and received an advance of $40 from
the bank.
The Cando bank passed the check,
but almost at once discovered the
forgery and phoned the local bank not
to turn over the cash. Just as Reiser
was boarding a train for the east, Of
ficers received word to arrest him for
the murder of Fink. A bank clerk
located the man for the officers.
Reiser told the sheriff he had never
been in Jail before and that he
wanted to make clean breast Of it.
He and Fink had been chums all
their lives, their families living to-
gether in Hungary. They came to
St. Paul in 1902, and worked during
harvest near Cando, going west to
Missoula, Butte and Bozeman, and
then out in the country 20 miles to
Salesville, where they were "batch-
ing" it while looking for work. .
The night Of the tragedy, he said,
they quarreled over the bed covers,
Fink claiming Reiser had more than
his share. The quarrel waxed furious,
Reiser says, and Fink fired at him,
but missed; then Fink took an ak and
struck him, mjuring his arm. Reiser
says he then got the ak and hit Fink
over the head and killed him. He had
receipts and papers belonging to
Fink and two watches, two suits OF
clothes, etc.
Reiser is about 38 and has wife
and child in Hungary.
Sheriff D. E. Gray Of BoZeman,
Mont, arrived on Sunday and re-
turned the following day, taking the
prisoner with him. Reiser did not
fight extradition. The undertaken
who prepared the body of Fink for
burial, accompanied Sheriff Gray
The sheriff somewhat secuted the
prisoners plea that Fink was killed
in self defense. He said that ap.
pearances in the cabin did not beal
out Reiser's statement.
Story of the Crime
The following dispatch from Boze.

names were first given out, th'
murdered man was called Reiser
The identification was made complete
by j. c. Martin, a rooming house
keeper in Butte, at whose place tn,
two men stayed for a month.
The coroner's inquest developed
very little that was new in the cas-
4 further than identified ation, and NJ
light was thrown on the motive Q,

Of the jury was that Fink came II
his death, BY the operation Of som,
blunt instrument between 81 p. M,
4 December 22nd and noon Of Decem
ber 23rd, at the hands Of person t
the jury then unknown. The juror
q recommended that Reiser be appre
hended. A #5!s

CHECK F0RGER GETS
AWAY WITH MONEY

Several weeks ago man giving
his name as Chas. Osborne, was en-
gagged as a hired man on the Mark
Ambrust farm in Dunn county. Just
before Christmas Mr.. Ambrust de-
cided to dispense with the mans serv-
ices, as the heavy work was over and
as consequence drove him in to
Dickinson and paid him off in cash.
Osborne evidently was not satisfied
that he had enough money, however
as he went to work and forged two
checks on a local bank with which Mr.
Ambrust keeps an account. One
check was for $14 and the other for
$18. Both were cashed in local bust
ness places, and were finally returned
to the bank and cashed. It was not
discovered until a few days later that
a forgery had been committed. When
Mr.. Ambrust checked up with the
bank at the end, of the month, the
crime was Of course discovered, anc
warrant issued for Osborne's ar.
rest. By this time he had left the
country, however, and SO far the
local authorities have been unable tt
locate his whereabouts.
Sheriff Brown went to Valley Cit!
on Saturday, in answer to informa
tion that q man of similar description
and name was there. This proved tx
be the wrong man, however, and tn
sheriff returned early Monday morn

fractured in two places. The accident
occurred last Saturday when they
were loading hay into the NOW. Mr.

SPECIAL FISH TRAIN
PASSES THROUGH CITY

A special train Of forty-four cars
of Pacific coast canned salmon just
completed fast run over the North
ern Pacific railway from Seattle to
St. Paul. The cargo consisted of
10000 cases, or 100000 cans,
shipped by P. E. Harris of Seattle,
to Chicago and various other eastern
cities.
This train arrived in Dickinson at
$40 a. M, on Tuesday in charge Of
Conductor Martin, and left an hour
later under the care of Conductor
Eden.
Silk specials have been of quite
frequent occurrence, but a fish special
is a little out Of the ordinary, and of
more than passing notice.

HOME Of KlLDEER
FARMER BURNED DOWN

Henry Erbe, we'll known farmer
residing west Of Killdeer, suffered
heavy loss recently when his farm
home was destroyed by fire, the origin
of which is unknown. His supply OF
hay, which was stacked near the
buildings, also burned. Coming at
this time of the year when both
home and supplies are of vital neces-

Foster school in Taylor school dis
trict, and is located about three miles
northwest Of Richardton. Miss Eliza
beth McInnis of Dickinson is the

The Dickinson press., 1916-01-08

Evidence in the condition Of the
body and of the cabin was abundant
that the battle Of the dead man to
save his life had been prolonged. He
was vanquished only when he had
been cut and pounded to an incredible
degree. S},.

The thoughtful Highlander, who,
at this season grows reminiscent
and retrospective. will find nothing
in the old year to discourageor dis
hearten, There have been sore in
dividual sorrows and bereavemants
but as "A people, Highland has heet
abundantly blessed and highly fay
ored. There have been no disaster
or epidemics, and the year was mos
fruitful, prosperous one. Good
prices were realized for all COM
modities, and people have added
comforts and conveniences to theil
home life. Communities have Leer
brought closer together as a result
of goth century ideas and devices
and this should promote sociabllitI
and oodzfelloHsiip, cause "the
milk of human kindness to flow
more generously, and tend to unity
effort and purpose along utilltarian,
progressive and moral lines.

Ireland, the railway is still more OF
less Of mystery to him. Therefore,
when he was forced to journey to
Cork, his master gave him particular
and precise instructions how the jour.

Above all, he counseled him to be
careful that his ticket was not stolen
from him. All went we'll till, at his
destination, Michael was asked for his
ticket.
He kept his eye steadily On the Of

Rev. James Clark she united with

For five months prior to her
death, aunt Lydia was a constant
sufferer, but she realized that her
Master whom she had trusted
through her whole life had prom
ised to lead her safely through the
Valley of the Shadows. She never
complained and always had some
kind word for all who visited her.

SAFETY FOR THE WOUNDED
BuIIet-Proof stretcher DEVISED for Sol.
dlers Who Have to Be Carried
From the Front.

Fighting conditions have become so
strenuous in the war zone that there
is no certainty when or where hospital
attendants or Red Cross men will be
given immunity from attack when per.
forming their duties of rescuing the
wounded, and this is especially the
case when working between the lines
of opposing trenches, for the ever
present "sniper" is always on the look
out for victim. To meet these condi
tons bullet-proof stretcher cover has
been invented, which appears to meet
the conditions perfectly. This consists
of long metal shield, arched at the
top, and high enough to enable the
attendants to stand upright within.
At the front end the shield is rounded
and sloped backwards to defect bull
let's. and two "eyes" are provided
through which the attendants can see
to direct their course and locate the
wounded. The whole contrivance Is
mounted on four wheels, and is pro-
vided with arrangements for support
ing a stretcher. With this contrivance
two hospital attendants can make their
way in safety over a field exposed to
rifle fire, and after rolling the shield
over wounded soldier, he is placed
on the stretcher, when a retreat is
made to place of safety.
