fight which followed Lees loss Of
$l6O in Il crap game with kniifel at
the lattcr's shack. Lee attempted to
hit him with poker, kniffel claim
ed, and he used the hammer in self
defense.
Story Is Doubted
States Attorney Mark Amundson
and other officials discount knitfel's
story, however, and point to the fact
that the blow which evidently caused
Lees death was inflicted on the back
of his head.
Lees folks thought he had gone
to Dickinson to visit his brother,
Amundson said, and made no COM
ment when he failed to return home
on the night Of December 20. On
Christmas day, however, it became
known that his brother knew nothing
Of his whereabouts and suspicion
turned toward kniffel, who lived in
shack near the village.
older brother visited the KniTel
shack and there found the younger
Lees coat on bed.
Trunk Reveals Body
When further search developed no
additional clues attention of the
brother was directed toward the
trunk which was bound with new
rope.
Lees body was found inside.
When questioned as to whether he
did not have difficulty in getting
the body Of Lee, who was six feet
three inches tall and weighed 100
pounds, into the trunk, knitfel re-
piled, "Oh no. He was timber and
slid in easy" He displayed little
remorse at the crime and took the
life Imprisonment sentence stoicaily.
Finger Prints Tally
At first Kniffel contended that he
did not kill Lee or put the body in
the trunk but confessed when Os-
jord established finger prints on the
trunk as having been made by hnif-
fel. They tailed perfectly with the
finger-print records of Knitfel kept
at the state penitentiary, Osjord

state penitentiary last July at the
expiration of short term which
had been imposed upon him for
stealing IA trunk full of shoes.

HOUSE PASSES A
2-CENT GAS TAX
Representatives Complete Hiuh-
way Financing Program-BiII
Now Goes to Senate. ,

st. Paul-The house of representa-
tives completed its highway financing
program by passing a bill to levy
tax of two cents gallon upon gasoline
beginning July 1, the revenue to be
additional to the receipts from motor
vehicles taxes and the whole to be
used by the state highway depart
ment.
The gas tax bill will go to the senate
accompanied by bill which amends
the present schedule of motor vehicle
tax rates so as to provide for reduc-
ton of one-sixth in the tax, or a loss
Of $1,500,000 in revenue. The two
cent gas tax, by being made effective
July 1 this year, would raise $4,000
900 for highway purposes in 1925 and
would produce $4,OOOOOO in 1925.
II the senate passes the 2-cent gas
tax bill it assures the highway depart
ment $10,5OO,O0O for highway purposes
this year, figure that is based upon
$8,500,000 income from motor vehicle
taxes, which are now being collected,
and 100000 from gas tax.
License Cut Effective Next Year.
The bill reducing motor vehicle
taxes would not be effective until next
year II it becomes a law. Provided
the reduction were accepted by the
senate, the following would be the
1926 revenue for the highway depart
ment, it Is estimated: Motor vehicle
taxes, $7,50O,OOO; gasoline tax, $4,000
900; total, $11,500,000.
1t is figured that motor vehicle taxes
for 1925, at the present rate Of tax,
would be 100000, and allowing for
the one-sixth cut made by the house,
the total would be $7,500,000.
