ESTABLISHED 1873 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE! pS NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1924 FINAL EDITION PRICE FIVE CENTS DEATH TAKES MRS. FLORENCE HARDING FEDERAL EXPERT SENT TO MAKE TRIP OVER BADLANDS AND REPORT ON ITS DESIRABILITY AS A NATIONAL PARK QUESTIONING OF RELATIVES IS CONTINUED King Holds to Theory Mrs. Sheatsley Dead Before Body Put in Furnace HOME LIFE HAPPY Aged Mother Declares She Never Knew a More Happy Family Than Daughter’s Canton, 0., Nov. ther questioning ot Mrs. Addie Sheatsley, wife of C. V. Sheatsley, pastor of the Christ Church, Bexley, » suburb of Colum- bus, who found the charred body of his wife in a furnace at the Sheatsley home Sunday might bring some clue which would solve the mysterious cremation, Prosecutor John R. King of Franklin county (Columbus) today continued exami- nation of Mr. Sheatsley and his four children, Funeral services ley were held at yester Sheats- ur here, for M Paris, n Awaiting Report Prosecutor King also is awaiting a report of Columbus analytical chemists who made an examination of the lungs and’ sophogas of Mrs. Sheatsley which Mr. King said would be forwarded to him today. The prosecutor hopes that the analysis will disclose whether Mrs. Sheatsley breathed in the furnace. He said if the examination ;disclosed that she did not breathe, it would lend credence to his theory that she was a murder victim. Mr. King declared last night he “is not satisfied” she entered the furnace voluntarily. “I am of the opinion,” he said, “that eventual disclosures will prove facts necessary to show that she did not take this method to end her life. I do not say, you understand, that another killed her. That is possible, of course, but I am inclined more and more to the belief that the body was placed in the furnace after life had passed from the body.” Mother Says Home Life Happy Questioned by Mr. King, Mrs, Ly- dia Boneseller, 80-year-old mother of the victim, who lived” with the Sheatsley family for a number of years declared “a more agreeable family I have never seen. Addie was good*and kind to me and so was her husband.” Late yesterday, in a note sent Prosecutor King, Mr. Sheatsley re- iterated his belief that his wife had been a suicide victim. Milton, the oldest son, in a note to Mr. King, declared that when he entered the furnace room and first saw the body of his mother, a small door above the coal door was open. In previous statements to the prosecutor he had declared this door was closed. Mr. Sheatsley, in a postscript to Milton’s note, said that “as you know, I thought the little girl told me the (small door was open; Milton now ays he is the one who saw it was open and that he closed it and is so willing to testify.” Prosecutor King will go further into this phase of the case, he said.

A specially bitter fight was put up against Comrade Omholt, the voters being warned by the yellow press that the real issue of the campaign was law enforce- ment versus Communism, “Comrade Miller is the first mem- ber of the party in North Dakota to. be elected to the state legislature. He will go to Bismarck for the pur- pose of showing that the political machinery of the capitalist system not .do anything for the farmers and the workers, that it is necessary for them to build up a system of their own and that they must rally around the Workers Pa organization in the United that can solve their problems. “A strong Workers Party branch is now being organized at Williston, the comrades here desiring to u as a base for party activities northwestern North Dakota, At Konetraill in Williams county a branch of ten members has already organized and these new re- eruits to the party are ready willing to educate themselves for Communist work in their respective neighborhoods. “Comrade Andrew Omholt will look after the party activities in this ter- ritory.” ‘PERFECT MAN’ IS PREDICTED To be Accomplished Through Gland Regulation, Scien- tist Says been Philadelphia, Nov. 21.—(By the A.

It will be wit! power to say whether he shall be tall or short; fat or thin; whether his voice shall be tenor or bass. “By increasing the action of slug- gish glands and slowing down the wver-active glands, remarkable re- sults have been accomplished and we arevyon the verge of even. greater achievements which will make poss- ible the production of the perfect man.” Lignite Coal Shipments Are On Increase Lignite coal shipments from North Dakota mines are considerably heavier than at this period of the year last year, according to FE.
