A Word About sheep on Shares and

To the Editor of the RECORD
We have heard more about sheep lately
than of any other source of revenue for the
farmers of North Dakota. Sheep are pro-
claimed to be the salvation of those parts Of
the state where exclusive grain>raising has
proved unprofitable Everybody wants
sheep. but few are able to buy them. So
the capitalist lets the sheep out on shares
and realizes large profit for himself and
his fockmaster, if he is an honest, square
dealing business man. Sheep companies
have been formed to supply the farmer with
sheep on shares, and 1t is concerning such
companies-o ut least, one of them-doing
business in Emmons county, that would
like to say few words which may help to
guide those who contemplate taking sheep
on shares. will state the facts concerning
one company, and the result to the farmers
having sheep on shares.
Until the fall of 1890 there were, and had
been for years, several large bands of sheep
in the county. They had always been in
the best of health and condition aud were
year after year kept absolutely free from any
disease whatever. These focks were han
died with much care and were a constant
medium for adding to the wealth Of their
owners, the county and tho state. There
was no danger of infection in the county,
md the sheep men were proud and happy
of the fact To-day less than six months
after the ending Of this condition Of absolute
health-we have four separate and distinct
flochs Of sheep, situated in different parts of
the county, which are badly infected with
scab (; and sheep men are wondering where
lightning will next strike.
Yes; six months ago the word "scab"
was unknown in these parts. Now, when

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 90. The two.
year-old son Of Millionaire David r.
Beals, that was kidnapped by Lizzie
Smith; a waiting maid in the household,
while the family were at dinner, was re
turned at 0;4j p. m. on payment of q
5000 ransom.
The offer of ransom was made after
a long and serious discussion The po.
lice officers argued that the criminal
should be brought to justice and that
the Offering of ransom without at.
tempting to secure the kidnappers was,
from a normal standpoint, compound.
ing a felony. But, Mr.. Beals, taking
counsel of the Charley Ross case, re.
fused to take the risk.
At o'clock in the afternoon Mr..
Beals received note by a messenger
boy, who said that an unknown man
had handed it TO him on the street. The
description Of the man as given by the
10y httAitNN NNAg eAboNAg NAbh ulANu VI viz
man who is known to have occupied a
cottage on Lydia avenue together with
another man and Lizzie Smith. He is
supposed to he a man named King.
The note informed Mr.. Beals that he
desired to meet him in front Of the post
Office as soon as possible Mr. Beals was
directed to wear a plain gold ring on his
left hand, prominently displayed, as a
means of identification. The child, said
the writer, was securely hidden and all
the detectives in the country could not
find him. He knew where the child was
hidden and would return him to the
father for q stated sum.
Nr. Eeals went at once to the post
office, and until all the departments
were closed for the night he paced
up and down the corridors increasingly.
As the hours wore on, with no response
to the secret signal, the poor father be-
gan to weep and his sobs brought tears
to the eyes of all who heard them.
Finally, at a late hour, friends led him
to mis- desolate home.
Shortly after the evening papers ap-
peared with the offer of So, 600 ransom,
a man, whose description no one has OBJ
tanned, appeared at the Beals residence
and called for MIR. Beals
Mr.. B6als appeared, and the man said
that if 500 900 in cash was paid him at
| 9.45 p. M. and the police were in
structed to keep out of the way, he
would return the child. He finally con-
sented to take So, O00
Mr.. Beals willingly made the promises
asked, and sent down to his bank for
the money in small bills.
At the hour appointed the man with
the boy, safe and sound, appeared at
! the residence and delivered up the child.
He received the 50, 1000, counted it delib
erately, bowed politely and disap,
! peared.
The police had struck hot trail, and
! at about the time the child was re-
/ turned the woman Lizzie Smith was ar
/ rested in a vacant house in a lonely 10.
! cality. She was taken to the police sta.
/ tiou and then to the Beals house, where
/ she was fully identified.
