liberated tooth drawn until it gets well.

The prisoners Murphy and Cronan
who were each sentenced to the peniten.
tiary by Judge Kneeshaw last week,
made desperate leap for liberty, near
Sterling, between Jamestown and Bis
marck, while being taken to Bismarck

and Geo. Leibinger of this city. Partic
ulars as yet are meager, but it is stated
that though the prisoners were handcuf
ed together, they jumped from the trair
though going at the rate of forty miles ar

We give considerable space to the re.
port of the institute this week. We think
it good readin." While we have not OF
course been able to give complete ac-
count of all said and done, there are
many points of value to farmers, and il
anyone desires more detail, letter OF
inquiry to the Agricultural College will
bring willing answer. President Worst
says that is what the college is for and
wants the farmers to use it. Another
reason why we have endeavored to give
as complete report as possible is to prove
to farmers the value of such meetings.
We don't believe that any farmer can
read even the partial report we give
without at least getting something worth
thinking about, and perhaps the more
intelligent farmer is, the more he will
find of interest. The Farmers Institute
whether of the state or as local institu.
ton is all right.
