court today.' Frank Ross, whom he
shot, is still In the hospital, paralyzed
and expected to die.
The coroner's Jury did not fix any
blame in the William Sparks case at

MINOT, Jul ylO.—Velva was the
scene of another tragedy this week
when a heavy bottle thrown by an un
known party struck William Wait, a
prominent young man of that city, in
the abdomen with fatal results. Per
itonitis set in almost immediately and
the young man succumbed Saturday
afternoon. Wait's brother, it is said,

parties and it is believed that the bot

and when the bottle was thrown he
received its full force. Efforts are
being made to apprehend the guilty
party, but the difficulty lies in dis
covering which one of several did
the deed.

NOBODY LOOKS
This happened at Mandan Sunday:
A Bismarck man was standing in
front of the grandstand. A policeman
came along and said, "Here, you get
out o, here—you get a ticket and get
up in the grandstand."
The Bismarck man jokingly replied,
"Supposing I haven't the quarter to
pay for a grandstand ticket?"
"That's the way with you cheap
guys from Bismarck—you come over
here without any money."
The Bismarck man produced a
grandstapd ticket he had, already pur
chased.
"Oh, you're one of those fresh guys,
ain't you?" snapped the officer. "You
move along now, and do it quick."
There's no use talking—Mandan

LOGGING CAMP
(Special to the Tribune)
MEDORA, N. D., July 10.—A report
has reached town that Lee Hanson,
formerly of Iowa, and a nephew of
County Commissioner Hanson, was
found dead in his house at Logging
Camp, thirty miles south of here. It
is supposed he committed suicide. A
coroner's jury is investigating.
GIRLLOSES
DEVILS LAKE, July 10—In the
county jail this morning is the pitiable
spectacle of a young woman about 22
years of age who has completely lost
the use of her mind and is in a state
of emotional insanity, which, accord
ing to the nurse, will develop within
a few hours into violence. The young
lady was brought here yesterday from
Lawton by the Edmore deputy. She
is Miss Catherine Hughes, a sister of
a Mrs. Smith, near Lawton, and only
recently from her home at Tyndall
S. D.
During her residence in Lawton she
was employed in the printing office.
At the time she became insane she
was visiting her sister. Since her ar
rival she has sung continually, and did
not rest for a minute last evening.
Seen in her cell, she presents a sor
rowful sight, which could not be easily
forgotten. Hor long, black hair is
streaming over her shoulders, and she
never stops singing, but goes from one
hymn to another, sometimes kneeling
and sometimes wandering around the
cell.
Most of the time she is unconscious
of those around her and if her atten
tion is attracted, visitors seem to
frighten her and she hides her head
in her coat.
As the girl is properly a citizen of
South Dakota, she will not be sent to
Jamestown, but taken by the nurse
and an officer to her people at Tyndall,
S. D.. and undoubtedly confined later
in the South Dakota asylum for insane.

Need Missing Epistles as

NEW YORK, July 10.—Police, aided
by the defendants, redoubled their ef
forts today to solve the mystery of
the lost letters in the Stokes shooting
case. Tomorrow the court will receive
the last evidence to show whether or
not Lillian Graham and Ethel -onrad
should be held for the grand jury on
a charge of trying to murder W. E. D.
Stokes, millionaire hotel man, and
without these letters the young women
say their cause is badly handicapped.
They admit that they shot Stokes, but
declare that circumstances which
these letters would help reveal were
such as to make the shooting justifi
able.
The superintendent of the apart
ment house where the shooting oc
curred was summoned before Police
Commissioner Waldo today. The com
missioner is interested in the case on
account of the charges that some of
his men permitted Stokes' private de
tective to ransack Miss Graham's suite
and carry away a bundle of letters
while the city detectives were present.
Magistrate Freschi, who has been
conducting preliminary hearings in
the case, and District Attorney Whit
man will confer today with a view to
deciding what action ought to be
taken about the disappearance of the
letters. At the close of the examina
tion tomorrow the magistrate prob
ably will issue a summons for James
Cummings, Stokes' private house de
tective. Formal proceedings will then
begin to determine whether or not a
crime had been committed.

DICKINSON, N. D., July 9.—Mott
came up today to do ehings to the
Dickinson ball players, but the game
turned out 17 to 13 in favor of the
local team and the Spot players went
home very sorrowful. They brought
along Foss, the famous A. C. catcher,
and a whole string of pitchers, using
Baker, Foss and Heiers in the order
named. The Dickinson battery started
out with Brown and Howard. Brown
struck out five men in the first three
innings and then his back gave out
and Clint Davis finished for the lo
cals. The wind was the cause of many
of the errors made.
Beach comes here for games on the
12th and 13th, and it is expected that
there will be something doing. The
locals run a special train to Beach
about a month ago and suffered defeat
by a score of 3 to 4.
