and killed by. Jack Collier (Okla-
homa Jackl Tuesday night. Col-
? ?lier came into Kenmare the next
day and gave himself up. "
The shooting occurred at Coz
liel's shack about four. miles north
Of Kenmare. It seems that Col
lier had been having trouble with
a man named Alfred Hanson. and
attempted to shoot him some time
during the day, but was prevented
from doing So. Thomas O'Neil
caught Collier and held him until
Hanson made his escape. Later in
the day O'Neil say. Reynolds and
told him not to &c near o!lier as
he was drunk and on the warpath.l
But Reynolds did not heed his
warning and went. to the shack
WITH fatal results. Both men are
miners and both unmarried. The
shooting occurred some time during
the night and was not discovered
until Collier came into town and
told the. authorities that there: was
a dead man out there. Reynolds
was shot four times, three times
through, the body and one shot
struck him in the neck which is:
thought to be the one that caused
his death. 5l..3:

rum RUNNER DIES
IN M|NOT HOSPITAL

Minoty N. D., Feb. 3.-Avey
Erickson, the whisky runner who
shot and killed Officer. Fahler last
Thursday morning died in the ST..
Joseph's hospital. Thursday, from
pneumonia and it is thought tha.
he had weakened himself by wor~
rying over the crime he had COM
mitted. His physicians told him
several hours before that his
chances of recovery were very
slight and he didn't appear to take
much interest in whether he lived
Or died. .=
Mrs. Erickson, who has been
here with him for several days, had
left for their home in Chisholm.
Minn. to arrange for money tc
fight his prosecution. Those who
attended him have the impression
that he was not a hardened cr;m-
inal but that he has recently l"st
quite a sum of money and took this
method of getting easy money to
build up his lost fortunes
The BODY was taken to the Van
Fleet undertaking parlors to await
the return of Mrs. Erickson.

the last four years have taken the
matter Of obtaining artificial rain
for Bottineau up with Charles Hai-

ing rain for the truck and fruit
farmers in California.
"Mr. Hatfeld's theory" Writes
George P. Clements of the Cal1for-
mia agricultural department, sis to
create an artificial vortex or water
spout. To do this he erects sew
eral towers. 20 to 80 feet high
around a body of water, the larger
the better. Tanks surmount these
towers and contain lnumber Of
trays of the same iron as galvan-
lied iron. which contain salt, pre-
sumablv sulphate of copper. These
are connected up with the earth by
wires supposedly for radio activity,
although it may be nothing more
than galvanic electricity" .

Editorial Opinion
FAIR PLAY WINNING.

From the New York Tribune.
With the railway employees con-
tinuing at their posts. and with dis
cretionary power placed in the hands
Of committee OF FIVE. the outlook
is bright that railway strike will
be averted; that as the railroad men
joyfuily accept decisions which put
wages up they will yield to one
which says that changed costs Of
living and fairness to public which
pays the bills not only warrant but
demand a small decrease.
Congratulations may be justly ex-
tended to the railroad men. It is
true that fair play requires accept
ance Of the cut. But men are men,
and in an eager. pushing world,
where IL is the habit to look after
ones own interests without too nice
a regard for the rights of others, it
Is a notable thing to have great
masses Of men exercise self-re-
straint.
The railroad worker thinks, and
what is even better he is not deaf
to the appeals to his sense Of justice.
Thus, he is armed against the solici-
tauons Of professional agitators who
fatten on trouble. In the present
conditions he realizes he is a pas
senger in a common boat and that,h he
cannot escape wetting If he rocks
