Mrs. Ferguson bad received a tele,
Phone call from some person, advis-
ing her there was a fight at the

rived Mrs. Dodge had already le
turned home and the police officer
found the body of Kilpatrick lying on

wing the fact that there was a good
quantity left when they arrived on
the seem?. Whether or not the In -

when arrester. police would not say
but it is understood that his condi-
tion "was not too bad." Police -a1'e
believed to be working on the theory
that Dodge and Kilpatrick slay have
bad some kind of an argument over
money matters, because the two had
been working together on some

tiny home bore iudications that
there had been a desperate struggle

servers that Kilpatrick was a much
bigger mat than his alleged advers'
any. It was believed Kilpatrick had
been struck a single blow on the
Bead with the tooled end of the axe
and that he must have died instant-
ly. It was learned that the axe, with
blood stains en the handle, had been
found outside of the house and that
an attempt had been made to wipe off
the blade. Dodge was described
around Exeter as a quiet type of In-
dfan laborer who went around mind-
ing his own business and trying his
hest to mance a living. Dodge has four
young daughters. Martha Mae, who
was twelve years old on Thursday;
Susan, age 6; Caroline, age 4, and
Shh9ey, the baby, aged seven months.
Mrs. Dodge and her four daughters
were around the house during the

their investigation. The pollee probe
is in charge of Inspector W. Oliver
