SUICIDES
With GUN
JOHN SAMEK TIES STRING TO
TRIGGER AND TOE AND
DISCHARGES GUN
Shot Tears Through Left Breast and
Death Comes Quickly. Was
Alone at. Time

John K. Samek, 34z years old, a
Russian, who had been in this country
for 9 years, committed suicide Mon
day morning by shooting himself
through the left breast with a single
barreled shot gun. Samek was alone
in the house at the time on his
farm, % miles north of Dickinson
His brother, who lived in the same
house, was in town and Samek's wife
was on a visit to her parents. Tying
a string to the trigger of the gun,
Samek is supposed to have taken off
his shoe and looped the other end OF
the string, about his big toe. Direct
ing the gun at his breast, he exerted
pressure on the string. The ball en-
tered his left breast just above the
heart and death must have quickly
followed the deed. ,
He was found by his brother who
returned home about 5, o'clock that
evening. The body was cold. The
corpse was buried in the Bohemian
cemetery Wednesday,.
A step-brother, Anton Lisko, who
conducts a blacksmith shop on the
South Side, says that Samek was
married last June and, as far as he
knew, no domestic troubles followed
the union. He says he knows Of no
cause why the young man should have
taken his own life, except that the
latter had been morose for some
time. Mrs. Samek's maiden name
was Rosa Roller.

SUPPOSED SLACKERS
DISMISSED TUESDAY
IN FEDERAL COURT

Henry Erbe of Dunn county and
Morton LeRud, formerly Of Wiscon-
sin, charged with having registered in
the wrong districts on June with
the intention of evading call to the
colors, were dismissed by Commits
sioner j. A. Palmer in the Federal
court at Halliday last Tuesday, upon
recommendation Of District Attorney
John Carmody.
The two boys, being in Dickinson on
registration day, applied to the reg
istrar, County School Superintendent
Charles Ward, who testified that he
had advised the boys that they had
right to register in Shis district.
Soon rumors spread that the two 41en
had come here expressly to register,
knowing that but a small number
of men would be called from this
district, as it had already contributed
a large volunteer list. Their arrest
followed. Attorney L. A. Simpson ap-
peared for the defendants and force
fully presented the utter absurdity of
the charge.
Erbe will be assigned to Killdeer
while LeRud will hold himself sub
ject to call from Elroy, Wis. Sheriff
Ted Hartung was also a witness for
the boys. Three other boys regis
tered in this district but, owing to
the outcome Of this case, they will
not be moleSted.

STATES ATTORNEY
BURGESON C0NVICTS
ON BOOZE STATUTE

The first case in this county touch
ing the statute forbidding the carry
ing of booze into this state, came up
in the district court last Mesday when
Skinny" Brown plead guilty of
bringing liquor in to the state. He
had a preliminary hearing before City
Magistrate Sterland Monday and, at
that time, plead not guilty. In the
district court, however, he acknow-
lodged his guilt and was fined $500
and given 90 days in Jail.
Brown was arrested Monday by
Chief of Police McDonough at the
railway station, where he had a jug
of whiskey and several bottles. He
made no admission to the police but
a label on the Jug bore the name of
a Wibaux drug firm and, when States
Attorney Burgeson threatened to get
in communication with the special
agent in that city, Brown confessed.
Mr.. Burgeson says that he has in
formation that a great deal of
whiskey is being brought into this
state, especially into Dickinson, and
he says that he is going to make it
hot for malefactors if operations in
that line continue.

Dickinson I Machine Gun Com
pany Cook Speedster on
Matrimonial Highway
Especial to Press)

-
Charlotte, N. c., Oct. 24.-Met last
Thursday and married on Tuesday is
the speed" record Of Robert Decatur,
cook for the Dickinson Machine Gun
Company, Second North Dakota Regi-
ment, and Gertrude. Savage, daughter
Of Harrison Savage of Charlotte.
Decatur was asked by some of his
companions to attend church last
week, which he did. He got one look
at Miss Savage-that was enough.
He went to church three evenings in
succession, at least that is what his
new mother-in-law maintains.
This is the first wedding ceremony
to be performed at Camp Greene, the
knot being tied by Chaplain Proehl
of the First North Dakota Regiment.
According to local authorities, there
is reason to believe that Decatur was
married man while living in this
city. He came here in July accom-
panied by woman whom he intro
duced as his wife. Securing posi-
tion as cook at the N. P. station
lunch room, he fingered there for a
few weeks, finally landing a job as
cook at the Willard hotel. In the
meantime he was rooming with the
woman who was supposed to be his
wife on the South Side at the home
of Martin Andor.
When he joined the Machine Gun
company, the woman. departed on No.
4 presumably for St.. Paul. Mrs.
Andor told the Press man that the
young couple seemed to get along
well together and she had no reason
to doubt that they were married.
The woman was German, said Mrs.
Andor, while Decatur was a French
man. Authorities are investigating.

