SEEK MOTIVE FOR DEATH.
Dolbeer Investigation Is Conducted Along
ENTIRELY New Lines.

Entirely New Lines.
New York, Oct. 31.-Five hours before
Miss Bertha NJ. Dolbeer plunged to death
from the ninth story of the Waldorf-As-
toria, on July 8 last, she purchased rail-
road tickets to San Francisco for herself
and companion, Miss Eta M. Warren.
This was proved during the taking Of
testimony of New York witnesses before
Commissioner Lee, in the effort Of rela-
tives to break Miss Dolbeer's will, which
left 81, 100000 to Miss Warren. The en-
tire line of testimony during the day led
to the belief that the relatives of Miss
Dolbeer will seek to prove that her death
was neither suicide nor accident

HELD Up BY A WOMAN :;

BUT MEN HAD NOTHING

Near Prairie du Chen.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Oct. 29.-[Spe7
cial. IA lone masked woman held up
three men in perfect bandit fashion and
searched the pockets of each one CAREFUL
ly for valuables.
The victims were three land buyers
from Illinois. and were, by reason of
their business, supposed to be carrying a
large amount of money, but, as a matter
of fact, they had nothing Of value on
their persons, and the hold-up was with
out profit to the daring perpetrator.
Cried "Hands Up!"
These men, named Woodbury., Wander
Wede. ana De Young, were on their way
to look at some property near Auburn,
ana were approaching a secluded portion
OF the road when woman, wearing a
handkerchief over her eyes to conceal her
features, suddenly stepped from thicket
with rifle raised and aimed and command
ed, Hands upI'
Three pairs Of hands went Immediately
into the air and the possessors were then
ordered to descend from the wagon in
which they were riding and lay their
worldly effects upon the ground before
them. When a jack knife and a few
pennies were the only things brought into
sight the woman, holding the rifle with
her left hand, deXtrously went through
the pockets Of the men with her right.
Brigand Disguised.
Not finding anything she said with a
look Of disgust:
You are not the party 7 am looking
for; now get hump on yourselves and
get away from here as fast as that team
can CO. The frightened land buyers
climbed back into the wagon and drove
rapidly away, not daring to look around
until they had gone some distance, when
a furtive glance revealed the bandit still
training her eve along the gun barrel in
their direction. They did not look
Iaround after that until they reached Au-

RISKY AND EXPENSIVE FARMING.

P.J. Lyons of Kidder county has
been making a trip to the Canadian
northwest and says on his return that
the country stretching west from
Winnipeg is vast prairie 80 per cent
of which is susceptible to agricultural
purposes. There are a million acres
open to settlement and another mil
lion held by speculators and railroads
awaiting the income OF people to un-
load on them at inflated prices. The
growing seasons are much shorter than
in this part of the country and the
rain fall much the same as here.
Grain BOwed at the right time is often
damaged by .rost and occasionally late
SEEDED grain is harvested. The re-
suit is very unsatisfactory to the few
settlers Of that region and the un-
certainty Of the years work makes
farming in the Northwest territories
a risky proposition. The opportunl-
ties for the poor man are much better
in this state. The settlers are few
compared to those here, where the y
are none to plenty, and the majority
are from the old country. There is
a Sprjnkling OF Americans. Mr.. Lyt ms
says: Il saw very little stock, very
little hay: the chief industry seeming
to be grain raising. The cost Of rails.
ing grain is much greater than with
US; as rule wages are higher, ma
chinery higher and horses higher
When the grain is marketed the pro.
fits are not so cumbersome that the
average farmer has to start bank tC
accom- modate his surplus coin"

CATTLE SCABlES.

Cattle scab has appeared in the
western counties Of the state to some
extent and Veterinarian Tracy says
more deaths from that cause have
been reported than from olack.leg.
In one band last spring, so head Of
cattle died with the disease. The dis
ease is caused by parasite and re-
sembles mango in dogs. The para
sites are extremely hard to kill, and
infected cattle seem to get furious
from the intense itching. The skins
become thicker, the animals listless,
and stupid and at length lie down and
die.
General dipping OF the cattle with
an antiseptic solution, in which sui.
phur is the chief component element,
is the only means Of eradicating the
disease. Smearing with sulphur and
paraffine oil affords temporary relief.
The danger of dipping at this season
is in the animals catching cold. Some
Of the western counties propose to
build dipping tanks where stock can
be dipped. Bulletin No. 40 Of the
Washington Bureau Of Animal in
dustry contains description Of disease
and best methods Of treatment.
Veterinarian Tracy says that three
years ago be assisted in the dipping
of 1000 or more head Of cattle for
scab and only three or four head were
lest. To do the work thoroughly is
the only preventative for the disease.
The cattle are wholly immersed in a
tank Of 6 feet Of the mixture and are
dipped two OF three times. The ami
mails are jumped into the bath from a
height sufficient to force them under
the surface. The older stock rise at
once and easily swim around, and
young calves do the same. The dis
ease has not spread on the east side of
the Missouri river to any extent but
has been and is bad in many parts
west of the river and in Montana.
Near Great Falls there is an infected
district and general dipping is being
done. The stock interests Of the west
ern part of the state are bound to SUI
fer If the mite is not destroyed in the
herds and no cattlemcn are going to
further invest money in the region
infected until the disease is we'll
eradicated or under control.
DR.. Tracy says good many stock
men have lost the profits OF the best
cattle years the country has had, from
the scab. The skins Of the infected
animals get hard and feel 10 the touch
like board covered with hair, where
the hair does not fall of or is not
scratched off by the tortured animals.
The hide becomes enormously thick.
The parasite attacks no other rart
animal but the skin.
