ATTEMPTED MURDER.
A Montana Man Knocked Down
With Billiard Cue Monday Night.

A Montana Man Knocked Down
With a Billiard Cue Monday Night.
Considerable excitement was created
IN the city about 6 pm. Monday evening,
by a quarrel between couple of strangers
from Montana, which came near result
ing fatally to one of them. They had
some words on Fifth avenue, and after.
wards adjourned to Front street bill
lard hall, where an encounter took place.
One of the men, who gives his name as
James Burke, was sitting down in the
room, seemingly ANXIOUS to avoid trouble,
when the other seized heavy cue from
the rack and struck him two hard blows
across the face. Burke fell to the floor,
bleeding and insensible. and bis assail-
ant fed out of the back door pur-
sued by crowd. When they
came up with him he drew pistol, but
on being covered by several guns he
threw his pistol away and surrendered.
The weapon, a 32.calibre, was afterwards
picked up by one of the pursuers. At
the city jail, putty knife was also taken
from him. He refused to offer any ex.
PLANTATION of his assault, and is still un.
communicative on the subject. He was
transferred to the county Jail Tuesday
morning and gave bis name as Gorman.
DR.. Baldwin was called to attend
Burke, and found his injuries quite SER
ious. The mans skull is fractured above
the left eye, his nose is broken. and sew.
eral teeth were loosened by the blow.
He was removed to the Ferrier hospital
and is resting easy today. 1t was at
one time doubtful whether he would re-
cover at all.
Burke says he is from Helena and that
the man who struck him is named Nor
gan, and halls from Missoula. He re-
fused to say what caused the trouble,
and there is quite mystery surround
ing the affair. Burke was we'll supplied
with money, having e4O6 IN his pockets,
and also carried an immense revolver-a
Remington, 45-calibre. The affray was
probably the result of an old row.

CONVENTION COMMENT.

A Review of the Proceedings of the
Republican Convention Saturday.
While the attendance at the republi-
can convention Saturday was larger than
anticipated, and gratifying to the lead
ers who did not expect great deal of
interest to be taken in the convention,
the absence Of delegates from eight pre-
cipcts occasioned some comment. 1t le
not known whether the republicans in
those precincts failed to hold caucuses,
but they had no representation either by
duly elected delegates or by proxies, and
evidently cared little who composed the
Stutsmsn county delegation to the state
nominating convention. The leaders
account for this apathy by reference to

HOW WHEAT LOOKS.
A Great Difference Noticed in the
Fields...RuSt Calk,

A Great Difference Noticed in the
Fields-.-Rust CaIk.
There is a great difference in the ap-
pearance Of the wheat fields owing to the
very early and very late sowings. Wheat
stands all the way from low unheaded
grain, to the heavy thick growth, with
long full heads that ought to yield % or
80 bushels to the acre. All of the early
sown wheat looks we'll. There Is scarcely
an exception. On the other hand the
wet spring weather prevented p]owing,
which was not generally done last fall,
and great deal OF grain was poorly put
in, the farmers themselves not counting
much upon it. They sowed it because
they had the seed, and took chances on
an extremely favorable season to mature
it.
The wheat eowed on stubble ground
without other preparation is generally
very inferior, and it will require an ex-
ceptionally long period OF sun and warm
weather to mature it. Wheat on spring
blowing is not, as general thing, as
good as on fall plowing, or as thick
in growth as usual. Summer fallowed
land makes the best showing
by far, this year. There are many pieces
of grain on fallowed land that look as
we'll and promise as big yield as ever,
provided no damage is found from rust
later on.
AS to rust there is a difference Of
opinion among farmers, concerning the
damage done, or II prospect. Some fields
show rusty patches where the wheat
is not growing as rapidly as elsewhere
in the same field. The damage caused
by rust is generally matter of guess
work, unless the fungus is of very pro-
nounced character, and the loss can only
be estimated after the crop is threshed.
Rust is certainly showing to some ex-
tent IN many fields, owing to the
extreme heavy dews, hot weather and
absence of strong, drying winds. There
Is no great anxiety yet, however, regard
ing this danger, and the early sowed
fields will dou ptless be able to resist any
great ravages from rust. The late wheat
will be the most injured, of course.

