q section man on the Crouch
Lines which came off in the

week, defendant was found not
guilty. The evidence brou ght
out was in effect that Bell has
for some time past been the
subject of annoyance by a gang
of toughs, in and about his
home at Placervllle where it is
alleged that a former section
man was by this gang forced to
leave his job. 1t appears that
Fin the case of Mr.. Bell that
the gang ran up against a game
proposition. When they came
to his residence and filled the
air thereabout with vile epithets
and obscene language Mr..
Bell got ont his gun and be-
gan to shoot over the heads of
his assailants as a bluff, but one
shot seems to have glanced and
went wild hitting one Walter
McDermott in the leg, intlicting
a serious wound. The young
mans mother swore out a war
rant for the arrest Of Bell, the

the above result. Wood and

Forest Experiments.

Ever since the Forest Service
introduced the cup and gutter
system Of turpentining, which
lessons the injury done the
trees in the process Of bleeding,
experiments have been carried
on toward still further reducing
the wound inflicted in harvest
ing turpentine crops. The COM
mon practice in chipping the
trees is still to cut the trunks so
deeply to form the "face,'.' from
which the resin exudes, and to
cut so many faces on each tree,
that the life of trees is shorten
ed unnecessarily and waste re-
suits. After a study of this
practice it was found by expert
ment that the resin ducts within
a quarter Of an inch of the sur
face of the wood are larger,
more numerous, and more free
flowing than oselying deeper.
Two questions then suggested
themselves: First, whether
shallower chipping might not
secure at least an equal crop,
and at the same time prolong
the productive life Of the trees;
and, second, whether more
profit would not be found in
cropping only the maturer trees.
10 answer these questions ex-
periments have been begun near
jacksonville, Fla, on 40, 200
trees, or FIVE crops of 5000
trees each, including all sizes
from 6 inches in diameter up
ward. One crop was worked in
the ordinary way, both as to
height and depth Of the faces
Clipped and the number Of
faces cut upon each tree, This

Looks on This City as the Future

TO RAPID CITY BUSINESS Ma:

The reporter was shown the
other day a series Of correspond
ence with the superintendent of
a railroad whose lines cross in
Rapid City. This correspond
ence covers a discussion in re-
lation to the probable reduction
in freight anent the prospect
of this city becoming a jobbing
and distributing center. The
correspondence is interesting in
that he superintendent Of this
railroad recognizes in his last
letter the fact that his company
have for more than a year had
Rapid City in view at the future
wholesale distributing point of
the Hills, and have been laying
their plans as to trackage and
other equipment to that end.
It is intimated in the CORES
pondence also, that several
strong wholesale concerns are
quietly looking up sites for
branch warehouses here and
that when ground has been Sc
lected these warehouses will
be put up early in the spring
unless vacant buildings can be
purchased suitable for then
needs. The correspondence al
so assures to Rapid City a
freight rate consistent with the
situation, and that Rapid City
will at once be regarded along
the line of a competing point
and that new schedules will be
arranged to that end.
1t is to be understood, now.

SUD Tor DAMAGES
BIG "po1N'sv IN THE DISTRICT
COURT
JOE PORTER MADE DEFENDANT
Elias Duddle Sues Him For Alleged
Malicious Prosecution for
100000

Inc feature OF the district
court in session tins week was
that of the action Of Elias Dnd-
dlea horse raiser and rancher
against Joe Porter, veteran
rancher near White Owl. Mr..
Porter is made a defendent in
the action, in which Duddle,
complainant, alleges that his
character has been maligned and
injured to the extent Of $4,000
by reason Of false and malicious
prosecution.
The story of the case dates
back to 1901 at which time
Duddle sold a bunch Of range
horses to Corbin Morse on a
future contract. The contract
papers were subsequently, as
signed to Porter which meant a
delivery Of about 60 head.
Porter was to ship the horses
on the market but failed to do
so and the horses became mixed
with q herd belonging to Dud-
die, and out Of this grew a.
lawsuit between Duddle and
Porter in 1902. In 1904 Dud-.
die is alleged to have taken out,
of the herd on the range in
Meade county eleven head Of
horses which Porter claimed
was his. The latter swore out
a warrant for Duddle which
charged him with the crime Of
grand larceny. The evidence
failed of strength in the district
court trial and Duddle was ac-
quilted.
Out of the former trial and
acquittal in Meade county grew
the present action Of Duddle
against Porter for damages to
character by reason Of mali
cious prosecution. Mr.. Dud-
dies interests in the case are
taken care Of by Buell. & Gard
ner while Chas. Brown and
Jas. Boyd appear for defendant.
The case is a jury trial and
promises to occupy a greater
part Of the week. There are
some exceedingly fine legal
points being developed in the
case, which in the faal argu-
ment to the jury promise to
draw a crowd to the bleachers
and to the old seats Of the regu-
lar habitues.

Fourteen In Two Hours.

served as a standard by which
to measure results obtained
from the novel methods tried in
the four others. With the first
experimental crop the chipping
was reduced to half the ordin-
ary depth; in the second, to
half the ordinary height, and in
the third, to half both the ordi-
nary height and depth. In the
fourth experimental crop, limit
ed to trees 10 inches and over
in diameter, the clippings were
OF ordinary size, as in the stand
srd crop, but all trees between
10 and 16 inches in diameter
had not more than two faces,
whereas the usual practice is to
chip more faces on trees Of these
sizes, In addition, an innova-
ton was made in this crop by
chipping somewhat narrower
faces on the smaller trees and
somewhat wider ones on the
larger, so as to preserve a more
constant ratio than commonly
between the width Of the faces
and the girth ofthe trees.
1t is too soon to attempt a
statement in exact figures of
the results already secured, and
final determination must wait
until 1.-The experiments shall have
run for the regular commercial
period Of three or four years.
The yield for this year points,
however, to the following con-
clusions:
Reducing the size Of the face
by one-half in height or depth
will give an equal first year yield
and u larger total yield for the
working period.
Reducing the size of the face
one-half in both height and
depth will materially increase
the annual yield, owing to the
lessoned injury to the vitality
of the tree.
Crops Of the larger sized trees
with fewer and smaller faces
will produce a considerably
larger annual yield than ordin-
ary crops, in which large and
small trees are Clipped severely
and the larger trees have more
faces.
Thus the conservative method
will insure the best annual
yield and the best total yield
for the working period. The
most important gain, however.
is likely to be found IN the long.
or period during which the
trees can be cropped. 1t is be.
lieved that by cropping the lar.
ger trees only and reducing the
size and number Of faces the
cropping can continue for eigh,
or ten years, by which time the
smaller trees will be ready te
take their place. Thus the
same area will supply the oper.
ator indefinitely, and the tur.
pentine industry, will be greatly
prolonged without destroying
the southern pine forests.
