RAMSEY COUNTY FARMER
COMMITS TERRIBLE DEED
SHOOTS WOMAN TWICE, AND RA-
WISHES DAUGHTER. WOMAN
LEFT ON PUBLIC HIGHWAY.
Last Friday evening there was a

Last Friday evening there was a
terrible crime committed in this cout:'
ty southwest of Doyon, when Mike
Ulick, young farmer about 27 years
old, rode up behind rig containing
Mrs. Bernard Vessels and her two
daughters and deliberately fired two
shots at the mother, hitting her in the
head both times, and then after she
tumbled from the rig, he left her j
the public highway, got into the rig
with the daughters, one Of them being
about 18 years old and the other one
"a little girl, and after driving dis
tance assaulted the older daughter.
and then went to his home. Saturday
morning he drove to Lakota, where
Sheriff Olson Of this county arrested
him as he was about to enter res.
taurant for dinner. No sooner was
the crime committed than the news
of the same was spread and the sher-
riff of this county was notified and he
with his deputies started at once to
scour the country. Sheriff Olson got
word that he had driven to Lakota,
and accordingly drove there and ar
rested him as above stated, and he is
now in the Ramsey county Jail, pend
ing the outcome Of the shooting. ,4ts
Owing to the fact that the crime
was committed on the county road be-
tween Ramsey and Nelson counties,
there is some question as to which
county will prosecute the case. Ulick
came to this county about twelve
years ago from Long Prairie, Mimi,
and has lived and farmed on the Jess
Kelly farm near Hamar. He has
paid attentions to the Vessels girl
for some time, and the terrible TRACE
dy is the elimination of his attention
to the daughter, which was objected
to by the mother. Those who know
him speak highly of his past reccr'
and many believed that he had brood
ed over his love affair until his mind
had become unbalanced.

WIFE DtSERTER
. TAKEN At PORTAL

Portal, N. D., James Charleston, al
las Frank McClaud, was arrested here
by Sheriff Heath of Bowbells. Clark
ston arrived in Portal yesterday from
Cabri, Sask., in the company of a
young girl under age, whom he said
was his cousin. The couple evaded
the United States authorities on this
side and securing livery team, i'm
mediatey drove to Faxton, where they
spent the night together. These sus-
picious actions were reported to. the
government officers, who ordered their
return to Portal, but Clarkson and his
companion evidently feared trouble
and drove to Ignite, where they were
taken into custody by Sheriff Heath
and Deputy Drinkwater and brought
to Portal. 49,"
When released by the American Of
fcers here, Clarkson was Immediately
arrested again by the sheriff on SER
ious charge and was taken to Minot to
be placed in the county Jail there.
Tine mounted police also want
Carlson for long list of offenses
committed in Canada. It is reported
he is wanted at Cabri for wife deser-
tion, theft and abduction, the latter
charge being brought by the father
of the girl now in his company.
Clarkson refused to waive extradition
formalities and will be held on this
side until the necessary arrangements
can be made to deliver him to the
Canadian officers.
Clarkson who is an American by
! birth, has lived under the name Of
James McClaud in Canada. In re-
counting his experience in both coun-
tries, he admits practically every Of
fense from the greatest felony to- mis-
demeanor Although but a young
man between rs and 80 years of age,
his criminal record is almost that of
a desperate of the most vicious type.
If convicted Of all the charges for
which he is wanted in Canada Clarks
ton will be liable to fourteen years in
the penitentiary at Regina or Prince
Rupert. Before being taken to Minot
tonight, Charleston said: IT will never
be taken to Canada alive" which is
taken as an intimation that he will
perhaps attempt self-destruction ratn
er than face the charges for which he
is wanted in Saskatchewan.

JEWELRY TAXABLE HERE
ALTHOUGH OWNER AWAY
Corporation Counsel Syme Denies
Removal of Personality Portion
of Year Relieves Assessment.

District citizens may not expect to
escape payment of taxes on jewelry or
articles of personal adornment by
spending a portion of the year out of
the city. Such is the effect of an
opinion just rendered by Conrad H.
Syme, District corporation counsel.
The decision was made as the result
of inquiry made of the assessor con-
cerning whether jewelry which is not
in the city from May to November is
subject to taxation.
There is no specific provision in the
statute fixing the time within which
personal property must actually be in
the District to be subject to taxation.
states Mr. Syme "A perusal of the
statute, however, clearly indicates that
it was the intention to make the first
of July the beginning Of the year
within which taxes should be paid
upon personally owned previous to
that time. If the contention of the
complainant be correct, in order for
him to escape taxation it would only
be necessary for him to remove his
property from the jurisdiction one day
of each year which. of course, is an
absurd contention. The assessors Of
flee, therefore. is clearly within the
law in holding that tangible personal
property, although temporarily absent
from the District during July. is tax
able here.

