BEAT WIFE TO DEATH;
BLEW OFF OWN HEAD
Horrible Double Tragedy Near Rolla
Joseph Davis Kills Wife and
Shoots Self-JealOusy Cause.

Rolla, N. D., June 5.-Beating his
wife to death with an iron bar and
then blowing off his own head with a
shotgun was the terrible act of JOS
eph Davis, while walking in the coun-
try 15 miles south of Rolla, where the
couple made their home with Mr.. Davis
uncle, Frank Davis. The cause of
the tragedy is thought to be jealousy
by those who are acquainted with the
couple. They had left the Davis
home and started to walk to a neigh
boris, where they expected to get a
ride into town. Just as they passed
a nearby elevator Davis picked up an
iron bar from the ground and struck
his wife five or six times across the
head with it, knocking her to the
ground. Then he obtained shotgun
and with the muzzle pointed at his
head pulled the trigger, killing him
self instantly. Mrs. Davis died five
hours afterward without regaining
consciousness.
Joseph Davis was under indictment
for introducing liquor on the Turtle
Mountain Indian reservation, and the
couple were going to leave that day
for Devils Lake, where he was to face
the charge in the federal court.
Previous to her marriage five years
ago, Mrs. Davis, who was then Miss
Rachael Gardner, was a milliner at
Belcourt, N. d.

SHIPMENT Of Baby Chicks.

Bob Evans received from Clitherall,
Minn., last evening 200 one-day old
baby chicks of the pure bred White
Leghorn strain. They were shipped
by Moen Brothers, arriving by ex-
press. Out Of the 200 all were living
except 80, which is good record for
baby chicks. The Give stock" was
taken out to the farm in forming
township the same evening and all OF
the setting hens on the farm were
"commandeered" to mother the lively
little rascals. Shipping baby chicks
has become quite business and as the
little fellows do not have to be fed fol
48 hours after being Matched, they
can be shipped across several states
with fair success.
