BOY SHOOTS
HIS FATHER
Quarrel Started About a Pair
of Overall.

One of the most bloody murders
committed in the annals Of Grant
county was enacted on the James
Brannen farm i'll the hills west of
Twin Brooks at about six fifteen
o'clock OIL Monday morning of this
week, when Herman r. Niles, a
sixteen year old boy fired a twelve.
gauge shotgun charge iuto the
left breast of his father, Herman G.
Niles killing him instantly. The
load of shot entered short dis
tance above the heart and severed
number of arteries and blood
vessels from which the blood gush-
ed. The father was facing the
son at the time and as the son came
out of the house he addressed him
saying, What are you going to do
with that gun" The boy stand
ing about fifteen feet distant seems
to have made no reply but immedi-
ately fired the fatal shot.
According to the testimony given
at the coroners inquest the father
remained conscious for few Sec
onds and following the shot said
to the son, Now you've done it.
What did you do that for?" He
walked about ten feet from the spot
where he was shot before dropping
to the ground. Following the shoot
ing Louis, younger son went to
the George Fister home and told of
the affair and was instructed by
Mr.. Fister to phone to DIR. Flett,
the coroner and tell him and the
boy called DR.. Flett, who was in
the country and left word for him
to come but, but notssay anything
about what had taken place. Up.

and did notlearn of the natnre of

then to get the necessary blanks

Sheriff Manley, who returned with
him.
A coroners jury was summoned
and the remains examined, Mrs.

DEMONSTRATING
ROAD GRADERS
Competing Grader Compan-
les Demonstrating.

The Adams Grader Company
of Toledo, Ohio and the Russell
Grader Co. of Minneapolis have
been giving demonstrations of
their machines to the County
Commissioners this week. Each
Company agreed to build a mile
each and the demonstrations
have been taking place along the
Meridian road east of town. The
first mile was done south of the
Torvick place, by the Adams
grader and the road is certainly
a dandy. Thursday and Friday
the Russell Grader is at work on
a stretch near Paul Siewert's
place. The graders are being
drawn by gas engine.
The Commissioners purchased
a Twin City 1890 engine and
will purchase two graders for
county work. At their last meet
ing several road contractors were
present and wanted 1924 q mile
to build roads. The Commis-
sioners figured that was very
steep price and that when the
roads were completed there
would be nothing to Keep them
in shape. By purchasing the
engine and graders at about
81, 500 the roads can be built con.
siderable cheaper, az only about
five men are needed with the out
fit and when completed the coun-
ty would have the roads and the
machinery to keep them up with.
1t 10 estimated that about :
mile day canbe completed.
4 Her mind overtaxed by the de-
struction of the family home by
fire and the burning to death Of q
little daughter, Mrs. E. E. Moore
wife of Marshall county farmer
ended her life by choking herself
to death. She took the sheet off
the bed tore it in two pieces, then
went into coal shed in the rear of
the house, tied the fragment of
sheet to beam overhead, stood on
a coal schuttle and drew the shest
: up tightly and then kicked the
coal schuttle from under her. The
unfortunate woman slowly choked
to death and had been dead some
time when found. She is survived
by her husband, a baby only few
days old and three other children.
The family formerly lived in Miss
ouri where the remains were shipp-
ed for interment.

ting him down and when the father
gained his liberty he went outside
and returned with shovel, with
which he struck his wife over the
head rendering her unconscious.
The testimony from this point as
given by the boy showed that he
then went up stairs and procured
the gun which he had loaded from
the Saturday previous and stepping
outside the door, shot his father.
The story as told by the other
four children was substantiously
the same as that told by the mother
and Herman. Little Lola aged 10
years added to her testimany that
the father had said that if it wasn't
for the sin of God" he would kill
the whole family that the law could
not stop him. The testimony all
through and the stories told by
neighbors seem to agree that the
dead man had had checkered ca
reer aud that peace and harmony
had not reigped in his home and he
frequently would be absent for days.
The only reason the boy gave for
his act of Monday morning was a
desire to help his mother and he
has not exhibited any remorse a
any time since.
Following the inquest the boy
was brought to this city andis be.
ing held at the county Jail. He will
be given a hearing before Justice
Nixon this morning.
The remains of the father were
prought to the Emanuel undertak-
ing parlors and the funeral was held
+ ro M there yesterday, short
service being held. Interment was
made in the Milbank cemetery.
Herman G. Niles was fifty six
years old and had lived in Roberts
county for many years, recently
removing to this county. Heleaves

age from eight to sixteen years.

