GERMANY'S AMMUNITION

This situation, it was then said by
persons in position to know, would
be due partly to a lack of raw ma

a greater extent, however, the short
age, when it arrived, would be attri-
butable to exhaustion of man power.

NORTH DAKOTA FEUD is
TERMINATED IN DOUBLE
SHOOTING OF RANCHERS
Prominent Cow Men Settle Difficult
ties With Methods of Early Days
Both Participants Dead.

Williston, N. D., Oct. 31.-Follow-
ing the inquest today held to investi-
gate the double murder of Allen Phil
ips and Sam Douglas at the Philips
ranch in the Squaw Gap country, Cor
oner j. C. Hinman held all parties
blameless and directed the jury to
bring in a verdict that each of the
men had been shot by the other.
Sam Douglas was constable Of
Loyal township, Mckenzie county, and
went to the Philips home to arrest a
son Of Allen Philips, who was charged
with minor offense.
The father and son resisted Douglas
and the constable was run off the
ranch at the point of a gun. He re-
turned a short time later with a 5000
rifle and got the drop on both of the
Philipses. Despite this the elder Phil
ips grasped shotgun and fred at the
same time that the constable discharg-
his rifle. Both men dropped mortally
wounded, the former with clean
rifle ball in his right breast and the
latter with his jugular vein torn away
by the charge from the shotgun.
1t is generally understood that the
shooting was the outcome of long
standing feud between the two ar
ties and that the attempt to arrest
the younger Philips simply precipiat-
ed the trouble. Sam Douglas was one
of the best-known men in the ranch
country and at the same time there is
general sympathy for the family of
Philips.
Douglas will he buried tomorrow
from his home and will be one of the
first settlers to sleep in the cemetery
which was a gift to the community
about year ago. The Philips funer-
al was held at Sidney today.
