Donations through the Christmas
kettles and through, checks amounted
to Approximately $430-a portion of
which was used to bring Christmas
cheer to many poor families and
the remainder of which is to be
used for relief work throughout
this year "A total of 72 Christmas
baskets were distributed among the
poor and Envoy Mrs. P. A. Lee
states that she is more than satis-
fled and appreciative of the kind eff
forts of the Douglas citizens.
The day after an appeal for sew
eral needy families was published
in the Douglas Dispatch, Mrs. Lee
received dozens of offers from local
folks to help those in distress while
some residents even went SO far as
to aid the families directly without
calling the Salvation Army.
Mrs. Lee stated Friday however
that there is still much work to be
done here and that she hopes local
people interested will get in touch
with her. AS she does net have a car
in which to collect clothes and
other commodities given to the cause,
she trusts that Douglasites will call
her and make arrangements to bring /
the various goods down to her from
their homes.

KILLED COUPLE
(By Dispatch A. 2. Wirel

[ BY Dispatch a. Il. W1re1
FORSYTH, Mont, Jan. 8.-The bod
les of Peter Jacob, farmer, ad Of
his niece, Miss Matheilda Lathsch
were discovered in a hay stack on
the Jacob farm three miles east of
here late today, victims, officers say,
of Arthur Thomas Hesterling, 30 who
told them he slew the pair on De-
cernber 20 to send them into great
er happiness than life ever can give"
The crime was discovered when
neighbors came to the jacob ranch
to make a social call.
Hesterling, who admits he escaped
from a sanitarium at Knoxville, To-
wa, in August, 1924, told officers he
came to the Jacob hone on Decem-
her 20 and found nobody at home. He
was preparing a meal, Hesterling de-
clared, when jacob and his niece
came home.
He confessed shooting Jacob with
a shotgun and not having any more
ammunition, he declared he struck
Miss Lathsch with the gun barrel,
knocking her to the ground jacob
was not killed, he said, and strug.
g1ed to his feet. Hesterling then
ended Jacobs life with an axe, he
confessed, and then slew the girl in
the same fashion. Throwing the Nbod-
les into a wheelbarrow, he trundled
them to a haystacl1 where he covered
them, Hesterling told County Attor-
ney Haines and Deputy Sheriff Allen.
Snow covered traces of the deed and
it was not until today that it was
discovered when Mrs. Kay Young and
Peter Jacobi a nephew Of the dead
man, motored to the ranch house to
visit.
Hesterling, who remained in the
ranch house, ran across the fields
When the two visitors appeared He
was captured soon afterWard by
ranchers and led his captors to the
haystack where the bodies We're
found.
