Langdon — The mysterious disappearance of Gustav Guberud from his home at
Elkwood, this county, the latter part of October, is acusing considerable anxiety there as in spite of vigorous search of the surrounding country and inquiry at neighboring towns, absolutely no trace of his whereabouts can be found and his friends are at a loss to account for his sudden disappearance. There could be no possible reason for his skipping out as he was in comfortable circumstances and lived on a claim in the neighborhood, on which he expected to make a
seven year proof next spring. Besides his own place he rented a farm from Peter Olson in the same neighborhood.

N. D. Farmer Is Brutally Murdered
Upham, N. D., Feb. 16. A murder of the most brutal nature was revealed today when the body of James Schroeder, aged 43 years, a bachelor farmer residing four miles from this city, was found in a haystack.
The murder evidently was committed in the barn, and the dead body hauled by the murderer to the haystack, half a mile distant, near the Mouse river, the evident intention being to conceal the crime as long as possible.
There is only a slight clue as to the murderer, but the county authorities are busy on the case. The bringing something of a sensation, Schroeder was well and favorably known here, and it was not known that he had any enemies in this section.
From the fact that the body was hauled from the barn to the haystack in a sleigh, it is believed that the murderer is a resident of this section of the county.
