t- I S Mt *i l*j£ ISO Mlf SATURDAY, MARCH 23,1907. DR. Considerable research work is to be done the coming summer in North Da kota under the direction of Dr. A. G. Leonard, state geologist. One party -is to confine its attentions to the cement formations in the northeastern portion of the state in the vicinity of the Turtle mountains. Dr. Leonard stated today that it is probable that another party under his personal supervision will go to the western part of the. state and spend a summer among the fossil bearing strata of the various ages of the earth's history. No thorough research work has ever been done among the coal bear ing formations of western North Da kota and the age of the formations and other data, has been merely specu lative.

Columbus, Ohio, March 23.—Pound guilty aid sentenced to death for his horrible murder ot his aged father, mother and brother and denounced as a "criminal whose cunning and fiend ish desires have seldom been equaled in this country," Dr. Oliver Crcok Haugh.a man oi good family and edu cation, is awaiting death in the elec tric chair two weeks Ihence. The su preme court has just affirmed the sen tence of Dr. Haugh, who has been an .inmate of the penitentiary annex for near(y a year. Dr. Haugh was a resident of Dayton.' In his early career he was highly re spected and looked upon as talented physician. But four or five years ago tales began to circulate regarding un canny experiments with drugs being carried on in the laboratory of' Dr. Haugh. In a short whilo it became known that the young physician him self had 'become a drug fiend of the worst .type. Metamorphosis was wrought in the individuality of the man by the excessive use of morphine, cocaine and opium. He.became hag gard, wild, demoniacal. Several times he disappeared from his home. It was later asserted that the mysterious murders of women in the outskirts of Cincinnati, so closely resembling the Whitechapei crimes in London, were coincident with some of these disap pearances. Nothing was ever brought to light, however, to qpbstantiato the suspicion that Dr. Haugh wag connect ed with these crimes. On November 5,1905, came the triple tragedy for which the young physician E STUDY OF 1 Hani is having printed a booklet of 64 pages contain ing a history of the Union Simultaneous Campaign of the Bed River Valley, (Grand Forks, East Grand Forks, Grafton, Wahpeton, St. Thom as, Reynolds, etc.) In the "Sunbeam Tabernacle," and churches with biographical sketches of the Evangelists and associates illustrated, with half tone cuts* The Glory Song and "The King's Business" In Scandinavian.

The old family homo at Vanda lia, near Dayton, where the physician had gone to spend the night with rela tives, was burned. In the ruins were found the bodies of Hough's father, his mother and his brother, Jesse Haugh. All had been mutilated. It was charged that, tho bodies had been saturated with kerosene in order to aid the work ol obliteration. The authorities charged Dr. Haugh with the murders, asserting that he had set fire to the house in order to conceal his crime. Physicians assert ed tihat tho victims had been poisoned before being burned. Of the inmates of, the house on the fatal night Dr. Haugh alone escaped. The motive al leged for the crime was personal gain. Dr. Haugh, it was asserted, had spent all his money and was no longer able to purchase the drugs which he craved with an appetite that brooked no de nial. Several days before the criipe Du. Haugh received from a Cleveland drug house enough hyocine to kill a dozen men. It was the opinion of the prose, cution that this poison was adminis tered to his victims until they lost consciousness, after which ho piled their bodies into a heap, saturated them with oil. and set them afire. They were entirely consumed by the flames, which completely destroyed the house. The testimony of several neighbors, who arrived early on tho scene, aided in the conviction of the physician. Re liable witnesses swore that the odor oil oil was distinctly noticeable in the every formation—pick out the fossil invertebrates and chart the forma tions. find where, if any, the fishes of the Devonian age repose in North Dakota's fertile fields. The formations of the. coal bearing Carboniferous age will be given the most careful study, however, as the fruits of this period of the earth's history are more direct ly concerned with the upbuilding of this state than any other. Dr. Leonard spent several weeks last summer along the Missouri river and up into Montana examining the coal beds, this work being done at the request of the United States govern ment.

'Boston, March 23.—Many tributes to the memory of the late Thomas Bailey Aldrich from well known writ "ers. have been received at the Aldrich home in the form of letters and tele grams. Talbet B.

In his defense, Haugh declared that, finding the house In flames, he at tempted to gain entrance to his par ents' room, but was driven back by fire and smoke. Then hin undercloth ing caught fire, and ho declared that he had been badly burned. But the physician of the hospital, where he applied for relief, could find neither burn nor'scratch upon his body. Tho evidence against Haugh was conclusive and the defense, after the conviction, set forth the claim that the prisoner was Insane. Haugh' played his part well, and for weeks acted as one entirely bereft ot reason. Experts were set to watch him by the state, and he was caught off his guard on several occasions. After a long trial he was adjudged sane. During his long imprisonment in the penitentiary here, while his case was carried to the higher courts Haugh continually im proved in health and appearance. From a haggard, repulsive looking man as he appeared when brought here from Dayton he changed into a man of re fined and even handsome appearance. He has passed much of his time in reading and study and has taken little part in the card playing and other amusements of the dozen other prison ers awaiting execution or the commu tation of their sentences. Dr. Haugh is married and the father of two children. His wife was. sepa rated from him, however, several years before the tragedy. His father was a highly respected resident of Montgom ery county, the owner ol a fine farm on the outskirts of Dayton and a pros perous wagon and buggy factory in the city. Dr. Haugh is now thirty-six years old. He was granted a certifi cate to practice medicine in Ohio in May, 1896, and was located for a time in Springfield before going to Dayton.

