Chas. Kunde of Brainerd shot

Jordan, the 14-year-old daughter of Carl Jordan of St. Mathias, at 9:30 Monday evening
while taking her and her brother to a dance at the home of
Herbert Plansberg between St.
Mathias and Ft. Ripley village.
Runde was employed as a
boilermaker's helper at Brainerd and was talcing the girl and
| her lH-year-old brother to the
(lance in a single buggy. It
seems that he was very jealous
of the girl and a dispute arose.
The Brainerd man then drew a
revolver, fired one shot, which
passed through the.Tordan boy's
hand and then knocked him out
of the buggy.
The next two shots that he
fired entered the girl's temple
and caused instant death.
The horse, taking fright, ran
away* leaving the murderer to
think over the crime he had
committed. He waited for five
or ten minutes, then placed the
revolver at his own temple and
pulled the trigger. Death came
instantly, leaving only the girTs
brother to tell the horrible
story.—Transcript.

Lenore  Lake,Sask.
April ID,  1911.
To the Editor of the Journa).
Dear Editor:
An   it    i*>  a-
bout a   week  and   a half  ago
since I left Pierz for    Lenore
Lake.  Sask..   1 will let till mv
friends    and    relatives   know-
how we are gettingalong here.
Veil    we    came   thru     very
quickly   with our   cars.    We
left on Friday morning   at y-
bout .1 o'clock    and    came    to
Humboldt   on   Monday   night
at   about   11 o'clock.    Ilum-
bo'dt    was    our    destination
point.    Homboldt    is a   great
business town.   If a  stranger
comes thru here now lie   may
think   it is    already    ;m    old
settled town,    altho -the first
house there was   build   about
S vears ago.  There are buildings there, which cover about
two   acres   of   ground.    The
railroads are over   filled   with
immigrants coining intoCar.a-
da, from   all   over the United
States and   Europe.     Land is
being taken up verv fast,   but
there isroom for millions more.
Land around    here at Lenore
Lake,    is sellirg* from   $20 to
S25 anacre. antl the time won*t
be long   till it will   cost from
S40 to S50 an   acre    The  soil
here is very good and the country is all level.     We are going
to have a railroad    this    summer.    The winter    here   has
been cold.    Thev say it   was
the coldest    winter they    had
for the last  20   vears.    Thev
have   plenty   t.f mk w   yet   iu
places     where    it   had    been
drifted up high.    The    farmers started    working    in    the
field   today,   and      tomorrow
nearly everybody   will  be out
in the field.    The   weather is
very     nice   and    warm    now.
Common farm horses are selling from $350   to   $375   each.
Cows from$30to$45 each.The
people here are well satisfied,
and so   am    I.     Wheat   here
averages from 25 to 40 bushels
per acre.    And   oats    can   be
raised all the   wav    up to   120
bushels per   acre.    This mav
seem impossible to the people
of Pierz but it is   the   truth.
I guess they would   believe it
if they would see   the   grain.
The prices are not as high as
in Minnesota. Oats is   selling
at    25    cents    per      bushel.
Wheat   is   around    75   cents
per bushel.    Flax    $2.12  per
bushel, and potatoes  45 cents
per bushel.    The  wages   are
very high here.    A farm hand
can get  $35 to   $40 a   month,
the year   round.    And a good
carpenter earns from $4 to $6
per day.
I am writing this for the
benefit of those, who mav intend to settle here. We are
all in good hone for a bouncing crop and I hope that the
people of Pierz will get the
same.
I remain respectfully,
John H. Gerwing
Do you trade at the place that
makes good?    New Pierz Store.
