Try Planting SDeltz.

f. G. Parker living south of town
last season made an experimental tes,
of the new grain known as speltz. He
secured the seed from Minnesota, which
cost him 81 80 bushel, and two bush
els sowed one acre. From this ground
he raised 62la bushels, thus getting &
profitable crop from one acre of ground
Mr.. Parker planted ten acres this fal
and has every prospect of another good
crop. Speltz resembles barley, and hal
a stalk like wheat which cattle relish al
much as hay. 1t can be planted il
either fall or spring. If planted in th'
fall it makes fine winter pasture fol
cattle. 1t withstands the drouth, ant
farmers may find speltz profitable

WESTERN DESPERATE.

Reported Death of doc" Middleton Re-
calls Incidents of His Life.
The following. interesting account of
an early day Nebraska desperate is con-
tanned in a special from Edgemont,
S. D.:
The report circulated in ,some of the
Black Hills papers of the death of doc"
Middleton, one of the best known old
time desperadoes, who resides at Ard
more, south of this city, is without
foundation. Middleton, is very much
alive. He now keeps saloon at Ard.
more and is living a peaceful life. Mid
dleton will soon celebrate the tenth an
niversary of his "peaceable" life. He
has not carried weapon of any kind
for ten years, for he knows that his
temper is not to be trusted and he
stands in fear of himself.
David G. Middleton was at one time
the captain of one of the most terroriz-
ng band of desperadoes that ever in.
tested a western country. In the early
eighties his hold-ups of stage coaches and
his horse stealing kept the entire west
ern part of Nebraska in a constant state
of excitement. His daring deeds have
been the foundation for hundreds of
sensational western novels. Middleton
served sentences in different peniten-
tiaries for various crimes committed
and was at last pardoned. His health
was broken down on account of his ex-
posure and wounds received in his con-
flicts, and after his pardon he settled
down at Ardmore in the saloon business.
He has family, and is said to be de.
voted to his wife and children.
Doc Middleton came to Ogallala, Neb.,
in 1876. His first violent deed was done
in saloon in that city, when he shot
and killed soldier. The soldier at.
tempted to stamp the life out of Middle
ton, and when fiat on his back on the
saloon floor Middleton drew his reyolve,
and shot the soldier dead. Middleton
fed for his life, and successfully evaded
the most vigilant efforts to catch him.
Had he given himself up and stood trial
he would have been acquitted, for ii
was undoubtedly in self defense that he
killed the soldier. With the feeling OF
an outcast he avoided civilization of any
sort, and it was not long before he had
organized the famous Doc Middleton
gang, which was the terror Of good peo
pie for several years. 1t is believed
that Middleton's orders were always tc
spare life. AS horse or cattle sJealel
his gang was notorious, Middleton il
in poor health at present, although q
comparatively young man.

BUSINESS CHANGE.
q. E. Moore, Formerly OF Narka, Kansas,
Purchases tho Hardware business
of u. u. Unmstrcet.

From Tuesdays Daily.
A deal has been consummated
whereby G.. Il. Moore, who came here
last October from Narka, Kansas,
comes into possession of the hardware
business conducted for about four years
by o. d. lIamstreet in tho Eiscley
block. Mr.. Moore has taken possession
and hopes to move the stock, about the
first of February, into the Robertson
block, lately occupied by the Fisher
hardware stock. MIR. Moore hopes to
retain the services of Mr.. Hamstreet,
who, during his residence in Norfolk,
has gained host of friends among the
people of the city and vicinity.
Although Mr.. Moore has never before
been engaged in the hardware business
he has a wide business experience and
capacity, which, with his pleasing per-
sonality, augurs we'll for his success in
his present undertaking. At Narka he
was engaged in the banking business
and had a large number of friends won
by honest and conservative business
methods.
For more than six years before going
to Narka he was resident of Filley,
this state, and was cashier of the Filley
bank There also he had host of
friends who regretted his removal from
that town exceedingly. He was prom
inent worker in Christian organizations
there and left behind him a reputation
for public enterprise.
While laboring under the disadvant.
ages of his location, Mr.. Hamstreet has
built up very good trade and there are
many who will regret to see him retire
from the business and will be Fpleased
that he has consented to remain, with
Mr.. Moore for All indefinite period
The new proprietor will undoubtedly
be given cordial reception to Norfolk
business circles with the wish that his
venture may prove profitable to him as
well as the citizens generally.

Marshal Of Springwells Has a
Lively Time With TrampS.
THEY USED A GUN ON HIM
They Were Holding Up People Right
and Left When Marshal Appeared
on the Scene-Three of Them Land
ed in Jail and One Escaped.

Detroit, Oct. 2S.-John Harrington,
marshal Of Woodmere and constable
OF Springwells township, had a terrific
fight Saturday night about II o'clock
with four tramps, and after hard
struggle succeeded in landing three Of
them in Jail. During the melee the
man who escaped shot Harrington
through the left hand, the ball going
through the fleshy part, nnIcting a
painful but not dangerous wound
Word was brought to Harrington
shortly before midnight that the gang
was on the Nj. G. II. tracks holding up
everybody who came along and max
ing trouble generally.
Harrington, who is not afraid or
anything mat lives, went over and
found the four men in box car. lie
ordered them out ana all four jumped
on him, knocking him down. He got
TO his feet again and attempted to pull
his gun, but was again knocked down
by the gang. This was repeated sew
eral times as fast as Harrington
would get up and for few moments
it looked as though the gang would kill
him, but he finally got his gun from
his pocket and called on the gang to
surrender. The answer he got was a
shot from one of them, who immedi-
ately broke and ran. Though covered
with blood and weak from the beating
and the effect of the shot through the
hand, Harrington managed to land the
rest of the gang safely.
They were taken TO the county Jail,
where they gave their names as Chas.
Miser, Wade Baschon and William
Duffy. They will have their eXamina-
tion before Judge Beatcher today. An
effort was made to locate the man who
did the shooting, but it was unsuccess-
full.

Among the MAGAZINES.

Doubleday, Page & Co. announce that
their magazine, Country Life in Ameri-
ca, has found welcome of unexpected
proportions and enthusiasm. The pub
lished announcement has led to orders
for more than the first edition and of adj
vance subscriptions from would-be read
ers in unexpected numbers. One promi-
nent gentleman in New York so approved
of the idea as told of in a newspaper that
he sent ID subscriptions for himself and
friends weeks before he could possibly
receive the first issue. Not only does
the idea of Country Life in America APP
peal to all who love the country, but the
name of the editor, Il. II. Bailey of Cor
nell, gives solid assurance that the mag
azine will he popular, interesting, beauti-
full and of high standard. Certainly, no
more superbly illustrated magazine has
ever been printed.
