Charley DuVall Able to Free
Himself of Charge of Fargo
Man - Has Perfect Alibi
For a Defense.

John Wyman, the Fargo man who
is accused by police and state officials
of having set the fire which did con-
siderable damage to his home in Far
go early last Saturday morning, made
an attempt to fasten the crime on
Charley DuVall
The motive alleged by Wyman was
revenge. 1t seems that DuVall was
run down last fall by Wyman in his
auto and was considerably injured. He
gave the malice engendered by this
accident as the motive for the COM
mission of the crime by DuVall.
When officers appeared to sift the
charge Charley was at first non-pluss-
ed, as an alibi would involve the prov
ing of his whereabouts from II p. m.
to 2 a. m. on the night of Friday,
March 10. He could not, on the spur
of the moment, name those whom he
had seen after II p. m. Later, how
ever, he was able to recall seven men
who would vouch for his presence in
Valley City after the last eastbound
Northern Pacific train had left. The
affidavits of these men are now made
out and forwarded to State Fire Mar
shall Runge, at Fargo.
DuVall is to be congratulated on be-
ing able so easily to clear himself of
the charge.

Bismarck, March 23.-The following
letter from Walter Reed, manager Of

his letter Mr.. Reed says:

ing questions in your letter. I might

the result of his foresight; mine was
his experience as a basis. But his
faith in North Dakota never wavered
after he had seen the sod broken and
the first crop grown. Still I know
that to the day of his death he never
realized one-half it's possibilities. And
believe few Of us now have any ade-
quate conception of North Dakota's
future.
