Another Account OF Bulls Death.

The Bismarck Tribune prints a COM

other side of the story of the killing of
the old chief It is as follows:

Sitting Bull was killed While resisting

Head said he had come to arrest him he
started into the interior OF bis shack. Tie
police thought Bull was after his gun.
They warned him not to shoot or they
would kill him. Sitting Dull replied:
''All right, vii! so with you. l don't
want any tro,,bie; want to get my mo-
caslns." His two wives commenced

other story is that Catch the Bear heard

The case of the Northwestern Trust
Co.. vs.. Geo. Fl. Purchase went to the
jury Thursday afternoon. The argu-
ments of Mr.. Frye, for the prosecution,
and Mr.. Glaspsll, for the defense, were
tue most interesting of any heard at this
term OF court. The case was brought as
a criminal action, the charge being the
misrepresentation Of money. The defense
made out clear and straightforward
case, showing that the defendant had
transacted large amount of business
for the plaintiff to his satisfaction; that
no payment had been made him for his
service and that the money which he was
charged with misappropriating was held
as payment for services rendered and
that the plaintiff was so credited. The
defense was SO complete and convincing
that the jury only remained out long
enough to ballot and then returned with
a verdict of not guilty. Mr.. Purchases

charge could be sustained, but are never.

will at once bring an action for damages

ing been disposed of, the jury was dis
missed last night.

Growing the Sweet Potato.

A good sandy loan is the best soil.
Plow the land to a moderate depth,
broadcast. A week or so before ships are
ready lay Off rows with shovel plow
ID to 4 feet apart. Distribute liberal
quantity of the scrapings of the wood
pile and back yard ashes, decayed leaves,
ETC., in this furrow. Or apply acid phos-
phate and potash, 200 to 400 pounds per
acre. List III the fertilizer. When the
slips are ready to plant, finish out the
beds; or, if necessary to get good mel
low soil, re-bed on the old beds. Plant
only in freshly plowed soil, plants IS to

We have rarely found it necessary to
bar off the rows, says Southern Cult
vator, which furnishes the foregoing di-
rections. A small scooter and short
scrape is good combination to use the
first time, A double shovel stock also
does effective work. Anything that will
destroy the grass effectively and rapidly
and leave the soil mellow will answer.
An old scythe blade is good implement
with which to cut the vines when neces-

cradle finger, is good to lift the vines
and destroy the connection of the rooted
vines in the middles.

Flowing Under Green Crops.

At the New York Farmers institute
of Oswego, F. d. Curtis said: 81 cannot
on my farm afford to pillow under any
crop for manure which will make food.
l do not think there is any gain in it ex-
cept the mechanical effects accruing
from the decay of the green crop in
making the soil more friable. The green
plant food comes out Of the ground and
1t goes back. There is no gain in this, as
we return to the earth that which came
out of it, except possibly what little Of
plant food may have come from the air.
would utilize this green food as a basis
for the growing Of young animals, and
would add to it linseed meal and bran,
and take the manure thus made to the
field.
In this way fertilizing material may be
made or obtained at a less cost than to
pillow under the green food and to buy
commercial fertilizers. The young ami
mails can be made to pay the whole cost
Of foods in their growth, and the manure
will be clear gain. We cannot afford to
pillow under food, but we can afford to
buy these rich foods and turn them into
pork, veal, mutton and horse, and so save
the big profits loaded upon the fertilizers
which are commended.

Items in Potato Culture.

In an exhaustive article on potato Gull
ture in Seed limo and Harvest, occurs
the following paragraph
"The application of Paris green or
London purple should be early and often,
to keep down the Colorado beetle, as
hand picking is too slow and too expen-
sive. Constant cultivation should keep
down all weeds likely to rob tho plant Of
its food or moisture, and assist in dis
solving or decomposing tho manure APP
piled The only exception to this is the
fact that in a very wet season, OF in one
when the potato rot is very destructive,
weeds seem to. serve as a protection,
either by absorbing the superhuous
moisture. IA the soil ,,or by sheltering the
leaves of'the potato from some fungus

however, TO keep the weeds down as long
as the land Is dry enough to be fit for
