Michael Ulick id being held in a. cell
in the Ramsey county jail, mute with
consciousness OF the awful crime he
committed.
'Sneaking up behind a rig in which
were Mrs. Bernhard Vessels, her
daughter Sarah, age is years, and lit
tie sister, who live in Illinois town
ship, Nelson county, Ulick on Friday
night fired two shots into the moth
er's head. Her body dropped out Of
the rig and leaving it for dead on the
public highway which forms the coun-
ty boundary line between Nelson and
Ramsey counties, Ulick took her seat
in the vehicle and irving to al nearby
woods subjected the daughter to a
brutal assault. Next morning Ulick
drove into Lakota, where he was ap-
pretended by Sheriff Martin Olsen,
who with. Deputy Ed. Elliott secured

day. The man was brought to Devils
Laks.
Ulick came to North Dakota from
Long Prairie, MINI. For twelve years
he has lived in the country northeast
Of Hamar, working the Jess Kelly
farm, which is in Odessa township,
Ramsey county. The Vessels farm
is just across the line in Nelson coun-
ty. According towhat can be learn
ed Ulick has directed attention to Miss
Vessels for some time. The mother
objected to his coming to the place
and a hatred between them was engen
dered.
The fact that the shooting occurred
on the county line leads to the ques-
ton whether Ramsey or Nelson coun-
ty will prosecute the Ease. No formal
charge has as yet been preferred, a
change in the condition of Mrs. Wes-
sells being awaited. Ulick is a man
about 81 years Of age, whose appear
