FOR THE FARMER.
LIGHT FROSTS ARE GENERAL
Not Sufficiently Heavy to Damage
Either Fruits or Vegetables
Where Reported.

Cold nights and drying winds were
the principal adverse features of the
weather conditions the past week,
says Section Director r. F. Young in
his weekly crop bulletin, issued last
Tuesday. Frosts occurred in all, ex.
cept the most favored localities, but
they were too light in the principal
vegetable and fruit growing sections
to do serious damage. The rains and
SHOWS were local in character, and
there were a number of reports indi-
eating that ranges in certain locali-
ties are in need of moisture.
Wheat is all sown, oats sowing is
still in progress in a few counties;
much potato planting remains to be
done and very little corn has been
planted. Winter wheat is making Wig
orous growth, and early spring wheat
and oats promise to be a good stand.
Ranges have improved, except in a
few localities, where there is a ten
dency to drought. Cattle are improv-
ing in condition, but the gain appears
to be slow as a rule. The season has
been exceptionally favorable for
calves and lambs.
Reported by Correspondents.
Following are extracts from reports
by correspondents in different coun.
ties:
Observation-Disclosures: High cold
winds have caused the grass to nearly
stand still the past week. Dillon:
Grain mostly all in, some up; alfalfa
growing and looking we'll.
Broad water-Glenwood: Cool and
dry, light frosts; early wheat up and
doing we'll; oats being sown and pota-
toes planted; lambing in progress.
Winston: Good shower on 18th; grass
growing finely.
Carbon-Joliet: Crops coming up,
grass looking fine; weather favorable,
but more rain desirable.
Cascade-Evans: Crops are doing
fne; grass is good; wheat and oats
are coming up well. Hardy: Crops
all in but too cold to start them except
grass, which is doing fairly well.

Gallatin-Sexton: The rains have
improved grass and fall grain; nights
too cool for gardens and potatoes,
Bohemian: Farming has progressed
rapidly this week; winter wheat looks
we'll; grass growing very fast.
Jefferson-Whitehall Crops nearly
all in but too dry to come up or grow;
trees in leaf, apple blossoms ready
to open. Wickes: Week very cold;
driving snowstorm on 18th.

not as good as two weeks ago. Full
ton: Crops all in except potatoes;
grain up in many places.
Madison-Spanish: Range good;
blowing and seeding in full blast.
Pu~llersprings: Seeding all completed;
ground dry, weather cold. Pageville:

oats sowing not done yet. Norris:
Ground drier than l ever saw it this
time of year.

Some of the deposed conductors were
not satisfied with the explanation and
went to headquarters at St. Paul and
demanded interviews with the general
superintendent. Here they we're in
formed that the bonding company had
nothing to do with their dismissal,
but that through the testimony OF
hired detectives, or "spotters," the
superintendent had become convinced
that the conductors had been making
a practice of collecting fares without
making returns to the company. Be-
yond the alleged possession of proof
of this kind nothing "a told the men
and the superintendent refused to ex-
hibit the proof or enable them to make
denial of the charge, or ven permit
them to make a statement Of any sort
Most of the men who lost their jobs
deny the charge of knocking down"
and the o. r. c. has taken up the
matter. The superintendent is to be
asked to furnish documentary evil
dence against each of the discharged
men, and if this is not Forthcoming
trouble is to be expected, unless those
men to whom evidence was denied are
reinstated. If both demands are re-
fused a general strike on the entire
system is said to be in order.

ONE OF PROBABLE SAFE ROB.
BEERS APPREHENDED.
CAUGHT At NILES CITY
Swallows Valuable Diamond When
Officers Place Him in Custody
In Jail Here.

