Marion, KY. Aug. 2eth. 1918.
The time to give our roads

$500 per day allowed for all
necessary teams on the rcaos

BRIEF STATE NEWS

The North Dakota moratorium act
was not nearly so comprehensive as
the recent federal legislation, and the
latter is now being used almost ex-
clusively in this state.
T. J. Babcock, manager of the Vic
toria elevator at Hazelton; Harry
Armstrong, Hazelton farmer; and
Louis Torkleson, Hazelton merchant,
were bound over to district court on
charge of rioting following their
preliminary hearing here. They are
three of the fourteen men who are al
legged to have been connected with the
mob whose search for W. w. Dough-
erty, a week ago resulted in the kill
ing of Mrs. E. L. Perras, his mother
in-law.
A wire was received by Mrs. Gust
Hendricks Tuesday informing her Of
the death of her son Ted Braaf1at in
France. He was killed in train
wreck but no particulars were given.
Ted enlisted soon after the U. S. got
into the war and he has been in France
several months. He was gassed
once. His death brings sadness to
our town from the trenches for the

Of man. The body of the man had
been placed in the ground at an angle
of some forty-fve degrees. When
found 1T was in an excellent state of
preservation. Practically every bone
in the boy was found and the size
of the bones would indicate that it
was the body of a large man. The
county officials were Immediately no.
titled and Sheriff Olsen came to the
Briggs farm at once. There he gath
cred up the skeleton and took it to
Devils Lake. The county physician
will be asked to place the skeleton to-
gether with a view of ascertaining
if possible the approximate size Of the
man and how long the body had been
buried. Old timers here recalled,
upon the discovery Of the skeleton,
that a man by the name of Andrew
Davidson mysteriously disappeared in
that community several years ago.
Davidson, at the time that he disap-
peared, lived south of the Briggs farm
about six miles. At that time it was
thought that he might have met with
foul play as the community was con-
sidered bad one at that time.

neer.
The North Dakota council of de-
Tense is considering several import
ant moves to insure safe handling of
the 1918 hay crop. One project con-
templates the construction of 30 miles
of railroad between Cannon Ball and
Fort Yates. The grade has been built
1t is understood that secondhand
rails are available for the work and
that some action will be taken, after
decision has been announced by Sec
rotary McAdoo, director general of
the railroad systems of the nation.
The council of defense, it is claimed,
is ready to do the work as a war
emergency, if Secretary McAdoo de-
cides the government cannot con-
struct the track at this time. It has
been pointed out that the road will
furnish an outlet for at least 81 ,O0O,-
900 worth of hay.
The motor vehicle registration de-
partment Of the state is without funds
as a result of the supreme court de-
cision, recently made in the case in
volving the constitutionality of the
motor vehicle act. The court held
that legislature attempted to vest in
the secretary of state, powers that
belong to the legislative assembly.
These included the administration Of
the department out of funds collect
ed for automobile registry, the ex-
penditures being wholly within the
province Of the secretary Of state. In
an opinion, given to the secretary of
state, Thomas Hall, by E. B. Cox, as
sistant attorney general, he holds
that expenses incurred by the secre-
tary of state and remaining unpaid,
cannot at this time be paid. He also
holds that the secretary of state is
without power to purchase the auto
mobile tags for the 1919 registry. The
contract usually is made six or eight
months ahead Of the time they are re-
quired.
Teammates in many thrilling ath-
letic victories, companions in death,
on the field of honor. Such is the
story of George Slime and Harold Belt
man, high school boys of Tower City.
More than a year ago, these youths,
who were stars on the famous Tower
City basketball five, enlisted. Eight
other Tower City youths joined them.
Most of the ten young soldiers were
athletes. The "Tower City Ten" were
sent to training camps. Letters re-
ceived by parents and relatives show
ed that Slime and Beltman had not
been separated. Finally word was re-
ceived that they had arrived safely
in France. Letters arrived regularly
from the youths, until recently. Each
told of the prowess of the other. A
few days ago, dispatch was receiv-
ed from the War department announc-
ing the death of George Slime. "What
happened to Beltman?" was the ques-
ton on many lips. The answer came
in twenty-four hours. Beltman also
had been killed.
Last week Thos. Briggs, well known
farmer east Of Starkweather, began
the work of excavating a basement
for his house. Friday morning work

TWO BODIES IN BROOK.
Mother and Daughter Evidently Joined
il Suicide Plot.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, April 90
Lying side by side in a little brook
let not 30 wards from the highway, the
bodies of Mrs. Bridget Perry, 65, and
Grace Lillian Perry, 26, mother and
daughter, were discovered by boys
fishing in Hampden yesterday after
noon about 80. No evidence of foul
play was found following examination
of the bodies by Medical Examiner DR..
f. j. Mahoney of Springfield, and it
is his belief that the tragedy resulted
from a suicide pact.
The medical examiner found strong
suspicion that the daughter, who had
been Tilted by a lover, was in deli
cate eondition-a suspicion that can
not be substantiated unless an autopsy
is ordered b. the district attorney, to
whom. the facts of the case will be
given. Friends of the dead women
say that a particular unity existed be
tween mother and daughter. and the
position of the bodies indicates that
they died in each others arms. Boti
had been Respondent for weeks as ;
