pared with the aggregate labor and
loss incurred in irrigating rough, un-
even land twice or thrice each season
for an indefinite term of years. AT
ter grading and Immediately before
sowing the seed the land should be
flooded. Irrigation at this stage
serves threefold purpose. First it
reveals the high spots if any remain
and these should at once be worked
down and irrigated. AS soon there
after as the ground will bear working
the seed should be sown. Secondly,
irrigation before seeding insures the
prompt and complete termination of
the seed. This is point of vital i'm
portance, for without dense and uni
form stand of plants it is not possible
to make high quality of alfalfa hay.
If the stand is thin on the ground
the stalks will be coarse, woody and
indigestible and in curing the leaves
will dry and fall off before the stems
are sufficiently cured. In starting
alfalfa the most universal practice
is to trust to tickle and scanty showers
for moisture, or in the absence of
these, to sheer luck. Doubtless now
and then satisfactory stand is Sc
cured in this way. The great major
ity of alfalfa. growers are practically
ignorant of what constitutes strictly
first class stand of alfalfa because the
system of seeding in vogue is one
which depends for its success upon
combination of favoring conditions
which rarely happen. The damage is
when rain is depended upon, that the
sun and wind will dry out the soil to
the depth of the seed before it can
take sufficient root to survive. We
know whole fields to perish in this
way after the seed was we'll sprouted
but to irrigate Immediately before
seeding completely obviates this dan
ger by supplying the soil with fund
of moisture compared with which a
copious shower is bagatelle and
which causes the seed to spring with
a rapidly and completeness scarcely
attainable otherwise - Field and

Attempted Burglary

One of the boldest burglary attempts
made in Glenwood for a long time
occurred Thursday evening at the
Bisbee home on Bennett avenue
With three lights burning on the first
tioor man entered the house. Mrs.
Bisbee was spending the evening with
friends and the would be robber sup
posed he had snap hut he failed to
reckon on the occupants of the second
floor, Allen and one of his boy
friends being upstairs Hearing a
rattling of china on the Sideboard,
which he knew could be occasioned
only by some one walking aero IS the
diningroom floor, he rushed down
stairs and encountered roughlooking
man. Quickly grabbing a revolver,
which proved to be empty, Allen
chased the burglar out through the
front door.
Allen says he only got rear view
OF the intruder as the man was in
quite hurry to get out on the street.
and as for himself, he was naturally
a little excited 1t was very fortu.

the empty gun as the other was
sufficiently loaded to put several

Irriaatinq Ground Before Seeding

In starting alfalfa the first point
claiming consideration is the selection
and preparation of the soil. Bench
land is preferable to bottom land and
sandy loan is more desirable than
clay although some clay soils answer
we'll for alfalfa, but the plants are
longer in becom' ng established. AL
falfa should not be sown on sod for
the reason that so valuable and per
manent crop should never be laid on
surface rough and difficult of irriga
tion. The plowing should, if possi
BILE, be done in the fall. In the
tspring. before seeding, the land should
he carefully graded to surface SO
even as to obviate the necessity Of an
irrigator stepping into the growing
crop to force the water with the
shovel. Whoever neglects to do this
will. when too late, have abundant
and unceasing cause to repent his fol-
ly.

THE VERY QUEER FRANKS
OF MYSTERIOUS OLE HANN

Ole denied the accusation with great
show of resentment and loud protesta-
tions of his innocence but the ladies
locked the doors and threatened to
search the young fellow, when after
discussing the question thoroughly he
finally softened and compelling Mrs
Bennett to describe her purse and the
kind of money it contained, returned
to her the purse with the full amount
of money left in it-$l51.
He stoutly denied, however, any
knowledge whatever of Mr. Bennett 3
purse but at once went across the riv.
er to the other cabin owned by the
Bennetts and there told Mr.. Snyder
he had just had row with Mrs. Ben
nett He then went to the barn where
he remained for some time and then
came down to Glenwood.
When Mr. Snyder heard Mrs Ben
| nett version of the trouble, he sus-
pected that Ham had hid the pocket
book in the barn and made a careful
search for it but could not find it
This week after the snow had disap-
peared, the purse was found at the
barn, the contents all missing save
few postage stamps When Ham left
the ranch on the day Mrs. Bennett
forced him to give up the one purse,
he came to Glenwood and soon left
here, it being reported that he has
gone to Denver
Ham is wellknown to few people
in Glenwood and Rife where his con
duct has 'al oused considerable suspi-
cion as to his sanity and at one time
there was considerable talk of holding
an inquisition to pass upon his men
tai equilibrium.
The above is the story told by Mrs.
Bennett, the authenticity of the same
being vouched for by Miss Sibert.

