After Horse Thief.

Sheriff Welsh of Burleigh county
was bound for Aberdeen, S. D.. today
to take back with him a prisoner,
Alex Larron convicted OF horse steal
Ing and sentenced to the Bismarck
penitent!ary from which he escaped
and was reoaptured in South Dakota.
The sheriffs of number Of counties
in the James River Valley and along
the Missouri slope are constantly re-
minded of the presence of gang Of
horse thieves that operate from Can
ada to the state line, and further
south. They are scattered all the way
along and most of them are heard Of
operating in the hills, between the
James and Missouri river.
LaMoure county at the next term
of court will have one of these horse
stealing cases up for trial, and the
states attorney will endeavor to
secure evidence for conviction.
There Is a we'll planned system
among the thieves and stolen horses
disappear from the owners prem
ises' and are met by confederates
and passed along the line, the theft
returning so quickly to the locality
chat his absence. would be generally
unobserved.
The gang swear to anything, and
so it has been a diff1cul5 matter to
prove q crime against any Of them.
Their operations are not confined to
horses, but stock men that range
out cattle, frequently meet with
mysterious losses, and trace stolen
cattle 10 the stock yards at St. Paul
and Chicago. The officers of the law
in both North and South Dakota are
being put on their mettle to- break
up this organization of gang thieves.
Many estray horse never heard Of in
this country are believed to have
been stolen by the gang run out OF
the country and sold to innocent.pur-
chasers.

Discriminate In kldder.

A Kidder county stock man claims
the livestock assessments In that
county by the assessors: discriminate
largely in favor Of the sheepmen, as
their yearlings are exempt from taxa
tion. He claims that the cattle in
terests ale superior to all others In
that country, but the assessment has
favored sheepmen. In Kidder coun.
.ty lambs are exempt from taxation,
and the county thereby lost thou
sands Of dollars as the lamb has al
ways a fixed value to the owner,
and a good many Of the shAepmen
are said ITO have gwen In their sheep
rs lambs, to the assessor.

Alfalfa In klddsr County.

The Troy farm near Tappen has
succeeded in growing alfalfa on an
acreage of thirty acres. The seed
was sown in what is known as sandy
soil and the fact that it was moved
during the summer and made a good
growth afterwards encourages farm
ers to believe that in the future alf-
alta is alright in North Dakota. Two
other farmers near the same farm cut
alfalfa twice last season and it is re-
ported that the yield was four and
one-halt tons per acre in two cut
itings. ;s.

The Simonitsch Ranch.
N. Simonitsch is in the ciC

N. Simonitsch is In the city to
contract for breaking of three
hundred acres OF new ground on the
Cleveland ranch, for the purpose of
putting in about 200 acres this
spring in flax. The ranch was orig
nally intended as a stock farm, but
has already 100 acres in crop and the
proprietor expects to cultivate about
500 acres, and keep the remainder of
his four sections, which are all under
fence, for stock purposes. There are
about 200 head of stock on the ranch.
The owners investments are getting
more extensive in the property each
year. He has had excellant luck in
getting water for stock, one flowing
we'll about ii feet deep having a
capacity ofsuffictent to water 1900
head rQt stock. He has constructed
two houses and three good barns.
While fencing his 2560 acre farm
Mr.. Simonitsch states that thev had
set into the ground a mile and half
of posts, and during the night some
party or parties took up the posts.
numbering about 420; that the posts
have disappeared and no trace Of
them has ever been found. Notwith-
standing this drawback and the low
price of cattle. Mr.. Simontsch Is co.,
fident of the future profits in the
farm and already finds the lands
greatly increased in value since he
purchased the ranch about five years
ago at 50 per acre. An adjoining
half section which recently sold for
SIG per acre. gives some indication Of
the raise in land values Of Stutsman
county In the last five years.
