Tuesday afternoon a man whose name has not been learned, was fatally crushed while digging a well near New Salem, west of the Missouri river. He was in the bottom of the well and his wife, together with a neighboring woman, was hauling up the material in buckets. The unlucky man placed a large stone in the bucket, and the women were hauling it from below when it fell, striking the unwarned man on the head. A doctor was immediately sent for but no hopes for recovery were entertained.

Arrest, Conviction and Sentence Come Within 24-Hour Period in Stark

Dickinson, N.D., June 15—States Attorney Burgeson made quick work with one George Phelps, who was arrested late in the afternoon and entered a plea of guilty in a statutory charge before Judge Crawford this morning. Phelps reached Dickinson from Killdeer at noon, and about 6 o'clock in the evening he was arrested on complaint of Alfred Peterson, a twelve-year-old boy, on whom the outrage was committe {sp}. Less than 24 hours after his arrest, Phelps was on his way to the state penitentiary at Bismarck to spent 3½ years there at hard labor.

Much credit is due States Attorney Burgeson for his work in cases of this character, as in nearly every criminal case brought before him he succeeds in getting the party to plead guilty, thereby saving the county thousands of dollars which would necessarily have to be spent in the proesecution of such cases.

Phelps claims to have been working at Hazen, on the Killdeer branch.

Minot, N.D., May 3.—Analysis of the contents of the stomach of John H Smith of Granville, who died April 9, and for whose death his divorced wife, Mrs. Ursula Smith, aged 30, of Granville, is now awaiting trial in district court on a charge of first degree murder, reveals that there were 13.82 grains of strychnine poison present, according to a report made by Dr. G. A. Abbott of the state university.

Cases are on record where as small a quantity as one half grain of strychnine has produce death, the report says, adding:

"If we assume one grain as the fatal dose, then this victim contained more than enough of this poison to kill 13 men. But the poison found did not represent all the poison received; for some of it was absorbed into the system in order to produce its effect. It is not often that the poisoner is so considerate of the chemist and gives him such quantities to work with.

The analysis of the coffee in the coffee pot, which was on the stove in the house where Smith was found dead, contained no strychnine, the report states.

Smith, on numerous occasions, while confined in a hospital at Missoula, Mont., last November, with a case of botulism or sausage poisoning, expressed a desire to die rather than to live in this then-existing physical condition, according to a letter to the defense attorneys from Elsie L. Craig of Missoula , Mont., a nurse in the hospital where Smith was confined.

Remains of Another Drowning Victim Were Taken From The Red River South of the South Bridge Early This Morning—Is A Stranger Here

The remains of a man, who has been identified as Hans Anderson with address unknown, were taken from the Red river early this morning. The body was found at the foot of Third Street south, south of the south bridge.

As far as can be learned, Anderson had been in the city but a few days and stopped at the Doodge Bug annex on lower Front street. When last seen last night, he was in an intoxicated condition, his face was bleeding and he was heading towards the river. It is supposed that he fell asleep on the bank and rolled into the water. The watch on his person stopped at 9 o'clock.

Very little is known of Anderson or where he came from. He was probably one of the transient laborers that start to arrive in the city about this time of the year. He is about 40 years of age, weighing about 160 pounds and standing some 5 feet 8 inches tall. One finger on his right hand is missing and through this the officials hope to trace him.

The remains are now at the undertaking parlors of B. F. Wasem awaiting their disposition.
