Courtenay, N. D., Mar. 2O.-Re
6tutsman county officials today faced
an apparently blank wall In their ef-
forts to learn the identity Of the man
on men who yesterday slew Elmer
Bunkowske, II, assistant cashier Of
the First National bank here, and
escaped with about $1,000 In currency.
Several meager clues had been run
down today and had proved fruitless.
a~cco-s'-~ - 2. B. Milne, bank presi-
dent. and the officials were said to
be making local Investigations" to
ascertain II Bunkowske might have
been shot by q local person known
to him.
Leading in the investigation was
Sheriff II. b. spanton, Assistant
States Attorney Harry q. Rutgers
ana Coroner Harry Brastrup, Suits
man county.
No coroner's jury had been Inn
panelled at noon and It Is not certain
when formal determination by the
coroner will be made, Milne said.
Sum Stolen About $1,000
No check-up Of the amount taken
by the bandits had been made today,
Milne said, but the amount Is not x
pected to exceed $1,000.
No drafts or other negotiable In
struments and no silver was taken,
Milne said, the bandits ~contenting
themselves with taking all the cur
rercy In sight. The loss to the bank
is covered by insurance.
Among the clues traced down to-
s..--y G2s c.poaeeport that tuo YOUNG
men, not 1oc1l residentss had bee1l
seen near the bank at noon yester-
day. They produced an alibi, how
ever, which proved that they were In
the country at the time the shooting
apparently occurred.
Hold Funeral Service.
Short funeral services were being
held for BunkowSke here this after
noon. The body then will be taken
to his former home at Vergas, MIMI,
for funeral services and burial Sun
day afternoon.
The youths father, Louis Bunkow-
ske. accompanied by the family min
lister, Rev. George G. Ehlers, pastor
of the German Lutheran church at
Vergas, MIMI, arrived here last night.
In addition to his father the slain
man leaves two brothers.
Have Two Theories
Two different theories were adj
vanced as to the identity Of the slayer.
Some persons thought two strang-
ers, seen here yesterday and at VIM
bledon Tuesday, may have perpet-
rated the crime.
Others held to the theory that the
shooting might have been done by

Burleigh county will build a $2So,000
courthouse and jail.
With official reports from - and
unofficial reports from three other
precincts of the county's 60 polls tab
ulated this morning, 1t was ascer-
tanned that the bonding proposal Sc
cured the necessary 60 per cent ma
jority In the election Tuesday.
Tifty-two precincts gave q vote Of
1896 for and 500 against the court
house proposal while the same pre-
cincts polled 1887 votes for and 1,04a
against the construction Of q new Jail
In connection with the courthouse.
Seventy five per cent Of the votes In
the So precincts favored the court
house construction and 50 per cent
favored the new jail.
Precincts which hadn't made Of

Sterling, Trygg. Cromwell, Crofte,
Rock Hill, Phoenix, Richmond, Stei-

official reports have been received
from Teller, Sterling, and Crofte,
however.
With Mr.. Isaminger estimating tina:
less than 400 votes are to be heard
from in the remaining II precincts, 1t
appears certain that the drive has
been successful.
Construction Of the new county
building probably will not be started
until July, it was predicted this morn

the board Of county commissioners.
Mr.. win said that the bonding viii

said, I'VE can make arrangements fol
disposal of the bonds. But I doubt
that we will be able to have the plans
drawn up. accepted, and construction

This would indicate that Burleigh
county cannot expect completion Of
its new building until late next fall
or shortly after Jan. 1, 1881.
