Killed by an Editor.

Minneapolis, Minn., April 11. A special to the Tribune from Williston, N. D., says O. M. Dean, editor of the Williams County Free Press, shot and killed Hank Shufelt, who attacked him. Saturday night when going from Grinnell to his home. The exposure of cattle stealing by. a gang of rustlers is posed to be the cause of the affray. Dean was assaulted once before at the same place and dragged with a lariat rope, but this time he was prepared for trouble and defended himself successfully.
