More Shooting
John Dart was shot in Bannigan's establishment, on Fourth St., Monday evening, one ball entering his left breast, passing along the ribs and coming out at the back, another ball entering the wrist and coming out near the elbow. Dart refuses to tell who shot him, and little could be learned of the circumstances. Indeed he declares he shot himself, but the location of the wounds are such that this seems impossible. The ladies of the house were arrested but refuse to give information as to how the affair occurred. Dart will recover without permanent injury.
Bob Costello shot at John McMahon during a row yesterday, the ball grazing McMahon's head. McMahon thought he was badly wounded and felt like surrendering, but when a bystander remarked something about its being a good thing, he jumped up and knocked the bystander about two rods, more or less. A shooting scrape also occurred at the lower brewery, yesterday. This morning Joe Reagan was prancing around town with a light cane, remarking about every fourth step, "I am the black eyed chief of Bismarck, I am," and suggesting that he wanted some one to whip him. Joe is capable of better things, and if some one would knock the whiskey clean out of him and give his upper story a chance to recuperate, he might again become worthy of the respect of whose who would be glad to be his friends.

Bismarck Man Killed Under Railroad Car
Brooks Underwood, conductor on the Soo line, was instantly killed about 10 o'clock this morning at Wilton, when he fell between two cars and was run over.
The train, extra freight 419 west, was backing in on an elevator track at Wilton in charge of Conductor J.L. Setser. Conductor Underwood was working as a brakeman. He slipped and fell between two cars, and the wheels of the cars severed his body, according to reports reaching here.
Mr. Underwood was about 45 years of age. His home was at 1200 Broadway, and he is survived by a widow and a daughter about 9 years of age.
Mr. Underwood's home originally was Atlanta, Ga., but he had been in the Soo line service since 1912. He was a member of all Masonic bodies, including the Shrine, and B.R.T and O.B.C. He was well known and popular among railroad men.
A telephone message to The Tribune from Wilton said that at noon arrival of the McLean county coroner was being awaited before the body was moved from its position under the train. Two people saw Mr. Underwood fall between the cars, but were some distance away. The body was dragged about two car lengths.

Larson Will Held Valid In High Court
Decisions Of County And District Court Of Burleigh County Is Upheld
A will bequeathing an estate in northern Burleigh county value [sic] at about $15,000 to Annetta Erickson, a friend of Peter Larson, deceased hermit, was declared valid by the supreme court here. The will, written in the Swedish language, was in pen and ink on ordinary scrap paper and was written January 29 1900, 20 years before Larson's death.
Larson was found dead in his home, his body partly devoured by the large number of cats he always kept.
The special administrator, Oscar Backman, contested the will on the ground of fraud and undue influence and that it was not the will of the deceased. The Swedish consul interested himself in behalf of the residents of Sweden who would be heirs of Larson.
The court affirmed decisions of the District Judge Duessle and County Judge I.C. Davies. Judge Robinson dissented, holding the will, "is manifest forgery."
