THAT AWFUL TRAGEDY,
A Full Account of the Death of
Johnson and Her Children.
[Braddoek News.l
Monday, Oct. 23, news of the most
horrifying and pathetic tragedy in
the history of North Dakota, occur
ring eight miles northeast of town, I
reached this city. It was to the
effect that the wife of a well-known
farmer had unfortunately burned
herself and her
six young children to
death. I
It appears that at about 11 o'clock
a. m. Axel Johnson, who was work
ing in the field about a mile distant. 1
and other neighbors, noticed col
umns of black smoke rising from
Mr. Johnson's residence. The tire
had gained considerable headway,
and upon attempting to enter the
residence it was found that all the
doors and windows had been fasten-1
ed by locking the doors, nailing down
the windows and barricading them
with the stoves and practically all
the household furniture.
Under the circumstances, all that
was left for the horrified father and
neighbors to do was to wait until
the mass of ruins cooled sufficiently
to permit an examination.
The sight that met their eyes as
horrifying, indeed, and it moved
the strongest men present to tears.
The bodies of Mrs. Johnson and
her six little children were found
huddled in a heap ami mutilated be.
yond identification. Dr. Lodge, cor
oner of Kidder county, was at once
notified by 'phone from Braddock.
and after an examination of the cir
cumstances leading up to the trag
edy, decided that the blame laid
with no person alive.
There is not a doubt but that the
mother was temporarily demented.
She had said at times that she wish
ed herself and babies dead, but no
importance was attached to her talk.
As is usual with people with derang
ed minds, the unfortunate mother
laid her plans with considerable cun
ning. Chas.Fosburgand wife,the lat
ter being her sister, who live but a
short distance from the Johnson
farm, were away from home, the
former to the Patterson-Olson auc
tion sale and the later in this city
and Mr. Johnson inthe field a mile
from home—shows that her plans
were cunningly arranged.
Mrs. Axel Johnson, nee Ella Nel
son, was born at St. James, Minn.,
thirty-nine years ago and the de
ceased children were: Harry, aged
12 Willard, 10 James, 5 Kthol, S
Hannah, 2'- and Myrtle. 4 months.
The sorrow of the bereaved husband
and father is pitiable, and his grief
has left many wet eyes among those
who have witnessed it. Expressions
of sorrow and pity are the topic of
the hour.
The funeral services will be con
ducted by Rev. A. F. Alfson in the
Swedish Lutheran church at 1 o'clock
this afternoon, and the remains in
terred in the church cemetery.
JOHN COLE'S DEATH.
Details of the Fatal Accident to an
Early Settler.
John Cole met death by being
thrown from a saddle-horse, in this
city, Wednesday night at 10 o'clock.
How the accident happened will nev
er be known. According to his moth
er, a black calf that had been run
ning at large had a habit of entering
her stable and milking her cows, and
she had requested him to drive it
away. He accordingly mounted a
pony and gave chase. Some time la
ter Merchant Long, upon returning
home, heard a harse fall heavly.and,
going to see what was the matter,h
found Johnny, as he was familiarly
called, lying on the ground in an un
conscious condition. He was taken
to his mother's home, where, not
having regained consciousness by
noon Thursday, he was taken to the
St. Alexius hospital, in Bismarck.
There he laid unconscious until
o'cock Friday morning, when the
death angel asserted her claim.
The injury was most peculiar in
nature. There was not a scratch or
abrasion visible on the body, and
the theory of physicians is that, the
head being struck by the horse's
flank, the brain was forced upward
and out of position.

have been a summer dream, except

rearing a family and making a home

Thos. Kelly returned Tuesday
morning from a ten-days' trip to
Duluth and the Twin Cities. At the
latter place he invested in eighty
head of young steers, mostly year
lings, and brought them with him in
two cars to Ha/.elton, when' he will
turn them into a pasture to mature
into fatted beeves. While in Minneso
ta Mr. Kelly said it rained every day
but three during his sojourn, and
remarked that if anything would
make a North Dakolan homesick it
was to stick around a place where
it rained all the time, lie made up
his mind to ipiit that country ipiick
ly. and searched several time-tables
for the earliest train headed this
way, and when he found that one
would pull out that afternoon he
rushed to the depot ahead of sched
ule, so as to be sure not to miss it.
He found weather conditions here
rather unsettled but. it was North
Dakota, and lie again contented
and happy.