KILL WILL OOMIE H6 Railroad Magnate to Do Things For the State University Library. Dr. James E. Boyle of tl\e depart ment of economics and sociology, re cently wrote James J. Hill asking for a contribution of a few hundred dol lars to the university library for* the purchase of books bearing upon the general growth of transportation. Mr. Hill promptly responded, offering to give to the library three or four thousand dollars for the purchase of such bcoks. Mr. Hill's offer not only shows a spirit of great friendliness to the university, but is a further evi dence of the wisdom and far sight edness of the man. Whatever the shortcomings of the great railroad cor. porations of our country, there is no doubt that in almost every legislative session in nearly every state in the union there Is introduced much legis lation which reflects the unenlight ened prejudice of the community. The more wide spread Is the diffusion of enlightened views in regard to the whole subject of transportation, the more satisfactory are likely to be the relation? of our great transportation corporations and. the public to each other. Mr. Hill understands perfectly that the law makers, executives and judges of the next fifty years in North Dakota are going to be drafted largely from the young men who attend the state university. The more compre hensive their training in the great problems of commerce and finance, the more enlightened and harmonious are likely to be the relations between the citizens of North Dakota and the great transportation corporations to which our development as a state has been and will continue to be largely due. NEW CLUE FORMED. It Is the North Dakota University Civic Club. A new organization ha:i recently been formed ait the university, known as tho University ol North Dakota Civic club. Dr. Boyle has been the originator of the movement which re sulted in the organization of the club, and he has thus discovered a means which supplies a long felt want at the Institution. The purpose of the club will be to study public questions, and social and economic problems of the time. It means that members of the club will be better posted on im portant current events, a matter which it is too often true that students neg lect An important phase of the work of the Civic club will also bo the study ol local government. Meetings are to be held bi-monthly on Friday evenings. The first meet ing will occur April 5, and the first paper will be read by Bert Selby. His subject will be "Taxation in North Dakota." He "has made a thorough study of this subject. A round table dlscussiob will be held after papers are read. The following will be the program of subjects and speakers as far as planned: April 19, The Legis lative Assembly of North Dakota for 1907, Mr. Thacker May 3, National Banks of North Dakota, C. O. See. At the last meeting of the year the essay which wins the Bennett prize will be read an discussed. The officers of the club are as fol lows: President, Dan V: Brennan, vice president, C. O. Lee secretary, Bert Selby treasurer, James Collin son counsellor, Dr. James E. Boyle. RAND CONCERT PROGRAM. A Fine One Will Be Rendered in Met ropolitan Opera House. The university band, which was originally scheduled for a concert March 14, will appear some time dur ing the second week of the spring term. As Mr. Stout has not been known to put inferior work before the public during his connection with the university it is quite safe to say that the concert will be well" worth at tending. The following program will he rendered: March "Crusaders" Sousa U. N. D. Band. Overture "Lust&piel" Kele-Bela Band. Cornet Solo "Pyramids" Liberatti Mr. Lynn Sarles. "Loveland" Waltzes Holzmann Band.

If the plan submitted by Messrs. Patton & iMiller shall be car lied out, the compus of the University of North Dakota will eventually be one of most attractive in the country as regards its general arrangement. The university lacks-, of course* on the prairies, such beauty as belongs to strongly marked natural features, but there is no reason why the university campus should not be made one of unusual beauty so far as the arrange ment of buildings, the construction of walks and drives and the planting of trees and shrubs can conduce to that end. Some of the most beautiful university grounds in the world are located in regions devoid of fine nat ural scenery. A RIG EVENT. Of the Spring Term Will Be State Oratorical Contest. The one big event of the first part of the spring term will .be the state oratorical contest This contest will be held this year, not in a church as formerly, but in the Metropolitan theater, on Friday evening, April 12. Interest in oratory is increasing and it Is expected that a much larger audience will attend this contest than has attended at any previous contest. The orators who will speak are: J. F. T. O'Connor, university Mr. Gar nett, Fargo college Oliver Dynes, agricultural college Don S. Ford, Wesley college. •Mr. O'Connor who recently won first place in the local contest,, is well known in university circles as an orator of more than ordinary power. Mr. Garnett and Oliver Dynes are both men of experience on the plat form, while Mr. Ford made a splendid showing in the recent local contest. Two orators have heretofore repre sented the various institutions of col lege grade, but owing to the greater number of institutions now in the ora torical league, it is necessary to limit the number of representatives to one. Tt is expected that the following men will act as judges: Judge C. .1. Flsic, Senator Purcell of Wahpeton, and President Weld of Moorhead normal. HAVE TWO DATES. Glee Club Will Appear in Cavalier and Winnipeg. The university glee club leaves next Thursday morning on its first trip this year. Professor Geo. A.

They will return Saturday nigh GOVERNOR BURKE TO SPEAK. He Will Address Graduates of Univer sity This Year.

Need Is Great. The need of more dormitory accom modations for the young men was never greater than at present. The demand for rooms in Budge hall is much greater than the supply. Be sides the new applications fully one third of all the rooms available would go to those on the waiting list, in case all of the latter were supplied. Trip to Minneapolis. There seems to he some probability that Charles Boise, the president of the "Dacotah" beard, will go to Min neapolis in the near future in the interests of the "Dacotah." an annual gotten out by the junior class of the university. The material for this boo"k is now in the hands of the printers in tho Mill City. Is Home. J. A. Tanner, M. A. '06. returned Wednesday morning from Chicago, where he attended the university. Mr. Tanner is very enthusiastic over the university of Chicago but does not think any the less of the U. N. D.
