Bisbee, Aug. 25.-At a dance
held on the farm of Louis Meyer,
east of Bisbee a drunken alterca-
ton occurred between Walter
Murphy and Willie Swink, in
which the latter drew a knife and
inflicted several ugly wounds on
the body OF his opponent.
Murphy now lies st Egeland
in the care Of a doctor, and is
said to be in a serious condition.
Immediately after the cutting,
Swink was arrested and taken to
Cando and had his hearing. Act
ing States attorney Sennett de.
cided to continue the hearing
one week, in the meanwhile plac-
ing the prisoner under bonds OF
81, 900, in default of which he
was lodged In the county Jail.

Infant Found in Water.

The body Of a female child was
found in a railroad ditch a mile
east Of Granville. The babe was
dead and evidently had been in
the water torth-eight hours. The
appearance Of the body leads the
doctor to believe that the little
babe had been thrown in the
ditch a few hours after birth and
that the birth was premature
perhaps four weeks Water was
found in the lungs which streng-
thens the theory that the child
was not yet dead when thrown
in the water. 1t is believed by
some that the child was thrown
from the cars but as the ditch is
some little distance from the
track, this could hardly have
been the case.

Money for the Farmer.

The Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and 500 lines filed with
the Minnesota state grain and
warehouse commission notice of
a 10 per cent reduction in grain
rates.
The reductions will apply to
all territory more than fifty
miles distant from the terminals
and Includes practically all OF
the territory in which grain is
raised.
The three roads named made a
proposition recently to the rail-
road and warehouse commission
Offering to reduce grain rates 10
per cent if the com mission would
suspend the pending hearing on
merchandise rates.
The commission, owing to op-
posion, declined to accept the
proposition, and later gave no.
tice of an inquiry into the grain
rates.
The three roads then voluntar,
lily filed their notice Of q reduc-
ton. 1t is estimated that the
lower rates will mean a saving OF
from 81, 100000 to $1:5OO,O00
on this years bumper crop.

Farmer Charged with Fraud.

E. E. Hazen, a Lansford home
steader, was arrested Saturday
by Deputy U. S. Marshal Stout,
charged with being mixed in the
land frauds. He is charged with
entering into a contract with a
homesteader to take his place off
his hands after proof had been
made. This, it seems, is quite
contrary to the law, although a
large number of people of this
part of the state have been guilty
of this offense. The government
has special agents on the lookout
for any of these cases and some
more arrests are likely to occur
at most any time. Hazen has
given bonds for his appearance
in the u. S. court.

The Wisest Plan,

1t would be we'll for the farmers
to get out some good fire breaks
as soon as they get their grain
cut. The wisest plan is to keep
on the safe side, as a prairie fire
sweeping through big fields Of
shocked grain is no Joke and can
soon rob a farmer of every cent
OF his seasons hard earnings.
Now is the time to keep a
sharp lookout on those carefully
garnered fields of grain. Nature
has done a good work in giving
you a bountiful crop; it is now
up to you to take care OF that
crop and avoid the remorse that
is bound to follow a fire calam-

binders were cutting oats, the
head one being driven by one of
the boys and the victim OF the
accident was riding with his OIL
der brother. The little boy got
off, but instead of remaining in
the stubble, he walked into the
standing oats which were above
his head and completely hid him
from his father who was driving
the second binder. The sickle
bar struck the little fellow just
below the knee, breaking the
bone, tearing the muscles and
severing an artery. The terri
fed father jumped from his ma
chine and dragged the little boy
from in front OF the binder, for
getting his team which ran away.
At first it was thought the boy
""ould lose his leg, if not his life,
but it is now thought he will pull
through all right.
Walter Albright, Williams Co.,
N. D., says in the North Dakota
Farmer: For the benefit of those
who have never spent a winter
on the Dakota prairies, would
like to say a few words in regard
to stacking hay. I have always
found that one will get very sat-
isfactory results by stacking from
the northwest to the southeast,
as a majority of the billiards and
hard winds in winter come from
the northwest and by stacking
that way the snow will drift over
the end of the stacks and not
over the side and consequently
will not cover so much hay. An
other thing: Always place as
much hay as possible in one stack,
and always leave a good space
between the stacks and buildings
COR the wind to draw through.
In building a fence around grain
or hay stacks, always set posts
that are ten or twelve feet long,
so in case the snow should drift
over it, more wire poles can be
put up to keep the stock away.
When one has stock an abund-
ance Of hay shoul always be put
up, as one good forkful of hay in
the middle of winter is worth
fifty resolutions to put up more
hay next fall.
