Mysterious Assassin
Sought in Minnesota

Fergus Falls, Mimi, May 12.-(R)-
Victim Of mysterious assassin who
Is blamed for killing two other farm
ers, Ed Borchardt Of Corliss township,
Friday lay near death in q Perham
hospital.
Borchardt was shot q week ago
while he worked alone in field.
Hospital attendants held little hope
for the man. They have been unable
to remove the bullet and the wound
has become infected.
Two Otter Tail farmers were slain
last summer and no trace was found
Of the assassin. August Grace was
shot to death from ambush on his
farm east OF Fergus Falls. A short
time later Mong jacobson, recluse,
was trapped in his barn, tortured, shot
and then burned to death.

Tearing Down River Freight Depot
III: IS OLD LANDMARk:::
Hides Many Episodes in Its Bosom

Another Of Bismarck's old land
marks-the boat and rail freight depot
on the eastern shore Of the Missouri
r1ver-is being torn down.
The 53-year-old structure figured
IN many episodes Of the Capital City's
colorful pioneer days. It was at this
depot that the steamboats, Helena
and Sherman" bearing the surrend-
cred Chief Gall and Sitting Bull,
stopped on their trip down the river.
Chief Gall, probably the greatest
Of all Sioux warriors, and Sitting Bull
surrendered to the white men In the
spring Of 1883, at Poplar, Mont. They
had fled to Canada following General
George A. Clusters last stand at the
Little Big Horn, but found it difficult
to exist in the northern area because
Of cold and lack OF food and sur
rendered with their warriors.
All boats in the river stopped at the
depot after 1t was constructed by the
Northern Pacific Railway company In
1881 following the big flood Of that
spring. The railway extended its
tracks along the east side Of the de-
pot for loading and unloading, per-
hitting transfer of freight from boat
to train and vice versa.
The depot was the center Of q thriv-
ing community during l882-1883, when
the Northern Pacific bridge was be-
ing constructed across the river i'm
Inediately north. Hundreds of men
were employed on the project and
lived In shacks in the area. This
occasioned the rise Of temporary sa-
looms, boarding houses, stores and
other buildings.
The depot has not been in great use
for many years, however, and was
deteriorating rapidly.
Edwin r. Rupp, state coal mine in
spector, purchased the building from
the Benton Transportation company

SOME PARENTS SPEAK
Bismarck, N. D.
May II, 1888.

May IL, 1858.
Editor, Tribune:
We are told that the work carried
on by John Reel, director Of recrea-
ton and manager Of the World War
Memorial building and city auditor
ium, may be discontinued. Is this
good business policy?
In the above mentioned two munich
pal buildings, we have an investment
running close to half million dol
lars. The only dividends we can ever
expect to collect from the investment
is a wide community use. Under Mr.
Reels management we are enjoying a
very wide use Of both buildings, In
our opinion more than enough to JUS
tify the salary paid, but-will this use
continue without efficient manage
ment?
Then, too, the vast good being done
for our boys and girls and young peo-
pie through the community recreation
program Is very important. Play
grounds reduce delinquency. Juvenile
delinquency grows into adult crime.
Money spent on Fairgrounds will do
more than 10 times that amount spent
on jails and prisons. 1T is better
to build q fence at the top Of the
mountain than to build hospital at
the base Of the cliff"
We think Mr.. Reel should continue

taken by several state conventions Of
the North Dakota Farmers Union

sistently gone on record In opposition
