FORD CAR STOLEN
IN BOTTNEAU

Saturday night the Ford car belong
ing to Ed. Kjelshus of near Souris
was stolen off the streets Of Bottineau
but was later found on side street.
Examination of the gas tank proved
that the car had been run far enough
to leave the tank two gallons less OF
gas than when Mr.. Kjelshus parked it.
Monday night the Ford Coupe of
Geo. Bells was moved from alongside
the Nero hardware store to over near
the Baptist church where it was
found, after officers called neighbor-
ing towns to be on the lookout for
the car. 1t is thought the Bell car was
moved by local boys with the idea OF
playing a joke on Mr.. Bell but when
the county is put to an expense OF
$500 or $4,000 in telephone calls
and local car owners are "up-in- the
air. as TO the possibility of losing
their cars, it is long ways from a
practical joke.

LATER

The above article was written last
week but the Sheriff's office thought
best to keep it out of the papers as
they had a working clue as to the
murderer, however this was run down
and found to be without foundation.
Since the above article was written
it has also been definitely learned
that the mans name is VIM. Mofstad
and that he lived within two miles
of Barnrm, MINI, where his wife and
children are. The deceased carried
$4,000 in life insurance. He, in COM
pany with three other men of near
Barnum came to Leeds about August
goth, where two Of the other men Sc
cured work, while one returned to
Barnum and Mofstad left Leeds on
August 21st to go up towards the Ca
madam line in search of work.
From the above it would be impos'
sible for Mofstad to have been deac
more thar two weeks.
A banker and another man of Bar
mum were here on Monday and identi
fled the dead man as VIM. Mofstat
and the remains were shipped to Bar
mum for burial.

PECULIAR ACCIDENT

E. A. Moline and E. D. Bower met
with an automobile accident Sunday
evening. At about 8 o'clock, Mr.. Mo-
line was going west on the state road
while Mr.. Bower was headed for Bot
tineau and when about opposite the
Emmerson farm Mr.. Bower Stacked
up to keep from hitting couple of
calves when Mr.. Moline came along
with his Buick, striking one of the
calves, throwing it against Mr.. Bow
er's car in such a way as to break a
fender, running board and damage
the body as we'll as setting the cal
into the ditch. The Moline car suf-
fered a bent axle, damaged radiator
and lamps and turned the car COM
pletely around in the road. The cali
was killed outright and Mr.. Bower is
authority for the statement that when
it comes to throwing calves Mr.. Mo-
line is some ball player.

FAIR NOTES

The Shorthorn and Hereford Sale
bills are out announcing the sale of
fifty head of Registered Shorthorns
and twenty registered Hereford cat
tie on October 18th. Shorthorn sale
will commence at o'clock in the af-
ternoon and Hereford sale will fol-
low Immediately after. Frank Hyland
of Devils Lake has been secured to
auctioneer the sale.
An endeavor was made to hold q
meeting of the Commercial Club Mon
day night to talk over the Fall fair
matter, but the turnout was so limited
that no meeting was held. We don't
know whether it was just apathy or
carelessness ON the part of the busi-
ness men. Anyway, there should be a
settlement as to just what will be
planned for the. building of an inter-
esting show around the livestock sale.
The opportunity is ours to make the
third annual corn and potato show in
crease in proportions to the extent
of rivaling a real fall fair.
Carl w. Mason, Minot Fair Secre-
tary says in the Ward County Fair
notes: "The fair grounds ought to be
devoted to larger uses than a scant
four days fair once a season. The in
vestment is large, the opportunities
are many ard the needs are great" "
The above is our sentiments, exactly,
in regard to Bottineau County Fair
grounds. The investment is large and
the risk in the way of suitable wealth
er in the staging one event each sea-
son in great. Why not stage fall
agricultural fair for a fair benefit
as long as the facilities are ample to
do so? Many Bottineau people were
deprived of an opportunity to take in
the fair last summer because of the
heavy rains and they would be glad to
see good fall fair even though lack
ing in some of the attractive sport
ing features of a summer fair.
There are numerous pumpkins and
Hubbard squash grown in Bottineau
this year which would go a long way
toward adorning a fall exhibit.
The following taken from Minot
Fair news: "Mrs. L. A. Corey has
been named superintendent of the
womeLs' department and has named
an efficient corps of assistants. Mrs
Andy Johnston of Bottineau, for II
years actively connected with the
Bottineau fair, will be adviser and
one Of the judges of that department
and Miss Maude Woods of Bottineau
will be the other judge.
Remember the dates for the big
sale and other doings October 18th
ard 14th. About month from now
and time waits for no man."

DEAD MAN FOUND
WEST OF bOTT|NEAU

Monday afternoon while out repair
ing the wire fence on the east edge
of his farm, miles west Of Bottineau
P. P. Moe found the body of dead
man lying face downward in the tall
grass about a rod off the road. Mr..
Moe Immediately drove to the Eugene
Fulton farm and called the sheriff's S
office and VIM. Collins, Deputy Sher-
iff, DIR. J. A. Johnson, Joseph An
drieux,. M. M. Campbell and others
at once left for the Moe farm, where
as above stated the body of dead
man was found.
Examination disclosed that the body
must have been here for not less than
six weeks and possibly two months,
as the flesh had decayed to such an
extent that when the body was rolled
over, the head separated from it and
the skull was practically bare.
Examination of the dead mans
pockets revealed some check stubs
and one of these stubs was filled out
for the amount of approximately
$1O75.00 and was payable to A. c..
Miller. In another pocket was found
a receipt from Banum, Mimi, given
in favor of VIM. Mofstad, which is
thought to be the name of the dead
man. Another pocket included watch
and band ring while in another was
found tire tester, leaving the suppo-
sition that the man had been an auto
mobile driver.
Further examination showed a bull
let hole in the skull just above the
right temple and was of such size
that one would be led to believe the
gun used had been of As calibre and
that it was a high velocity shell was
further substantiated by the fact that
it had broken the lower left jaw bone
and had carried through the head, be-
ing shot at a downward angle.
The remains were brought to Bot
tineau early Tuesday morning ard DR..
F. F. Lang, of Lansford, County Cor
oner, was notified and upon his ar
rival an inquest was held at which
time it was decided by the jury that
the man must have been murdered
due to the bullet going through the
head at the angle above stated.
Whether the mans name was VIM.
Mofstad or his address was Barnum,
Mimi, is not definitely known, al
though the local sheriff's office i'm
mediately wired the sheriff at Bar
mum to get particulars if possible.
At the time of going to press nothing
has been heard from Barnum.
The coroner's jury reached the de-
cision than the man had most likely
been shot in an automobile and in
this case the shot must have been
fired by another occupant of the car.
The suicide theory is impossible with
the bullet entering the head at the
temple and coming through at the
jaw bone.
That the body had been dragged
from the road to where it was found
and that it had been dragged by the
feet, there is no question, as the cloth
ing was pulled up in way to indi-
cate it had been dragged at least the
distance from the road, and was no
doubt done by lone man, as had
there been two other men they most
likely would have carried the body
to the spot where it was found.
