PARENTS BRUTA[[Y
| MURDER DAUGHTER
FATHER KICKED HER SEVERAL
TINES, THEN HER MOTHER
USES PIECE OF BOARD |

Jamestown, N. D., March 1S.-Fol-
lowing three hour gruelling, Mrs.
Dan Mcdonnell, mother Of Eta Nc
Donnell, l3 years >old, whose death.
last Friday at Courtenay has been
under investigation by Stutsman,
county authorities, confessed last
night that kicks and blows admins
tered by her husband and punish
ment of the daughter afterward by
herself resulted in the child's death
An autopsy held Monday afternoon
by the coroner disclosed that the
child's body bore 2S wounds. There
were six contusions in head besides
scars about the body and limbs, which
the coroner said were due to Tex
ternal violence" The body was al
most skeleton. The verdict of the
coroner's jury was to the effect that
death was caused by concussion of
the brain through blows inflicted by
the parents and a secondary cause
was starvation.
Warrants were sworn out today
charging the parents with first de-
gree murder The hearing will be
held tomorrow. In the meantime ap-
plication will be made to have the
remaining six children placed in the
children's s home at Fargo.
According to the story told by the
woman, Etta's father attacked the
child early Friday morning because
of a physical ailment that was
brought to his attention by the ap-
pearance of the bed. He threw her
violently against the wall of the bed
room. Mrs. Mcdonnell said, and then
kicked her with his heavy field shoes.
He continued kicking and battering
her for fully five minutes.
After her husband had lessened his
attack on the girl, Mrs. Mcdonnell
says, she started to punish the child,
using a board about three inches
wide and three feet long with which
she struck the girl four or five times
| in the back.
Mrs. Mcdonnell then went to the
kitchen and started to prepare break
fast. About o'clock the girl en-
tered the kitchen and fell, arose and
then fell again. Mcdonnell picked
her up and carried her to her bed

l|GGET7 ADDRESSES S'''s'
LARGE CROWD HERE
FORMER GRAND FORKS EDITOR
EXPLAINS TO PEOPLE MEAS.
URES PASSED BY LEGISLATURE

Walter Thomas Mills was booked
to speak here on Monday evening but
on account of other engagements was
unable to be present and sent Waiter
w. Liggett former editor of the
Grand Forks Courier News who spoke
to a we'll packed house at the Court
Rooms here. There being no other
hall in the city available for the
meeting on that evening it had to be
held in the Court House and this
place proved too small for the large
crowd of townspeople and farmers
who turned out for. the meeting.
Mr.. Liggett gave brief outline of
the various measures passed by the
legislature at Bismarck and tried to
explain how the many new measures
would benefit the citizens of the
state. Many were interested, some
were not, some were convinced and
others were not but like all other sub
jects it has two sides and this being
a free and democratic country we all
have a right to our beliefs.
Liggett Explains
Mr.. Liggett explained in detail
many of the measures passed and
declared that no fairer legislation had
ever been given to the people of the
United States.
He explained the state banking
bill, terminal elevator and flour mills.
state hail insurance, home building
and railroad rate bills and dwelt for
some length of time on the newspa-
per bill which has become of so much
Importance to some of the Williams
county people. Many questions were
asked him on this subject which he
answered in very satisfactory man
ner. He explained how the new bill
would save the state and each county
many thousands of dollars each year
which is very true and has been
vouched for by county officials thru
out the state.
Tax Question
In commenting on the tax question
Mr.. Liggett made the statement that
the taxes would be a trife higher
this year and possibly next but would
be lower three years from now. He
said that in consideration Of the in
crease Of all other living expenses
that have come about in the past few

My Dear Beloved Son.
The distress and woe that fell up
on us no pen can describe. 70 re-
main with your two little sisters Rose
and Mary alive until now is nothing
less than a miracle and l still think
it is a dream.
Your brother Wadee who was our
only consolation was hanged by the
Turkish Government and your father
died from fever which attacked him
! soon after your brothers death and
Jamiel your sisters fiancee was put
to death by the Government and
your sister who was to be Jamiel's
future wife wandered out into the for
ests in terror and fear that she might
| escape the hands of the Turkist beast
the officer Morey Bey who went in
| search of her. She wanted to pro-
tect her virtue from the Turkish
brutes and finally was caught and
sent to the insane asylum where she
is now. There she was blessed by
having some food. The insane &C.
cording to the Turks, deserve food
more than we do.
Your brother, the infant, John
died from starvation as my breasts
could not provide milk for him and
who can buy milk for me? Myself
and your two little sisters are the
survivors of the whole family. We
were on the verge of death and the
graves were dug for us, but thank
the Lord before we were buried the
English hands delivered us and the
Arabians breeze swept our face anC
gave US life. But my dear son we
are naked and hungry and prefer tt
die rather than live without food ahC
clothing.
We have no strength to work for 8
living and besides there is no worl
for US to- do.
Your little sister drempt last night
that your travelling in the U. S. A
giving lectures and seeking the helI
of individuals and societies to fecc
the girls of Damascus and that you
have succeeded in sending provisions
to be distributed to the needy anG
that we received our share. tolc
her that this is dream only and that
she had better sleep some more sc
that she might eat again even ir
dream.
Could this dream, my dear child
be. true or have you forgotten your
mother and sisters and thinking only
of your comfort in the great rich Uni.
ted States.
We all need food and clothes. and il
you and others are not prompt an6
generous in aiding the hungry now
you may have to send coffins instead
of food.
The Lord may bless the generous
and cheerful giver. ..

