LETTER TELLS Of
WAR CONDITIONS
FATHER-IN-LAW OF MINOT MAN
DESCRIBES FEARFUL LIFE
LEAD BY RUSSIANS.

Minot, N. D., Dec. 27.-Henry Roz-
en-, Of the B. and R. clothing store, re-
ceived the sad news from his wife's
father in Russia, telling of the terri
bic suffering that thousands of poor
people are experiencing. In the re-
cent German drive, the Russians were
ordered by the Gar to burn their
homes and flee, so that when che Ger
mans arrived they would find nothing
but barren waste. Henry's father-in-
law and his family were driven from
home and are now living in great
hardships, many miles away, with lit
tie to eat, to wear and little to keep
them warm. Mr.. Rozen sent the fam
lily a substantial sum, which will help
them for short time. The letter as
translated, follows in part:
We had some very bad experiences.
Business is very bad. W. Ii ye togeth-
er with Mordche Weinberg, but we
have to sleep on the floor. Mother is
also with us. We have not expected
to suffer so much. We are in this
small city where everything is very
dear. Wood is 40 kopeks a pub Zone

There are many refugees here and we
have to suffer from hunger. It is very
cold here now. We don't know what
to do. Shall jump off the bridge? !?
MY only hope is God and you who can
help US. We seem to have gotten used
70 our trouble. Our daughter, Bielka,
has the typhus. Mordke Weinberg
is sick in bed with his foot. am also
sick. What can l do? All I can do
is to raise my hands to God and cry.

out for us and our poor lives so that
we are not lost. There seems nothing
left for rs to do but to die In the
streets. Tear children, I do not want
10 write you such q letter. but I am
forced to do It. This letter is written

assistance to the unfortunate man, but
conditions are such that his suffering
is bound to be great and he is but one

ICELAND CITIZEN
TAKES HIS LIFE

On Of the most shocking incidents
that has ever occurred in the COM
1nunity took place at the home Of j.
G. Vote, five miles west of Egeland on
Tuesday, Dec. 22nd, about noon when
]. G. Vote ended his own life by shoot
ing himself with shotgun. Failing
health is believed to have been the
cause Of the rash act. Mr.. Vote had
been suffering i'll effects for several
days past and had been lying upon his
bed most Of the forenoon Of the fatal
day and the family were seated around
the table eating dinner and had called
Mr.. Vote to his dinner. He arose al d
went out to. the table but turned and
went back to the bedroom, picking up
+ e shotgun from behind the door and
the shot followed. When members of
the family entered the room they
found him sitting on the floor with the
gun in one hand and violin bow m
the other, with which he is believed to
have touched off the weapon which
ended his life. Death was instant as
the shot blew the top part of his skull
completely off. Neighbors were at
ence notified and the County coroner
was summoned. The case was plain
suicide and no inquest was necessary.
The funeral took ploce Friday at II
o'clock from the home and interment
made in the cemetery at Brumbaugh.
A. N. Sharp conducted the services.
The case is indeed sad one, as
wife and seven children, a number of
whom are small, are left to battle the
Aardships Of life with moderate finan-
sial circumstances, alone, and the
deepest sympathy Of the entire COM
naunity goes out to them.
J. G. Vote moved here with his fam
ny from Iowa about fifteen years ago,
and has resided since that time upon
the same place where he ended his
hfe.-Egelands Enterprise.

MURDER IS DONE
ON T|0CA FARM
FARMER CRAZED WITH LIQUOR
AUTHOR OF MOST TERRIBLE
TRAGEDY.

Tioga, N. D., Dec. 2s.-Crazed with
an over indulgence in whiskey and
possessed Of an ungovernable temper,
Andrew Anderson, residing about Il
miles southwest Of town hr,r ally
murdered his neighbor, Ole HaIgren-
sen. 'f'
Halgrensen had gone to the Ander-
son home to invite the family to q
ludefisk supper at his place that even
ing, and while Mrs. Anderson was
getting herself and the children ready
the two men went out to the barn
where they partook freely of jug of
whiskey produced by Anderson.
When ready Mrs. Anderson opened
the door to see if the men were com
ing and heard them talking in The
barn. There was nothing in their
tones to indicate that trouble was
brewing. She returned to her room to
make some final preparations when
she heard her husband enter the house
hastily and go right out again, and a
moment later she heard shot. She
rushed to the barn and discovered her
husband with a shotgun in his hands
Standing over the PROSTATE form of
his victim. She summoned DR.. Hills
fthis city, who, after an examination
of the wound, stated that the man had
died almost instantly. Apparently
the gun had been placed close to the
victims neck when discharged as pow
der burns were plainly to be seen ON
the mans face. The charge tore Q
hole thru his throat, severing the
windpipe and jugular veins.
When taken into custody later nj
the evening, Anderson was still badly
intoxicated, and while murmurine in I
drunken manner that he had "killed
Ole", did not appear to realize tho
enormity Of his crime. It was cleaned
from his rambling talk that discus
sion arose over q thresh bill which An
derson claims Halgrensen owed him,
but he did not say whether or not this
was the cause Of the crime.
The murdered man was 46 years Of
age and leaves a wife and nine chit
dren. Anderson is s4 years old and
also has family.
