Three Company X
Boys Injured By
RunaWay Horse

AS announced in telegraphic mes
sage from the Mexican border last
week, three Company X boys were
quite badly injured when horse
ridden by a Nebraska Guardsman ran
away. The boys were encamped near
Harlingen, Texas, resting from a long
hike when the accident happened.
The maddened horse dashed down
the avenue Of tents, the first man to
be injured being Leon Stuck, who
was struck in the chest and rendered
unconscious. Glen Hollenbeck, VINO
happened to be in the path of the
frightened animal, was stepped on
and for time it was feared that
the young soldiers leg was broken.
Thompson, just emerging from a pup
tent, was hit on the head, and as a
result of the impact bit his own
tongue quite badly. All three of the
boys were given hospital attention
and are recovering in splendid shape
from their injuries.
The young Nebraska man who rode
the horse was thrown to the ground,
sustaining three broken ribs.

HANGS SELF
FOLLOWING
JEALOUS FIT
DEAD BODY OF JACOB DINIITS
FOUND Angling TO A
CLOTHES LINE.
Body Found on the Morning Follow
ing Service of Divorce Papers
BY Wife.

Jacob Dinius, SIS years of age, took
ms own life by hanging some time
during Friday night, at his home in
the eastern portion of the city. He
was living alone at the time and his
body, cold in death, was not discov-
ercd until Saturday morning, when
Mrs. Hciser, a relative, went to the
mouse with the intention of inquiring
why the window shades were drawn.
The door was locked, but she man.
aged to look in through the glass and
saw the body hanging from a rope.
She hurricdly notified her brother,
Dominick Fisher, who in turn called
the sheriff and coroner.
Dinius had evidently planned self
destruction with deliberation, as his
body was found hanging from a
doubled clothes line, fastened in the
garret to a nail, which he had evil
IDENTIFY driven just before committing
the deed, as the hammer was left
nearby. He evidently formed the
moose while up in the garret and
placed it about his neck, later jump
ing to the floor below. Although the
rope was so long that the lower por-
ton of the body rested on the floor,
the neck was broken and death had
undoubtedly been instantaneous
The rash act was the outcome of a
series of quarrels with his wife, of
whom he had been insanely jealous
in late years. The matter came to a
climax in September while they were
attending the wedding of a son north
of Dickinson. At that time Dinius
accused his wife of infdelity. This
the wife resented and desperate
quarrel followed, the wife finally be-
ing ordered from the house. She has
since been residing with a son.
A few days ago she commenced
proceedings for divorce and on Fri
day the papers were served upon the
husband. That same night he took
his life, leaving a note pinned to the
divorce papers, on which was written
; in a foregn language, Mrs. Dinius
was to blame for his act and that she
could now have her freedom, so it is
alleged.
Deceased and family came to North
Dakota from Russia in 1891 and
homesteaded the southwest quarter of
section 4-141-96. They prospered and
later purchased. another section of
land. Three years ago they sold out
their holdings and purchased resi-
dence in cast Dickinson. Nine chill
dren survive, besides Che wife.
