Strychnine kills the rats too quickly

The value Of alfalfa as food for hogs
has been known for some time but the
product has 80 far not met with pop.
ular favor locally or rather has not
been tried to any extent. W. O..
Marean has been experimenting with
it and has secured very satisfactory
results. He put ont twenty-five acres
Of alfalfa two years ago upon which
he pastured last year all his hogs and
several head Of cattle and besides cut
two good crops Of hay. He raised
these hogs almost entirely on alfalfa
and got . better growth and kept them
in more healthy condition than
when relying on grain for feed. This
spring he has nearly one hundred and
fifty pigs running on this field Of al.
falfa and they are doing finely with
practically no grain at all. The pro-
position is one that is worth looking
into. -Glidden Graphic.

7. h. Kirby. With 4 Dozen Aliases. Wanted
in Many Cities from Crimes Committed
During Past Nine Years.

Last week we told the story Of the
passing of forged checks for $50 each
upon l.. o. Reed and #. W. Boyd by
one #. II. Kirby, and his arrest and
preliminary hearing before Justice H.
r. Barthell, where he waved examina-
tion and was bound over to the grand
jury, his bail being fixed at 81. 600,
which he was unable to furnish and
was remanded to Jail to await the ac-
tion Of the grand jury.
Developments during the past week
show him to have been engaged in
this work for the past nine years. In
fact, after being put through a sweat
ing process. he confessed to Sheriff
Qualley that he had been passing
forged checks for nine years past,
claiming that he had teen working N
conjunction with two ether parties.
named H. Kiness and George Hayes
He claimed that these parties had
forged all the checks and that he had
passed them for them. giving them a
part Of the proceeds realized there
from. He said that these two parties
were here at the races and had gone
to Cedar Rapids, where he agreed 70
meet them the following week. Kirby
had assumed various names at
different times, among them being J.
B. Sutton, j. HI. Sutton, J. HI. Kir-
by. F. H. Crabbe, F. H. Curb and Jock
Palmer. He says that he is gradu-
ate Of the state university at Madison,
Wis. and records in police circles
show him to be an expert bookkeeper.
On Thursday Sheriff Qualley, in
company with L. o. Reed took him
to Cedar Rapids. where he agreed to
point out the two parties above mem
toned. Arriving there they took him
to police headquarters and the Chief
of Police Immediately recognized him
as the party who had passed several
checks in Cedar Rapids. At first he
denied it. but upon being shown .
photograph OF himself and numerous
forged checks, descriptions. etc. he
owned mp to it. The records show
that he has served terms in the Min
nesota state reform school, the peni-
tentiary at Saltwater. and also the
|penftentiary at Anamosa. Iowa. The
Cedar Rapids Chief Of. Police had two
sworn informations there against him,
also notification that he was wanted
for similar work at Omaha. Sioux
City. st. Pail, Council Bluffs, Clin-
ton. Vinton. Des Moines, Dubuque,
Manchester and several points in
Illinois. At Cedar Rapids he skipped
his board bill at the hotel. and in fact
has proven to be q famous crook
whom the police of three states have
been attempting to capture for some
time.
At Cedar Rapids as was expected he
failed to locate and identify the two
other parties whom he claimed were
forging the checks that he passed. and
he was brought home on Friday. At
Calmar they were met by . police
man and harnessmaker from Vinton.
the latter being one of his victims.
He was brought here. and placed in
Jail to await the action Of the grand
jury at the next term Of court.

mission In the state of Wisconsin
for twenty months, but in that time
we have had THREE HUNDRED
DECISIONS in our favor
The speaker at this point in his lee
ture and clear through to the end de-
voted himself to railroad iniquities
and railroad tariffs and their regula-
,io1. He particularly turned his
attention to Colorado and to the fact
that Grand Junction had high rail-
road tariffs. He said he had been ask
ed not to speak on that subject, but
he found that It was too vital to
leave alone. He told of his exper-
ienoe with railroads in Wisconsin
and the efforts that had been made
to make the railroads pay their just
share of taxes. That state finally did
have a commission appointed and the
other day the railroads, after fight
ing the case as hard as they could,
walked into the state house and paid
81, 100000 in taxes due and de-
linquent. We get cars when we want
them. We ask for better terminals
and we get them at once. If the
freight rates are unjust we regulate
them. 1t took years to fight the bat
tie, but our commission is composed
of honorable men, giving Justice TO
the railroads as well as to the people.
"WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN WIS
CONSIN YOU CAN DO IN COLO
RADIO. You can control the railways
and rates of transportation"
Michigan, Wisconsin and Texas
have their railway laws and we
have not suffered in the least. No
man wants to injure the railroads
they are just as essential to us as
anything We have.
From this point on Senator LaFol-
lette gave In detail his efforts and
the efforts of others to secure nation
al legislation upon the regulation of
trusts. He read from the Congress-
ional Record the record of those
who voted for the interests of the
people and those who had not. This
concluding part of his speech was
magnificent. He seemed transform
ed as he spoke of the great wrongs
that the people had suffered. He
graphically described how he had en-
deavored to speak in the senate and
how the senators had left the great
hall. He has fought them and pro-
poses to fight them to the end. His
vote will be cast for the people so
long as he lives and 1t will be cast
right, even though he is the only one
to vote for measures of reform. He
stamped upon tie minds of the great
audience present that he was in ear
nest to save the country from the per-
lis that assailed it through the mach
nations of the great trusts. The pow
er of the combined railroad organiza-
tions and the interests" as they are
known in the American congress,
which controlled every great interest,
not for. but against the people in IA
vor of the rich.
Governor LaFollette said that his
life should be devoted in an attempt
to save the nation from the perils that
he believd threatened 1t from the sub
ordination of Representative Gov
ernment"

The young man left Denver about
four weeks ago and stopped at many
towns end cities seeking employment
of the kind which he could perform.
He met with little success and last
night found himself in Grand juno
tion.
Hunter informed the Sentinel this
morning that he came to America
from Switzerland about four years
ago and for a considerable period
since coming to America has been en-
ployed in Texas. He states that about
two months ago he went to Denver
and there met up with another native
of the beautiful Swiss republic across
the sea. Delighted to meet one who
was acquainted with scenes that were
dear and near to him and placing the
utmost confidence in his new found
countryman, Hunter became very
friendly with the other Swiss. AS a
result the second Swiss broke faith
with Hunter and succeeded in get
ting away with $4,000, represent
ing all of the little store of earnings
that Hunter had worked so hard to
lay up down in Texas and after reach
ing Denver. Long and earnestly
did Hunter look for his false friend
and untrue countryman but all in
vain and sorrowfully he left the can
ital city and started for the farther
west.
The young man is looking for work
here today and II he cannot find en-
ployment he will continue on to Salt
Lake city with San Francisco as his
hnal destination. He is not begging
but pays his way by working at any
thing he can do.
Hunter is fair haired. strongly
built, open countenanced youth with
many of the evidences of his native
land clinging to him in speech, an
pearance and movements.
With such determination and grit
the Sentinel predicts that this son of
the Alpine valleys will win out vet
In the strange new land to which
he has come to make his home. He
stated that he preferred walking from
Denver to beating his way on
trains, because he feared this coun-
try's police" and wanted to get in no
trouble with them.
