Major Murphy Guilty.

After being ou. ferty-eight hours, the
jury in the Murphy case brought IN a
verdict of guilty of forgery in the third
degree, ending a trial lasting twenty
seven days. A motion for a new trial
will be argued January 8. the opening
day of the next term OF court, pending
which sentence was deferred.
Major Murphy was arrested on July 7,
1895. There we're two informations
sworn out by States Attorney McGee of
Ward county, one charging him with
forging the name of William Crowder
to tax receipt and the other charging
him with forging the name of Harry
Hardy to tax receipt.
Major Murphy is known to many
Dickinson people, especially those en-
gagged in the cattle business in early
days. 1t will be remembered that the
government forced his resignation as
Indian agent at Berthold on account of
irregularities, and at different times
criminal proceedings have been insti.
tuted against him, but this, we believe
is the 6rst conviction. 1t is estimated
that Murphy spent $4,000 in his de-
fence of the tax receipt charge.

than of emmer to gain pound of beef
while on grass. Millet stood next to
emmer. During the fattening period,
oats was again in the lead as a fat pro-
ducer with millet ranking second and
emmer fourth. In this case, as during
the calf period, emmer made saving in
the haynow. This is probably due to
the husk on the kernel of the emmer
acting as substitute for the coarse feed.
The butchers cuts from the different
feeding lots showed up about the same,
the sirloin from the emmer-fed beef
being as good as that from the oats-fed.
The fat in the millet-fed beef was softer
to the touch than that from the other
feelings.
The animals were marketed in Chi
cago and sold on their merits. After de-
Quoting first cost, cost of hay and value
of pasture from the selling price, it was
found that the various grains brought to
the feeders the following prices: Corn
AZ cents (per busheD, oats 26 cents,millet
SO cents and emmer 80 cents.
We may go step further and find
what these prices mean in North Dakota.
By referring to the annual reports of the
Fargo experiment station, we find that
the average yield in bushels of emmer,
, Dats and millet at that station for series
of years was as follows: Emmer 46 E
bushels, oats "a bushels and millet 27.S
bushels. By referring to the year book
for 1905, we find that the average yield
of corn in North Dakota for that year
was II bushels per acre. With the
prices obtained for the beef we get the
income per acre for the various crops
which is as follows: Emmer $3.50 per
acre, oats $1,000 per acre, millet $1,000
per acre and corn SI2.7o per acre. These
figures probably seem high but the yields
of grain from the Fargo station are prob.
ably higher than those obtained on the
average farm. The figures are probably
comparative for that portion of the state
Farther west, in the drier regions, emmer
might yield larger income than the
oats. L. X. WALDRON.

VALUE OF EMMER.
a Review Of South Dako.
ia Bulletin No. 81.

The question is often asked regarding
the feeding value of speltz. BY this
term is probably meant emmer which is
the proper name for the grain. Speltz is
a term applied to grain having no
boards, very little of which is grown in
this state. Both of these grains are in
reality true wheats though differing
markedly from the common milling and
macaroni wheats. Emmer and speltz
are in no way related to barley with
which they are sometimes confused.
The South Dakota experiment station
has completed feeding experiment with
emmer (speltz), millet. oats and corn.
The grains were all fed in ground con-
dition. The millet was variety of the
broom corn millets known as the Black
Veronezh. The animals fed were the
so-called baby beef. The calves were
divided into lots Of three and kept on
their respective grains with hay) until
marketed. The feeding of the animals
was divided into three periods-the calf
period, the grass period and the fattening
period. 1t was found that during the
calf period, oats, with corn as close
second, made the greatest gain per
pound of grain. 1t took one pound more
of millet and one and one-half pounds
more of speltz than of corn or oats to do
the work of these two grains. Less hay,
however, was required by the emmer-
fed calves to produce gains than for any
of the other grains. While the baby
beef was on grass, it took less emmer for
pound of gain than of any other grain.
1t took nearly three pounds more of oats

DICKINSON STARK COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA DEC
SToRY'S SENTENCE
Four Months in Jail.

The passing of sentence on w. H.
81 ory Came up the evening OF the 9th.
Mr. Simpson. attorney for defendant,
argued at some length for light SEN
,ence, saving that he believed if such
was obtained the case would not be ap-
pealed. Mr.. Simpson insisted that de-
iendant was temporarily insane when he
assaulted Felix Dilger with a knife last
fall; he also laid much stress on defen-
dant's previous good behavior and his
having already been confined in Jail for
some over 80 days.
Frank Baker, assistant states attorney,
said that he had no disposition to crowd
MIR. Story to the limit OF the law, but he
considered that the case exposed a
dangerous crime. In the past year or
two three similar cases had been passed
ment and it was high time that some
thing was done to teach people that
such acts of lawlessness would not be
tolerated in Dickinson, Mr.. Baker
argued in conclusion that it would be a
very dangerous precedent to admit
that because a person was filled with
"tire water" that he was not accountable
for his acts.
DeIo1e passing sentence n1 1euI
months in the Stark county Jail, Judge
Burke said that no evidence had been
introduced tending to show that Mr.
Story was other than very drunk at the
time of the assault.
A motion for new trial was denied
and Mr.. Story is now serving out his
ST ntence.
The attachment against David Mar.
kus was argued at some length. Mrs
Rose Katz has sued for $3.50 claimed tc
to he due her as wages. Mr.. Heffron, Of
Heffron & Current, appeared as The at
torney Of the plaintiff and presented .
affidavit tending to show that defendant
had attempted to dispose Of his stock o.
goods etc. Mr.. Baker, Of Mcbride &
Baker, came IN with affidavits showing
that defendant was doing good busi
ness and was NOT trying to sell out etc
After questioning defendant. the cour
decided not to dismiss the attachmen
and put the case over to the 18th fo
further investigation.
Court will be in session again mex
Monday, Dec. II.

