WILL REPORT ON IR-
RIGATION.
Prof. F. A. Wilder of the State
Geological Survey Will Soon
Make a Report to the Depart
ment.
Finds Several Hundred Thousand
Acres of Irrigable Land Along
the Valley of the Missouri
River.

When his report is filed with the gov
eminent, it is believed the government
will make tests of his irrigation plan. An
abundance of Ignite coal is also reported
along the river, which will solve the
question of furnishing power for pump
ing purposes. 1t is probable that the
first tests of irrigation in North Dakota
will be made along the Missouri river at
some point recommended by Prof. Wild
er. Water is obtainable from wells at a
slight depth.
The government will also establish
water guages at the mouths of the Knife
and the Cannonball rivers to measure
the flow of water and will then have &C
curate data from which to work.
Another party OF geological surveyors
is at work along the Knife river, having
come down the Little Missouri from
Medora to the confluence of the Little
Missouri and Missouri river.

RANCH TALK.

The Richards Cate Co. are booked for
a 10 car shipment at Williston on the 20.
There is quite a run of Montana cattle
booked for this week and next.
Supt. Clark that the Little
Missouri Horse Co. round up wagon will
start out on a general round up OF horses
on Aug. 10.
Feed is reported as being very good
on the range north, but the most OF the
ranchers say that the beef shipment will
be late.
At Medora a cattle shipment is or
dered for the 9th. l. Nollett and H.
Hunley will be among the shippers.
At Taylor L. D. Dohrmann & Sons
made a shipment of 4 cars OF cattle on
Friday and T. H. Myran $ cars. On
the I4th Bruvold Bros, at Hebron, are
booked for E cars and Billy Bruvold for
z cars.
E. Deffebach wal pleased Tuesday
night when he got a telegram from Clay
Robinson & Co. announcing that the w.
B. Howe Wethers had sold at s3.85, the
Gibbs. Griswold wethers at s3.75 and old
ewes at S3.4o. This will make the Howe
sheep net around $40.
Cattle shipments at this point are ap
parently going to be much later than
usual. Stockmen usually book a month
or so ahead and up to the first of this
week there had been no bookings for cat
| tie. On the 9Th Redmond Zimmerman
loaded - cars of fat wethers for Chicago,
| and Mr.. Goodale had 2 cars ordered for
the 18th. At Mandan quite a shipment
| Of cattle is booked for the 2Ist. Around
Dickinson the cattle are generally re-
ported as being good this season but the
shipments to market will commence
late.
The beef market is fully IS per cent
cheaper today than it wa a year ago
which fact has caused a big depreciation
in the values of stock cattle during the
steer that sold for e35 early In the spring
and a Minnesota steer Of the same age
sell now for about s22. The stockmen
who bought on the high market Of last
year are in the same boat and those who
this fall will find, after Strengthening up
their bank accounts, that their profits arc
small. The men who will really come
out ahead this year are those who have
been breeding their wi cattle or who
have only bought stockers when they
could be had on a basis of a fourteen,
beef market. There is a good profit in
four.eent beef, and it is not likely thai
any good beef cattle will be sold at
less price this season and some of the
top grass stuff may bring a nickle. The
rain Of the past week will help the hay
crop and will freshen up the feed so tha'
beet cattle will not need to be shipped
until they are in prime condition.

TIE development within the last
few weeks in the investigation of
the postoffce scandal point to the
certain punishment of at least
some of the offenders. Charles
Hedges, superintendent OF free
delivery in the cities, who had
been the confdant of Machen,
now under Indictment, has been
discharged for classifying his diary
and loaning his travelling commits
sion. 1t is interesting to notice
that he charges that his private
secretary used his p~ostofice COM
mission with the knowledge of
Supt. Machen and First Assistsnt
Postmaster Johnson. It is to be
hoped that the bottom has at last
been reached in the investigation.

Was It Murder?

On July II John T. Heisler shot A. c.
Hinkley in the left hand. The affair took
place near the Nollet ranch where Hink.
ley was employed. Heisler claims that
he did the shooting in self defense but
there are those who think it was intend
ed murder. Mrs. Hinkley seems to be
mixed up in the matter some way, and
States Attorney Simpson is conducting
a careful examination. The hearing was
begun before Justice J. A.. McGregor
on Monday but was continued until the
10th in order to give opportunity for get
ting important witnesses. The plaintiff
is under $4,000 bonds.
DR.. Perkins was called to Sentinel
Butte on Monday to assist DR.. Seigfriedt
in the amputation of Mr.. Hinkley's arm
made necessary by the bullet wound.

Cur SwEETHEART's THRoAT.-For-
est McCord, a barber, aged "a years
living at Bournville, Ohio, yesterday
killed Charity Storts, aged 20 years, by
cutting her throat from ear to ear with a
razor. after which he cut his own throat
in like manner. The deed was done
at the girls home, near South Salem.
McCord and number of companions
were drinking heavily Sunday, and he
struck one Of them with beer bottle.
A warrant was issued for his arrest.
He left his home Immediately for the
Storts home, eight miles distant, and
found the young girl al1ne. Her
mother was in an upstairs room. He
remained with Miss Storts for about an
hour. when her screams brought the
mother to the stairway, and she saw her
daughter in McCord's arms, covered
with blood and her head almost severed
from her body. She rushed down stairs,
but before she reached the first floor Nc
Cord dropped the girl and drew the
razor across his own throat and fell to
the floor McCOrd and Miss Stots had
been sweethearts for several years. 1t
is supposed that McCord, fearing arrest,
was filled with remorse and went to the
Storts home and committed the deed.

fred two shots from revolver at him,
at the same time calling him by name.
Both shots missed, and the woman was
about to fire a third time when M. FIRE.
vost disarmed her. She was taken tenn
pOrarily into custody, and explained
that she had known NJ. Provost in Lon
don souetime ago. His avoidance Of
her since that time had prompted her to
seek to avenge herself, but she did not
intend to kill the novelist. NJ. Provost
refused to follow up the matter, and
Mile Touret was set at liberty. 1t Is
stated that the woman's brother yainly
tried to force duel on NJ. Provost.

A SAD SToRY.-Mrs. Elizabeth Rob
inson, a widow, 40 years old, committed
suicide sometime yesterday in New York
by shooting herself in the right temple.
The loss of fortune of 800, 900 is sup
posed to have been the cause. Nine
years ago Mr.. Robinson died, leaving
her 800, 900. Since that time she has
frequently dabbled in stocks, it is said,
and lost the entire amount. She had
been in such dire straits recently, it is
said, that she was compelled to mortgage
her furniture and promised to pay back
$40 a week of the sum borrowed. She
found that she was unable to make the
regular payments promised. A friend
of the family, John Quinn, has been
caring for Mrs. Robinson as much as
possible since he knew of her financial
difficulties. Recently Mrs. Robinson
had told him that it would be necessary
for her to get position in order to sup
port herself. In one of the papers yes
terday Quinn saw an advertisement for a
lady cashier, which he thought Mrs.
Robinson might answer. He went to
her apartment to tell her about it. After
knocking for sometime on her door and
receiving no response, he rang tie bell
Of Mrs. Gertrude Horwitz, across the
hall. Quinn told Mrs. HOrwitz that he
suspected something was wrong, and re-
quested permission to 60 along the fire
escape and look through the windows.
He went along the fire escape TO the
kitchen, and finding the window open,
stepped into the apartment. He walked
through to the bedroom and found Mrs.
Robinson in bed, dressed in a nightrobe,
dead. She had shot herself in the right
temple.
