MAY SOLVE MYSTERY

: Starkweather, N. D., May 1.-THE
mystery of the disappearance of
Levi Knisley, farmer near here, who
was supposed to have Skipped the
country" in 1906, may be solved in
the finding of human skull on the
farm where he lived.
The find was made by Walter
Larson, who unearthed the skull
when digging around an old cell
lar. Larson brought the skull to
Starkweather and oldtimers recall
ed the story of Knisley, who had
lived on the farm and became deep
ly involved in financial and domes-
tic troubles, finally disappearing.
Afterwards the house in which he
lived was moved to town and most
people had forgotten that the man
had ever lived there.
Other theories advanced, how
ever, are that the skull is that Of
an Indian, or that of white man
killed by the Indians before the
country was settled.

DELEGATE OF
SOVIET SLAIN
FOR REVENGE
Assassin Declares Soviet Envoy
Pays for Sufferings to Kin
in Red Terror
CONFERENCE GOES ON
Because Soviet Representative
Was Unbidden Negotiations
Not Halted
CONFERENCE GOES ON

Lausanne, May 1.-THE murder of
NJ. Novorsky, head of the Russian
Soviet delegation to the Near East
conference, by Maurice Alexander
Conradi, Il Swiss, who once served
in the Russian Army, has stirred
Switzerland as has no single event
since the assassination of Empress
Elizabeth of Austria at Geneva in
1898,
Conrad, who was seized by the
police in the Hotel Cecil, after he
! had killed Vovorsky and wounded
two attaches of the Russian dele
cation, maintained that he acted in
an effort to avenge his father and
uncle for the mistreatment they re-
ceived at the hands of the Bolshe-
wiki during the Red terror"
The general impression in Near
East conference circles is that the
excitement caused by last evenings
event will not directly affect the
course of negotiations because Vow
| ky was not regarded as an Off
cial Russian delegate inasmuch as
the Soviet government was not in
vited to participate in the proceed
ings.
Switzerland keeniy feels the
position in which Conradis action
has placed her and fears world op-
inion may hold iorai patriotic as
sociations morallyS ard materially
responsible. ~.

Fires in Hotel
Most of the guests in the dining
room had finished dinner when the
assassin drew his revolver and ad-
vancing quickly, fired upon the Rus
slams. The first bullet struck Vo-
vorsky behind the ear. He fell
! across the table and uttered no
word, He probably died instantly.
He was struck by other bullet also.
Panic pervaded the hotel. 1t was
half hour before the police arriv-
cd. Meanwhile the wounded men
had been carried to their rooms il
an unconscious condition. But
Ahrens, Vovorskys companion, soon
regained his senses long enough
to say: "Switzerland will pay dearly
for this"
Fascist Disclaim Responsibility
BY some the murder of Vovorskv
is regarded as a tragic sequel to his
attacks on the Swiss government for
refusing q wise for Russian cour-
ier to Berlin. The recently organiz-
ed fascist took up the matter and
warned Vovorsky and his colleagues
to leave Lausanne by tomorrow. Vo-
vorsky ignored the warning.
The leaders of the fascist, how
ever, disclaimed responsibility for
the crime. They asserted that the
only plan they had in view was to
kidnap Vovorsky tomorrow and es-
cort him over the Italian frontier.
The assassin Conradi tonight told
the police that he was born in Petro-
grad of Swiss parentage. He said
he served as captain in the Rus
sian army during the world war.
He is an engineer.