will resign his position as architect and

and, as manager of the Missouri Slope
Brick & Tile Co, will devote large por.
ton of his time to soliciting orders for
brick and conducting the business.
The company is making standard
size brick, a fact that will be appreciated
by contractors, and it proposes to make
the price such as will encourage builders
to use its product in the construction ol
houses in Dickinson. There is no reason
why this should not be done.
The company has the most up-to-date

its purpose will be to manufacture few

dark red brick, SO that buyers will know
just what to expect when they come t
the firm for building material.
In closing, it may be said that of the
S35 900 capital, nearly the entire amount
has been invested in land and the equip
ment of the plant. The company ha!
been duly incorporated under the state
flaws of North Dakota, but not for the

MEYERS GUILTY.
Two Hungarians Swore
alseIy on Final Proofs.

On Dec. 4 a jury in the federal court
found Peter and Joseph Meyer, father
and son, guilty of subornation of per-
jury in a land case, and Judge Amidon
sentenced the prisoners to serve fifteen
days in the county Jail at Dickinson and
pay fne of S each.
Shortly before the jury arrived at a
verdict they were called before Judge
Amidon, who further charged them.
Attorney George A. Bangs, who repre-
sented the defendants, was not present
in the court room when the court for the
second time charged the jury, and it is
claimed that there is no precedent for
the action of Judge Amidon.
The plight of the Meyers is one of the
saddest that has come before a federal
jury for long time. They testified in
behalf of francesca Roth, a widow, aged
80 years, who had claim near their
home in Hettinger county in the vicinity
OF Mott. 1t Itappeared from the evidence
that Mrs. Roth slept at the home of her
son on an adjoining farm and did not
comply with the homestead laws. The
Meyers testified at the time of making
proof in July, 1905, that Mrs. Roth made
her home on her claim.
Clerk Schmidt of the Dickinson U. S.
land Office testified for the state that he
interpreted to the Meyers at the time
proof was made just what they were
swearing to and therefore they had full
knowledge of the wrongful act COM
mitted at the time.
The Meyers were arrested and taken
to Grand Forks about three weeks ago
and for several days were kept in the
county jail there. Their case is indeed
an unfortunate one, but it will serve as a
warning to the large number of people
who are inclined to think that it is all
right to get or help others get Uncle
Sans land without living up to the letter
of the law as regards residence.
1t is said that the government will
have Martin Roth, son of francesca
Roth, arrested on charge of suborna.
tion of perjury. 1t is claimed that the
son plotted to secure the land by having
his mother file on it and illegally prove
up on it.

cone of Chocorua, or who has gazed

ly illimitable sea of birch and pine to
the serried rampant of the Presiden-

deringly from the crest of Mount
Washington into the Great Cuffs I'M
fathomable gloom, can without a
passionate revolt regard the menace
of such vandalism as would sweep
those slopes bare OF their arboreal
covering. From the point of view of
the lover of nature it would be sac
rilege; from that of the thousands
who yearly repair thither for health
or pleasure it would be an unspeak-
able calamity.
From the practical, pecuniary point
of view the destruction of those for
ests would be monstrously foolish.
1t would be profitable to those who
did the job, but to some immeasurably
greater interests it would be ruinous.
Millions of dollars are now yearly
poured into New Hampshire by tour
lists and summer visitors, and the spo-
liation of the forests would greatly
deplete that golden food. Nor would
the damage be only local, among the
mountains themselves. There would
be disastrous effect extending far to
east and west and south, even be-
yond the boundaries of the state,
along the courses of the rivers which
rise in the White Hills; for the Saco,
the Ammonoosuc and the Pemige-
wasset would be transformed from
beneficent and constant streams into
capricious things, now running dry
and now swelled into ungovernable
and destructive torrents.
New York has done much, to her
credit and profit to preserve the North
Woods of the Adirondack region.
The forests of the White Mountains
are no less precious, but in some re-
spects are of even greater interest.
1t may be problematic whether the
comparatively small and poor State OF
New Hampshire can do unaided what
the Empire state has found no easy
task. 1t would be immeasurably
harder for New Hampshire to rescue
and to protect the White Mountains
than for New York to save the Adir-
ondacks. But in some way and by
somebody the good work should and
must be done.-New York Tribune.

That's nothing wonderful except for the
fact that the soft coal region OF Pennsylvania
is pretty hard on paint with it's oil, smoke
and CRIME. All we see in it is that Deyoe is
good for nine years sometimes. There are
thousands of people that know it and mill

There's the rub! We advertise for the mill
ions; we want to make paint for the millions.
Mr.. Cashier, do you know that Devoe lead
and-zinc is twice as cheap as lead-and- oil or
mixed paints? Is 90 per cent fair profit in
your business?
Three quarters of the people paint lead and
oil mixed by hand; while the U. 8. Govern
