WATCH CLUE TO
FIXING NAMES
OF SLAIN MEN
jamestown Authorities Be.
lieve That Men Murdered by
Berger were Missouri Men
STILL INVESTIGATING

jamestown, N. D., Feb. 22.-Doubt
is expressed by jamestown authori-
ties, upon receipt of telegraphic in
formation. that the two youths kill
ed by joe Berger at a strawstack
near there last August were the two
Berger told Warden Lee that he kill
ed.
For sometime authorities have
been corresponding with parties at
Gilman City, Missouri, who believe
that the two missing men were from
that state. A watch was found on
one of the slain men. A telegram
was received from Gilman City by
States Attorney Chase at jamestown
giving description of watch worn
by one of the Missouri men.
The number of the works and case
checked with the number found in
the watch on the dead man, it is
stated. They were known as Nini-
fred Stookcy and James Kcown.
Authorities at jamestown are ex-
pected to sift the evidence to be pre-
sented that the two men murdered
by Joe Berger at strawstack near
jamestown last August were Fred
Miller and Alex Ruffer OF Chasclcy,
North Dakota. Warden j. j. Lee of
the state prison, who interviewed
Berger, believes that they are the
victims.
The two young men left Chaseley
on July Z, 1923, and have not been
heard from, according to letter
from Alex r. Fischer of Chaseley to
the warden. Ruffer is described as
l8 years old, feet 10 inches in
height, weighing 1876 pounds, brown
eyes, blonde hair and inclined to be
somewhat Of "a sport" Miller was
l8 years, old 5 feet 10 inches in
height, gray eyes, blonde hair, a
strong youth who liked to wrestle
and who would take on anyone
When Warden Lee first went to |
Berger he told him the two he killed
probably were about 16 years old |
lie looked at the picture of Miller, !
which was bust picture of a youth |
wearing fine clothes, and doubted if |
lie was one of them. Shown a pic
ure of Ruffer, clad in ovcralls, he |
declared that's the fellow" He
also declared the names were as
given by the warden, and that one Of |
he pair liked to wrestle.
While prison authorities do not |
consider Berger reliable at all times,
;he warden expressed belief that in.
'estigation may disclose that the |
missing Chaseley youths were the
,ictims.
