to oppose bill which the government

Another Fatal Accident,

Another fatal deer hunting accident

Robert March was shot in the heart
and instantly killed while hunting
deer. The accident occurred at Gay

ing.withiD few weeks.
The Mandan Pioneer gives further
particulars of the accidental shooting

Vanderbilt, South Dakota, on the
east side of the Missouri. Mr..
Grouse in relating the facts Of the
occurrence states that he shot at
something, which he supposed to be a
deer, but it proved to be Mr.. Marshall.
The bullet entered the left shoulder
of Marshall, and passed through the
lung. The unfortunate man lived
from 10 in the morning, when the
shooting occurred, until Up. m. The
opinion seems to been that the shoot
ing was purely accidental, as stated
by Mr.. Grouse.

KELLY GOES FREE
Agent For n. p. at Barlow Acquitted
of the Charge of Selling
Liquor.
Judge Pollock Instructed Jury to
Find Him Not Guilty of the
Crime.
fs'e
Case of State vs.. Harrington, AC-
Cused of MansIaughter, Was
Dismissed.

At Darlington Wednesday Judge
Pollock instructed the jury in the case
OF the State VS.. Kelly, accused of SELL
ing liquor at McHenry, where he was
agent for the n. p, to bring in ver-
dict of not guilty. Sixteen witnesses
were examined and were post tive that
livuor was not sold. One man admit
ted that he took drink OF whiskey in
the depot, but he had it all by him
self and had purchased it elsewhere.
The complaining witness did not know
that whiskey was sold by Kelly but
had heard that such was the case.
The state had no case at all but Kelly
was put to the expense of trial just
the same, through the activity Of a
man who did not seem to think that
evidence was necessary. Kelly came
in from Darlington Wednesday even
ing and left for the east.
1t is said that Judge Pollock, the
apostle Of temperance, WINGED when
he gave the order to the jury to bring
in verdict Of not guilty in Kelly's
case. It's seldom that the court has
been compelled to take such action in
blind pig case.
The case against Harrington, a
young farmer accused of manslaugh-
ter, was dismissed. Harrington was
alleged to have brought about the
death of Mike Garvey, a machinery
dealer of Darlington, three years ago.
Harrington and Garvey were engaged
in scuffle and it was alleged that
Harrington threw Garvey so that his
knee struck sharp corner of plow
share. The wound resulted in blood
poison from which Garvey died. Har-
rington was tried two years ago on a
charge of manslaughter and the jury
disagreed.

Great N. P. Earnings.

November gross earnings Of the
Northern Pacific are showing about
the same ratio of increase as was OBJ
tanned in October. October, it will be
remembered, broke all records in the
history Of the company, the increase
being nearly a million and a quarter
dollars. When one seeks the cause Of
this increase it is not hard to find.
Traffic Of all kinds is moving in ire
mendous volume. The grain traffic is
alone large enough to account for
most of the increase.
The Northern Pacific has delivered
at the four eastern termicals, St. Paul,
Minneapolis, Duluth and West Su-
perior, from August 18th, a total of
q, 464 cars of wheat. This does not
include any other grains. 1t is diff
cult for the laymen to appreciate the
magnitude Of this volume of wheat.
The increase can better be understood
when it is stated that it aggregates
Is, ,23l more carloads than were hauled
by the Northern Pacific for the same
period last year.
This represents the increase in car
loads only. In addition to this there
has been even greater increase in
total number of bushels, for the rea-
son that the Northern Pacific, during
the past year, has received over 1000
new box cars, having from IS to 40 per
cent. more carrying capacity than the
old cars. The total bushels per train
this year is, therefore, much heavier.
Many Of the new cars hold LOCO and
1900 bushels, consequently the in
crease in the total bushels is even
greater than the increase in car loads.
The increase in the volume of mer-
chandise traffic is also feature for
careful study. The percentage Of in
crease exceeds all predictions. None
of the roads are equipped to handle
all the business offered.

Increased Deposits.

State Examiner Wallace returned
Saturday from two weeks trip in
the northern part of the state, accom-
panied by his wife. He says all of the
banks examined show much larger de-
posits than at this time last year and
one bank contained over six times as
much money on deposit as at the same
time in 1900. The flax crop is largely
responsible for this, although the
wheat and stock have helped swell
the results. There is great scarcity
of cars for shipping the crops and all
the elevators are full and every empty
car taken as soon as it can be secured.

Jas. Kieran, Courtenay: Two years
ago one of my neighbors, NJ. Altringer
bought a quarter of land near Court
enay for ST. an acre. Last year he
did not pay much more than the in
terest and taxes on the the purchase
price of the land. But this year he
struck it right. He put in ll2 acres
of flax, and it was sowed at the right
time so that the rains did not beat
sprouting of the seed. I understand
that his crop this year has practically
enabled him to pay for the land. It's
great thing when you come to think
of it-that SO much money can be
taken from so small an amount OF land
in about 100 days.

