The body of N, O. Dahl, the homesteader who was murdered at his claim near Quiring April 3rd, was discovered under the roots of a balsam tree near his house at four o’clock yesterday afternoon by Eugene Colwell and Owen French, two homesteaders who live a short distance from the Dahl homestead. Much interest has been mani- fested in the mysterious disap- pearance of N. O. Dahl and daughter, Aagot, wlich occurred last spring, and a constant search has been made for the bodies. Rewards have been offered by the state and county, and also by re- latives of the missing parties. No clues as to what had become of the pair had been found up to last night, and it looked for some time as if the mystery would for- ever remain unsolved. Yesterday afternoon Eugene Colwell, in company with his neighbor, Owen French, went out to search for a cow which had strayed away from Colwall’s home and in passing a tree be- came conscious of a smell of pus- rid flesh. They immediately be- came suspicious and ecommenced a search around the place from which the stench seemed to ema- nate, and found a human body buried under roots of a balsam tree which had blown down dur- ing a storm. After satisfying themselves that they had discovered a human body they immediately set out for Blackduck., about twenty miles distant, and arrived there at 10 o’clock last night. They | disappeared, by the fact that the body was found under the roots of a large balsam tree which at some time had blown down. The body being placed under the wall thus made and then the trunk of the tree was chopped off and thus the body was buried. A message from Tenstrike this afternoon states that the three men are suspected of killing Dahl, but that it is thought there, i that the daughter is yet alive. Only one name is given, that of Bugene Colwell, who discovered the body. One of the other men is a Frenchman and is said to be a former convict who served a term at Stillwater and is an all around bad man. It is thought there that this man ran away {with the girl and has kept her in custody since the disappear- ance. An Indian who lives near Quiring says thata short time after the disappearance of the pair he wet two men, driving a team of grays and was accom- | panied by a young woman, who is supposed to have been Miss Dahl. Tt isclaimed that one of these men was Colwell and the other was the Krenchmam, The Indian recogunized the team as belonging to Colwell. From this it is drawn that Colwell and the Frenchman kidnapped the girl and the Frenchman has forced Miss Dahl to live with him ever since that date. Immediately after the disappearance of the Dahls, a man by the name of Westhy, more familiarly known in the neighborhood as “Shorty, and indications notified the authorities in this|point to his being implicated in city of the finding of the body and Deputy Coroner Marcum, Sheriff Bailey and County Attor- the killing. A large posse, armed to the teeth, and accompanied by ney Loud left this morning for | Sheriff Bailey and County Attor- Quiring, where an inquest will be held. The finding of the body of Dahl hidden under the roots of a tree clears all doubts that he was mur- dered aside, and every effort to find the perpetrators of the crima will be made. At present no definite clues have been found that wouldlead to their discovery, but it is said that several parties are under suspicion. The finding of the body simplifies matters considerably, and arrests are ex- pected to follow in the near foture. The cold bloodedness of the murder is very distinctly shown PRINCESS Grocery Co. M.

Place On Fire. The arrest of the proprietor of a rival resort, his watchman, bartender, and piano player, for the burning of a building, which caused the death of three parties, is causing considerable comment at Nashwauk. Several days previous to Sun- day evening an attempt was made to set the place on fire but this was thwarted by the police After this a watch- man was employed, and at the time of the fire had stepped into an adjoining saloon for afew moments. The parties arrested are, by the authorities, belieyved to be the right parties and a strict ex- amination and investigation is being held.
