A young Hungarian by the name of Anton Weisman was found dead on the north fork of Cedar Creek Jan. 14. The young man was a sheep herder and had been working for Martin Siem for two years and nine months. He went out with the sheep that morning but when evening came the sheep came home without their shepherd boy. One of the boys suspecting that all was not right went out to look for the rest of the sheep and found the young man dead, with a Winchester lying in his left hand. The bullet went in his mouth and blew out two of his teeth. The rest of his teeth and his lips were powder burnt, the bullet coming out through the top of his head. The coroner's jury laid the cause to accidental shooting. The deceased was 24 years old and single. His parents live in the old country. An uncle of the deceased took charge of the body. - Medora Herald

Mr. Brubaker intends building a handsome residence at Terry. In the mean time they will start housekeeping in a suit of rooms as soon as the furniture can be placed in position.

Tells Son To Kill
Father
Tragedy at Page, N.D., Grows Out of
Long-Standing Family Quarrel
Fargo, N.D., Feb. 20 -
Fred Cramer, a painter of Page, this county, was
shot and killed by his sixteen year old son, Arthur,
who says he acted under instructions from his mother
who admits that she told the boy to shoot.
Mrs. Cramer and the boy are in the local jail
awaiting trial, which will probably occur Feb. 26.
The family relations of Mr. and Mrs. Cramer had been
strained for a long time, and recently Mrs. Cramer
and the boys resided on the second floor and Cramer
on the first floor of their home.
The night of the tragedy, she and her son insist,
Cramer came home angry and threatened to invade the
second floor and attack Mrs. Cramer, and he was
coming up stairs to their apartments when he was
shot. Mrs. Cramer says she would have shot
him, but was too nervous to hold the revolver, and
ordered her son to fire on the father. The boy
obeyed only too well and the one shot was fatal.

It seems that when Chas. Kramer went east last fall he got married. This much we have learned but no more except that he went back and brought the lady out. Since he got here he has stayed so close home (strange to relate) that we have had no chance to interview him so have not learned the lady's former name or any other particulars, therefore our readers will have to be content with the bare fact that Charley is married and living on his claim south of here that he hasn't time to come to town. The Republic extends best wishes and congratulations. - Republican.

Two Boys Asphyxiated
Glen Ullin News:
Two young men, George and Michael Earhardt, 16 and
21 years old respectively, met death in a well last
week, Tuesday, being overcome by gas. The
young men were digging a well on their father's farm
in southeastern Hertinger county. They had got
down to a depth of about sixty feet when they struck
rock. To remove this they put in a charge of
dynamite. The charge failed to explode and
after waiting a reasonable length of time, George
went down into the hole, being lowered by the use of
a rope in the hands of his brother. He had no
sooner reached the bottom than he called to his
brother to pull him up. Unfortunately the boy
had not fastened the rope around his body, depending
upon his strength to raise and lower himself.
He clung to the rope however, until within a few
feet of the top, when his strength gave out and he
fell to the bottom. He was still conscious and
called for help. In his anxiety to save
George, Michael then lowered himself into the well,
but the gas fumes were so strong that he too, was
overcome. The father of the boys was present
but was unable to assist them and both were dead
when taken from the well a few minutes later.
The family located in Hettinger country about a year
ago and are almost total strangers to the people of
this community. The remains were brought to
St. Joseph cemetery ten miles south of Glen Ullin
where the interment was made.

Mr. Olson had been to the city with members of his crew to get his pay check cashed. He was returning to Hoyt on a hand car accompanied by Ben Neshen, Gilbert Laster and Mrs. Louis Sorenson, who with her husband, keeps the section house at Hoyt. The handcar was being propelled at a fair rate of speed between Colgate and Hoyt when a freight appeared around a sharp curve, coming at a good speed toward the city. Neshen and Laster jumped, after an ineffectual attempt to lift the handcar from the track, and Mrs. Sorenson also reached a place of safety. Mr. Olson, however, seemed to fear disaster to the freight. Anyway he lost his life while trying to remove the handcar. His back was toward the engine and he was in a stooping posture when he was struck in the head and instantly killed - Review

Body Found In
Cistern
Woman is Believed Accidentally to Have
Fallen Into Well
The body of Mrs. Wallin, who disappeared last
November and efforts to locate whom have proved
unavailing, has been found in a cistern in the rear
of the Merchants hotel at Lidgerwood.
Mrs. Wallin was the wife of a farmer living ten
miles south of there and had been in Minneapolis for
medical treatment. She suddenly developed
mental trouble and was placed on a train and sent
home. Just as the train reached Lidgerwood the
woman sprang from it and ran. There was a
blizzard raging at the time, and it was supposed
that the unfortunate woman had wandered out on the
prairie and had perished. Search for her body
has continued, but without result, until a hired
girl at the hotel found the body.
It is believed that the woman was going to the hotel
to seek shelter from the storm and in the darkness
fell into the cistern and was drowned.

