Roan stopped at the Iverson place. ~He was too badly intoxi- cated to realize what he had done and Bakken had been dead for some time before his companions discovered the fact.

Bakken, lea a wife andfam: ily of small childven. He is well known in this city and through- out this section and was one.of the tirst settlersof the town of Buzzle. He was of a retiring disposition when sober, but was addicted to the drink habit and whiskey was inclined to make him troublesome. He bore an excellent reputation with his neighbors nevertheless. Notuntil this morning did Roan realize what he had done. Heis nearly crazed with griefand wept bitterly on the train all the way to this city, He has a wifeand family of eleyen children and has 'ways borne an excellent reputa- He is a Scandi- and unable to talka TFuoglish; He remembers | nothing of the killing and says is all like an awful dream to him, Nigaard, the constable, whois his brother-in-law says that the killing was donein self-defense. He returned this afternoon to Solway aud announced’ before leaving the city that he should try.toretain Congressman Stean erson to défend Roan. Bakken will be buried tomor- row at his home. Roan’s wife was not informed until this morn- ing of her husband’s crime.
