Shot Through Both Hands.
Lacy Grooms, a farmer, while driving west of Minot, shot both his hands with a shotgun, blowing off two fingers of his right hand and tearing a hole in his left hand. He was riding in a wagon, resting the butt of the gun, a double-barrelled one, on the bottom of the box, and had his hands crossed on the muzzle. A small boy sitting in front of him received some shot in his temple and one coat sleeve was completely ripped off his arm.

HANGS HIMSELF IN JAIL CELL
frank dungan, murderer of james cole, ends his life at ellendale.
Frank Dungan, who shot and killed James Cole at Fullerton, this state, hung himself in his cell in the county jail at Ellendale last night. It is thought the man was insane.
After barring the door of his cell from the inside so that help could not reach him in time to save his life, Dnugan {sp} tied his suspenders about his neck and attaching these to a rope fastened to the top of the cell ended his life. When the prisoner's body was found, one foot was touching the floor.
The prisoner in the cell adjoining that of Dungan says that he did not hear a sound during the night.
