Jury Deliberates But Two
Minutes on Case of
Caldwell Murderer
SENT AT ONCE TO
STATE HOSPITAL
Most Sensational Case in
History of Slope Is
Brought to End
Especial 70 The Forum.l

Bismarck, n. D., Aug. 14.-Mike
Chumack, confessed slayer OF James
H. Caldwell and wife at their ranch
home near Gladstone last spring, is
raving maniac. Strapped to a cot
he fought with keepers in Stark
county court room this morning
while the Jury which had been sum-
moned TO try him for murder, judged
him insane and not amenabIe to the
criminal laws of the state.
The inquest occupied an hour. and
jurors deliberated two minutes.
Chumack, who has shown signs of
dementia from the time Of the double
murder, became violently insane last
week and attacked Sheriff Hartung
as the later entered his cell Chum-
acke was produced in court this
morning bys overpowering him in hs>
cell and strapping him to a cot.
He Is a man of powerful PHYSIQUE
and is almost completely recovered
from the wounds in his neck. self in
flicted in an effort to commit suicide
following the crime. Half a dozen
men found il difficult to handle him
outside a straight jacket. No time
will be lost in getting him to the
state hospital for insane at James
town whittier he will be carried on
Mo. leaving Dickinson this af-
ternoon.
The prominence of the persons in
volved, their recent connection with
the ]. c.. r. case and the fact that
the murder is said to have followed
an attempt upon their part to pre-
vent Chumack from assaulting a
young woman employed in the CaId-
well home, made the case that ended
today the most sensational in the
history of the slope. J. H. Caldwell
had succeeded in convincing Judge
Neussle in district court that the
mysterious J. c. r. was not his son
only a few days before the murder.
He left an estate of $4,000.
The scene of the double murder
was a barn on the Caldwell ranch.
1t is alleged that after killing Cald-
well with shot gun, Chumack call
ed Mrs. Caldwell to the barn and
turned the same weapon on her.
Physicians state that Chumack is
suffering from softening of the brain
and that it is unlikely that he will
live longer than six months.
He refuses to change clothes and
had to be brought to the court room
strapped to the cot and covered with
a quilt.

Minneapolis, Aug. 14.--An future
Grading in wheat on the Minneapolis
exchange was today ordered stopped
on Sept. / by H. c. Hoover. national
food administrator,
kilograms to Pres. w. o. Timer
man from Julius Barnes, New York,
who is to be appointed chairman of
the federal grain board according to
Washington dispatches, declared the
administration would ask no future
trading in rye.
1t was announced by President
Timerman that advices from Wash
ington were to the effect that Frank
L. Carey of Minneapolis would be
appointed wheat buyer for the north
west and would be in control of NOV
ing the 1917 grain crop in this sec
ton.
The governments intentions, as
reflected in the telegram Of Mr.
Barnes, include. the stopping of all
rye future trading on that date also.
1t was declared by Secretary Nc
Hugh that the orders of the govern
ment according to the impression of
Minneapolis grain dealers, would only
affect the future traders and repre-
sentatives of cash grain buyers pro-
tecting their hedges.
The order will not hit Minneapolis
particularly hard as there has been
little future trading there in wheat
since the restrictions were placed by
the government last May. The only
wheat futures speculated in recently
have been in September wheat. The
kilograms from julius Barnes, init
mating the government also intends
to take over part of the rye crop or
to at least stop all future trading in
it, affects more traders than the
wheat order. This will make oats the
only grain on the Minneapolis mar
ket on which there can be future
trading.

Beverages Sold Here Since
July / Not Affected If
Rule Is Adopted

Recommendation thatthe
sale of beverages coming

in North Dakota when such
beverages contain in excess
of one-fifth of one per cent
alcohol, has been made to
the attorney general of
North Dakota, William
LANCER, by DR.. E. f. Ladd,
commissioner of pure foods.
DR.. Ladd, in an interview
with The Forum today, ex-
planned the position his de-
partment has taken in the
"near beer'' controversy,
brought to the pubic's at
tention several days ago
when the attorney general
issued an order prohibiting
the sale of all "near beers, !,
contending that they were
being sold In violation of
the state s law that bars the
sale of beverages contain
ing any trace of alcohol.
That chemists, if the one
fifth of one per cent dead
line is established, will be in
position to go into court
and maintain their findings
under examination of ex-
perts who may be used by
prosecuted companies, is a
consideration that has gov
erped DIR. Ladd in his rec
ommendation.
Attempts to establish positively
the existence Of alcohol in quantities
of lesser volume than on-fifth OF l

Not Proud of Sammy.
Please hit the Sammy propa-

among us who thinks Sammy is in
any way suitable and 1t certainly is
not desired.
THE name does not in any way
suit a fighting man. We recognize,
Of course, that II lis an effort to play
upon the name BIZ Uncle Sam, but
who would think of calling Uncle
Sam, Uncle Sammy IL is ridiculous.