LOCAL MENTION.
Fighter and Farmer

The warrior in armor is Staying
fellowmen, the while the peace
full farmer goes forth to plow
again. All through the day the
former is wasting shot and shell,
and making Europe warmer than
are the gates of Hannibal, Mo.
And all day long the latter is
wrestling with the soil, and
makes the welkin clatter with
sounds of useful toll. The farmer
cleans his horses, and gathers
luscious eggs, the soldiers max
ing corses, and wounding peoples
legs. The farmer fills his mang-
ers with good and wholesome
hay, the soldier butchers strang
ers for IS cents day. The farm
er "sets" his biddy, and leads a
useful life, the soldiers leaves a
WILDLY where was happy wife.
The farmer props the nation and
builds the smiling town, the sol
dier earns his ration by burning
buildings down. The man who
lives on danger, and leaves a trail
OF woe, looks cheap beside the
granger. whose weapon is the
hoe. The soldier with his saber
should be ashamed to meet the
peaceful men who labor to raise
the corn and wheat.

TRY TO ADJUST BRIDGE
CLAIM AGAINST RAILWAY
District Heads Submit Report to
Senate on Case of East Wash
ington Heights Traction.

Renewed effort has been made by the
District Commissioners to adjust the
financial differences between the munic-
ipality and the East Washington Heights
Traction Railroad Company growing out
of the use by the company of the Penn
sylvania Avenue bridge spanning the
Anacostia river.
Under its charter, requiring it to pay
one-haf the cost of maintaining the
bridge, the company has been rendered
bills to and including December 81 last
amounting to sS,553.67 OF this amount
it has paid but s2,522.70.
Claiming that earnings were not suf-
fcient to enable it to live up to the
charter requirements, the company pro-
posed that the charter be amended so that
in the future it would be required to pay
for maintenance of the bridge only one
half of one per cent of its gross earn
ings. The proposal also stipulated that
the overdue payments be Cancelled
Favor Canceling Old Account.
In report on this suggestion, trans
mitted today to the Senate committe,
on appropriations. the District Com
missioners take the ground that tn,
payment of one-half of 1 per cent
month would be insufficient, but sa.
they would favor canceling the accoun
If the company would agree to pa.
hereafter the amount of s400 a yea
for maintenance of the bridge
1t is pointed out that the payment
already made by the company amour

ers' proposal is accompanied by a sug

MORE MAIL DELIVERIES
FOR LEXINGTON ASSURED
Purchase of Lot Near School for
Playground Urged at Citi-
zens' Association.

Promise of increased mail deliveries
was made by James B. Corridor, super
intendent of mails in the Washington
city post office, at the meeting of the
North Capitol and lexington Citizens
Association last night. held in the lee
ture hall of the lexington Presby-
terian Church, North Capitol street and
Florida avenue.
Mr.. Corridor, who is member of the
association and who was introduced
as the virtual assistant postmaster,
made this promise in correcting
statement made at the previous meet
ing by William ]. FrizzeIl that POST
master Praeger was considering reduc-
ing the mail delivery service. Mr.. Cor
ridon said there was no intention of
doing this.
There was considerable discussion
of the urgency of purchasing the lot
south of the lexington School. 1t was
decided to impress upon the Commits
sioners the advisability of prompt ac-
tion that this plot may be converted
into a playground, by closing up the
present alleyway and substituting an
other around the lot, thus providing d
much needed recreation space for the
children of the section.
For Free Dental Clinics.
A resolution introduced by DIR. S. NJ.
Angelo that Congress be requested to
provide free dental clinics in the pub
lie schools was referred to the execu-
tive committee of the association for
a report at the next meeting.
A resolution was passed calling upon
| the Commissioners to attend to Lin
coin road between r and streets,
against which there has been much
complaint.
Martin Solem introduced a resolution
| for the Commissioners to be urged to
put in sidewalks through Truxton Cir
| Gle, Florida avenue and North Capitol
| street. where two lines of cars meet,
passing all around the circle, going in
| four directions. SO that it is consid-
| cred a danger spot for foot travel
| especially as many children play about

| through. going to moving picture
