KathrynSunday

Sheriff Kelly and Coroner HOlberE
were called to Kathryn Sunday at T.
o'clock, having been notified that Ed
win Hendrickson had been shot by
his brother.
1t appears that during the absence
of the mother at neighbor the boys
were playing wild West" each hzR-
ing revolver. There was one caE-
fridge in the revolver held by the older
boy aged II, and while it was pointeG
at Edwin, aged 10, the revolver vac
discharged. Edwin was shot through
the heart and died instantly.
Mrs. Hendrickson is a widow womaR
residing in Kathryn, and the terrible
accident has driven her almost fran-
tic. Coroner Holberg decided that an
inquest was not necessary as the
shooting was evidently accidental
The widowed mother will have the
sympathy of the entire community in
this sad affair.

See Early Trial for
Casselton Bankers

Fargo, Dec. 28.-It was announced at
the federal building that a special fed
eral grand jury has been called to
meet in Fargo on January II and the
venire has been made up and sum
monses are being served calling those
drawn to appear here on that date.
While it would not be definitely
stated by the authorities, it is Ger
tain that this jury will consider the
cases of the United States against R
c. Kittel, former PRESIDENT, and w. F.
Kittel, cashier, of the closed First Ma
tional Bank of Casselton, who are now
out under bonds in the sums Of $40,
900 and $4,000 respectively on charges
of embezzlement and classifying of &C
counts as officers of the closed bank
Until this morning it was general
ly believed and stated on good author
ity that the case against the Messrs
Kittel could not be put in shape fol-
taking up at the January term of the
U. S. district court, but the calling O.
a special grand jury would indicate
that the two Casselton bankers will
be brought to trial at the January
term Of court, which opens on Janu
airy 4, should they be indicted by the
grand jury.
The work of Bank Examiner c.. H
Anheier continues at the First Ma
! tional bank at Casselton and Mr.. An
,, heier spends practically all of his tim,
there, coming to Fargo for only {
short time occasionally. While it il
stated that there is considerable worl
to be done relative to the checking VI
of the Casselton institution it woul,
seem from the fact that special Crane
jury has been called, that this worl
has progressed to point that would
warrant the government officials II
presenting the matter to the court.
No information will be given out re
garding the alleged shortage in the
bank, but indications are that the Of
ficials must have arrived at some
thing tangible.