jamestown Baseball Cranks Buried
In Gloom-..Notes Of the Game.
The east bound passenger train was
held till 5 o'clock Monday afternoon to
accommodate the Cooperstown baseball
club and the large delegation Of citizens
that came down with them to witness
the game with the jamestown boys. 1t
was a happy crowd that got on board
and they were not at all backward in ex-
pressing their hilarity. The elegant
Leland cup was borne aloft with be-
coming pride, and every man who took
part in winning it was regarded in the
light of q hero. The members of tho
club were especially jubilant as they had
not anticipated victory and would have
been content with record for good
playing. They came merely to give the
jamestown boys lively game and re-
Trained from betting to any great extent.
Hence, very little money was won by
them aside from the regular purse of $50,
but the cup had been captured and that
was glory enough for one day. The en-.
tire Griggs county contingent left the
city feeling blithe and gay, and without
doubt received royal welcome home
last night.
The jamestown boys we're not quite
as clipper. They had played the poor
est game of their lives and every indl-
vidual member Of the club longed for
solitude-for some cool retreat away
from the busy haunts Of men, where they
might mediate upon the uncertainty Of
a "sure thing" and silently ponder
over the utter ruthlessness of
fate. Manager Coggeshall was found in
refrigerator at his home in the First

The base ball game between the Coop.
erstown and jamestown clubsMonday af-
ternoon drew out the largest crowd that
ever witnessed game in this city.
Scores of ladies were among the specta-
tors and everyone took lively interest
in the fortunes of the contending clubs.
The band escorted the players down
Fifth avenue to the grounds, and the
boys attracted lots Of attention in their
nobby uniforms-the Cooperstown nine
in gray and jamestown in black.
The game was called at 2 o'clock, with
the Cooperstown club in the field.
Marion Nashold led off with base bit
and went to second, Walters struck out,
Poole got first base on balls, Marral
struck out and Briggs made short hit
which forced Nashold out at third, and
retired the side with goose egg.
J. Sinclair Of the Cooperstown club
made base hit in the first inning, but
three men went out before he scored,
and the inning ended with bonors even.
. The second inning was another disas-
trous one for Jamestown, Buck, Proctor
and Nelson going out in one. two, three
order. Cooperstown did little better,
securing one run on an error by Nelson
after two men we're out.
In the third Walters got to second
base but the side was retired without
score. Cooperstown found the ball in
great shape in this inning and batted
Nashold's curves with eminent success.
Seven scores we're placed to their credit,
one man making three base bit and
bringing IN three men.

THE PLATFORM.
"We, the republicans of North Da-
kota in convention assembled, reaffirm
our belief in the principles as laid down
in the republican national platform ad.
opted at Minneapolis and hail with
delight the practical results of protection
and reciprocity as inaugurateG and put
IN practice by the party of progress.
Second-We hereby approve of the
administration and favor the reelection
of Benjamin Harrison as president of the
United States, and especially do we
commend the president to the people as
one who has largely retrieved the dis
aster brought upon us by the action of
Grover Cleveland's land commissioner,
W. A. J. Sparks, whose administration
was SO oppressive to our pioneer settlers.
We also bespeak for Mr.. Harrison the
consideration and support of the old
soldiers, who were so grossly lnsulted by
Grover Cleveland IN his message and by
his repeated vetoing of pension bills.
Third-That the course of our con-
gressman, Hon. NJ. N. johnson, has been
worthy of the high esteem in which he
has been held by the people of North
Dakota and we cordially endorse his
official actions in the present congress.
Fourth-We point with pride to the
record made by the present state admin
istration which has been characterized
by ability and economy, and by the re-
election of Andrew H. Burke for govern
or, and the success of our state ticket,
We will have an assurance of continu-
alton of everything which tends to a
good government, the observance Of the
constitution and enforcement Of all laws
of our state.
Fifth--We consider it of vital import
ance that proper exhibit of the produce
tions and resources of North Dakota
should be made at the Columbian
Worlds exhibition, and earnestly recon-
mend that our state make the necessary
appropriation to insure the same.

