SHERIFF CRAIG, SON OF
LOCAL PASTOR, SUBDUES
RAVING MANIAC, ARMED

Graphing with an insane man,
armed with a revolver, Sheriff R. W.
Craig of Ransom county, narrowly
escaped serious or fatal injury last
week. Sheriff Craig is a son of the
Rev. R. H. Craig Of this city.
Albert Thompson mar who did the
shooting, had been demented for
some time, but only recently became
dangerous. The sheriff went to his
home, to take him in custody. The
insane man had the gun concealed,
held in his right hand, in his pocket.
He offered his left hand to the sheriff,
who, suspicious, at once grappled with
him. During the struggle Thompson
shot three times, bullets striking his
brother, Thomas Thompson, who is in
a Lisbon hospital in critical condition

WHY PUNISH MURDERERS?

Fear of capital punishment might
not have prevented the murders Of
James H. Caldwell and his wife, and
it might have had no lettering effect
upon Adolph Lehman, slayer of Ma
thias Wetzstein, but the fact remains
that murders have increased approx
mately 100 per cent since abolition of
death by hanging for murderers in
North Dakota, according to local Of
ficials. And this has also proved to
be the case in our sister state of
Minnesota, it is said.
Great majority of the people of
the country oppose capital punishment,
but Imprisonment for life does not
appear to be a severe enough penalty
to stop cold-bloodcd murders in this
state. And this is especially true
when the murderer may console him.
self with the thought that even if he
is sentenced to life Imprisonment he
will probably regain his freedom with
in a few years through the medium of
a pardon. The public has a short
memory, and petitions for pardon are
readily signed by many people after
a murderer has served five or ten
years in prison. Especially is this
true if the criminal is w%ell-to-do or
has the backing of men of wealth.
Innocent men have been hanged,
doubtless, but it is a certainty that
a far greater number of guilty men
have gone unpublished. The Press is
not advocating capital punishment,
but it does protest against the prac-
tice of turning a murderer free after
serving five or ten years of a life
sentence, merely because he can
arouse sympathy of a few mawkish
sentimentalists and command suffi-
Gent money and influence to gain a
pardon.
Noah, Ward county murderer, is
now seeking a pardon, after a few
years spent in state prison. Murder
for which he was sentenced was a
crime, and he was con-
to be hanged. Governor
Burke reprieved him just IA minutes
before the trap was sprung, then a
new trial was granted him, and he
drew life imprisonment. Now, he is
seeking a pardon and it is no GER
tainty that he will not be granted one.
If a mar can commit murder with
impunity in this state, secure in the
that he will be released
after serving a few years for his
crime, it will place a premium on the
taking of human life. If the murderer
does not expiate his crime to the
fullest extent, why punish him at all?
A mad dog, running amuck through
the Streets: gets short shrift, and a
man with murder in his heart is a
tenfold greater menace to his fellow
If Noah can show no better
reason for asking for a pardon, than
the simple fact that he is tired OF
prison life, that it's lack of variety is
on him, we fail to see why
his sentence should be committed.

extend his field of operations in
feeble oratory and infict himself and
Townley upon residents of Minnesota,
who deserve no such fate, meetings
having been scheduled for Montevideo,
Glenco and New Ulm, Immediately
following the present "drive."
Governor Frazier, in his speech
here, advocated the recall, and there
are hosts of people who agree with him
that we need it, and in no case more
glaringly than in his own.

Dickinson is facing a problem which
at some period or other confronts all
rapidly growing cities-need for in
creased accommodation for school
purposes. Need for bigger and better
school buildings becomes more and
more apparent with the passing of
every year, and this need is one which
must be met within the next year or
two. Mr.. Pugh presented the matter
clearly in his talk at commencement
exercises and it. behooves the people
of this city to awaken before the stu
alton becomes more serious.

conviction and sentence for assault
with a deadly weapon, has been
granted new trial By the Supreme
Court The decision was handed

out of a shooting affray in Nina.
The reason for reversing Judge
