Remarkable!

Citizens of Grand Forks, North Da-

there had sweet corn for supper one
night last week. He picked it in his
own garden, thereby providing news
item that has been considered of e.
nough Importance to be sent by wire

North Dakota in October! Surely
this is important information.
Perhaps it is south Of the line. But
consider Manitoba: Strawberries in
bloom, ripe raspberries being picked,
watermelons the size of a ten-quart
pail, and all in October.
We have not heard directly of Man

As a Traitor

Washington, Nov. 5.-Secretary J

statement: "No decent man would
make such statements, and / am sure
Of my words when / say that"
Senator Thomas Watson of Georgia
whose charges that American soldiers
were hanged in France without trial,
late yesterday declared General La
fayette was a traitor.
The Georgia Senator, a noted
authority on French history, turned

charges Of hangings.
"Yes, France is civilized, all right"
the senator said. "She charges US

fought in. France is not a bowling
wilderness, but a civilized country
from which Lafayette came upon a
written contract with Silas Dean

which he sniffled.

|PENlBINA PEDDLER KILLS GIRL
AND THEN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE

Cavalier, N. D., Nov. 8.-Anna
Story, age l6, is dead, her mother is
in local hospital with broken jaw
and Sam Kali, a peddler, is in the
county Jail, near death from loss of
blood, as the result of an alleged at
tempted double murder and suicide,
yesterday, at the Story home, near
Leyden, Is miles from here.
A coroner's inquest held over Miss
Story's body returned verdict that
;'she was "killed by 80 calibre bullet,
shot by Sam Kalil." Although bare
ly able to talk, Kali stoutly maintains
innocence, Stateb Attorney Harold
Thomson said this morning. Jeal-
ousy is the motive given.
Kali may have to be sent to a
hospital to save his life and prelim-
mary hearing is being held up until
his condition is decided, Mr.. Thomson
said.
Version of Shooting
Mrs. Story's version of theshooting,
borne out by the story told by her
two young sons, Walter, aged 8 and
Robert, aged II, who were in the
house at the time of the shooting,
charges that Kalil, jealous of suit
or of Miss Story, stole into the room
where Mrs. Story and her daughter
were sleeping and shot Miss Story
through the breast, causing her death
instantly. Awakened by the shoot
ing, Mrs. Story leaped at Kali, ac-
cording to her story, but not before
Kali shot her through the cheek,
breaking her jaw. Kali then fled
down stairs and she followed him, the
two engaging in battle before she
took the gun, which had become
locked, away from him, she says.
Kalil then grabbed a butcher knife
and followed her up stairs, threaten
ing to kill her, Mrs. Story told States
Attorney, but she took the knife away
from him and threw it through an
open window as he tried to slash his
own throat.
Mother Gives Alarm
Grabbing her youngest son, she ran
to Leyden, half a mile away, to turn
in the alarm. County officers who
arrived an hour later, found the
daughter dead on the bed upstairs,
and Kalil lying on mattress with his
throat slashed and nearly dead from
loss Of blood. Mrs. Story alleges
that while she and Walter were on
their way to town, Kali ran outside
and picked up the knife, which she
had thrown away and with this, cut
his throat before she returned.
Letters to Miss Story from another
young man were found on the person
of Kali after his arrest. According
to the girls mother, Kali had been
jealous Of the other young man for
some time. Kali, a peddler, had
been rooming down stairs in the Story
home, while Mrs. Story and her
daughter slept upstairs.
While Mrs. Story's face wound is
serious, she will recover, States At
torney Thomson believes. Neither
Of thesons were injured in the affair.

Hangings In France Without Tri:I
Denied

Chicago, Nov. 5.-Harry D. Green
of Elkan, Green & Co., who made a
special Investigation of conditions in
France as chief historian for the
adjutant generals department of
the A. E. F., said there was no foun-
dation for the charges made by
Senator Thomas E. Watson Of Geor-
gia that soldiers were hanged in
France without trial and somatims
without being convicted.
Mr.. Green mixed with the soldiers
as we'll as the officers. He said
there were no rumors of men being
hanged unjustly.
He said two Negroes had been
hanged at Brest for an attack upon a
so year old woman who was the keep
er of q disorderly house. The wom-
an did not die, but the men were
hanged in spite of the protests Of
the French officials. This case, Mr..
Green says, is the nearest to an in
Justice which he encountered.
A white second lieutenant, he said,
was shot at Is-sur-Till in the presence
of 5000 Negro troops. This ex-
ecution, Mr.. Green said, followed a
trial and conviction Of the officer for
murder. Only Negro troops and a
few white officers witnessed the ex-
ecution.
At st. Nazaire, Mr.. Green stated, a
captain in the medical corps was exc
cuted for inoculating enlisted men
with disease germs instead Of ty-
phoid fever preventative. This cap
tain, said Mr.. Green, was from Gin
cinnati and Of German parentage.

SOLVES SECRETS
OF LIFE IN POLAR CIRCLES
Survived Five Years of Arctic Peril
BY Living Just as Eskimos
Lived

Vilhjalmur Stefanson, the noted
Arctic explorer who is to lecture
here on the evening of November Is,
next Wednesday, at the high school
auditorium upset all the old theories
of the arctic during his five years
spent in the polar circles ending in
1918. Instead of carrying large sup
plies of food, he learned to live off
the land on native animals and fish.
Instead of carrying fuel, he burned
seal blubber. Instead of taking a
regiment of dogs and a long sledge
train, he and his party travelled with
six dogs and one sledge and he
brought the dogs back "fat as pigs"
according to his own description.
Instead of being covered with snow
Mr.. Stefanson found the arctic hills
full of fertile grass and capable of af-
fording pasturage to enormous herds
of reindeer, the meat Of the future,
according to Mr.. Stefanson. In his
great lecture, My Five Years in the
Arctic" which is to be given here,
Mr.. Stefanson describes life in the
northern regions as being most fas-
cinating in it's wealth of detail as to
travel, food, seal hunting, bear hunt
ing, clothing, difficulty of progress
and many other features,
Mr.. stefanson's first experiences
in living off the country was oc-
casioned by necessity, owing to the
destruction of his ship, Karluk,
which carried most of his provisions.
He believed, however, that he could
live off the land and this he and his
party proceeded to do. He studied
the Eskimo and learned to live ex-
actly as the Eskimo lived. He learn
ed to build ice houses as the Eskimo
builds them In this way he was
able to undergo the hardships of the
North and made life and travel in the
circle comparatively simple.
