$3.50 O'clock in the evening, We're
shocked at the sight of the body of
Peter Anderson, aged Is years and
father of Fred Anderson, hanging
from a small tree. a.. .t. &t1-t 4
. The boys ran to the house and ad-
vised the son of their startling dis
coyery. Mr.. Anderson visited the
spot and finding that his father was
dead. notified County Commissioner
Murphy, who advised local authori-
ties. Sheriff Benson and Judge Phil
Mclaughlin, the latter acting as cor
oner. went at once to the scene of the
tragedy, and the body was cut down,
A jury, impanneled by Judge Nc
Loughlin last night, viewed the body
and gave the verdict Of suicide.
.. Pauper and Mute.
The old man had made his home
with his son for the past three years
having been shipped to North Dakota
from Minnesota as a pauper. He had
lost his speech prior to coming here,
and was wont to wander about the
farm, his mind evidently mildly de-
ranged, although his actions were
harmless and no tendencies to do vio-
lence were noted. ....t.-.....
OF late, he had kept to his room in
an upper chamber of the farm home
and appeared unusually, melancholy
looking out Of the windows for hours
at q time, and his walks about the
farm, former interest in the animal
life Of the place and homely duties he
had been In the habit of performing,
being abandoned.
Missed at Noon.
At noon yesterday, he was missed,
but nothing was thought of it, as he
had been in the habit of taking long
walks about the place. When discov-
cred, the body rested partly on the
knee, the lower limbs being drawn up
under the trunk and two small ropes,
portions Of a clothes line. had first
been placed in nooSes about his neck,
then tied to different branches of the
tree.
The suicide must have thrown his
weight on the death strands and then,
curling his limbs up under him, slow
ly strangled to death.
The sight of the distorted counte-
nance and dangling body so badly
that they were scarcely able to relate
their discovery. when they reached the
farmhouse, breathless and with faces
blanced with fear of the awful sight
they had Witnessed.
- The Anderson farm is situated on
the northeast quarter of Ferry town

for the suicide have not been an
nounced.

HINDUS WILL /.
Be BARRED OUT

Washington, March 1.-THE insu-

the entry into the United States of
Hindus from the Philippines. These
steps are expected soon as a result Of
the incomplete exclusion Of that class
of immigrants. The same law which
the courts have construed as prohib-

Philippines, but it is said that collec-
tors of customs in the islands have
been lax in its enforcement. Hereafter
they are to apply 1t as vigorously as
