CROWELL HELD UNDER
$4,000 BONDS
Young Man Who Killed Sam DazeI Is
Charged With Murder in the
First Degree

Elmer c. Crowell, who shot and
killed Samuel Dazell during a fight at
the Reed barn in this city Saturday
evening. was bound over to the dis
trict court under $4,000 bail at his pre-
liminary hearing which was held be-
fore Judge Lynch Wednesday, charg-
ed with murder in the first degree The
hearing ended Wednesday evening.
o. B. Herigstad, states attorney
conducted the hearing for the state
and Attorneys Wooledge and Sinkler
appeared for the defense
CrOwell throughout the hearing sat
quietly by listening to all Of the evi-
dence and showed little emotion. He
was unable to furnish bail and is now
i'll the county Jail. 1t is understood
that his father is on his way from
Virginia to aid his son.
The case will come to trial in this
city the latter part of November
At the hearing, about the same facts
were brought out as appears in an ac-
count of the shooting in another sec
tiOn Of this paper. 1t appears that
CrOWell went to the Reed barn in the
evening first, armed with the revolver
which he had bought that afternoon
and when Dazell arrived, confronted
him and asked him if he intended to
pay for the damage to the cart. The
men exchanged angry words. Dazell
is said to have told CrOwell to shut up
or he would slap his face, and finally
did slap him. CroWell is said to have
knocked Dazell down. Dazell got UP
and the men clinched and then both
stood off getting ready to attack each
other again when Crowell fred the
three shots.
From the nature of the cross-eXam-
ination conducted by the attorneys for
the defense, an effort will be made to
show at the trial that Crowell fired the
shots in self-defense.

DIGGING POTATOES.

Every year potato growers lose
heavily because of field frost. Some
times the potatoes are so seriously
frosted that they are never dug. At
other times when the frost injury is
not so serious the potatoes are dug
and shipped and the frost injury de-
velops enroute and always creates
trouble between the shipper and the
receiver Of the potatoes. To avoid
this trouble it is best to dig the po-
tatoes early and either ship them or
get them unuer cover where frost will
not injure them. Where the vines
have been killed by frost they should
be dug without delay as no more
growth is taking place. On account
OF the great danger of a sever frost
1t is not advisable to delay digging be.
yond Sept. 80 at the latest.
When digging potatoes it is we'll to
let the potatoes lie exposed to the sun
for several hours before picking them
up so that the skins will become more
firm. In order to avoid bruising it is
advisable to empty the potatoes into
sacks from the picking baskets, rather
than to empty them loose into the
wagon box. When in sacks they can
also be handed moro conveniently. If
put into storage the potatoes should
be lowered into the cellar in the sacks
rather than dumping them in, which
may bruise many of them, thus open
ing the way for dry rot to set in.-H.

court officials during the trial for MUIR
der of one of the feudists some years
ago.
Crowell and Dazell knew each other
we'll and had always been the best Of
friends until they had their collision.
At the police station Crowell is said
to have broken down and cried like a
child.
He has secured the services of
Greenleaf, Wooledge & Lesk and will
undoubtedly fight the case hard if held
to district court. 1t has been learned
that shortly after the c.liision on Cen.

THEY MAY BE GONE FOR A LONG,
LONG TIME

They may be gone for long, long
time
For they left Old Minot today,
And many time our hearts will pine
For the boys Who've just gone away.
Our MinOt's deserted; something
seems gone,
For we always miss those who've been
true
But our hearts rejoice when we hear
that old song,
They will fight for the Red, White and
Blue
They may be gone for a long, long
time
It is duty that called them to CO.
AS we honor our flag in the firing line
We honor our boys Who've been true
They have gone away to a stranger
land,
Amid strangers they soon have to be
Far. far away on foreign strand,
And they went there for you and fol-
me.
They may be gone for a long, long
time;
And at first our hearts seem to yearn
But gladneSS comes into that heart OF
mine
When l think of their hOmeward re
turn.
With our Flag before them and vic
tory is won
And they're coming back to our shore
We will welcome them back when the
war is done,
AS we never have welcomed before.
They may be gone for long, long
time.
God speed them now on their way
May health and happiness on then
shine
Till they meet here another day.
They will crush the tyrant's oppros
sive hand;
We will honor the work that they do
And God will be with them, every one
For they fight for the Red, White ant
Blue.

learn every day, and every day be-
comes more interesting.
Th hardest thing l have experienced
on the whole trip was the breaking
away from home, and the parents
that have done so much for me, but l
felt that had to do something in re-
turn for all the good that l have re-
ceived in my life, and there is no
greater sacrifice that man can make
than to be willing to lay down his life
for his country.

part in the surprise party the Young
Peoples Society of forming had for
me just before 1 left them, when they
presented me with gold mounted
fountain pen, and l can't find words
that can say how much I appreciate
the gift. l can say this much, that

INDIAN GOES TO CAMP GREENE
AS WIFE LIES DEAD IN MORGUE

Bismarck, N D., Oct. 2.-When the
special train carrying the Slope con-
tingent of the Second regiment pulled
out of Bismarck yesterday afternoon it
bore one heavy heart. Joseph Jordan,
Sioux Of the Standing Rock reser-
vation and a private in Co. l of Bis
marcl1 left behind him, in undertaking
rooms within sight of the tracks, the
remains of his girl-wife, who, when
she found that she could not accom-
pany her husband, committed suicide
in a room which the couple occupied in
local hotel, only four hours before
the train left.
Mrs. Jordan, Sioux halfbreed, aged
about 18 years, came up from Kenel,
S. D., on Sunday night to join her hus-
band. She spent the night in weeping
and insisting that she must accompany
him to Camp Greene. Her husband
repeatedly assured her that this would
be impossible, and he was about to
take his leave for the armory, when
Mrs. Jordan ran into their bedroom
and cried, Joe, I've taken poison AS
she fell to the bed an ounce bottle
from which she had drained carbolit
acid fell to the floor The unfortunate
young woman was rushed to the hOspi
tai, but nothing could be done for hel
and she died within an hour.
Coroner A. e. Shipp, after question
ing the bereaved husband, regarded
the suicide so clearly established thai
he dispensed with an inquest and JOr
dan, who had been held as witness
was released to join his company. To
day, attended by two brothers of the
soldier who is on his way to CamI
Greene, the body Of the girl-wife wht
is Bismarck's first victim Of the grea
war, was carried to st. Marys pro
cathedral, where last mass was held
and interment was made in st. Mary
