Piatt to Be Arraigned Next Tuesday The first case on the criminal calen- dar for the June term of the Burleigh county district court will be the triat of Clarence White of Hazelton, wha shot and killed Charles D. Sloan and R. S. Piatt on the streets of Hazel- ton the morning of March 4. The case has been brought to Burleigh county from Emmons on change of venue. Judge E. T. Burke, former as: sociate justice of the ‘North Dakota supreme court, will defend White, while State’s Attorney Scott Cameron inal history of central North Dakota. The Hazelton killing was one of the most \sensational in recent crim- inal history of central North Dakota. White came from South Dakota to Emmons county with Sloan several years ago, when the latter bought one of the finest ranches in the cen- tral part of the state. R. S. Platt, who came from South Dakota about the same time, was a brother-in-law of Sloan and agent for the Standara Oil Co: at Hazelton, Last fall ‘White lost an arm, and while recuperating from his injury he lived with the Pi atts at Hazelton. After recovering, being unable to follow farm work, he took a place in a pool hall at Brad- dock. It was while White was living with the Piatts that Sloan is alleged to have made the charges which ulti- mately led to’the killing. Bad blood which had existed for weeks culmin?: ed in a quarrel between White and Sloan on the streets of Braddock on March 4. White drew a gun and firea several shots into Sloan’s body. The latter died instantly, and White, pro- ceeding down the street, gave himseit up to the constable. The latter did not take his man in charge nor did he deprive him of his gun, but merely di- rected hita to report fater to be taken to the county Jail at Linton. In the meantime, Piatt eharing this his brother-in-law had been killed, rushed to his home, procured 2 revolver, and went gunning for Whit. He fired one shot at White on the sireet but miss- ed him. The latter, reloading his gun as he went, ran into a nearby store, whither Piatt followed him. White shouted to Piatt to put up his gun; that he (White) did not wish to harm him (Piatt). Piatt reopened fire, which White returned, several shois taking effect. White then gave him self up. Many. conflicting stories have been circulated as to the causes leading up to the tragedy. There re. untection mains much mystery in. ¢ with the case, and: as trial will attract more th: terest. Sloan was on¢ o! the iest' ranchers in ceniriisNorth Dakota, He carried $50,000 wort) oi life. insur- ance, and left a large anwuni of prop- erty. in addition . to his ‘Hazelton ranch.

AUSTRIA FEARS PRUSSIANIZING OF HER ARMIES Complete Text of Recent Agree- ment of Emperors Await- ed with Anxiety OVERSHADOWS ALL ELSE Zurich, Switzerland, May 16.—Publi- cation of the contents of the military agreement arrived at by the German and Austrian emperors’ at their con- ference is awaited with intense anx- iety in Vienna, according to a dis- patch to the Frankfurter Zeitung from ‘the Austrian capital. The most im- portant question is whether the agree- nient is so complete that the Austro- Hungarian army will be permeated with the Prussian spirit as were the armies of the south German state af- ter 1866. In this event, it is added, the ak liance would be deepened and com- pleted in such manner that the sig- niticance of other political and eco- nomic questions would recede into the background.

Mr. Burleson’s opposition ment to give a flat increase of 15 per- cent to postal employes is due, the senator said,. to “his ambition to sho wa surplus in the postoffice de partment.
