Farmer Thrown Before Machine In
Runaway Is Saved by Son.
By the prompt action of his son, the
life of James Bowers, a farmer resid-
ing in the southern portion Of Brown
county, was saved. Bowers was en-
gagged in operating pulverizer drill,
to which four horses were attached,
when the animals became frightened
and started to run away. In endeav-
oring to control the animals, the farm
er was thrown to the ground, and in
an instant he was being trampled by
the plunging horses. In moment
more they would have broken away,
and he would have been torn to pieces
by the machine. The son, having no
ticed the plight of his father, rushed
to his assistance, and by desperate
effort succeeded In bringing the horses
to standstill when the machine was
only few inches from his fathers

Cheyenne River Indians Grant Liberal
I awe

Laws.
The Indian council which has adj
journed at Cheyenne River agency was
attended by large number Of Indians
from all parts of the reservation, and
the agency was surrounded for the
week by their tepees. The gathering,
which had under consideration the
leasing of a tract to the Ute Indians
who broke away from their Utah res
ervation last winter, were rounded up
in Wyoming, and brought to Fort
Meade, where they were held all win
ter was addressed by number of
chiefs and head men of the reservation
who generally were in favor Of giving
their brethren shelter. The repre-
sentatives of the Utes were Chief APP
pach and Maj. Johnson of Fort Robin
son.
Appach made plea for his people,
who he said could not live on the res
ervation set aside for them in Utah,
and that they were obliged to leave it
or starve. Maj. Johnson also made a
strong speech for the Utes, and it is
said by those who were present that
his talk was rather sensational in re-
gard to the Indian departments treat
ment of the Utes. The discussion on
the matter lasted a day and a half.
The lease which was granted was ap-
proved by large vote of a majority
h of the Indians present. 1t is to run
for five years. The permission is
given with it for the Utes to travel
over the reservation free of charge,
and to send their children to school.
The matter of the Benway Brothers
pasturing their cattle on the Milwau-
kee road cattle trail was up before the
council, but was not acted upon, as an
agreement had been reached between
the Benways and Agent Downs, the
details of which are to be completed
by the business council, which was au-
thorized to make a new lease of the
trail to the railway company at rate
OF not less than 4 IL cents an acre per
year. This is a question which proba-
bly, will require adjustment, as the
company only desires to use the
pasture part of the summer when they
Will ship over their new line to Mo-
bridge. But as the matter was turned
over to the Indian business council, it
probably will be adjusted.
Arrangements were made for a
grand Fourth of July celebration on
virgo creek, about twenty-five miles
northwest Of the agency, at which In
dian Commissioner Leupp is expected
to be present to make an address to
the Indians. The council ended with a
big feast for all who were present

likewise would be cast off. In from

larvae, or worms, about one-six-
teenth Of an inch in length, whitish
in color, with each end black. The
larvae lives for short time upon
the surface of the apple, and then,
when the latter is about an inch in
diameter, begins eating its way into
it. OF this first generation large

flower end, where the skin is more

APRIL FLAX HARVEST.

Snow Came Last Fall Before Harvest
Was Finished, So 1t Is Done Now.
Harvesting flax in April is not just
the usual order of affairs on a farm in
this part Of the world, but that is the
ecord made in Potter county.
Early SHOWS prevented the harvest
ing last fall, and when the snow which
lay on all winter, had disappeared, and
the field was hard enough to work, it
was found that enough of the flax was
left in the bolls on the plant to make
it worth while to harvest it. While a
large part of the crop was lost by
Smelling, the owner figures that he
made profit by his April harvest.
While that is the only record Of
harvest of small grain" this spring
in that section, there has geen a large
amount of corn husked, which was
covered by snow before 1t could be
gathered last year, and stayed out in
the field all winter.

DITCH CONTRACT GIVEN.
Belle Fourche Project to Furnish
Water by july 1.

Water by July I.
s. R. b. Robinson, who has had
the contract for the diversion dam,
has been awarded the contract for
sixteen miles of ditch in connection
with the Belle Fourche irrigation
project. This work will be between
the Orman & Crook contract and the
town of Vale and the value of the con-
tract is between 100000 and $500. 900.
Mr.. Robinson will commence put
ting in the concrete work at the diver
sion dam this week, and it is thought
that the dam will be completed within
from thirty to forty days. BY that time
the inlet canal will be completed so
that farmers whose farms will be
watered by laterals from the inlet
canal will receive water by the first Of
July. About 10000 acres Of land will
be put under irrigation at that time.
! A force of men is at work at the big
dam, and three camps have been estab-
lished along the south canal between
the dam and the Belle Fourche river.
Considerable excavating is being done,
and the actual work at the big dam
will be pushed. The little narrow
gauge railroad which is to be used for
the transportation of gravel and other
material is under construction, but ow-
ing to the delay in obtaining rails it
is not yet completed.

CLEANER CITY is LOGAN.