Mr.. w. n Smith, of Fordyce, and
published in the Enterprise, of that
place:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
Washington, Feb. 10, '92.
w. n. SMITH, Fordyce, Ark:
MY Dear Sir-Yours of the 9th
inst. received. | think there are
three principal causes for the low
price of cotton:
l. Our high tariff taxes so re-
strict trade with England and other
cotton consuming countries that they
are unable to purchase the cotton we
grow and what the world needs. The
taxes paid on imports by those who
buy southern cotton is so much di-
verted from cotton growers.
2. Speculation in futures.
3. The lack of sufficient money
volume.
Our country is the greatest silver
producing country in the world, and
yet it dscriminates against the coin
age OF that metal, so that its bullion
value is about twenty-five per cent.
less than gold. England, our cot
ton market, fixes the price of Amer
ican cotton on a gold basis. She
then purchases our silver bullion at
the bullion value, and with what she
gets for seventy-tive cents makes an
India coin that is worth in India as
much as our dollar, and will buy a
dollar worth Of India cotton. India
has the silver dollar as the measure
of value. Under onr present coinage
laws we allow the Surplus silver of
American mines to be used to pur
chase Cooley raised cotton, and thus
reduce the price of our product.
This is particularly the case with
low grade cotton, because the India
product is nearly all of that charac-
ter. The cotton crop is not more
than the world could and would con-
sumo with Just trade laws, but it is
more than the people OF the old
world, with their labor taxed as it is,
can buy. Unless we change these
laws | fear the price will not increa e
soon. Our people should of course
grow such products as they can for
their own use, but cotton must be
the surplus crop of the South, When
ever our farmers begin to raise corn,
wheat, pork or cattle for sale they at
once begin competition with the
Western farmers, who are already
producing a surplus for. the foreign
trade. The South has furnished the
Northwest market for much of its
grain and meat. Just as we cease to
purchase these products they must
go abroad for sale, and under exist
ing laws will be reduced in price.
The remedy, as l see it, is to open
our minis to free coinage of silver,
prevent gambling in futures and OPP
tions, and allow our people to ex-
change the product of their labor for
the product of other peoples labor
without tax or hindrance. Then and
not till then will we be able to feed
the hungry and clothe the naked of
| the world. 1t is not SO much over
production as it is under-consu mp
ton, caused by reason of the inabil-
| ity of the consumers to purchase
what they actually need to make life
comfortable. Even our people do
not get half the cotton goods they
reasonably ought to have.
| have written you hurredly, but
trust you will understand my mean
ing. Yours truly,
THos. c. MCRAE.

plsownED LAMBS.

How to Discipline Some Ewes and Fool
Others Into Adopting Lambs.
Young ewes frequently cause much
trouble on account of their disowning
their lambs, rnore especially if parturi-
ton has been severe. Many young ewes
lose their lambs; in this case, if they
have G. good show of milk, take twin
lamb from poor mixer, skin the dead
lamb and dress the twin with it, and put
it to the eve that lost the lamb. This
piece of deception is done by making
holes in the skin for the legs and head of
the live lamb, taking care to leave the
tail on the skin; rub the head Of the
adopted lamb with the skin of the dead
one. The new lamb will then smell of
the old one, and when the milk has once
passed through it there will be no diff
Guilty about the nurse owning it. In
few days after tho eve has taken to the
adopted lamb you can then commence
reducing the false skin and gradually less
ening it by degrees, beginning with the
tail, until all disappears.
In the event of eve having twin
lambs and little milk one of the young
sters should be transferred, when posi-
BILE, to eve having a single lamb but
sufficient milk for two. If both lamb
about the same time the transfer is cas-
lily accomplished by simply rubbing the
ewes lamb and the stranger together,
SO that they may have the same smell.
By this means the ewes are easily de-
ceived; they do not know which is which
and take readily to both lambs; still /
have seen some old ewes very quick at
detection.
When a eve does not allow her lamb
to suck, make halter for her and tie her
up in coop where she cannot butt the
lamb. She will then soon tire of the
treatment and become attached to the
youngster.
AS lubricant and antiseptic for lamb
ing purposes there is nothing to compare
to carbolized oil. You will find one to
twenty about the proper proportion for
mild cases, and in severe cases one to
ten; two teaspoonfuls is sufficient for
one injection. This means that you mix
one part of pure carbolic acid to ten or
twenty parts Of best olive oil. It is used
by lubricating the parts and the hands of
the lamber when assistance is required.
In the event of death, on no account
should the skinning and disposal of the
dead sheep devolve on the head shepherd.
The carcasses should be removed quite
distance from the fold and either deeply
buried or burned, SO as not to attract
stray dogs or those bowling devils of
wolves.-William Watson in Breeders
Gazette.
