Mother's Vision of Slain Son Leads to an Arrest.
Butte, Mont.—The arrest of A. J. Crisler, for whom officers had been searching since the finding of the body of Jonas Brown, a homesteader, in a shallow grave near a homestead claim which had been occupied by Crisler, is reported from Regina, Canada.
Brown was murdered near Glasgow, Mont., in the northern part of the state, his head having been split open with an ax, presumably as he slept as Crisler's guest. The body, attired only in night clothes, was dragged to a hole nearby and a few shovelfuls of earth thrown in.
Suspicion attached to Crisler when he was seen driving a team that had belonged to the missing man. It was a dream of Brown's mother that her son had been murdered and buried that caused her to arouse the officers, and a search revealed his decomposed body. The crime was committed last April.
