fued Between TwoMen
Led to Trouble at Ross

Ross, Nov. 3.-Alfred Olson was
probably fatally shot about o'clock
last night by William Crowder of this
place. Crowder is being held in Jail
pending the results of the wound Oh
son is not expected to live.
The affray is the result of an old
though smouldering feud between the
two men. Olson is said to have been
more or less under the influence of
liquor and last night he followed
Crowder to his home. After Crowder
had entered his gate he pulled his
gun and shot Olson, the bullet taking
effect in the body.
There has been considerable ill
feeling between the two men for a
long time, and while they have had
no serious trouble before they have
been in receptive mood for it almost
all the time.

Mystery in Shooting
Of Fl. Clark Farmer

Mandan, Nov. 2.-County and state
officials are today busy trying to un-
! ravel the mystery of who shot v NJ.
Brazda, Fort Clark farmer. Bradza is
; now in the Mandan hospital suffering
with rifle bullet wound through the
fleshy part of his back.
Wednesday afternoon, Bradza with
a son and neighbor, were hunting
ducks in the vicinity of Mandan lake.
BradZa, crouchlng over, was sneaking
through the brush and reeds towards
the lake bank when some unknown
party shot him. The bullet entered
the back few inches to the left of
the spinal column and passed through
the feshy part and out the left side
EraZda yelled to those who were hunt
ing with him and they rushed to his
side and then took him home.
AS soon as possible they returned
to the lake bottoms and made a thor
ough search for the person who did
the shooting. No one was found. How.
ever they discovered a tent in the
woods, but could find no trace of the
owner.
Chief Game Warden w. F. Reko to-
day declared he is positive that the
tent belongs to a couple Of hunters
who have been after deer in the Mis-
souri, river bottoms, and that in his
opinion the person with the rifle took
snap shot at Brazda believing him
to be a deer moving through the BRUSH
A thorough investigation is due
Chief Game Warden Reko offers a lib
eral reward for information leading to
the arrect of the shooter. The deer
season does not open until 1920 and
there is fine of 500 for anyone hunt
ing deer before that time
