Inc teud between the ilatGelds of
west Virginia, and the McCoys. of
kentucky, has been settled by the mar
rage of Miss Mccoy to one of the
uatfie!ds. The feud began IN 1873 and
no less than one hundred deaths have
resulted.
Fred r. 1Iundley, of Huron, is found
guilty OF manslaughter In the first de-
gree. The minimum sentence is four
years in the pepitentiary, but he will
probably get about ten years. II will
be remembered that he shot his father
last autumn while the two were nut
ting down a carpet.
DeSmet News: Cut this out for fu-
ture reference. TO prevent gcphers
iron taking up seed corn: First, dig
asma]l tunnel in the ground about ten
feet long open at both ends. Knock
out both ends of an old barrel and set
this over one end of your tunnel OH
serving that the wind is IN the right
direction to cause a draft from the
open endof tunnel toward the barrel.
Cover the upper end Of the barrel with
wire screen or gunny sack on which
place your seed corn about Il peck at
time. Build :: fire in the mouth Of
tunnel with flax straw and cow manure
and smoke each lot abont one hour
taxing care not to over heat it. This
has been tested and found a sure cure
for gophers and is said to spoil the
flavor OF the young corn shoots for cut
worms.