Former Champion
Bob Fitzsiz,,n,Ons
Dies in Chicago

Robert Fitzsimmons, ex-heavy-
weight champion of the world, died in
a hospital at Chicago last Monday of
double pneumonia, after an illness
lasting less than a week.
Fitzsimmons was born in England
in 1862 but moved to Australia with
his parents when but baby. He was
blacksmith during his early fight
ing days. He won the worlds cham
pionship from Jas. J.. Corbett in 1897
in II rounds at Carson City, Nevada.
At this fight was born the famous
solar plexus blow. Two years later,
Ntzsimm0ns was defeated by Jim
Jeffries in II rounds at Coney Island.
Jefries turned the trick again in 1902,
using but 8 rounds to put Bob out Of
the fight.
Fitzsimmons made several fortunes
during his ring career. His fight
with Jim Hall netted him $4,000; his
two fights with Jeffries brought in
$4,000; the match with Gus Rubin
brought him $45,00O; and the Sharkey
battle drew $25,00O. He spent as fast
as he made. "Fitz" was married four
times. His last wife and a son by
former marriage survive him. It was
Fitzsimmons' intention to make a
prize-fghter Of his son but the latter
developed no unusual skill with the.
fst-pads. For the last few years,
"F'itz" and his son travelled with
shows and in vaudeville giving boxing
exhibitions.
The remarkable feature of Fitz-
simmons victories lay in the fact that
he always fought heavy-weights while
weighing around $50 pounds, himself.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons appeared in
Dickinson last winter as aan evange-
list. She spoke at the Methodist
church.

State Council of Defense in which he
says he will reach Dickinson about
November 1. A letter to follow will
give the exact date Of his coming.
All those who are interested in join

Y. N. E. A. TO
HELP WIN WAR

At meeting held in this city
Tuesday, j. W. McHose acting as
chairman, E. P. Lee was appointed
district chairman of th&A War Work
Fund Association Of the Y. NJ. G. A.
in the district composed, of Stark,
Dunn, Billings and Golden Valley
counties. E. A. Lillibridge was. ap
pointed chairman for Stark county.
The War Work Fund Of the Y. M.
C. A. to be collected in this country
will total $35, 100000, with $1,000,000
for North Dakota. The quota for the
district composed of the above-men-
toned counties has been set at $4,000.
Very few people appreciate the vase
amount of good that the Y. M. C. A.
is accomplishing. Despite the good
intentions of other organizations and
the wonderful work that they have ac-
complished, the Y. M. G.. A. has never
weakened in it's campaign. Not all of
the effort of this organization is 'di-
rected toward the spiritual uplift of
humanity except in that by material
is attained. American soldiers in this
country will receive direct benefit
from $23,000,000 Of this fund, the re-
mainder going to our Z. M. c. A.
camps in Europe. Leading generals
feel confident that with the help of the
Y. M. C. A., especially on the Russian
front where the morale is low, more
than 100 German regiments may be
checked. That fact alone should be
inspiration for a hearty subscription.
A state conference of War Work
Fund enthusiasts is being held at
Fargo today (Friday). p. p. Lee and
r. A. Lillibridge are in attendance. AT
this conference, plans for campaign
will be framed and it is thought that,
on the committees return, an active
drive will begin.
This campaign evidences very
forcibly the need Of a permanent Y.
M. G.. A. in Dickinson. There are
but three such institutions in the
state and, owing to the advantageous
location of our city, it would form a
splendid site upon which to found
this most important adjunct of civil
lization. The Young. Mems Christian
Association has proven pioneer ever
since its inception. It has shown
needs along educational, spiritual and
economic grounds. It has tanned the
social evil into semi-insignifcance. It
has saved souls and bodies and
minds. It has built character. It has
instilled patriotism. And now it's
function is to be a savior in war.
We heartily subscribe to sentiment
leading to the establishment of a
permanent Y. M. C. A. in this city. /.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER
e, DAY OF PRAYER

Answering request of Congress
that day be designated for the ma
tion at which time the people of this
country may offer up prayers in their
churches or homes for the protection
Of our soldiers, President Wilson has
set aside Sunday, October %, for that
purpose.
Prayer is offered daily for the guild
ance and safety of our boys at the
front by individuals who have rela-
tives, friends or sweethearts in the
army and navy, yet this consolidation
of request to the Divine Power will
be an earnest of the whole ma
tion's desire. It will be recog-
nizing of the Power to save, an ac-
knowledging of the Force of Wisdom.
In addition, the morale of the nation
will be strengthened in the conscious
ness that we have the Supreme Leader
