Quarrel Leads to Fatal Shoot.
ing of Hakon Kelgeson;
Slayer Wounds Self

Grafton, N. d., June 10.-In dis
pute over a difference of 25 cents in
payment for a small painting job
Ole Dahlen shot and instantly killed
Hakon Helgeson late yesterday and
then fatally wounded himself. After
Staying Helgeson, Dahlen threatened
to shoot Mrs. Helgeson who with her
six children had witnessed the shoot
ing in the back yard of their home.
When Mrs. Helgeson ran into the
house to escape, Dahlen shot him
self and died an hour later in the
hospital.
David Johnson of Park River,
Walsh county coroner, will conduct
an inquest today. =.
The dispute arose when Hedges on
became dissatisfied with painting
work Dahlen was doing in the Hell
geson kitchen and dismissed the
painter. Dahlen left the premises
but returned about 6 o'clock and
demanded pay for the work he had
done. Helgeson offered $125 but
Dahlen insisted on $1.50, according
to authorities who investigated the
tragedy. After some arguments
Dahlen drew an automatic pistol and
shot Helgeson three times, threat
ened Mrs. Helgeson and turned the
weapon on himself.
Helgeson was a brick and cement
contractor and had lived here for IL
years. Little is known about Dab
len who lived here for the last two
years.

New York, June l0-The cham
sustained setback last night when
the giant negro heavyweight failed
to knock out BARLEY Madden, rug
ged west side Irishman in 10
round match at the greensboro sta
dunn.
Wills won the judges decision and
gained it by decisive margin, but
Madden, fighting one of the most
courageous battles seen in a metro
pOlitan ring in years stood up under
the negros most terrific attacks.
BARLEY Badly Cut
Wills, employing his great advan-
tage in reach and 28 pound margin
in weight, to good advantage, bat
tered Madden all over the ring, and
opened nasty cuts about his oppon-
ent's ears, mouth and eyes, but the
hardest punches of the negro failed
to tmore than shake the tough west
slider.
Fighting the last four rounds with
a stream of blood binding his Wis.
ion, Madden stood up under ter
rifle bombardment and at times
brought the crowd of 10000 to its
feet in recognition of his gameness
by lashing out in a counter often
sive.
Madden Hurt Twice
Wills had Madden on the verge
of a knockout at least twice, once
in the fifth round when a shower OF
blows to the head sent the Irishman
reeling to a corner and again in the
18th when it seemed that Madden
must go down under the attack that
sent blood gushing from the cuts
about his head

Prosperity in the metal mining in
dustry is of vital importance to the
western states.
The Bank of California realizes the
value of this industry as a great en-
ployer of labor, a great taxpayer and
a great field for investment.
IN display advertisements in the
daily press this bank has said:
THE west pours from its mines
diversity of minerals which not only
form the basis of our nations wealth
but also the backbone of the Industrial
life of the land. The demand for such
wealth will always exist and II will
always be the fortune of the west to
mand.
There is every reason for the bust
ness concerns and individuals of the
west to face the future with confid-
ence and courage and a determination
to take advantage of the opportunities
that return to a state of healthy
prosperity holds in store"
It comes from an institution that has
been closely identified with mining for
many years. and still has an abiding
faith in the industry upon which its
fortunes were founded.
