who a year ago killed Lis mother,-'
occurred three miles from h?-e,
about 2 o'clock this morning. The
scene of the tragedy is :t i ;.ul. .. :
couutry residence on o..-- m'
richest farms in the county. The
actor and victim moved in th ' best
society, were popular ami pos.se.-.heil
an abundance of this world's good.
For several month's the oaly two
occupants of the house beside the
servants, have been Elmer Sharkey,
aged 21, and his widowed mother.
They Lave been on bad terms owing
to Elmer's fondness for a Jtliss
Straw, a neighbor's daughter, with
an excellent reputation. Yesterday
afternoon young Sharkley told his
mother he had made up his mind to
marry Miss Staw. A violent quarrel
ensued, during which the mother
threatened to make a will disinherit
ing her son.
Last nkrht the female servant
went away to remain over inight
with a friend and the farm hand was
also absent. About 2 o'clock this
morning Elmer, bareheaded, coatless
and without shoes, appeared q,t a
neighbor's house a quarter of a mile
away, declaring that robbers were
in his home. He said he had heard
them and climbed out of the win
dow of his room on the second
floor.
When help arrived Mrs. Sharkley
was lying on the bed dead, her head
beaten to a jelly with a maul lying
at her side. The room was in dis
order, bureau drawers open and
other evidences of a hasty search
for hidden treasure abandoned.
mi 1 t t .
lne neicnuors concluded, alter a
careful search of the premises, that
Elmer killed his mother and hit on
the robber storv as a ruse. He was
arrested and a thorough investiga
tion! is being had. The excitement
is something intense.

THE BALANCE OF OUR
One Fact
Is worth a column of rhetoric, said
an American statesman. It is a fact
established by the testimony of
thousands of people, that Hood's
Sarsaparilla does cure scrofula, salt
rheum, and other diseases or affec
tions arising from impure state or
low condition of the blood. It also
overcomes that tired feeling, creates
a good appetite, and gives strength
to every part of the system. Try it.

The First Dram Shop Bill.
Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 10. The
first dram-shop bill introduced in
the House was presented to-day by
Mr. Newberry, of Madison. It j
amends the Downing license law by
making it compulsory upon the au
thorities of cities and incorporated
towns to impose a eity license of
not less than $600 nor more than
$2,000 per annum, to be by ordi
nance of the council. No change is
made in the state license. Mr. New
berry thinks this will wipe out all
the cheap grogeries in the towns
and make the remaining houses pay
police expenses. Mr. Newberry will
introduce a bill to-morrow increas
ing the county license so that the
maximum county license will be
$1,200 and the minimum $800.

t ',L ':. ; i ;i i eeeived by the
Rev. V. liy. Baptist uvssion
a:v ; r or:i; ihtliota, from one of
the settlers i:i that district. The re
port v:is pro.iiptly denied by the
business men of Park River, in
Walsh county. A correspondent
was sent to Walsh county to inves-
! fixate the matter. The result is a
complete verification of the original
report.
Two days were spent in visiting
families in' their hovels in the ex
treme western portion of the county
and some of the sights were truly
pitiful. Walsh county is one of the
wealthiest in Dakota. It is the sec
ond from the extreme northwestern
portion of the territory. Cavalier
county being the most northern. It
is in a productive region and has
prospered accordingly. The eastern
portion of the county is a level prai
rie, with scarcely an undulation, ex
cept immedately adjacent to the liv
er which flows through it8 bounda
ries, ine western portion 01 tne
county is "mountainous" as the res
idents of the prairie county view it. J
Tf wroa m-nr f ftino" I
that the poverty stricken people of
Walsh county were found. They
are distant from Park River, the
most western town of the county
and next to Grafton, the county seat,
the most important, about twenty
five miles. The almost total de"
structiou of the last wheat crop in
this belt oy frost has left the set
tlers without a thing to purchase
supplies with and in many instances
they are suffering for proper food
and clothing. In several places fam
ilies were found who had not tasted
meat for weeks and who had subsist
ed entirely on porridge made from
frozen wheat. The correspondent
visited about twenty-five families in
a drive of over sixty miles. The
houses are situated about a mile
apart and in some instances a mile
and a half to two miles. The only
thing that has prevented greater suf
fering has been the mild weather.
There is the most abject poverty on
every hand. The settlers are mostly
Norwegians and Bohemians. There
are a few Canadian families. They
are all bearing their lot with scarce
ly a murmur although much discour
aged. As a rule the families are
large. The men are unable to do
any work in the winter as there is
nothing that can be done. It is
only on rare occasions that their
stock is clear of mortgage, however,
so that their possession can afford
the farmer no relief in their present
straitened circumstances.

Convicts' Narrow Escape.
Helena, Ark., Jan. The convicts
of Lee, Phillips and Monroe coun
ties are worked on the county farm
under eontract, and are a hard lot
of rascals. Last night they made a
bold attempt at liberty, which eame
near resulting fatally to some of
them. They are confined in a stock
ade built of heavy timber, from
which escape is almost impossible
They attempted to burn a hole
through the floor by heating the top
of the stove to a white heat and ap
plying it to the boards. The flames
got beyond their control, however,
and after desperately fighting the
fire and using up all their blankets
and clothes in trying to put it out,
they began to scream for help. They
were rescued after a hard fight, but
not until nine of them were badly
burned, two of whom are expected
to die.
