The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1903-10-31

The Mandan Pioneer readers will
miss the interesting letters each
week by the editor during his re-
cent vacation. We are not able to
take such a vacation, but one of
those neutrality-suspicious. of the
places visited was just as good as
though we had taken the journey.
Editor futile, of the Pioneer,
got home in time to attend the IT.
rigation convention, and his smil-
ing countenance was see on every
hand. And the Eat or near" ques-
ton was for the time forgotten.
The Fargo Forum says "why
shouldn't North Dakota be pros
porous with her farmers selling
products amounting to $1O0,0OO,0W
per annum?"
The irrigation matter seems to
have taken all the space in the
county exchanges the past week.
The subject is agood one and plenty
of space should be devoted to the
question.

BLACkLEG SPREADS,
The State Veterinarian of Mi

The State Veterinarian of Mis-
souri, says
cit is often very difficult to tell
how blackleg gets introduced into
certain neighborhoods. It often
breaks out in a county where moth
ing of the kind has ever been heard
of before and where the manner of
it's Introduction is not apparent.
Yet it is known that the disease
never breaks out anywhere unless
by some means the germs have
been introduced there. Let us OBJ
serve that the disease is due to a
very small germ, the swelling which
it causes containing millions OF
them. Although these germs do
not thrive in the presence of the
oxygen of the air, they have sufi-
Gent vitality to live in the form Of
spores for an indefinite period on
pastures or any grounds that once
become contaminated with them.
AS a rule, the hide is taken from
the carcass Of the calf that dies
from blackleg and sold, and the
carcass left lying around the farm.
Hog, dogs, buzzards, etc., eat of
the carcass and spread pieces of
it over thu country, and in so do
ing spread the germs of the dis
ease. Taking these facts into con-
sideration it is really strange that
there is so little blackleg instead
of so much. Once scattered over
the surface of the ground, the
germs r washed into the streams
and carried long distances, and
during overaows are spread over
low grounds. When the carcasses
are left lying on the surfaces of
the ground the germs have a chance
to become generally distributed.

VICTIM OF ASSASSIN.

Armenian RevoIutionist Murdered by
Man, Apparently a Foreigner.
London, Oct. 29.-Segetel Sagoun1.
president of the Armenian Revolution
airy society in London, was murdered
in the suburb of Nunhead. The crime
has created a sensation, as it has
every appearance of being of a polltl-
cal character, and has been preceded
by the assassination of other aetclals
Of branches of the same society on
the continent. Sagouni, who returned
to London only Sunday after settling
up the affairs of an associate in switz-
erland who was recently assassinated
by stabbing, was entering his resi-
dence, when a man rushed across the
road and fired four shots at Sagoun1
in quick succession, the last bullet en-
tering the region of the heart. The
murderer, who appeared to be a for
eigner, fled. The only clues to the
man in possession OF the authorities
are a felt hat and a silvcr-plated re-
volver, both made in New York, which
he dropped in his flight.

MAN HAS BAD CRIMINAL RECORD

Guanajuato, Mex, Oct. 20. Great
excitement was caused here yesterday
by what looked like an attempt on the
life of President DiaZ, who was a
guest Of the state government during
the festivities here. the president,
his staff and guests, were passing by
the Oantador garden in a street car
when a man of the lower class by the
name of Elias Toscano approached the
a shouting and fired five shots from
a revolver at the car, fortunately do
ing no harm. Paklo Escanodon, of
the presidents staff, rushed out of the
car and
Caught the Man,
wrenching the revolver from his
grasp. The police took Tascano to
prison. He is a man with a bad Grim
inal record and vas but recently re-
leased from prison at Granditas,
where he had served a term for homi-
eide. The matter will he investigated.
One theory is that the man was drunk
and another that he deliberately
planned to shoot the chief magistrate.
The president remained perfectly
cool and was acclaimed by the crowd
of citizens, showing their Joy at his
escape.
Toscano's evil record makes the
theory of a deliberate attempt at as
sassination appear probable.
The president has received the fe-
~licitation of citizens and diplomatic
corps here.

Cape Haitien, Haiti, Oct. 29.-The

by insurgents under Gen. Rcca. In an
interview yesterday Gen. Des Champs,
the vice president of the dominican
republic, who lsas abandoned the gov
eminent and fled to this port, said:
"The people were deceived when
Gen. Jiminez was appointed fiscal
agent of the Dominican republic in the
United States by President Gil and
his resignation agitated the public
feeling. My departure provoked the In

1t is said here that Gen. Jiminez
may arrive at any time at Monte
Christi, where he will be received by
the people.
