SLAYER OF FARMER
SOUGHT BY POLICE

Robinson. N. D., Dec. 21.-Cleon
Nash, murderer OF Clarence Hicks,
by the confession he made to his
wife when came to his own home
stead after visiting Hicks lonely
cabin on his farm a mile distan;.
has either perished In the terrific
b;';;ard that swept this district
Thursday night. or he has success
lully made his way out OF the coun-
try.
That Is the belief of officials who
have been chasing Nash since the
cold blooded murder of Hicks was
reported to them
Investigation leads to the conclu-
sion that the murder grew out OF !,
long standing quarrel between the
men. which. several months ago,
took violent form. the two engag .ng
In fight wherein Nash stabbed
Hicks. Both men were drunk on
that occasion.
Details Of the tragedy, az obtain
Ell by officials from Mrs. Nash, and
the last only eye witness to q por-
ton OF the affair. indicate that Nash
left his home and went to Hicks
cabin for tho express purpose OF
killing him
his wife he had killed Hicks, and
companion. answered knock at tho
door. he opened It to find Nash
standing before him, gun In hand.
Get out Of here or I'll kill you.'"
Nash is said to have commanded
Brandt. Brandt ran from the
place. hearing Hicks pleading at the
moment with Nash. to spare his
life. A momen, later there was 4
single shot.
Mash returned to his home. told
his wife no had killed Kicks. and
ordered that she send one OF their
children to the place to find out
If Hicks was really dead"
The child returned with the story
that Hicks was seated ON a chair.
Mrs. Nash. believing the terrified
child had not gone to the cabin.
went herself to the place. there to
find the victims body, a single bull
let wound In his breast. At the
same moment. neighhors summon
ed to the scene by Brandt. arrived.
Nash, Immediately after his wife
left their place, departed. He was
traced to point five miles north.
but the terrific blizzard ended the
search and he has not been seen
since.
both men were from Kentucisya,
| and it Is believed that feud of the
; blue grass state origin may have
been responsible.

WILL INVESTIGATE :.
! STATE TERMINALS

Bismarck. N. D.; Dec. 21.-North
Dakota's board of railroad commits
sioners will Investigate the Canadian
system of handling grain. Pro-
vinces OF Canada have terminal ele4
vators. and, as the North Dakota
commissioners will have a report to
make at the coming session of the
legislature with regard to the CO.
operative system of handling grain
in that country, they will be able to
subject as result OF the investiga-
ton.
w. H. ,stutsman. Of Mandan. pres.
ident of the board: o, P, N, Ander-
son. of Starkweather, and w. H.
Mann. of New Salem, all of whom
are members Of the commission, will
meet at Grand Forks today and 90
on from there to Winnipeg. Regina
and Port Arthur. at each of which
cities terminal elevators are located
Success has been attained by the
Canadian farmers, 1t is said, in the
cooperative handling of grain. and
they have been aided by their gov
ernment In the construction of ter.
minal elevators. a factor largely re-
sponsible for their success,
The Investigation is being made
as a result OF an act of the 1915
session of the legislature, which
was approved b. the electorate al
the recent election. The act was
the result of referendum vote.
Erecting a terminal elevator, o.
a group Of elevators. Is one Of the
most imr6rtant subjects, under dis.
cussion in every section Of the state
this winter. especially In farming
communities where small grain Is
| raised in large quantities.
State. owned terminals have been
advocated by the Nonpartisan
League all through their campaign
and. as the League was successful
all along the line in electing Its
state and legislative ticket. with
but very few exceptions, there is nc
doubt but what North Dakota in
the: near future can boast Of state
| owned terminals.
During the 1915 session of the
Legislature the establishment of such
| elevators was brought Up, bu;
enough opposition developed to vote
the issue down, and, largely as a
result of this action, the Nonpar.
tisan League was organized. (.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
OF FLOATING LABORER

