The experimental station of the State
Agricultural college has sent out q
bulletin comparing the yield of oil
meadows with those recently seeded.
The experiments we're made on land
that had been continuously pastured
for at least twenty-five years. As to
the amount of wedding necessary, it
was found that June grass aud white
clover caused more trouble than all
other weeds combined, while very little
wedding was needed on the pla.s of
timothy, fowl meadow grass, red
clover, and mammoth clover. Alsike
clover, perennial rye grass, some
plats OF tall oat grass, and some
of orchard grass iran out" during the
last year of trial, and red clover may
be expected to die the coming winter.
The average yield of the natural sod
was light when compared with mos.
plsts recently seeded. The largest
yields we're Of the plsts sown with a
mixture Of eight sorts, but the relative
value OF the grasses and clover has not
yet been determined by chemical an
alysis or by feeding.

The Suave Managing Sport Again in Il
Meshes Of the Law.

The suave Managing Sport Again in the
Meshes OF the Law.
Joe L. Black, the now notorious all
around sport, of "fake'' foot racing fame.
is again in the tolls. He was caught at
Great Falls yesterday. while ostensibly
jumping a straw bond which had been
given for his appearance before the United
States grand jury on the charge Of having
fraudulently voted at the late election.
Marshal Furay went to Butte Saturday up
on the intimation that Blacks bondsmen
had withdrawn from him. 1t was learned
that Boston Charley" Marion, who went
on Blacks bond for $500, had released him
self for some unknown reason. While a re.
port was diligently circulated in Butte that
Blacks bono was all right, that gentleman
quietly left the city. Marshal Cronin was
notified Yesterday that Black was at the
Falls. but he wired back that he did not
want him, but probably Furay did. The
United States marshal received word in
Butte later. and at once left for Great
Falls, having instructed the chief of police
there to hold Black. The latter will arrive
in this city to-day under the care of Mr..
Furay. Evan Morgan and George Casey
are Blacks bondsmen, but the authorities
claim to have reason for believing that
they are not sufficient security.

ON THE ICE.

A Beautiful Floor OF Ice and Successful
Opening of the Big Rink.
Col. Broadwater would have been a
greatly pleased man could he have looked
upon the brilliant success that marked the
opening of the famous natatorium as a
skating rink, last evening.
Many people have been skeptical as to
the feasibility of transforming the great
plunge into a great ice rink, and all these
are now agreeabIy disappointed. The peo-
pie of Helena have been longing for some
thing to take the place Of the big hot
bath in the winter, and now they have it.
They fully showed their appreciation of the
enterprise by the large attendance last
night. From 6:30 to 8 o'clock p. m. the
electric cars were crowded to suffocation
with people and skates. Some of the cars
crowded the platforms and hung on the
steps. Nearly everybody that went out
carried skates, and there were many spec.
tator5.
The sheet Of ice under the spacious nata-
forum was perfect for the enjoyment of
the exhiliarating sport. Within a short
time the crystal sheet was crowded with
merry skaters, from little tots up to grown
people. The young people we're there in
force and many graceful and expert skat-
ers were seen. At no time, notwithstapd-
ing the large crowd present, was there any
lack of space for skating, and 800 people
can comfortably skate there. It was quite
a novel scene. Helena never before had
such a grand skating palace and it will
probably be crowded every afternoon and
evening while winter lasts. Electric lights
and Japanese lanterns furnished the ,ilu-
minatiOn. Seats are provided on the icy
floor and around the walk. Comfortable
parlors furnished with stoves are neatly
fitted up for ladies and gentle.

The Principals of the Shooting Scrap,
Meet In Court.
The trial Of Jos. Hooper and VIM. John.
son, the principals of Saturdays shootin,
scrape. came off in Judge Sanders cour
cornered fight. Disturbing the peace was tn,
charge preferred. Massena Bullard ap-
peared as counsel for Hooper, Dudley Dr
Boss acted in a similar capacity for VIM,
johnson and County Attorney Nolan was or
hand toprosecute both men in behalf Of the
state, and he got away with the case. John
son, who did the shooting. was fined $50
and Hooper, who used a crowbar, wal fined
*25. The costs we're evenly divided md the
total expense to the defendants, exclusive
Of attorneys fees. was $4,000.
1t was q rather interesting struggle
among the lawyers. When Hooper testified
the opposition Immediately began to show
by an array Of witnesses what a bad man
he WAS. The facts IT the quarrel were
substantially as related in The 1NpEpEND-
ENT Hooper bore u scratch on his eye
brow and another on his left hand AZ the
result Of the shooting. He maintained
that he had no intention of striking John
SON, and the latter said he did not intend
to shoot Hooper; that he was cool and de-
liberate II could have perforated him if
he so desired. Hooper was positive that
johnson intended killing him.
The jury was out about a half All hour
when the verdict of guilty was rendered.
Both defendants expressed n desire to ap-
peal the case but upon second thought they
we're convinced that they got of very cheap.
ANY other charge than the one preferred
would have bound both over to the grand
jury. Hooper paid his fine AID was re-
leased. johnson paid 1926 on his, and
his bond of $50 advanced by q friend was
held for the balance. Unless johnson set
ties matters with his bondsmen within
thirty days he will be called upon by an

A Seattle Man RscOvsrs HIS wife After a
Lively Chase.
The Sunday train ftom Great Falls had or
board a. passengers. j. W. Duvat and wife
and David Braxcli, all of Seattle. They
remained In this city over night and yes
terday separated, Braxcli going towards
Butte.
During the last week Duvsl, who had left
Seattle for the north country on some bust
ness, got IN inklinR that all vas net we'll ut

his wife had skipped for parts unknown.
He soon realized tho truth and lost no
time In running down the recroant pair. II
seems that the woman left the city first
and met Brazcli at All appointed place on
the railway line. Brazsll IL said to be
chief Of the Merchant police station in
Seattle. Duval was not acquainted with
prise. The three are not prominent
movers in social circles and the
idea that his wife had gone with another
man did not concern him sufficiently to
prompt him to do something desperate; but
be fooled in that way. Newsboys along the
line kept him posted AZ to the movements
of the runaways and he tracked them to
this city. Arriving here. DuvalN learned
that they had gone to Great Falls. He was
on the next train 10 that place n had no
difficulty in 1inding the pair, who were iC n
room over o concert nall. Brazell imme-
diately made himself conspicuous by his,
absence. Duvnl talked TO his wife a few min
utes, telling her that Braxell had a wife and
four children, and that he was no good and
was liable to be taken back to Seattle for
d~efraudine people.
That settled it with Mrs. Duval. She
cal!e. Brazell a lying pet name, as he had
told her he was unmarried. She concluded
to give him the go-by and then
went back TO her husband. The
trio left Great Falls on the
same train but did not speak. Duval re-
manned in Helena Sunday and was looking
around for n business location. He offeredY

The Steam Motor Company's Troubles
Never Come sinEly.
The steam motor line is laid up for re-
pairs. A motor is standing at the station
on sixth avenue by the Power block, and a
vagrant car stands on the Park avenue
track. The motor is anything but an orna-
ment in the vicinity, and -occasioned many
p~leasantries yesterday. A syndicate of
Office men is seriously talking of painting
the motor and decorating it with ribbons.
1t is standing where it is because the
boiler will not hold water, there being sew
eral leaks in the flues. Another motor il
undergoing repairs at the round house. and
1t has been given ont that the cars will be
running again on Friday.
Unless the company succeeds in running
a car over the line each day they are liable
to lose their franchise, which is a very
valuable one, and would be eagerly sought
by competing lines.

Shortly afterward the victim of the
experiment was taken from the house Of
