to. prevent the entire disappearance of
the American bison. erroneously called
the buffalo, must be placed to the
credit Of J. ]. Hill, who hae during the
past thirteen years. with great patti

proving that under certain conditions
the buffalo will breed in captivity. and
the stock thus bred is equal II not
superior to, it's, wild progenitors.. .~y
y It Is thirteen years ago that Mr.. Hill

Cakes farm with butfaloes, and six OF
the finest Of their kind were secured
at great expense and placed under
the care of the farm superintendent.

Of the first breeding season were far

Green regarding the murder is as fol-

years Of age and the trouble arose on
account of his wife not wanting to
live with him and insisted on stopping
among the neighbors, and only coming
home at intervals, causing her hus-
band TO be very jealous.
On Tuesday Siebert met his wife
going to the home of a neighbours and
shot her, the bullet entering the left
temple and taking downward course
coming out about half way down the
neck. The bullet was found laying on

seibert after killing his wife tried
to commit suicide by shooting him
self in the head, inhicting two wounds,
one being only flesh wound, while
the other is more serious. but later
reports state that the man will recov-

of the premises deemed that an in
quest was not necessary as Siebert
admitted that he killed his wife. .S
A warrant was issued charging
Gottlieb siebert, with murder and he
is now in charge Of the officers and is

HILL RAISES HERD OF BISON

at the, beginning of this year there
were twenty-six bu1aloes in all
North Oaks farm. 49, T. .g,yyss>%
OF these one has died and one was
destroyed, but at" the present date
two additions to the herd since thi,
loss occurred have brought the num-
Der up to twenty-six again and a
further increase this spring is looked
forward to. - A
; Mr.. Hill has not only succeeded in
breeding full-bred buffalues in captivi-
ty but has also met with remarkable
success in the interviewing of buffa-
loes with domestic cattle, and now
there exists distinct breed Of cattle
which combines all the hardihood of
the buffalo with the qualities of Gal
loway kline; and as the hardest and
most faithful Of dogs, the bull terrier,
Is Of mongrel descent, being the off,

GOLD IN klDDER COUNTY.

Prof. Willard Of the State Agricultural
College Tells Of Gold In the Soil Of
kidder County.
Prof. D. e. Willard Of the State Agri-
culture college, writes:
There is gold in the soil of Kidder
county. This after considerable travel
over the state and study of the geo.
logy of the surface formations in a
conclusion which we deem to be con-
sentative and trustworthy. There has
been a good deal of agitation about
gold finds in Kidder county of late,
and such finds have been frequently
reported in other parts of the state.
Recently samples Of sand have
been sent us for assaying, in the at.
tempt to find if any precious metals
could be determined to be present in
them. Such samples of sand and
clay-and nearly every mail brine
something from some quarter Of the
state which it is desired to have ex-
amined-are not without interest and
in fact these are often very valuable
and instructive in determining cor
rectly the geology Of the surface
formations of the state.
Reports have been received from
time to time recently from E. S.
Elliott, editor of The Kidder County
of the prospecting now going on there.
A deep shaft dug into the earth any
where is source of information which
is Of value to the science of geology,
and geology, more perhaps than any
other single science, lies at the found
alton of agriculture. Accordingly 1T
seemed desirable to visit the mining
camp at Steele, and this we did.
1.-TWO shafts are being sunk near the
limits, through the enterprise of the
energetic citizens of that. prosperous
burg. One of these had been sunk on
the day of four visit, to depth OF
sixty-six feet, and another to a depth
not quite as great but larger in diam
eter. Both are in progress of excava.
ton. ~ - IS
"The section of the earth penetrated
shows that the formations thus far en-.
countered are all of the drift or glacie
deposit character, the boundary be-
tween the later and the earlier drift
deposits being at depth of about fift,
feet. And old soil, appearing as 9
black peaty clay, marks the top oi
what seems to be the old drift. @
The old drift, it may be explained
Is that deposited by the earlier Ice
sheet Of the glacial period-the Ice
sheet that reached somewhat west o.
the present Missouri river. and It ma,
Ibe determined the present course O
that stream. The newer or more re
cent drift Is that deposited BY latel
invasion q the Ice sheet. prohabl,

