Of Importance to military men. for upon it
depends the right of the United States to
infiict summary punishment upon civilians
who commit crimes upon a military reser-

dentally is involved the question as to the
officer of a post to protect the government
under his charge from harm.
Lieutenant Drury and Private Dowd are
the accused. Some copper had been stolen
from the Allegheny arsenal. and man was
seen running away with a parcel. He was
pursued across the line OF the post and,
failing to stop upon demand OF Drury, by
his order Dowd sent bullet through the
fugitive. II the man had fallen within the
limits OF the post there would have been no
question as to the right OF the soldiers to
have shot him. But as he wass killed ON
Pennsylvania soil the local authorities had
the soldiers arrested. The government in
tervened and in the lower court pleaded
lack Of Jurisdiction on the part Of the state,
but this rejected. and now the case
will come before the appellate tribunal TO
be tried upon its merits.

sympathy for Meyer AMI Hay

The publication is filled with
falsehood, told in a straightfor

poisoning the minds of those who
read it and accept it without fur

have printed and sold 2,240, 900
copies of that issue, circulated

Its purpose is to misinform and
embitter a class of people against

The overplanting mot overharvest-
ing) Of sugar beets without being
balanced by 3 proper proportion
of other crops. Too many people
expected to sell sugar beets and
buy other products.
Another cause for distress is the
influx of 50 many new settlers on
new farms many of whom had not
the means to tide them over the
poor crops and the heavy winter.
The rapid development of the
country at large, the construction
of new railroads, canals and
reservoirs which call for enormous
consumption of products and labor
will serve to intensity the shortage
until after the coming harvest.
Abundant crops usually follow
such conditions as we have just
had. and good prices with great
material development are to be
expected. The man who leaves
his farm now to go out and work
for wages will find profitable em.
ployment, but will miss a rare
opportunity for making money at
home.

Rabbits Consolidated

T. L. Jones was up from Otis
Wednesday, and said that nearly
all the rabbits froze or starved
during the last cold snap, and t lat
only those that got to the willows
survived.
G. L. Braley was present and
said that he and the Mcdonald
boys and a friend of theirs from
Minnesota went out recently to a
bushy tract near Woodlands ranch
northeast Of town, and shot about
$50 rabbits in two hours. They
we're SO plentiful that the men
killed most of them without walk,
ing about much, merely shifting
from one foot 70 another to rest
their legs. The writer decided
that Mr.. Braley ought to take the
dollar,' but Will Heslop went
ont Just above there to get a load
of hay, and he says the rabbits
"were as thick as ants" so we
award the dollar to Hes,op.
This is an age of consolidation,
and it is no wonder the rabbits are
getting together.
