Farmers are getting owe the idea
that farm papers are edited by some
mar sitting up in an office in the city,
trying to tell them how to make farm
ing pay and that the articles are writ
ten by theorists and dreamers, who
know nothing of the needs of practical
farming. That may have been the
case some years ago, but with a mod
ern farm magazine like the Twentieth
Century Farmer the editor IS closely
in touch with all of the questions that
come up regarding how to make farm
ing pay better. The articles in this
paper are by ~pratical men and the
farmers who are reading what they
say find that it pays to keep posted
on the progress that is being made in
their own line of work. No doctor
would think of practicing medicine
without taking several medical jour
mails, neither can a farmer keep up
with progress in farming unless he
takes a magazine like The Twentieth
Century Farmer. For example some
of the contributors whose articles will
appear during the next few issues are:
F. ID. Coburn, secretary Kansas State
Board of Agriculture: Prof. G.. f.
Curtiss, Iowa Agricultural college,:
b. O. Aylesworth, president Colorado
Agricultural college: Colonel f. NJ.
Woods, the noted live stock auction
eer: Charles E. Bessy, the great bot
anist: John Costing, the noted beef
expert: Friedrich w. Taylor, director
of agriculture at St. Louis Worlds
fair, and many other we'll known men,
whose ideas are worth dollars to every
progressive farmer and stock raiser.

Whatever the u the result seems
to give general satisfaction. Mr..

Mrs. Willard Dillman. who has been
here for the past week or two visit
ing friends and relatives and prepar-
ing her household goods for shipment,
left Monday morning for her new
home at Excelsior, MINI.
Considerable excitement was raised
here last Monday night by the report
that a man was lost in the nov
drifts southwest of here. 1t appears
that two men, George Scott and Mr..
Bulls of Portland township, came
into town Monday and proceeded to
hit the booze shops for all they were
worth. Along toward night they
concluded they had a suffic:entjag on,
and they started for home. When
about two miles out in the country
their sled broke down. They prompt
ly unhitched the horses and started
to ride them back to town. Mr..
Bulls arrived here alright, as did the
horse which Scott was to have rode
in on, but there was no Scott to be
found. A searching party was at
once organized to search for Scott.
and though they hunted nearly all
night, they could find no trace of him.
The next morning Scott showed up,
He said that he was thrown from the
horse. and that after wandering
around in the dark he finally got
shelter in a farmhouse.

INDIAN LOSES HIS HEAD
Job of Medicine Man Equal to Death
 Warrant

Redding-Louis Thomas, an Indian medicine man, met terrible death at the hands of his own people near Burney Valley this county. Thomas had been treating a sick woman near Burney. She continued to grow worse, and, fearing she would die if the medicine man was not sacrificed, it is believed his Indian companions mur- dered him.
 Last night Thomas was one of a large number of Indians who partici- pated in dance at Indian rendezvous, about three miles from Litterels, near Burney. The Indians are of the Hat Creek tribe, extremely superstitious and still adhering to the ancient traditions of their ancestors. The dance broke up about midnight and the Indians left for their various homes.
 About 1 o'clock six shots and pierc- ing shrieks of Indians were heard by Burney Valley folks. Several of the residents arose and proceeded to in- vestigate. They found Thomas's body perforated with bullets, lying in a path about half mile from town. The head had been severed and kicked several yards away. Not red man was about. Nearly twenty feet from where the body lay were found several empty 44-caliber cartridges, and a bloody knife that had been used. On Tuesday the District Attorney and Coroner went to Burney to investigate. It was at this spot, that, two years ago, Shavehead Bob killed Indian Mike, for like reasons, and two years before that Pete, another medicine man was killed and his head kicked through town.

story and basement brick building on the outskirts of Chinatown on l. street, corner of an alley between Twenty first and Twenty second streets used by the Chinese members of the Sui Ong Tong, or Chinese Free Masons, partly as a lodging house, partly as an opium den and partly as joss house. Here Mckinney had been secreted for two or thvee days. His partner and companion was Al Hulse, an ex-convict, who, being member of the Chinese Masons, was enabled to enlist the aid and sympathy of the Orientals in harboring the outlaw.
 As result of the battle Jim Me Kinney's body lies in the morgue, his head and face shattered by charge of buckshot from gun in the hands of Bert Tibbett.
 Deputy Sheriff William E. Tibbett, brother of Bert Tibbett, whose shot ended the outlaws career, lies cold in death at his home in the southern addition of Bakersfield.
 City Marshal Packard is grieviously wounded from rife ball through his neck and his arms:shat tered by charge of buckshot. His condition is very serious and his physicians consider his recovery doubtful.
 Al Hulse is in the county jail. The feeling runs very high against him here, as the evidence all goes to show that he is the man whose bullet killed Deputy Sheriff Tibbett, as it was done by rife bullet and Mckinney was armed with shotgun. Bert Tibbett declared his intention of killing Hulse on sight and but for the prompt action of Sheriff Kelly in landing the fellow behind the bars before the brother of the murdered man, who had already finished McKinney's career, knew of his whereabouts, might have done so The murdered officer was popular man, lifelong resident of Bakersfield and member of prominent pioneer family.

THEY SAW A SEA SERPENT
Astounding Tale Told by White Men
 and Indians in British Columbia

Victoria, B. C.-Oficials of the cable station at Bamfield creek are sponsors for story that sea serpent from forty to sixty feet long, with a head like horse, has been seen off the station. The cable operators say, in letters to the local newspapers, that Indians have been telling of the existence of sea serpent but the stories were not credited. David Os- borne, one of the officials, says that a week ago the animal was seen from the cable station to raise big horse, like head and swim out of the mouth of the Bamfeld creek into Barley sound.
 MT. Godson, of the cable staff, says when he first saw the animal it looked like massive sea weed, but presently he saw the head elevated, and the big serpent moved off toward the sea. MT. Godson says it moved with the speed of torpedo boat. On April 10 an Indian saw the thing and was so frightened that he ran his canoe into the breakers, left it and fled along the beach to the cable station. The In dian said the thing had head shaped like horse and it's body, ten feet of which was lifted, was the size of barrel. The Indians in the neighbor- hood are terrified.

THREATENED GUATEMALA
Action Taken by Europ :an Powers to
 Enforce Payment of Claims

Washington-An interesting account of the action taken by certain of the foreign powers in the matter of claims against Guatemala is given in com munication written by James C.. Bailey, charge for the United States at Guatemala City, which appears in the forthcoming volume of Foreign Relations of the United States"
 Mr. Bailey says: "Very reliable information discloses the fact that collective coercive pressure was re- sorted to by the respective diplomatic representatives here of England, France, Germany and Belgium in or der to bring about payment of their claims. It appears that they had as a body notified this government (Guate- mala) that if arrangements were not made to satisfy their respective credi- tors on specific date man. of war would take possession of the port of Guatemala.

FIGHTING IN MINDANAO

Manila-The band which seized Surigoa, Island of Mindanao, March g, is practically dispersed. The troops and constabularly hurled the men into the Lake Manit country and defeated them five times, killing twenty and wounding many others. Most of the arms stolen at Surigoa were recovered.
 The disorder which recently broke out in the province of Misamis, Is- land of Mindanao, is spreading. The civil authorities have appealed for military assistance. People are leav- ing the towns and going to the noun tains, and many are proclaiming themselves rebels. The troops have encountered and dispersed band of 400, wounding thirteen men.
 The government is planning to in crease the military force at Misamis and inaugurate campaign. The in surgents have few arms, but the movement is not serious.
