MINOT WOMAN'S BROTHER
MURDERED IN MEXICO
C. D. Armour, Brother of Mrs. Ben
Herbranson, Shot by 2O-Year-Old
Lad-Remains Found-Murderer
Has Been Arrested

Mrs. Ben Herbranson. wife Of a G. N.
engineer residing at 713 Third street
northwest, has returned from southern
California where she was called by the
death Of her brother, c. d. Armour, who
was the victim Of foul murder.
Mr.. Armour had invested in a fine
new automobile and intended taking his
mother and sister over into Mexico for
a vacation trip, but the mother became
i'll and he invited youth of 20 to ac-
company him as he considered it unsafe
to travel through Mexico alone. Mr..
Armour did not return but the mother
received several kilograms from the one
who claimed he was c. D. Armour. and
drew all of his money from the bank,
sending it to him. 1t appears that the
youth, who was a cigarette and dime
novel fiend, shot Mr.. Armour through the
back while the latter was repairing his
car, and left the remains on the desolate
prairie over in Mexico. He then pro.
ceeded with the car, taking the name OF
Mr.. Armour.
Mrs. Herbranson's mother grew sus-
picious when her son did not return and
sent for the Minot woman. A search was
made and just a short time ago the re-
mains were found where they had been
left and the young man was arrested.
He denied that he was the same man
who accompanied Mr.. Armour and shot
himself through the throat with re-
volver He will recover and soon will be
placed on trial and likely will be hanged.
Mrs. Herbranson will return to Cali
fornia to attend the trial.

PAY RAISE RULING
Recorder of Deeds Seeks Bene-
fits for Workers in His
Office.

John F. Costello, recorder of deeds,
after conferences with Secretary Tu.
multy and the District Commissioners,
has decided TO ask the Comptroller OF
the Treasury for decision as to
whether the increased pay and per
diem holiday provisions OF the District
appropriation bill apply to employees
of his office.
This question arises by reason of
the fact that the recorder of deeds, al
though receiving appropriations for
office expense in the District appro-
priation bill, is not a District, but q
Federal officer, and no specific pro-
vision is made in any appropriation
bill by which his employees share in

District employees.
The District appropriation bill pro
vides that hereafter all per diem EN-
ployes of the District shall be granted

holidays. Recorder Costello wants his
employees recognized as District EN-.
ployes to receive this benefit.
The bill also provides for n 10 per
cent increase for employees receiving
below $1,000 and a 8 per cent increase
for employees receiving from 81 200 to
$1,SOO. He wants his employees to
share in this increase, but has been