Edward Buckley is in the county
Jail on| suspicion of being one Of the
men who robbed the safes OF the
Billings brewery and the steam laun-
dry aalst~ Sunday night. He was ar
rested art Miles City Wednesday and
was brought back last night by Po-
liceman Mowre, whom Sheriff Hnb-
bard %deputized for the occasion.
Wednesday morning Buckley ap-
peared at a saloon conducted by EN-
NETT Williamson, formerly of Billings,
and offered a large diamond for sale.
He said the stone was worth at least
$3.50, but ne would sell lit for $40. The
bartender, whom Buckley approached,
suspected something and told the man
ITO call around later in the day, as the
fellow claimed he did not have the
diamond with him just then. AS soon
as the stranger was gone the barten.
der went i'm search of the chief of
police and told him of the engage.
ment he mad made.
In the afternoon Buckley returned
and showed the stone. Williamson
was in the saloon an dexhibited a
couple of eagle claws that he said
he thought some of having made into
a badge, using diamonds for setting.
Buckley was free in offering sugges-
tions as to how the badge should be
made and in company with Williamson
went to a jewelers. shop. There
Buckley outlined a design Tor a badge
exactly like that stolen from the
brewery safe, knowledge of which
Williamson had, as he had seer the
badge, it belonging to a friend of his.
Swallows a Diamond.
On one preteNt OF another William
son put off buying the stone and
Buckley said he would return at night
and try ito do business with the bar
tender. He did so and while exhibit
ing the stone a couple Of policemen
and a deputy sheriff remained outside
where they could observe all that was
going ON. While Buckley still had
the stone in his hand the officers
rushed into the room and grabbed
him. Buckley, however, was too quick
for them ana like a flash he swallowed
the gem. He was thrown to the floor
from his ear in a am ~endeavor to
force him to cough up the diamond.
Next he was taken to the Jail and
attempt was made to compel him to
take an emetic. This he refused to do
and a doctor was sent for, who gave
him a hypodermic injection of ipecac
and in a short time Buckley was turn.
ing himself inside out, but the dia-
mond was not among the debris he
threw up. Careful watch was kept
on him all THE time, but the stone
had not been found when Mowre ar
rived to take charge of the prisoner.
Admits crookedness.
The man, after he had swallowed
the diamond, admitted that he had
! made a bad break" and also acknowl.
edged that there was 'fsomething
crooked, but not i'm Billings" Further
than this he refused to say and de.
clined to give amy name until after
his arrival here, when ito Jailer Hard.
ing he said his name Vas Edward
Buckley.
1t lis said that Buckley had a com.
panion when first seen at Miles City,
but he apparently kept out of sight
during the time the prisoner was at
tempting to dispose of THE stone.

GENERAL STRIKE PROBABLE.
Great Northern Has Trouble With IT.
Conductors.

Information received here yester-
day would make it appear that in addi-
tion to the trouble the law and courts
are making for him, Jim" Hill is
likely to have a strike of generous
proportions on his Great Northern
railroad. A wholesale discharge OF
conductors is the cause attributed for
the threatened walkout.
Twenty-one ticket mutilators were
discharged recently without a mo-
ment's notice. When relieved from
duty they were told that the bonding
company had cancelled their bonds.

ROB TRAIN
Held Up Only Twenty Miles From
the City of Chicago.
Load of st. Louis .Excursfonists Are
Boldly Robbed by Five Masked
Men-One Victim lie Shot

Chicago, 1ll.-Five masked men held
up an Illinois Central train within
twenty-five miles of Chicago and lined
up the passengers in the Pullman
cars with pistols pointing at them and
searched them for valuables.
The train that was held up was a
special bound for st. Louis, filled with
excursionists going to the Worlds
Fair.
The robbers boarded the train be-
tween FlossmOre ard Matteson, and
with drawn revolvers climbed into
cab and ordered the engineer to stop.
The engineer brought the train to q
standstill at a lonely place near some
woods, and the conductor and brake
man, who ran forward to find out the
cause of the train stopping, were also
ordered to throw up their hands and
were searched for weapons.
After the engineer, fireman and the
trainmen had handed oyer what mon
ey they had they were marched back
to the baggage ear. The robbers were
disappointed at finding that they had
AAClo ny I1olu W1lAOuN an CApLCoo
car, but determined to make the best
Of the job by robbing the passengers
of whatever money and yaluables they
might possess.
The passengers were ordered to
march out of the ears and line up be-
side the train. Women and children,
terrified at the appearance of the
masked men, screamed and tried to
hide under the seats. The robbers,
however, made a careful search of the
cars and were sure they had all the
passengers under the muzzles of their
revolvers before they began to rob
them. All had to hold up their hands.
A man who was n of the last to
leave the train, struggled against a
robber who was holding him, when he
vas dragged from the platform. One
of the masked men drew back and in
full sight of the passengers fired di-
rectly at the mans breast and he fell
to the ground dangerously wounded.
That's what the next man will get
that acts that way" said g man who
seemed to be leader of the gang
After the robbers had secured all
the booty they could find, they backed
off to the woods and escaped.
The train proceeded to Kankakee,
sixty miles distant, under full steam,
and at that station Superintendent
Gross, who was on board, left the
sleeper and notified Chief of Detectives
O'Keefe of the road, of the robbery.
At Ito o'clock q special train with
police officers and employees of the Ill
inois Central left for the scene of the
robbery to hunt down the robbers who,
it was believed, were either hiding in
the marshes near Madison or had dou-
bled and were working back toward
Chicago.
