DEXTER BUNDAY SHOT
Following Dispute over Completion Of
School Building

The sad news was received here last
Thursday that Dexter w. Bunday, a
former resident of this city, was shot
and killed by a building contractor at
Bole, Montana.
The trouble arose over the compile
ton of a school building which was
contracted for by the school board
about six months ago. 1t is said that
the contract called for the completion
of the building within forty days after
the date of the contract but the con-
tractors had failed to fulfill the con-
tract and as a result the residents of
Bole had been bounding Mr.. Bunday,
who was president OF the school board,
to compel the contractors to finish the
building. Mr.. Bunday went to the new
building Thursday morning about
eight-thirty to have the contractors put
stoves in the building to dry the plas-
ter and when he met Contractor Pyatt
it is said that Pyatt said: "Ill fix you"
and accordingly he clenched with Mr..
Bunday and it is said drew a pistol
from his pocket and shot Mr.. Bunday
about an inch below the heart. After
the shot was fired Pyatt picked Mr..
Rup9ay up and said he would assist
him TO the hospital. Mr.. Bunday said:
Why did you shoot me-" Pyatt, it is
said replied 81 did not shoot you, you
shot yourself" Mr.. Bunday was taken
to the hospital and it is said that
Pyatt had some of the attendants at
the hospital patch up his face in an
effort to establish a pretence that Mr..
Bunday had injured him and he shot
Mr.. Bunday in self defense. 1t is re-
ported that it failed to work and
Pyatt was placed in Jail and denied
bond.
Every effort possible was made to
save Mr.. Bunday's life but the best
surgical skill proved futile and he died
last Friday morning at II o'clock.
ON receipt Of the news of Mr.. Bun
days death Walter Carpenter Of Estel-
line, a brother of Mrs. Bunday, hur-
ried to Bole and the body was shipped
to Brookings, arriving here Wednes-
day night. Mrs. Bunday and her two
little sons, Merle and Max, also &C
the hodv
Mr.. Bunday is survived by his wife
and two sons, Merle, age Is and Max,
age 6, his father, d. Bunday, of Het-
land; and seven brothers, Jerrie Of
Hetland; Ansel F., of Br%ookings; Gil
bert, of Luverne; Joseph, of Cakes,
North Dakota; Durlen, Of Campbell,
Mimi; Sidney. of Arlington; and
Myron, of Bruce.
The funeral services will be held at
the Methodist church Friday afternoon
at two o'clock under the auspices Of
the Masonic lodge. The funeral ad-
dress will be delivered by Rev. r. A.
Bruce, pastor of the Methodist church.
The remains will be inferred in the
Greenwood cemetery.
Mrs. Bunday will return to Bole in
a short time and close up the business
affairs of Mr.. Bunday and will doubt
less return to Brookings and make her
home here.

GOVERNOR
OF OAKOTAS DEAD
DR.. WILLIAM JAYNE WAS AP-
POINTED BY LINCOLN IN
APRIL, 1861
WAS A PERSONAL FRIEND OF LINCOLN
Established the First Executive office
Of Territory In Log Cabin at
Yankton

Springfield, ILL.,, March 20.-Dr. VIM.
Jayne, territorial governor of the Da-
kotas under President Abraham Lin
coin, whose personal friend he was,
died here today following a fall on an
icy sidewalk last January. He was SO
years old.
DR.. Jayne was appointed governor
of the territory of Dakota in April,
1861. following Lincoln's Inauguration
to the presidency. He went to Yank-
ton in June, accompanied by William
Shaffer, United States marshal, and
established the executive office in 4
log structure on Broadway opposite
the Ash hotel. This log structure thus
became the first capitol building of
Dakota, inasmuch as the governor be-
gan the work of organization in that
humble structure, and made it his
domicile. officially and personally, for
a number of weeks. He had no author
ity to locate the capital and the organic

government further than to authorize
the Legislative assembly to locate it. AS
the Legislative assembly was not yet in
existence, the governor carried the
seat Of the government with him and
ISSUED his proclamations and official
documents from the Town of Yank-
ton"
Governor Jayne then proceeded with
out delay to set the wheels of govern
ment in motion. His first official act
was the appointment of persons to
take the census of the territory. Ac-
cording to the compilations made by
the men he assigned to the duty, Da-
kota territory, now comprising the
states of North and South Dakota, then
had a population of 2,376.
Following the taking of the census,
governor Jayne proceeded to issue a
proclamation, dividing the territory in
to legislative districts and calling an
election of members to the legislative
assembly and a delegate to congress-,
and a second proclamation creating
judicial districts and assigning the
judges.
At the time of his appointment to the
governorship, William Jayne was about
80 years Of age. He was a physician
and had enjoyed an extensive practice
in Sangamon county, Illinois, his home
being at Springfield. He was an active
man, in vigorous health and wore a
beard, which was Of a dark brown
color. He was a man of liberal educa-
ton and Of practical ability. He was
the candidate of the republican and
union party for delegate to congress
against General Todd in 1862, and was
awarded the certificate of election by
the territorial board of c%anvassers.
General Todd contested his right to
the seat. Jayne was given the seat in
January, 1864, but lost it upon the
final hearing a few months later, con-
gress allowing the Red River vote,
which was in Todd's favor. He then
returned to his former home in Spring
field, ILL.,, where he remained until his
death. He was several times elected
mayor of the city and at the age Of SO
was a member of the state board of
charities and corrections.

Home owners who wish to get the
best results from their lawns should
begin to work on them early in March,
according to the lawn specialist of the

many people delay giving any atten-

Their becomes warm, and thus lose an
opportunity to take advantage of melt
ing nov and the alternate night freez-
