D., Dec. 13.—Accept- ance Of the theory that J. W. Shiflet, a prominent Foster county man, was murdered by his son, the body being cremated in a straw stack, is accord- ed by an insurance company, which has just settled a policy carried by the murdered victim. J. W. Shiflet dropped out of eight last spring, and when officials began inquiry they found evidence leading to the suspicion that Anfield Shiflet knew something of his father's dis- appearance, Working on this theory, the lad was confronted with'the possibility of ar- rest, and he sought ssafety in flight. Tracked down, the young man gave battle with the sheriff, and committed suicide. Subsequently, forged letters “were uncovered that bore out the state's theory, and afew bones found in a strawstack were ‘declared’ human bones. A ring and’a few buttons also were found, establishing the thedry jthat the boy killed his father and then buthed the body. The process required several days, according to evidence gained from neighbors who haf seen young Shit- let about the ghastly funeral bier of his parent, FUNERAL DIRECTORS MEET Grand Forks, N.
