CHURCH OWNERSHIP LIMITED.

Voters who are still afraid of the
church property exemption in the
wide-open tax amendment should
read section 1884 of the revised
statutes, says the Minneapolis Jour
nal. This section is an effectual bar
to any scheme for accumtlating
property under church auspices and
getting exemption from taxation.
The section provides that the trus-
tees may hold other real or personal
estate to an amount which will pro-
duce a yearly income of not more
than $4,000, and may demise, lease
and improve the same"
Legal authority is almost unani-
nous in saving that the amendment
will not change the present exemp-
lions in the least, but if there is any
lingering doubt on that proposition,
the existence of the statute would
do away with all danger to tax
evasion of churches. This statute
would not be affected in any way by
the passage of the constitutional
amendment.

The origin of croquet is certainly in
volved in mystery. Some authorities
are Of the opinion that it is founded on
the old game of pale maille," or pell-
NELL, from which we have the street
Pail Mall. This is described by Cot
grave in his dictionary as "a game
wherein round box bowie is with a
mallet struck through high arch Of
yron," and a picture of this in Struts
Sports and Pastimes" shows that
these had a strong resemblance to the
croquet implements Of today.-London

Don't Talk Much to Your Horse.


A horse who has always been made
to obey quickly will respond to COM
mands from any one, whereas the
creature who has been petted and talk
ed to accords, unless hungry, scant at
tention to any one. We talk to horses
altogether too much, and it is a silly
and dangerous custom. "Whoaw should
mean but one thing and, slip, slide or
fall, should meet with instant obedi-
ence. Not another word should ever
be used, beyond possibly the order to
''stand over in the stall although even
that is best unsaid) except the "click"
Of the tongue for increased speed. The
animals attention is kept if you are
silent. He does not know what you
will do next, and as he distrusts and
merely tolerates you, even as he fears
you, his anxiety is always to find out
what you wish done or what move you
will next make.-F. NJ. Ware in Outing

EDWARD G. HINTZ is DEAD.
A Wagon Loaded With Grain Passes
Over One Side of Body.

Springfield Advance
The tragic death of Edward G.
Hintz. a prosperous young farmer
residing two miles northeast of
Springfield, was received here yes
terday afternoon with no little sur
prise to many of our citizens who
are personally acquainted with him.
The exact manner in which he met
such a sudden death is a matter of
conjecture only. Sometime during
the forenoon he backed his wagon
up to the granary and loaded it with
wheat preparatory to bringing it to
town. Having finished loading it is
supposed he got on the front end of
the load, started up the team and in
some unaccountable manner fell to
the ground Immediately back of the
horses. The wheels passed over him
nearly the entire length Of his body,
the entire side being badly crushed
in, and it is supposed that death was
instantaneous. Before the wheels
passed over him, the ground shows
that his body was dragged along for
some distance.
He was favorably known both in
this city and in the surrounding
country, having resided in North
Star for many years. He was about
80 years of age.
No one was near him when the
fatal accident occurred and for this
reason the exact manner in which
he met death will never be known.
His wife was the first to discover
the body lying prone upon the
ground, and at that time life was
already extinct.
This sudden and tragic death is
severe blow to the family, to whom
the undivided sympathy of the com
munity is extended.

OUT IN MONTANA.
Geo. Seebeck Writes of Some of His
First Impressions.

1t may interest the readers of THE
GAZETTE to hear something about
Montana, or the wild and wooley
west state.
After travel of over 400 miles
westward | landed at a station
called Collins. From there | took
stage ride of 26 miles over a coun-
try that was once the home of the
Buffalo and where many bands of
hostile Indians once pitched their
tepees. All | saw was vast stretch
of plains. Not until | reached my
destination did l feel better.
In the valley of the Teton is the
village of Choteau. 1t is a pretty
place, situated on the Teton river,
with a population of 100 Away off
in the distance to the west we can
see the Rockies, with their snow
white caps.
This is the time of year when
ranchers begin to round up stock
for shipment. 1t is something inter-
esting to watch a great roundup

roundup all the cattle in the coun-
try.

number goes in another. Some
times a rider will stray from the
bunch and get lost, and wherever
night catches him he must stay.
supper or no supper. He makes the
best of his bargain, so he takes his
lariat, ties it to his broncho's neck
and the other end he fastens to his
saddle, and using the saddle for
pillow he rolls himself up in his
blanket and goes to sleep, rain or
storm.
Last Friday night we saw our first
snow of the season. That very night
ranchman with a band of 1000
sheep was caught a mile from town.
1t took several sheep herders to
keep them from straying away. |
am told that on stormy night some
six years ago nine sheep herders
persisted within a few miles from
town, the storm taking them by
surprise.
1t is great sport to watch a bron-
cho buster try to break a wild horse
to ride. | have seen the girl bron-
cho buster. She certainly is daisy
to master wild broncho and in few
hours she will have Mr.. Broncho
halter broken and also ready to ride.
This young lady, l am told, is con-
sidered the best girl rider in this
country. 1t may seem strange to
the young people of Redwood Falls,
that in this country the buggy rides
are mostly taken on horse back.
There is a vast difference in this
country. One sees no such beautiful
fields of grain as at home, altho
some very fine grain is being raised.
only by irrigation. This country
took away several prizes from the
state fair at Helena. and some Of
the finest wheat is grown right here.
Threshlng is not finished and men
are scarce. Men get $40 and S45
per month and board, and money
comes easy and goes fast.
Come west, boys, and get rich.