An Especially Sad Loss

Surprise and sorrow were depicted
on every countenance when it became
known that little Hiram Bulls Jr. +,
the three year old son of Reverend and
Mrs. Hiram Bulls, had passed away
Monday evening from black measles
of malignant type. The little one
had only been i'll short time and his
condition had not been considerd crit
ical until a few hours before hi , death
Death is ever sad but the passing of
this bright little boy under the Pc
culiar conditions seems an affiiction
especially severe and hard to bear
Mr.. Bulls, who found in little Hiram
his especial pride and joy had not
seen any of his family for several
months, having been in the east to
recuperate his own shattered health.
Mrs Bulls had written her husband
of the little ones lines but scarcely
had she mailed the letter when she re-
ceived a telegram stating that Mr..
Bulls was on the way home but
would come by easy stages. Inter
ment was made Tuesday afternoon in
Rosebud cemetery and Mr.. Bulls
homecoming. instead of the joyous ex-
perience he had anticipated, is made
peculiarly sorrowful by this incident.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bulls will have the
heartfelt sympathy of their many
friends in this severe affiiction.

A LdwIeSS Movement

A. tramp printer drifted into the
harbor of Lamar on Monday flying
signals of distress and succeeded in
getting an order from The Sparks man
for square meal. chat evening the
tourist dropped. in at the life saving
station conducted by Ed. Person, and
after short visit succeeded in getting
two checks for IS each cashed-one
being drawn on the First National and
one on the State bank, with the name
of the sporting editor of The Sparks
attached to each. The checks were
very crude forgeries, not initiating in
any respect the peculiar chirography
of the editor, and the cashiers of the
banks turned them down promptly
without the formality of consulting
the overdraft side of the ledger.
Meantime the tourist had set sail for
the west.
The officers are divided in opinion
regarding the punishment that should
be meted out to the forger in case he
is captured. Some of them claim that
he has shown himself to be a danger
GUS criminal who will hesitate at
nothing and should therefore be pun
ished to the limit, while others claim
that the Pueblo asylum is the proper
place for anyone who will sign a
country editors name to checks -

Two huaiCpal Tickets

Glenwood is to pass through the
throes of another municipal cam
paign--in fact the campaign is on in
real earnest and has been since last
Saturday night when two tickets were
placed in the field. The Citizens
convention met in the district court
room and without lengthy prelimi-
nsries or parley named the following
ticket: Mayor, w. s. Parkison; trus-
tees, Elmer E. Lucas, Joseph L. Pre-
Vile and Dr. L. A. Robinson.
The Grizzleys were not quite so
grizzley as on the previous Thursday
evening. The process by which a
ticket becomes cut and dried affair
had been at work during The previous
two days. Brother Kendrick had
exhausted mis- supply of oratorical
fireworks at the meeting Thursday
evening and no one else having CON
signment of hot air to work Off there
was little to do and adjournment was
taken in time to allow the attendants
to reach their homes before the curfew
rang.
The commit ttee on nominations pre-
viously appointed recommended the
following slate which was adopted by
rising vote: Mayor, E. B. Everett
trustees, C. d. Barnes, Geogre E.
Hawkins and }. K. Walsh. In case
. Il vacancy occurs, George Bell, George
Edinger and Frank Walter are en-
powered to fill up the gap.
After passing resolutions condemn
ing the present council for giving the
people the best administration the
town has ever enjoyed, the manipula-
tions of the campaign were delegated
to Walter, Edinger, Napier and
George Kendrick the meeting ad-
journed, not, however, till George
insisted that his baby should be chris
tened "Grizzly' which was done by
unanimous consent.
