PlATT IS DEAD
AS RESULT OF
WHITES SHOTS
Double Slayer Claims Self
defence Unknown Wom-
an is Being Implicated.

Linton. N. D., March '6.-With the
blood of two fellow me- resting on
his head, Clarence White slept peace
fully throughout the night which
ushered the second of his victims, r.
S. Piatt, out of the world and this
morning he seemed in good spirits,
enjoying a hearty breakfast and talk
ing freely with Sheriff Meinhover and
States Attorney Campbell regarding
of the death of Piatt until mid-after-
noon, when White expressed regret,
but no consciousness Of guilt.
The double slayer made a statement
Of the shooting to States, Attorney
Campbell last night. He and Sloan,
said White. had been the closest Of
friends up to two months ago, when
Sloan, the slayer claims, made his
first charges against White Of in
charges were frequently repeated, said
White, and became matters Of COM
mon knowledge. Monday Sloan came
in with the avowed determination of
having a settlement with White. He
called White over to his automobile,
and the men exchanged perhaps Is
words when, White alleges, Sloan
called him a vile name and declared
his intention of tramping him into the
ground. II knew that with n arm
l would be no match for Charlie
said White, $50 l started shooting"
White does not explain how. he
CHANGED to have a gun in his pocket
when he went out to meet Sloan. The
slayer is a southerner and is a to
have made a practice of going armed;
He contends that he acted clearly In
self defense when he shot Piatt'
Piatt, a half brother of Sloan, wit
messed the latter's murder and imme-
diately rushed to the Piatt home and
returned with a gun opening fire on
White in the street. He followed
White into the Hazelton Mercantile
Co. and there exchanged more shots
with him. Piatt's aim was wild, but
White, who is a we'll known crack
shot, registered every one of the siz
bullets contained in his revolver.
White does not claim that he was
suffering from a brain storm OF
mental ALTERATION or any unusual e
element at the time Of the shooting
In his own mind he is quite clearly
convinced that he was Justified in act.

Can Counties Invest
In Third Liberty Bonds

Pierre, April 9.-That counties can
invest in Liberty bonds, appears to be
the impression in some counties of
the state, from the inquiries which
come to the encouragement. But
an examination of the different laws
passed at the last legislative session
does not bear out any such action by
the special session. Investments of
this class which have already been
made were legalized in House Bill 5
and the right of counties to appro-
pirate money for home guard and Red
Cross purposes was provided in SEN
ate Bill 26, but they did not go any
further unless such construction
might be twisted out Of some of the
language in the senate bill. But re-
gardIess of this there has never been
any bar on counties investing their
sinking funds in Liberty bonds, in
fact under the law they are assumed
to keep their sinking funds invested
in sound interest bearing securities,
and the way ought to be open through
this for a lot of investment Of county
and municipal funds.

HOW ESKIM0S HUNT THE SEAL
Pursuers Of Rich-Furred Animals
Sneak Up Close Enough to Shoot
Arrow Into Their Head.

Today the Eskimo method of hunt
ing seals is a primitive calling i'm
proved to a fine art, writes a natural
ist. When a seal is discovered the di-
rection of the wind is at once noted.
Then the hunter, keeping himself to
the leeward of the seal, walks up to
within about a quarter of a mile Of 1t.
Beyond this he begins to crouch and
advances only when the seals head is
down.
Now, as the seal is one of the most
wide-awake Of animals and has the
habit of throwing up its head quickly
every few seconds to guard against
danger, 1t follows that the Eskimo has
to be extremely alert If he would get
his seal. When the seals head Is down
upon the ice its eyes are shut. and 1t
Is said that in these brief intervals 1t
takes Its sleep.
The hunter, by carefully watching
the seals movements is able without
much difficulty to get within about 200
yards of 1t, but at closer quarters he
Is obliged to employ other tactics. He
lies down at full length on the ice.
Then the real sport begins.
When the seals head is down the
hunter, who keeps a keen eye on his
prey. is able to approach still nearer
by dragging himself forward on his ell
bows. This maneuveri2g continues for
some time, until the distance between
mar and beast has been reduced to a
few yards.
When near enough to MAKE a sure
shot, the Eskimo takes his bow and
arrow from his side and sends a swift
shaft through the head Of It's outwitted
companion.
