refused to leave.
Alex Herman has a reputation
in Devils Lake and the vicinity
where he has worked for a num-
Der OF years, as being a hard
working, industrious man, whose
only unfortunate characteristic
was a furious temper. He was not
a drinking man and was consid-
cred man of ordinary habits. He
worked at Mercy hospital fo.
some time where he won repu-
tation as a thrifty man. He had
also been employed at the Per-
kins and Roberts farms.
Senator Hyland was accompa-
MED by Frank Trcacy Sunday
morning when he Went out to the
farm to look things over. There
was no stir of life about the

HANGS WIFE, sTRANcLEs
BOY, TAKES OWN LIFE

Devils Lake, N. d., May iO.-A
triple tragedy without the trace
of a plausible motive, with only
an uncomfortable temper to ex-
plain the horrible deed, occurred
Saturday night at the Alex Her.
man farm three miles northeast
of Devils Lake. Today the bodies
of Herman, his wife, and i2-year-
old Roy Hanley who lived at the
Herman place, lie i'm a local
morgue awaiting only the formal
verdict of a cOrOner's jury to
close the case.
That Alex Herman murdered
his wife and the Hanley boy and
then hung himself is the conclu-
sion of Sheriff Martin and Coron-
er E. w. Gilbertson.
The ten-mOnths old baby was
the only living being OH the place
spared. Sunday morning when the
gruesome discovery was made by
Senator Frank H. Hyland, from
whom Herman rented. The little
babe was found, nestled down by
it's mothers side, unable to con-
ceive the tragedy which left it an
orphan. The body of the Hanley
boy, who is the son of w. NJ.
Hanley, a local boilernaker en-
ployed by the Great Northern, was
found in the barn where the boy
had been strangled. Laying near
it, with the head held just far en-
ough, from the floor to permit
strangulation, was the body of
Herman. A harness strap was
used in the execution.
Clothing, which she had made
for the child which she bore for
Alex Herman, was used by him
in making crude rope to hang
her. The woman's hands were
tied behind her rendering her
helpless. A moose was then fast
ened around the top of a bed post
and slowly the life was checked
from her.
The last person, so far as can
be ascertained, to see Herman
alive, was Ernest Gund, who lives

On planning your trip, be sure

just out side of the city on the
road which leads to the Hyland
farm. En- route home Saturday ev-
ening Herman stopped at the
Gund farm between and 9 o.
clock completing arrangements
for securing seed for a field which
he was renting from Gumd. Plans
were made for the weeks work
and so far as the Gund family as
certained Herman was in normal
condition in every way. 1t was ap-
parent from the living room that
Mrs. Herman and Roy Hanley had
finished their supper. One place
was left at the table apparently
for Herman. 1t appears that the
boy and Mrs. Herman had retired,
two beds in the little bedroom
having been occupied.
The scant clothing on the wo-
mans body leads to the belief
that she arose from bed to get
her husbands supper. That an
alteration occurred and that
Herman flew into a range which
was in reality a fit of insanity, is
the conclusion. 1t is believed the
boy flew from the house. His
body was only partially clad. That
he was followed to the barn where
the second murder occurred, is
the belief. The position of the
body, the crude manner of the ex-
ecutiOn and general circumstan-
ces leaves no other conclusion
than that Herman took his own
life.
Mrs. Herman was the sister of
Mrs. Frank Altman who with her
husband and family reside on the
westside. Her parents reside at
Ipswich, S. d., where Peter Mas
tai, her father, is we'll known
farmer. She was hard working,
thrifty house wife. She mraried
Herman in February, 1914, when
they We're both employed at Mer-
cy hospital. From there they went
to the Gunf farm where Mrs.
Herman won admiration for her
neat, industrious manner. She
was very we'll thought of by Mr..
and Mrs. Gund. The little baby
was born at the Gund farm last
August. In the fall Herman Sc
cured an outfit and rented The
Hyland farm which he was hand
ting in a very satisfactory man-
ner. The crop on the farm was
all planted and he had arranged
to rent a small tract from Gund.
During the winter it was known
the family was in hard circuln-
stances, but they were never in
want. 1t is reported that only a
short time ago they received a
substantial sum of money from
Mrs. Herman's father.

and married VIM. l.. Wilton, after
which we moved to Bismarck
where Mr.. Wilton was employed
for some years by L. G. Green as
clerk in the old Custer hotel which
then stood midway between Main
street and Broadway directly
across from where the 500 hotel
now stands. After, the Custer
hotel burned Mr.. Wilton was en-
ployed for a while in the Ross
dairy in Bismarck. In 1898 we
moved into the country once more

of Menoken and finally when my
father died in 1901 we moved
back on the old home place in
Boyd township where we have
lived ever since.
