YOUNG CROWELL WILL
CLAIM SELF DEFENSE
His Attorney, E. r. Sinkler, Will Seek
to Show That the First Shot Was
Fired Into Dazells Leg

J. w. Crowell, father of Elmer G.
Crowell, the young man charged with
the murder of Sam Dazell, arrived
from his home, Pulaski, Virginia, and
is doing what he can to clear his son,
whose case will come to trial in No
vember. The young man has been
placed under $4,000 bonds and being
unable to furnish them, is in the Ward
county Jail.
The father visited the Independent
office today and for an hour talked
concerning his sons predicament. He
stated that the Crowell family have
lived all their lives in Pulaski county,
in the extreme southwestern portion
of Virginia. The father is a rural
mail carrier and has held this position
since 1904. Mr.. Crowell appears to be
fine old gentleman. He believes his
son justified in shooting and naturally
is willing to spend his last cent.
Mr.. Crowell resents the insinuatlon
by the press that his son may have
been influenced by the Hatfield-McCoy
feud and the Allen tragedy where the
judge was killed while holding court.
The scenes Of these affairs were in
Kentucky and West Virginia and the
son never knew any of the parties in
terested. The Crowells have always
been law-abiding people. Mr.. Crowel]
has seven sons, and Elmer, the eldest
came to North Dakota tours years
ago, lad of seventeen. He taught
school in Mckenzie county and work
ed his way through the Minot normal
which he attended two years. He has
always been a hard working boy and
sd, RI
come to Ward county, where he said
a young man could make anything he
desired Of himself. Hurst has been
employed at Aurelia. Mr.. Crowell is
God fearing man and both himself
and the mother did their duty in bring
ing up their children under religious
influences. At the Normal Elmer was
well liked and at the trial members of
the faculty and schoolmates will be
placed on the stand to testify as to his
good character.
Mr.. Crowell stated that he is not a
prO-German, as one of the papers
stated. He wrote his son, advising him
to get into the civil service, as he did
not like to see him go into the trenches
but says he has always been loyal
American citizen.
Attorney Sinkler has been employed
to defend the son. An attempt will be
made to show that the shooting was
done in self-defense A witness will
be placed on the stand to show that
Crowell first shot Dazell in the leg anC
that when he did not cease coming to-
wards him, he shot little higher the
second time and that the third sho,
was fired higher still, as Dazell was
about to pounce upon him. Powder
marks on the clothing will show thai
the third shot was fired in close prox
unity

German Alien in Ward County Jail

German Alien in Ward County Jail
Harry Paul Merrick, young Ger
man alien, has been in the Ward coun-
ty Jail for the past 35 days and he
does not know just how he is going to
get out. 1t appears that the young
man has committed no crime, but un-
til the department can investigate his
case, he cannot secure his liberty. He
was travelling from Jamestown, N. d.,
TO Canada to thresh when he was de-
tained at Portal and brought to Mi
not. When the government investi-
gates his case and ascertains that the
man is not a dangerous fellow, he is
apt to be given his freedom.

Martins Liver Medicine is strictly
vegetable in ingredients, contains
no poisonous calomel, is pleasant to
take and is sold with the standing
guarantee that il it does not give
the effect desired, the empty bottle
can be returned to the drug store
