Frank Millen, Of Todd County,
Kills Father, Mother, Broth
er and Wife and Self.

The Young Couple Were Mar
ried In This City About
Three Months Ago.

county, were killed about $50 o'clock
about three miles from Elkton, Thurs
day morning. The entire family Of
Charles Millen, one of the most SUBJ
stantial and representative men Of
that county, was wiped out when
Frank Millen, son, aged 38 years,
became insane from brooding over
i'll health.
That the determination of the family
was carefully planned and executed is
shown by a number of things, one of
which is the note left by the crazed
young man, which reads:
May 9.
This deed was done TO avoid all
suffering on this earth.
''To executor-Sell all livestock at
once.
Last heir,
FRANK MILLEN."
Those killed were:
Charles Millen, head of the family.
Mrs. Betty Millen, his wife.
Elmore Millen, a brother of the
maniac.
Mrs. Amy Millen, three months
bride Of Elmore.
Frank Millen, the murderer and
suicide.
The weapon used on all the family
except Elmore and the maniac HIM
self was an AK with which the skulls
of three were crushed. The deed was
accomplished after the family were
all up and dressed and were evident
ly about their morning tasks.
Mrs. Elmore Millen was killed in
the front room of the house, evidently
as she was making up bed.
Charles Millen, the father, was
killed on one Of the porches and his
wife was killed in the kitchen. There
was some evidences of these two at
tempting to get away.
Elmore Millen was killed at the
stable, about seventy-five yards from
the house, where he had gone to see
after the livestock. He was stabbed
in the left breast, just over the heart.
SUMMONS THE CORONER.
Then Frank Millen returned to the
house and first called Coroner Bart
lett over the telephone, and said to
him:
Come on out here. The entire
family is dead but me and will be
dead too when you get here.
Coroner Bartlett summoned Chief
of Police Edwards, Sheriff Chestnut
and others and hurried to the Millen
farm and found that the telephone
message was only too true, for the
body of Frank Millen was found
swinging from a rafter in rear
porch. TO make assurance doubly
sure he had stood on a table, fastened
a rope to the rafter and then about
his neck and then fired charge from
a shotgun into his heart.
Inside the house the bloOd was
scattered about and stood in pools be-
side the bodies.
Another indication that the deed
was fully planned was given when a
neighbcr telephoned Thursday morn
ing early, asking to borrow a farm
implement. Frank Millen answered
the telephone and told him he could
get it from the barn but not to CONF
to the house.
Frank Millen had been Worrying
much Of late over the state of hi.
health and he greatly feared that hi.
lungs were affected. Continued brood
ing over this unbalanced him mek Al
lily. He had never married and was :
quiet, industrious and inoffensive
farmer, who was liked and respected
by everyone.
The Millen family was one Of the
foremost in Todd county. The trag,
edy leaves only one brother, F. j,

In line with the campaign for
making the South self-sustaining
in the matter of food and feed,
careful attention should be paid
to canning and preserving any
surplus of fruits and vegetables.
Just now the outlook for fruit is
generally good, and there are
gardens where gardens never
grew before. This means that
many families will have more
than can be Immediately used.
Let's call the cans and jars into
service and save everything-The

THE WAY
Gives Information on Meth.
DDS of Bettering Wheat
Seed in the Northwest.

Prof. H. L. Bolley, of the agricultural
college, in circular just issued, tells
how wheat seed may be improved the
circular following:
The various Varieties of the wheat
crop of the northwest are badly mixed
They have also been grown over and
ground is commonly filled with dis
eased stubble and straw. often the
seed grain itself is internally diseased
with several types of parasitic fungi
These diseases are not preventable by
seed treatment alone. We can only
escape them by grading out the weak
ened, shriveled kernels, which are
diseased. Then, after careful treat
ment, sow it on ground that has not
had wheat on for a number of years.
Under these conditions and under good
weather conditions we may hope to get
stronger type of seed for the next
year.
"One cannot now buy any kind of
wheat in any large quantity without
getting admixtureS of several kinds of
wheat. No one hopes to improve any
breed or stock or any kind of cultivat-
ed plant by growing mixtures. Now is
the time to take a start. Select a por-
wheat on for several years so as not to
have volunteer wheat. There should
be no undecayed wheat stubble in the
ground. Use the best seed that you
can get of the kind of wheat that you
wish to grow. Plant it on a seed bed
well compacted or firmed down. Plant |
the grain so that the seeds will fall |
about one. wheat grain to the inch |
When the wheat heads out, go through |
the field and pull out all false heads |
from an area big enough to furnish |
seed for large part of your crop next |
year. You will then be in the wheat |
business. Never change seed after you |
get started. Always improve it by |
grading it to the plumpest, best one
third, and by sowing it on land that
has not had wheat on for four or five
years previous Get your neighbors to
do likewise and we can soon lift North |
Dakota out of the present condition OF
low yields and deteriorated types of
wheat. II. /. Bolley"

ADJUSTMENTS


The American Gentleman, comedy
drama given by the stock company,
with a story to the effect that He"
fell in live with his wife, proved to
be a hit with the small but apprecia-
tive audience at the Orpheum last
night.
The different members of the stock
company played their parts well. AL
bert Patterson showed up better than
ever in his part of the American
gentleman. He played that some
thing into his part that gave it the air
of genuineness. In the heavy feminine
roles Miss Marshall and Miss Fisher
showed up to advantage. This pair
never fail to lend to the plays en-
thusiaSm and sincerity. Hewison
Pollock played a part for Ray Van
Fossem who is confined to his home
by sickness. Ward Cassidy played a
character part after the successful
Cassidy" manner.

stars. In 1.-THE Truant Soul" at the

story written by that master OF liter
ature, Victor Rosseau, he has found a
vehicle commensurate with his gifts.
1t is the greatest Of all the great pho
toplays in which Mr.. Walthall has ap-
peared. He himself says: ut is my
masterpiece" The play is intensely
dramatic and thrilling in the extreme.
There is quick action throughout, with
many surprises. 1t is the story OF a
doctor under the cloud of a hidden
menace. You will forget everything