Ten Innings 10 to 9

The headline tells the results
of that much talked of game,
played last Sunday ON the local
diamond, between the mar ried
and single men.
The Housekeepers had first
bat and failed to score. In the
second half the Singles crossed
home plate five times. And
then the Apron String Danglers
got up their "dander" and along
about the fourth inning run in
five tying the score.
1t was a splendid game and
nick and tuck up to the nineth,
when the score stood 60 and
then the fun began. The Mop
Wringers played base ball but in
the tenth the boys got the best
of the old fellows and scored.
AS near as we can get the
names of the players the line up
is something like this, altho we
believe there were changes DUR
ing the game as Doc Williams
wasn't there from the start but

ANOTHER Big
IMPROVEMENT
Sanitary Bottling Works Will
Have Modern Place

ST. Aldridge, manager of the
Sanitary Bottling Works, re-
turned on Saturday from Fergus
Falls, where he went to consult
H. M. Knight, president of the
company, regarding making inn
provements in the place.
AS the place is very low where
the building is now located, and
they are oft times troubled with
flooded floors during heavy
rains, it was decided to raise the
building about four feet and put
in cement floor. In addition
to this the second story floor
will be taken out and a balcony
built for the labatory. This
will give more room ON the
ground floor to enable them to
handle the increasing business.
Several new pieces of machinery
will be added.
| A one ton auto truck has also
been ordered, which will enable
them to make prompt deliveries
to towns in the north part of the
county, where before it was
necessary to drive with team
and was an all days job.
The Sanitary Bottling Works
under the management of Mr.
Aldridge, has grown to be one
the best bottling works in this
section of the country-we in
clude Minnesota and North Da
kota--and there is a steadily
growing demand for their pro
ducts.

PLAIN MAINE DIET
PUT INTO SPANISH
Charles Emery Butler, Supreme
Court Reporter, Translates Good
Food Into Fancy Language.

On the first day of January every
year Charles Henry Butler. official re-
porter of decisions of the Supreme
Court of the United States. bids his
friends to his house at 1885 / street
to partake of a treat in the nature of
a breakfast composed of the finest
products of his farm down east in
Maine"
All the baked beans and pie and roast
pig come from Montsweag farm. which
is evidently one of the delights of the
state of Maine. This year Mr.. Butler
transformed his Montsweag affair into
an entertainment for some of the dele
gates to the second Pan-American Sci
entific Congress.
Same Food. But Different Name
The combination tasted exactly as
good as it did a year ago, but 1t
locked different on the menu. For
instance. what native of Androscog-
gin county would recognize his favorite
breakfast dish of apple pie If 1t were
disguised as Pastel de Manzanas de
Montsweag?" Or could even a Boston
school teacher recognize "Frijoles de
Montsweag, Estilo Nuevo Engleterra"
as her own Hub City's pride and Joy
the succulent baked bean?
And where is the railroad restaurant
waiter in all this broad land who
would recognize his own favorite
slogan of eggs, any STYLE" if it were
swathed in the delicate Spanish phrase,
''Huevos de Montsweag. varios estilos'?
And roast pig. shades of Ella, from way
down east tasted lust like roast pig
tastes on the Montsweag farm, but
who would recognize it travelling as
"Lechoncillo asado de Montsweag?
And at the end of the purely pam
American Yankee Spanish menu was
the announcement, Cafe Ono de Mont
sweag) cigarros v puros," for which a
liberal translation would be: Coffee
and cigars. but these at least are not
from Montsweag."
The menus were attractively designed