Agricultural COllege, Fargo, N. ",
Nov. Pit has long been known that
North Dakota contains valuable de-
posits of clays, and for several years
there has been an increasing demand
for better knowledge concerning the
value of these clays for brick making,
pottery, etc. Both chemical analysis
and practical tests show that many of
these clays are suitable for the manu-
facture of high grade building and
ornamental material, fire brick, and
even pottery and cement. Each
month there is an increased number
of samples sent in for analysis or test
ing, many of which we have had to re-
fuse for lack of facilities for this work.
To satisfy the demand made upon
the survey to investigate these prob
lens and to promote the development
of these important resources, arrange
ments have been completed in con
nection with the federal survey,
whyreby practical tests will now he
made with all promising samples OF
clay sent in from our state.
If you are interested in any deposits
of clay that may be of economic value
and desire to have them tested, notify
the director of the survey, and you
will receive full instructions for /, e
securing and shipping of samples,
which will he tested during the wia-

All Carter came up before Justice

anxious to see the outcome of what is
an unusual case to come before JUS
tice. The boy, Carter, attended the
"Old Jed Prouty'' performance Satur.
day evening. According to his story
t0ld-in justice court, he came out from
the show and stood near one of the
posts on the outer edge of the walk.
Policeman L Moore came along and told
him to move on. Carter and the
policeman had q wordy war in which
the latter used improper language,
Carter claimed. Carter, with q crowd
Of between Is and 100 remained in
front of the opera house until Onicer
Russell told them to go home. They
gave three cheers for Russell and dis
persed. Carter says that he in no way
obstructed the sidewalk and that it
was Officer L'Moore himself who inter
fered with the passing of people up
and down the street.
Officer L'Moore testified that Carter
was obstructlp pg the sidewalk and said
that the defendant failed to obey him
when he told him to move on.

titled for the city, Sacho had ordered
L Moore. to clear the sidewalk. Mr..

of the play Mr.. Goodrich had no trou-
BILE in passing on the sidewalk and to
his home.
John Martin was called for the de-
Tense. He testified that the position
Carter, occupied in front Of the opera
house would not obstruct the sidewalk
in any way. That portion of the side

which Carter leaned, is built out from

CARE IN HORSE BREEDING.
value Of Good Sires Attention to
Colts Gives Re-
suits.

Wnen q IeW years dkO, says COI'
respondent of the Bismarck Tribune,
the late Marcus DAILY paid $40, 600 in
money "and some s.0ther c0nsidera-
tion," for the thoroughbred mare,
Lady Reel, that being before the pres
ent boom in horses had materialized,
it was thought the Montana million
,aire was seeking an avenue for dis
peDsing a small slice of his rapidly
accumulating fortune, but when on
October /, at a New York sale arena,
this mare and two Of her tillies- one
Of them foal brought s5a 900, it was
discovered his estate was richer BY q
good round profit. In this connection
it will be borne in mind that while
the impress Of the dam is seen In only
one offspring in the season that Of the
sire extends to the product Of the en-
tire herd or of the community where
he is kept.
Next in importance to the selection
Of foundation stock is the care Of f0als.
Those who:are kept ON the farm and
occasionally turned out In the pasture
or paddock: will be apt to become
blemished by contact with barbed
wire unless great precaution is taken
to avoid it. II fresh deep furr0w is
maintained 0nseither side Of the fence
and the wires kept we'll frightened the
danger from this source will be great
" minimized. The attention of the
colt running at play will be attracted
by the furrow, for it is the nature of
all animals to look where they are
about to step, and thus contact with
the wire will be avoided. On the
farm the matter Of training the fOal
to eat grain will need little or no at
tention, for it WILSON learn to square
around to the dams feed box at meal
time. But on the ranch the foal
should begin to get little grain at
least month before weanign time,
which should beat about four months,
or before or at the failure OF the grass
to supply full flow Of milk from the
dam. No better investment lcan be
made by the farmer or ranchman than
to ''keep up" feed and halter break
the weanlings during the whole of
their first winter. 1t is much less
trouble to teach them the use of the
halter at that time, and the lesson
will never be forgotten, and the extra
growth they will make will more than
pay for the trouble and expense.
Colts thus cared for the first year Of
their existence will need no further
attention until 1t is time to ut them
for use, other than to be provided
with an open shed where they may
seek shelter in case Of !, storm.
H0rses thus reared are bound to pos
sess strong constitutions II they are
the offspring Of sound ancestry.
