YOUNG HIGHWAYMAN IS
GIVEN TWENTY YEARS

OAKLAND, June 1s.-Ira Butler, a
slender youth who was convicted by
a jury Of holding UP seven men in the
Albany cafe in Broadway, was SEN
tenced by Judge Melvin today to serve
% years in San Quentin penitentiary.
Before passing sentence Judge Melvin
asked Butler If he had anything to say.
Taking a grip on the railing to steady
himself. Butler said:
I know II is the regular thing for
convicted men to stand UP like hypo-
critics and say they have not had q
fair trial and claim they are innocent,
but I am not going to do it. I thank
you. Judge Melvin, for the fair trial
/ have had and ask that I be sent to
san Quentin instead of Folsom
In reviewing the case Judge Melvin
ernphasized the fact that Butler had
fired shot from one Of the pistols be-
fore leaving the saloon, and this was
taken as an evidence of his murderous
intentions.
The crime for which Butler was con-
victed was particularly bold. He en-
. tered the rear door of the Albany cafe.
near the corner of Fifteenth street and
Broadway. about 9 o'clock at night
and presenting two heavy pistols lined
UP the seven men in the place against
the wall and robbed them of their val
uables. He broke open the cash regis
ter and took its contents, and in leav-
ing fired a shot to discourage pursuit.
The police at once began a thorough
search Of the neighborhood and dis
covered Butler in a shed within two
blocks of the cafe. Near by were found
his belt and the brace Of heavy pistols
he had carried. His coat, containing
the money and watches, was found
later in a garbage barrel.
That Butler had criminal record in
the east was proved by the receipt of
his photographs taken when convict
in the penitentiary at Nashville, Tenn.
He served two years there for grand
larceny.

SCHOOLbOY KILLS HIS
FRIEND BY ACCIDENT

hands of Arnold Wyhs, a IA year old
schoolboy yesterday put an end to the
life of year old Max Dillar, his COM
panion, and barely missed. killing Ella
Wyhs, the year old sister of the older
boy who was standing near watching
the two cleaning up the weapon in
preparation for a hunting excursion
which they had planned.
At the time of the accident young
Dillar was standing but a few feet from
the Why's lad and the contents of the
weapon when it was discharged en-
tered his left side almost tearing out
his entire heart, The charge missed
the little girl, who was standing be-
tween the two boys, by a few inches.
With his sister and his mother Why's
lives in the rear of a restaurant which
his mother keeps at 1407 Devisadero
street. The boy now dead lived next
door at 1415 of the same street and
was constant companion of the Wyhs
children. The trio planned hunting
trip in the cemeteries near their home
yesterday morning and Arnold Wyhs
was cleaning the gun in preparation for
the event.
He did not know that it was loaded
and carelessly raised the hammer while
the muzzle was pressed against the
breast of his playfellow. The report
which followed when the hammer
slipped back into place brought the
mothers of both lads, as well as a crowd
of passersby, into the back yard where
the accident occurred.
Although the tragedy was plainly ac-
cidentaI 1T was necessary to take the
lad who fired the shot into custody and
he was accordingly locked up at the

TO AID DAIRYMEN.

=. K. Slater, state dairy and food
commissioner. has in mind the send
ing OF a number of dairy inspectors
throughout northern Minnesota,
where dairying is just getting foot
ing. ana which he has already gone
on record as saying is the most
promising section Of the state for
dairying in years to come because Of
it's luxuriance in clover and hay.
These inspectors are not to 60 as
critics, but as helpers.
II believe our next step should be
to go right to the farms of our COW
keepers and help them to see the
folly OF keeping cattle at a loss. The
northern Minnesota COW is producing
very little more than $50 pounds
of butter annually. She produced
practically as mucheu ten years ago.
She should be on the increase when
properly handled. My plan is for a
dairy Inspector to go to each cream
cry and cheese factory, and remain
long enough at each to talk with
each patron about his herd, and
advise him where he can improve his
methods. I would have the in
spectors give their whole attention
to improving two things-ouality
and quantity. l can see no better
way for the practical encouragement
of dairying in this new field.
II would also suggest to farmers
who are interested, to arrange for
two or three rousing meetings of
neighbors who are interested in
bettering their herds and getting
more money out of their COWS. II I
am notified in time, l will be glad
to send an inspector to such meet
ings where he can give practical in
struction that should mean, if
followed, gold dollars for all farmers
who hear and follow his advice" "

Forty Years Ago.

The Saturday issue of the st. Paul
Dispatch in its ''Forty Years Ago.
column has an interesting news item
in connection with Major Mix, no v
of Crookston. Major Mix is one Of
the oldest settlers of the state and
was all through the country, now
thickly' settled, and over the ground
now covered by the cities of Crock
ston. Grand Forks and Fargo before
there was any hint of city in any
of those places. Following is the
item in the Dispatch: :
Mai. c. H. Mix and Mr.. Benjamin
| Thomson, agent of the Sious
Indians. returned to St. Paul last
evening from Lac Traverse and the
head waters of the Minnesota river.
They say the water in the tributaries
Of the Minnesota is higher than for
twenty years past. No streams are
fordable above Birch Coolie. At
the Chippewa river he had to swim
his horse quarter of mile. Major
Brown, with twenty teams and 100
emlgrants, were waiting to cross at
! this point. On last Sunday night
the water was running in a perfect
! torrent from Lake Traverse, the
source of the Red river, into Big
Stone lake. the head Of the Mime
! s0Ca river
These lakes, the fountain reser-
voirs Of waters running in opposite
directions-one toward the Gulf of
NJ exico and the other toward
] Hudson Bay-are about half a mile
apart. and frequently overflow in
periods OF high water, when they
interlock and connect the two systems
Of rivers moving no rth and south,
these forming a continu Gus line OF
navigable waters about 1900 miles
in length, from New Orleans up the
Mississippi and Minnesota rivers,
through Big Stone lake into Lake
Traverse, down the Red river into
| Lake Winnipeg. and up the
Saskatchewan to Fort Edmo nton,. at
the foot Of the Rocky Mountains.