CorteIyou, Mayor-EIect of Sisseton, Is
Pledged to Reform Cause.
There is every good reason to be-
lieve that Sisseton has embarked upon
a truly reform era. The result of the
vote on the license question fairly as
tonish both sides. But many influ.
ences had been working to turn the
scale in favor Of temperance town.
A night Waterman, who believed it his
duty to be useful as we'll as orna-
mental, uncovered some of the dark
places which were being fostered by
the saloon element. Some of his dis
closures were sensational and turned
many men toward anti-license and a
cleaner town who heretofore had been
out-and-out opponents of a license pol
icy.
H. L. Cortelyou, the mayor-elect, is
under pledge in the platform on which
he made his canvass to Danish all
"blind pigs" and "bootleggers' and to
stop all illegal sales of liquor by any
person, high or low, in the city. He is
under promise to see to it that every
policeman does his full duty in en-
forcing the ordinances Of the city.
IT will not tolerate any policeman"
he says, who drinks on duty or
shields lawlessness or vice in any
form I will do all in my power to
make this city safe and proper place
in which parents can bring up their
children. I will see to it that the
streets are kept free from drunken
ness and rowdyism."

A Little Talk on Lawns

The gardener who is an artist paints
picture with his flowers and shrubs;
and the lawn is the canvas on which
he paints. TO be successful he must
therefore prepare his canvas we'll.
The first thing to be done in placing
a proper lawn is to grade the ground,
smoothing rough places, giving the
proper level stretches and gentle
slopes. This work varies with the size
of the lot to be treated. II possible
the lawn should slope from the sides
OF the house. The grading should be
done SO as to distribute evenly all
surface water, avoiding the formation
of little runs which might produce
washouts.
II the soil Is poor it should be en-
riched by liberal supply Of well rot
ted manure, bone meal, or other good
fertilizer Manure sometimes con-
tains the seeds of weeds, otherwise it
is one of the best fertilizers. The
ground should be plowed or. spaded
not less than eight inches deep, re-.
moving all stones and similar mate
rial, and the surface made as smooth
as possible. Then it is ready for SOW
ing.
One of the best mixtures for the
lawn is four parts Of Kentucky blue
grass with one part white clover sown
not less than five bushels per acre.
Equally good results are usually OBJ.
tanned by the use Of Red Top in place
Of the blue grass. or with equal parts
of Red Top and blue grass and lit
tie white clover. When moisture is
plentiful the blue grass forms
softer turf than the. Red Top, but does
not seem to endure drought as well.
Grass may be sown at any time OF
the year except January and Febru-
airy. Il is impossible to name atime
which is best for making the lawn.
SO much depends on the weather. IL
is best not to be saving OF the seed
but to be prepared to resoM in places
in which the first sowing comes U
sthinlY.

CONDITIONS REVERSED.

Company Which Insisted on Premium
Refuses to Pay Loss After Fire.
An insurance case was presented be-
fore the supreme court the past week
which will be watched with more than
usual interest by insurance men of the
country. The case is that Of L. L.
Nordness VS.. the Mutual Cash Guar
anty Company Of Sioux Falls Nord-
ness was doing a mercantile business
at Waubay, and an application was
sent to the home Office of the Cash
Guaranty company for policy of ST.
600 on the stock. The policy was writ
ten to go into effect Aug 1. Nordness
returned the policy to the home office
OF the company with the statement
that he had not made application for
any insurance with the company and
did not want it. 1t was again sent to
him with letter from the company to
the effect that the application had
been made, and the policy issued on
the same, and demand for the
amount of premium due upon the pol
Icy. A second time Nordness sent
back the policy with his refusal to &C.
cept it, and third time the company
sent in the policy, this time by regis
tered letter, with its letter insisting
that the policy had been ordered, and
was considered in force This regis
tered letter reached Nordness on the
28th OF August, and the previous night
a fire had destroyed the stock Of goods
In question. Nordness at once mailed
to the company a draft for the amount
OF the premium. On the receipt of his
claim for loss the company refused to
pay on the ground that the policy had
not been paid for at the time Of the
fire, and other reasons, but the lower
court gave Nordness Judgment for the
amount of the policy. The case now
comes to the supreme court on appeal.

Much Construction Of Residences and
Public Buildings.

The woes of the house hunter in
Pierre are to be reduced as fast as the
contractors can push their work. For
the last year the securing Of residence
property without an outright purchase
has been practically impossible. AL
ready this spring thirty residences are
under way, with contracts let for
enough more to reach over hundred
for the summer. When the years work
is completed it will show larger
growth in the way Of building in the
city than for many years.
Besides this private work there will
be 100000 spent at Pierre this year
in the way of public and railroad build
ings, the railroad having completed
plans for the expenditure of 100000
in that way, with possible expendit-
ure Of 100000 more on the state capt.
toll. The school board also will be
compelled to build at least one, if not
two, new buildings this year.