through during the war. This letter

The cow Gamboge Knights
Form 29556O, owned by S. R.
Road of Hamilton County, has
just made a new record for Ten
nessee for a cow 5 years, month,
10 days old. She produced in
one year 11,257.3 pounds milk
containing 612.48 pounds fat, or
72l pounds of 85 percent butter;
average tost 5.87 percent.
The cow, Bello Baronetti 1886
Is, owned by w. Gettys formerly
held the recrod with IL, I40.3
pounds milk. and 677.3 pounds
of fat. When this COW died, the
cow, Majors Fancy Tormontress
owned by the Tennessee Export
ment Station, with a record Of
1O,44 pounds milk and 744
pounds of butter hold this record
as a living cow. Mr.. Reads

advantages Of The Sl SSils.
More live stock can be kept on

More live stock can be kept on
an acre.
This will equalize the winter
ing capacity of the farm with
that of summer grazing.
The silo enables the farmers
to make use of the entire corn
plant
Avoid loss in curing.
The corn plant remains in a
form which is nutritious. succu-
lent and palatable.
When considerable acreage is
harvested it is a cheap method
of harvesting.
When corn is abundant, it
may be stored in the silo and
fed when corn is higher in price.
Silage has been known to keep
for years.
Silage is a good supplement to
pasture during the dry months.
The addition of silage to the
ration enables the animal to util-
ize other roughages to better
advantage.
Takes up less storage space
since it can be stored in in a
convenient and compact form.
Waste is avoided by shatter-
ing. such as is the case when
fodder is fed.
The cost of the ration is re-
duced.
A silo on every farm in Jack
son county would be one of the
best investments the famer
! could make.

Haag's Mighty Shows gave
two exhibitions here to good
sized audiences last Monday.
The show does not claim to be
one of the biggest on the road
yet the performance was one of
the best seen here in years.
Many of the acts alone were
more than worth the price of
admission and would have been
a crdit to the largest aggrega-
tions. Mr.. Ernest Haag, owner
and manager, is a gentleman of
the highest type, and made last
ing friends of all who met him.
Unlike most of the travelling
aggregations Hagg's Show is
free from graft and gambling
devices. there being a standing
forfeit of a large amount for any
person or persons who have ever
been defrauded out of a penny
around his tents. His show had
never visited McMinnville before,
yet all who attened the exhibition
went away friends of the aggre-

JACKSON COUNTY SHOULD
HAVE GAME and FISH
PROTECTIVE ASSOC
IATION.

w. D. Howser, State Game
Warden, has the following to say
relative to protecting our wilC
game. birds.
The organization of a Game
and Fish Protective Association
in every County of the State, is
only way for us to protect oul
wild life.
1t has been just a few years
since the wild turkey and the
ruffed grouse. or native phea-
SAINT, could be heard in every
section of our State. Where can
we hear them now? When did
you see the Greater Yellowlegs.
the American Bittern, the Flori-
da Gallinule, the Snipe and Sand
piper, the Grebe, the Brant, or
the Wild Goose, or find the nest
of the Woodcock?
Do you hear the Bob-White's S
call as often as you did when a
boy? Do you not remember a
number of birds that you have
not seen for years?
Shall our birds disappear, or
will you help to protect them?
Will you not call together num-
ber of your friends and help to
organize an Association for the
protection of the birds and the
fish in yonr County?
BY cooperation alone. can We
hope to protect our wild life. and
if you are a farmer, a bird-lover,
a sportsman. you ought to be in
terested in the bird-life of your
community, your County, and
your State.
Let's get together and protect
our remaining birds, because
they afford the best sport to the
sportsman, the most pleasure to
the naturalist, the most help to
the farmer, and the most pro-
lection to the health and wealth
of our community mans best
friend, the bird. Will you do
your part?
Jackson county has thousands
of acres of woodland, where
game birds would thrive in an
abundance. if give the proper
protection. In a few years the
county would be we'll stocked
with game birds, which would be
of great value to the farmers,
and all others.
