pointment Of N. c. Macdonald to a
new job created by the new Board of
Administration. This appointment in
my judgment is poor one from any
viewpoint and should never have been
made. Mr.. Macdonald was retired
from office by the voters of North Da-
kota last November by decisive vote
and his conduct since then in trying
to hang onto the office on technical
points of law has only served to dis

H. J. Kiefer Dead at Deer, Arkansas, after
Killing a Young Girl Who Refused
His Attentions.

A double killing, strange in circum-
stance and permeated with the primi-
tive qualities Of the Ozark backwoods,
occurred at Deer, Ark, the other day.
Deer is in Newton county, which has
no railroads. II is only a little mount
ain hamlet Of a dozen or so families and
is miles distant from the nearest tele-
graph Office. So news Of the crime
and its aftermath reached the outer
world in only 4-line press dispatch.
H J, Kieier, apparently about so
years old, went 10 Deer some years ago.
Kieter was not a mountainer either in
speech or manner. He seemingly was
we'll 10 do. Wnen he passed through
Jasper, county seat Of Newton, an effort
was made to induce him to stop therc
but he inquired whether many strangers
came to that town. When told that
travelling mer, an occasional mining
prospector and a few tourists came to ii,
he said that he guessed ne would &c
on" Deer, where he settled, is one
OF the most remote and lonely points
in the OzWks.
Kieier set up shoe repair shop. Next
door to him was a store owned by Alb
CrayborD. When not busy in his shop
Kieier would help in this store. Here
he met Laura Clayborn, daughter Of the
store proprietor, pretty girl about II.
Kieier vainly attempted to make love to
her. He had been married before and
said he was the father Of two boys who,
he supposed, were in France. He never
told where he had lived before going
to Jasper county, though he indicated
it was up north" somewhere.
He never talked of bis past life.
Once each year ne went away for sew
eral weeks. It is said that the railroad
ticket he purchased at Harrison, the
nearest railroad point, was to Forsyth,
Mo. He acquired considerable proper
ty about Deer and told several persons
that he h,d lot more up north"
Que morning Kiefer closed his shor
and drove to Harrison, soue Thirty
miles distant. He returned TO Dee
early in the morning four days later
Laura CIa2oosn was Just opening he
fathers store.
Kiefer, without a word, drew heav!
revolver and opened fire on the girl
Sle sprang upon him and siezed th'
revolver. One Of her hands was sho
patty away. Another bullet entered
her body. R-leasing her, Keller dEeV
knife and cut her throa'. Several per
sons saw the killing but note attempet