Minneapolis, Dec. 2l.-John Berg
whose palior and condition excited
pity when he was found staggering
about on Washington Avenue where
Policeman Wicklund picked him up
and who told Of beng locked up TO-:
ten days in d box car without food
or water. lay on a cot yesterday at
the city hospital, s:pping hot milk
from a teaspoon in the hands Of o
nurse. DR.. 8. D. Sauer who is at
tending him pronounced it a case OF
starvation. He said there is hope
for recovery despite Of starvation
and exposure in an unfeated car t.
50 degrees below zero temperature.
Eleven days ago, as nearly as can
be remembered, Berg who had been
a harvest hand but whose money
was gone decided to come to Mn
neapolis. With one sandwich and a
pint Of water which he consumed
the first day, he got into the car at
Minot, North Dakota. The car was
locked shortly after. Day and
night it was all one to him after
that, he said. He got no response
when he pounded on the sides of
the car whenever the freight train
stopped.

begun by the rabbi to have his tam

above have been devoted to the task
Hundred Of letters nave been writ

times. None of the l-tters sent to
tho rabbi by his wife or by the wife
to her husband reached the r de tin
alton, and only one of the remit"
tances was received by Mrs, Yelen.
The great source of difficulty was
that the oldest boy Rueben was
born in Poland in a dis rict that 10

empire, Finally the Imperial g1v-
ernment was prevailed upon by the
department Of state of this country

GUILTY TO ASSAULT

Minot, N. D., Dec. 21.-H. H.
Stratton, who was acquitted by a
jury in the early part of this term
Of court on the charge of robbery
yesterday entered plea Of guilty to
the charge of assault with a dan
gerOus weapon and was sentenced
to six months in the county Jail.
The case is a rather remarkable
one. Stratton was charged with the
crime Of robbery In connection with
a hold up which was pulled Off in
the west end of the. city near the
sand pit last fall. Stratton with
some negroes, led a bunch of strang-
ers who wanted to see the disreput-
able negro section at night, to that
point where they held up and. rob-
bed the party. One of the victims
who failed to get his hands up
quickly enough at tho command,
was shot in the hip,
Stratton was arrested on the
charge of robbery and at the trial
in district court, was acquitted by
the jury. The court Immediately
ordered that he be held until the
states attorney could file other
charges against him in connection
with the same crime. 1t was i'm
possible to charge him again with
robbery because he would get free on
defense of former jeopardy. In
stead he was charged with assault
with dangerous weapon, the par
ticular crime being the shooting. of
the victim during the time he with
his companion were being robbed.
1t is to this crime that he entered
a plea Of guilty. r.

county surveyor larger salary than
the statutes provide,
The governor found for the COM

these gentlemen be ousted.

their ammunition ready for immediate

London, Dec. 4-England is pre-

Premier Asquith made formal an
nouncement in the house of commons
today that King George had rendered
his assent to the Reconstruction of the
government" which a statement yes
terday had announced was in contem-
plation. What course that recon
struction" will take was not made
clear by the premier. He suggested
that all questions from members re-
garding the cabinet personnel be de-
ferred and concluded with the request
that when the house adjourned today,
it not meet again until Thursday.
Current reports late today were
that the reconstruction meant a
general change in the entire cabinet,
rather than the mere formation of an
authoritative council. This small,
compast body" for handling of the
problems of the war was the sugges-
ton first advanced by those known to
be in sympathy with David Lloyd

DR.. w. T. Galloway of Beloit college,

dress the high school students and
Washburn students this morning, and
the teachers and the educational de-

Character Building was his subject
in his address at high school this
morning. Attention, appreciation,
discrimination, self direction and a
sense of humor are the pure elements
of character" Doctor Galloway told
his high school audience. He follow
ed with rapid analysis of mental
growth, tracing from the instructive
reactions of the infant to controlled
impulses of the mature person, show
ing the increasing control of thought
and purpose, and how this control may
be achieved.
You must have a big ambition be-
