ter the moose was adjusted, but
the knife would have been found
nearby IT, this had been the case.
/; The only. knife known to be on the
place was one of foreign make with
a blade about five inches long, and
this was. used to cut bread, meat,
and all other purposes for which a
knife is usually used. This knife
+ has disappeared, and cannot be
I found anywhere. The strap had
practically no blood on it whatever,
and this would also indicate that
the cutting was done after the
moose was adjusted, as deceased s
hands were all bloody The only
/, way that we can see in which the
deceased would be able to do the
cutting anywhere else than in the
hen house and lose the. knife would
first, then go out Of the building,
cut his throat and wrists. hide the
knife, and return to stick his head
into the moose without the assist
ance Of his hands. - So s.,

Wednesday afternoon before his
death when AeE;was at Woburn to
assist in. doing some work on the

Canada and l am afraid that in
some way whisky running along
the border is not likely to be ef-
fectively dealt with from this side
for some time"
The liberal attitude of the law
and officials OF saskatchewan to
whisky running and the numerous
good roads leading into and thru
North Dakota has made this state
the highway for the illegal whisky
traffic into seven states. Last
summer the traffic was most vi
cious. High powered cars were
driven by reckless driver, whn
would not give the road to teams
ard other cars and who by fast
driving the show of weapons and
by threats intimidated the people
along the border and whisky
routes.
Numerous complaints have come
to our Office ii, this matter.
I1twlessness Will Increase
Whisky running, unless stop
ped will assume more lawless at
t'tnde the ccming season. The
peonle of the state are looking to
the legislature to pass early in the
session and put into operation eff
fective if not drastic legislation to
stop whisky running Shcrffs at
the border cannot cope with it.
Federal officers have shown that
they will not cope with it. The
passage of house bill No. S., which
brings our law into accord with the
federal law and provides for the
seizure of cars carrying liquor, the
"assage of the amended attorney
GENERALS inspection law and the
passage of some law alloting a per-
centagc OF the net proceeds from
cars seized and sold by the state,
will provide ample means for the
stopping of whisky running" says
Mr.. Watkins.
