Major Mitchell. IL member of the
Mandan bar and well known through
out the West Missouri country, was
indicted Oh the charge Of embezzle-
ment by the grand jury, in session ut
that place last week. The cause as
stated III the charge is that Major
Mitchell while acting as attorney for
a certain settler negotiated a loan of
money on final proof. The money
was furnished by +. II. Wilson of
Bismarck who was given the settlers
mortgage for which the money was
placed in Major Mitchell's hands.
The settler complains that he has
never received the money. The many
friends of the defendant do not be-
lleve that he would he guilty of so
grave an offence.
\ Nebraska farmer who has had
much experience in raising cotton
wood trees from cuttings, states that
those taken from the tree in early
spring and put Immediately in the
ground do best. He plants them
where he wants them to grow, using
a spade to make IN opening in which
to insert them. lie leaves only one
OF two buds above ground, and presses
the earth firmly against the cutting.
Planted in this way not one in IL hum
dred will fail to grow if the season is
favorable. If the cuttings have been
taken from the tree some time they
should be soaked in water for a week
before they are planted. When soak
ing for Il weak, better watch them
closely and take out of the water be-
fore the cut becomes black.
