MURDERED GIRL IN

T. G. MOI FORCED ALMA GUT

EXONERATING HIMSELF THEN
MURDERS HER-PUTS BULLET
IN OWN HEAD.

Park River, N. D., July 12.-T. G.
Moi, aged 35, of Bemidji, Mimi, MUIR
dered Miss Alma Gutterud, aged 10,
of Thief River Falls, Mimi, and then
killed himself, at the David Aitken
farm, two and a half miles north of
Park River, yesterday afternoon.
Two blows upon the head with 4
blunt instrument of some kind, one
of which fractured the girls head,

own temple, killed Moi
Tragedy in Bedroom.
Both bodies were lying across the
bed in Moi's room. Both were fully
clothed and evidently, with other
members of the household absent, Moi
had forced the girl into his room
where the terrible tragedy was enact
ed-sometime between the hours of 2
and o'clock Sunday afternoon. Dis
covery of the double crime was made
about 5 o'clock by farm hand, John
Snow, who came home after spending
the day in the city, to find the house
locked. He succeeded in making his
way in and found the two dead bodies.
Jealousy to Blame.
That he believed farm hands on the
Aitken farm, of which he was fore
man, and where the girl was employ
| ed as a servant maid, had interfered
with his suit for the girls favors, is
shown by Moi's several letters. One
of these is addressed to David Ait
ken, Moi's employer. To Aitken, Moi
wrote as follows:
"Forgive the trouble am causing
but my honor is at stake, I forgive
the boys for the trouble they have
caused me this summer. May God
forgive them as hope he will for.

"Not Going Alone"
To his sister, Mrs. D. L. Sjugstad
Of Mcintosh, Mimi, he wrote:
"I am going to another world, but
am not going alone. The person
who caused this is going with me, be-
cause it is her choice. May God b.
lenient with her."
The statement which Moi forced
the girl to sign follows:
ri, the undersigned, do not blam.
T. G. Moi for the treatment he CAV,
me, for I was to blame, in part, my
self" This letter was written by Moi
the girl writing her own name with
trembling hand, indicating that Mo
probably was then threatening he,
with death.

An Electric Cleaner
Does Your Work Better

No amount of sweeping can get all the
CRIME out of a carpet or rug. It simply
rubs it in deeper. An Electric Cleaner on the
other hand sucks the dust, particles of sand, and
other dirt out of the fabric, leaving it clean and
unchanged. The operation of an electric Cleaner
is simplicity itself.requiring strenuous labor,
causing no tired backs or arms. If your home is
wired for Electricity by all means get Electric
Cleaner today If it is not wired there is better
time than now to have it completely equipped.

The strip in litigation is of great value to the county which possesses it, for beside it's value in natural resources. it contains a portion of the main line of the Southern Pa cific road and also some of the Santa F'es Parker line, and these lines are good to possess when taxation time comes each year and the county that happens to hold it will be entitled to several thousand dollars in taxes.

'tion regarding manufactures furnished
by the Bureau of the Census every five
years. The census officials fully real
ize its value, but neither the Census
Bureau nor the Children's Bureau has
funds to make the tabulatiOn that
would render this body of human facts
available for use"
Meanwhile the Children's Bureau is
pursuing its inquiry into the relations
of babies deaths to wages and social
conditions believing that the inquiry
will prove increasingly valuable as
stimulus to more active protection of
the youngest and tenderest lives
throughout the Nation
Such practical results have already
followed the inquiry in two communi-
ties as the securing of infant-welfare
nurses, improving the milk supply. and
rousing community interest in kindred
activities.
The Bureau also approaches the
problem of infant mortality in a con.
structive fashion through two pamDh-
lets entitled Parental Care and Infant
Care, which are sent upon request to
individual mothers.
