Thrifty Farmers and Stock Raising.

State Senator NJ. f. Murphy of
Grand Forks has been making trip
through the middle states. He says
he noticed signs of prosperity on every
hand through Illinois, Iowa and Ohio.
Winter wheat was up about six inches
and appeared strong and hard, with
prospects of an excellent crop. Spring
seeding, however, was very backward
and it was only last week that the
farmers commenced sowing. They
could hardly believe that North Da-
kota was ahead OF them in this re-
Spect. Central Iowa Mr.. Murphy
found to be exceptionally prosperous
and he attributes this to the fact that
farmers do not 60 in for small grains
to any extent. Their attentions are
mainly directed to horses. cattle and
hogs. There is a very strong demand
for all these at the present time and
the profit is much greater than for
raising grain. In Ohio and Illinois
where small grains were raised more
extensively he noticed that While the
country was prosperous there was not
the life behind the farmers as in Iowa.
where stock raising was the principal
industry,

Many Thought Shooting
JuStifiabIe.

The killing of Charles Brucker in
Merricourt township on Monday night,
February II, at the hands of his wife
will be investigated by the authori-
ties of Dickey county, and the ques-
tion as to whether the shooting Of this
man was done in self Defense or
whether it was a case OF murder will
have to be determined. 1t will be re-
membered that the coroner's jury who
were summoned at the inquest held by
Coroner Millham on February II de-
cided that Brucker was shot by his
wife and the shooting was justitiable.
Brucker had no RELATIVES in the local

demanded before this, but many pro-
tests have been made against the
affair being dropped without a trial,
with the result that a strict inveSti-

Mrs. Brucker has been arrested and
will be given trial.

Additional Details.

Cass Lake Voice. April p: On
Thursday evening, precisely at 9:30
O'Clock, John C. Clark died at his
home in Cass Lake. The end came
peacefully, and Mr.. Clark passed
away with scarcely perceptible
tremor. AS was we'll known, Mr..
Clark was a consumptive, but few
were aware OF the fact that during
the last few days previous to his de-
mise, he was rapidly nearing the end
of all things earthly.
The invalid realized, on Wednesday
of this week, that his days we're num-
bered and SO stated to his faithful
wife. He took a ride Wednesday
afternoon, which was his last appear
ance in public. On Thursday his con-
dition grew rapidly worse. At about
8 o'clock in the evening, Mr.. Clark
stated to his wife, in response to a
question as to how he was, that he
''never felt better" At exactly 9:30,
the sick man gave two or three gasps
and his spirit fled ''to the bourne
from which no traveller eer returns. "
The deceased leaves besides his wife,
a son, Marian, aged IA, and a daughter
Phyllis, aged II.
Funeral services were held at the
house yesterday afternoon, Rev.
Smith officiating. The remains were
taken to Akely this morning for
burial, the deceased having often re-
Quested that his body be buried
.'among the pines"
Although not entirely unexpected,
the death of Mr.. Clark was shock to
his family, and the Voice extends sin
cerest sympathy to the sorrowing wife
and children.

window of the Morrison hotel. Clark
and Madison streets, at two o'clock
this morning and died an hour later
at the county hospital. She would have
been instantly killed on the stone side
walk only that she struck an awning,
which broke her fall. Her limbs were
fractured and she was also hurt inter
nally. Blood was flowing from her
mouth and nostriis when she was put
into police ambulance and hurried o
the county hospital.
The woman was clad only in her
nightgown. As she plunged headlong
from the window several pedestrians
on the street heard her scream. She
turned a somersault in the air and
when she struck the awning she landed
squarely on her back. From the avn
ing she bounded to the sidewalk. She
struck on her head and shoulders.
Twenty minutes before the woman fell
from the window she entered the hotel
and was taken to her room. After dis
robing she probably sat on the window
sill TO get the air and lost her balance
or fell asleep.
