WHAT BROOKS SAYS
If New Trial Is Denied
Case Will Go UP to
Supreme Court.

Walter II. Brooks has another chance
for his liberty since this morning.
Brooks was brought into Judge Me
Clcrnan's court this morning with the cx-
pectaiion that he would be sentenced un-
der the verdict given 10y the jury which
passed on the testimony offered IA the
ease OF the state against Brooks, in which
the latter was charged with the shooting
of Emory Chcvfier.
II had been expected that a sentence
would be- given Brooks on the verdict OF
granddaughter. Attorney Morrin offered a
motion. however, 10 the effect that the
trial had been unjust and unfair and that
the verdict was not given in accordance
with the law and the evidence.
Sentence Deferred.
Judge McClcrnau received the written
motion which set ont IN detail the usual
legal reasons, accompanied by the cNccp-
tions enumerated through the testimony
given.
No time was set for passing on the mo-
ton. Permission to file exceptions was
asked and taken by the court
There was large attendance in the
courtroom when Brooks was brought III
under the custody OF Deputy Sheriff
Frank Burke. All through the trial there
was an attendance OF men and women
from Helena, where Brooks hailed from,
and the same interest was shown at the
sentence day as when the trial was first
called.
Brooks wife, Mrs. O'Rcilly and Mrs.
Johnson, principal witnesses for the state,
were not present. Mrs. Brooks later vis-
tied Brooks at the jail.
Brooks Confident.
Brooks preserved the same confident air
he has carried all through the tlial at
which his life was AT stake.
II knew they would have TO give me a
new trial" was all he said to the deputy
as he was taken from the courtroom.
wen clear him on the new trial"
smiled ono Of the attorneys for the defense
as the court announced that the motion
would be taken mp later.
One Of the most prominent men IN the
case against Brooks was Attorney Le-
Blanc who represented the brother and
other relatives Of Chcvrier. IT was big
disappointment to him when the sentence
was not passed upon Brooks.
County Attorney Brecn was represented
by his assistant Jerry Lynch.
That's just so much more money the
taxpayers will have 10 pay" said the as
sistant Of the aggressive prosecutor for the
state.
Brooks will not be tried again unless
Judge McClcrnan passes favorably on the
motion The defense announced that the
case will De taken to the supreme court.

ESTABLISHING TIMOTHY.

Some Methods of Getting 6oou
Stand on Heavy Ont stubble.
There are Il number of ways III which
heavy oat stubble land could be treat
ed so as to insure a stand of timothy,
and of these the Iowa Homestead says:
Possibly one of the best methods would
be to SOW a crop of winter wheat this
fall and seed down to timothy either
early In the fall or spring as soon
as the frost is out.
In case this plan is adopted the oat
stubble should be plowed just as soon
as possible and aftcrWard well worked
down in order to make the seed bed
firm. Should the rainfall be light dur
ing the next few weeks, it might he ad-
yisable to harrow the surface ut inter
walls of one week or ten days in order
to conserve the moisture that is al
ready in the soil. This is essential in
order to insure rapid termination after
wheat is sown. The time of seeding
will vary considerably with the lati-
tude, although the custom established
in a community will be Il sufficient
guide in this matter. If timothy Is
known to live over winter the first
year, it is better to SOW at the time of
seeding wheat, although if there is
any likelihood that it will be winter
killed it is better to delay seeding until
spring.
Another plan by which Il timothy
meadow could be established would he
TO plow the stubble this fall and pre-
pare Il seed bed thoroughly next spring,
ut which time an early oat or barley
may be seeded as a nurse crop. along
with ten or twelve pounds Of timothy
seed. The cereal crop should not he
seeded heavily. as it will he more liable
10 choke out the new seeding.
One of the essentials in getting Il
stand of any kind Of grass is TO insure
Il perfect covering Of the seed. 1t is Il
great mistake TO SOW grain with drill
and allow the timothy seed 10 he scat
tered over the surface aftcrward with
out covering this up with a harrow,
roller or some form of surface implc-
ment.
Sometimes it is possible 10 obtain a
good stand Of timothy without the use
of any nurse crop whatever, Ia this
case the soil should be plowcd This fail
so that a thorough seed bed may be
prepared early in the spring, at which
| time the timothy should be S0Wn.

Arm In Arm With n Tigress

1t is related of Sir Edward Bradford
that he once walked arm in arm, SO to
speak, with a tigress. He was out
shooting and, always a fearless sports
man, had come to close quarters with
his quarry. He fired, and either the
ball failed to take effect or but slight
ly wounded the animal. She sprang
at him and seized his left arm above
the elbow. The pain must have been
terrible, but Sir Edward kept cool,
and, realizing that it would be death
to drag his mangled arm away and al
low her to spring afresh at him, he de-
liberately walked a few agonizing
PAGES until his comrade was able to
take aim and kill the brute. Thus his
courage saved his life, though the am
putation of his arm at the shoulder
proved necessary.