The remains of John Sutherland, the sheep herder whom the Pioneer made mention of as having disappeared last week, were found last Friday by one of Geo. Gerry's herders. The body was in a washout which contained about eight feet of water, and from all appearances the man had drowned, but of course what the circumstances surrounding the drowning were no man can say; altho many theories have been advanced, the most probable of which seems to be that the horse, while drinking, had stepped over the edge of the cut and thus precipitated both himself and rider into the water. In this case the theory is also advanced that the man might have been hurt from the fall and rendered unable to get out. - Pioneer

Chas. Evans and Mrs. Zena Zink had decided to be married in a short time, but on Monday Judge Paxton came down from Sentinel Butte on official business on No. 8 intending to return on No. 5. In the meantime it was suggested to Mr. Evans that the presence of the judge afforded an excellent opportunity to be married at once. Acting on the suggestion Mr. Evans went to the hotel kitchen, where his intended had been officiating as cook for a few weeks and pleaded in his most persuasive style for an immediate marriage saying: "Come on Honey let's get married right away, the judge is here and I can't wait any longer no how." The bride to be said "alright" and the judge and friends were summoned at once. There was no time to don conventional black or white silk with bride's roses as the judge momentarily expected his train, so the bride appeared with such hurried changes in apparel as she was able to make and the groom in his shirt sleeves with his trousers tucked in his spurred cowboy boots. When the judge propounded to him the question - "Do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?" the groom replied with great unction - "you bet your life."

was sent after a couple of cars that were moving
down the track and it is thot (sic) that he was
standing on the platform of the caboose and, being
unable to see the approaching engine, was not
prepared for the bump the cars received when the
coupling was attempted. He was thrown off the
platform beneath the wheels of the cattle car and at
least one pair of trucks passed over his breast,
death being instantaneous.

Mrs. A. T. Dearborn died at 6 a.m. at the family
residence on South Second Avenue after an illness of
thirteen weeks. Some two years ago deceased
underwent an operation for a cancerous growth on the

but it is the opinion of the physicians that in some
manner this growth had returned and ultimately
caused her death. For the past four months the
deceased has been suffering from paralysia and
rheumatism.
Deceased was
born 63 years ago in Virginia and came to this state
some 18 years ago. The members of the family

Murder On The
Milwaukee
Railroad Contractor Killed and Employee
Wounded
On Monday evening word was received at Beach of a
shooting affray at Beaver in the south end of the
county on the new Milwaukee line. From details
we have received, it appears as tho one Sam
Vanscuyver, a bartender in a tent saloon, shot and
killed A. T. Guilliland, a contractor, on Sunday
evening about 9 o'clock p.m. States
Attorney Keohane, Justice Gardner, Dr. Melvin and
deputy sheriff Rouse hurried to the scene and found
the dead man lying in a pool of blood with the top
of his head blown off. An inquest was held
over the body and the coroner's jury found that the
man met his death by means of a revolver shot by one
Sam Vanscuyver.
Vanscuyver was arrested by deputy sheriff Rouse and
brot to Beach for a preliminary examination.
The defendant was represented by Atty. Crawford and
the examination was postponed to the 24th inst.
Rumor has it that this shooting was done in self
defense, altho it is hard to ascertain the exact
facts as carousing and shooting appeared to be quite
prevalent in the railroad camps south. One
John Gass was also shot in the leg by deceased, A.
T. Guilliland, some hours prior to the fatal
shooting scrape. Mr. Gass was attended by Dr.
Melvin and later taken to the Dickinson hospital for
repairs.

Gunder Syer (sic) Killed
Beach and vicinity were shocked last Saturday evening, Oct. 19, 1907, when the sad news came from the Odland Bros.' threshing rig, at work west of town, that Gunder Syre was killed while attempting to couple the separator to the engine. In some way he missed his calculations and was crushed between the two large machines, death being instantaneous. The body was brought to town and Undertaker Davis, of Dickinson, was summoned to prepare it for shipment to Hurley, S.D., his former home. Deceased was a young man of twenty-five years of age who came to Beach last March and located on a homestead. During his short stay here he made many acquaintances and friends especially among the young people and was held in the highest esteem by all. He is survived by a brother, Hans Syre (sic), residing south of town, and parents and relatives in and about Hurley, S.D.

Vanschuyver, Murderer of Gilliland Discharged
The preliminary examination of Sam VanSchuyver, to
determine whether or not the killing of A. T.
Gilliland at Beaver of the Milwaukee line, on the
13th inst. was felonious, was held at Medora last
Saturday afternoon and evening.
Theodore Hannaford, who was the only eye witness of
the homicide, testified in behalf of the State,
while a half dozen parties, including the defendant,
testified in his behalf. The jist of the
testimony in behalf of the defendant was that the
deceased had assaulted and beaten up several parties
just prior to the time he entered the tent, where he
met his death, and was a man of desperate character.
Altho the story as to how the homicide occurred was
not shaken, his testimony was to a large extend
discredited by the testimony of several, that he had
been engaged with the deceased in assaulting several
parties and promiscuously shooting things up just
prior to the fatal affray.
Justice N. D. Nichols, before whom the examination
was held, considered the evidence offered against
the accused of too uncertain a character to justify
him in holding VanSchuyver to answer in the district
court to a charge of murder, and therefore
discharged him.

Death Of John Current
Seldom has death caused a greater shock to this
community than in the case of Attorney John R.
Current, stricken down in the full flush of his
vigorous manhood.
He was
as strong and healthy as a man could wish on August
first. Three days later he was confined to his
bed with an attack of typhoid fever. In about
four weeks he was able to leave his bed and resume
his working the office. On September 18, he
was obliged to take to his bed again with a second
attack of the fever, which seemed bound to claim its
victim. Encouraging reports continued to be
received from time to time. On Thursday his
condition, while critical, was somewhat improved and
it was the opinion that he would continue to gain.
He breathed his last at about 5:30 o'clock on Friday
morning.
His genial good
nature, pleasing personality and affability made him
very popular in this city where his presence will be
sorely missed.
On Friday
evening L. R. Baird accompanied the body east to
Sleepy Eye, where the interment took place.
The Masonic lodge, of which Mr. Current was a
member, marched from the hospital to the station
incident upon the transferal of the remains.
Besides his mother, he is survived by two brothers
and five sisters, living in Sleepy Eye and New Elm,
Minn., and a brother, Dr. Earl Current, who is on
the medical staff of the Minneapolis City hospital.