after many thousands of years, and
which did not extend any farther west
than the Missouri river. and formed
the great ranges of hills known as
terminal moraines. which mark the
landscape of North Dakota and have
much to do with determining the value
of the farming lands. .u 49,.
From what has been learned from
Eorings made for water it seems prob
able that the bottom of the old drlf..
will be reached at something like forty
feet below where the deeper shaft had
penetrated at the time of our visit At
thos depth it seems altogether prob
able that a good supply Of water Of
good quality will be struck. This is
equivalent in any farming locality to
moderate gold mine.
I'VE accidentally stumbled into a
creamery meeting while calling to
shake hands with friends at the court
house. AS the meeting adjourned it
was reported that they had a goodly
sum pledged toward establishing a
creamery, and quickly the converse
ton drifted to the subject of gold, and
the prospects, Asked as to our opin-
ion whether pay dirt could be fou .
in Kidder county we answered as stat
ed at the beginning of this article that
we had very optimistic idea of the
paying qualities of Kidder county
dirt, and we were morally certain that
if they kept On with the very sensible
move to establish creamery and kept
on tilling the soil and raising stock,
that they would certainly find gold,
and that at sure-paying quantities.
Asked further whether we thought
they had better go on with the digging
in the shafts, we replied yes, by all
means, for a good supply Of good water
would probably be struck, and that is
always important and valuable in a
fertile farming district where cream
cries and stock-raising pay well.
IF there isfany gold in the raw
state buried in the earth in this part
Of the world it is likely to be found
at the bottom Of the old drift as any
where, and this might add a little to
the fun of digging. But the real
wealth of Kidder county lies in it's fer
tile soil and good water. When these
are fully used the gold which is now
locked in the rich soil will be forth
coming in checks from the creamery
and the stock buyer and the elevator
man. If any one is looking for pay
dirt he can find it in Kidder county,

+ Warden Wolfer's reason for his res
ignation at Saltwater was given as; q
purely business one, it being currently
reported that he had an advantageous
offer from manufacturing company
to become it's superintendent. 1t is
possible that he has failed to complete
the preliminaries for this position and
that Boucher's sudden determination
not to come to Minnesota is Influenced
by the fact The wardens are. close
personal friends and it was wholly
through VOTERS influence that Bouch2
er was selected to succeed him at
Saltwater. &c. '~~~. ~r.-~--,-,,.- .
The first intimation to the board of
control Of any desire to the part Of
Warden Boucher to be released from
his Saltwater assignment came in a
letter dated Feb. 20. in which he "re-
grets to announce that further and
more deliberate consideration leads
him to withdraw his acceptance and
that his reasons are family and per-
sonal business matters, and in addi-
ton his relations with the Bismarck
institution are such that they should
not be severed at this tina He hopes
that his determination not to accept
the position will not embarrass the
Minnesot& board. ....- =
The board wrote Boucher on Feb. a
accepting his withdrawal, but express
ing doubt Of the wisdom of his action.
Chairman Jacobson then wrote Wolfer,
notifying him of the unexpected de-
velopment, and asking him to recall
his resignation as warden of the
Minnesota prison. Feb. Wolfer re-
piled that he had decided to remain
in the service of the board at Still
water, believing that such course will
be for the best interest of the state"
The board has had numerous confer
ences with Warden Wolfer during the
week, and it is possible that the CORE
spondence does not fully detail all that
has taken place.

BOUCHER IS TO REMAIN
Warden Boucher Withdraws His Acceptance
Of the Saltwater Prison Wardenship
and Remains in North Dakota.

81. Paul Globe: Henry Wolfer will
remain as warden Of the Minnesota
prison at Saltwater. His resignation was
offered to and accepted by the board
of control three weeks ago, and N. r.
Boucher, warden of the North Dakota
penitentiary, was elected to succeed
him. Yesterday the announcement
was made at the state capitol that
Boucher had withdrawn his accept
ance 81 the Minnesota position and
that VOTER had recalled his resigna-
ton. ,,E$S tt T ~ ID IF
The new development came as a
complete surprise to everybody at the
capitol. and It is doubtful II any one
outside Of the inner circle Of the board
Of control Office had the faintest ink
ling Of its coming. -..-.
In his letter Of withdrawal, Boucher
says that family and personal business
relations and his relations with the
North Dakota institution are such that
they should not be severed at this
time. Wolfer says that he recalls his
resignation in the best interest Of the
state. ~
: One of the men close to the board Of
control volunteers the suggestion that
the development is due to determine
ton on the part of the North Dakota
prison board to retain Boucher at the
head of the Bismarck Institution. The
salary offered by Minnesota is $4,000
per year, which is $1,000 in excess of
that paid by North Dakota, and the
only difference in the way Of main
tenance is that the Minnesota warden
Is required to supply his residence
with furniture, while the North Dakota
board provides everything for its
warden, who lives inside the prison
walls.
1t is believed that the North Dakota
board has decided to increase the sal
airy of the warden at Bismarck to ap-
proximately the same as paid at Still
water, and in view Of this fact Boucher
has decided to remain at North Dako-
to, where he has made his home and
