Guns Not Used.

The report of experts who made the mi
croscopic examination of shells picked
up in Brownsville Identified one lot OF
these shells as having been fired from
one of the guns known to have been in
the arms chests.
All of the guns, he said, were inspected
the following morning when drill roll was
called, and the ammunition was inspected
as we'll.
Lieutenant Lawrason told the commit
tee that he satisfied himself that no guns
of his company had been used the night
before, and that the men had all of their
ammunition.
Senator Foraker called for the six bull
let's taken from the walls in Brownsville,
and sent to the committee as a part of
the public testimony. He had the bullets
laid before the witness and Mr.. Lawrason
examined them closely, but could not tell
whether they were fired from a SPRING
field or Krag rifle. The senator called
for the report of the experts who ex-
amined the thirty-three shells offered in
evidence in the message of President
Roosevelt to the Senate. and which were
picked IN in Brownsville. First the sena-
tor took up the group of shells which bore
evidence of having been extracted from
a rifle or rifles more than once, as IL
they had failed in one rifle and then fired
in another. Lieutenant Lawrason said
that while on the rifle range at Fort Mo
brara the guns were new and the bolts
of the guns cased in oil, and that fire.
quently they missed fire there. He said
after this oil was wiped out, and the men
had got used to the new guns there
had been no more trouble.
The witness explained that shells picked
up ON the range are saved and recapped,
and are then shipped back to the arsenal.
He said that at Fort Niobrara there was
something wrong with Company BIS re-
capper and the shells, more than thou
sand in number, were put in box and
shipped to Fort Brown, to be re-capped
there He did not know what had become
of the box after the arrival of the com

been awakened by the firing, and of his
effort to get the company formed amid
the confusion attending the call to arms,
as well as a number of the matters on
which all of the members of Company B
had been examined. He said that he had
posted his men along the wall in the rear
of the barracks at the order of Major
Penrose
Senator Foraker asked the witness if
the men could have cleaned their guns
while stationed along the wall. Lawra-
son thought this would have been mpos-
sibe
According to his story, on direct exam
ination Lawrason was with his company
along the wall for about two and half
hours when they were dismissed by the
command of Major Penrose, who first
gave instructions to Lawrason to see
that all of the company guns were locked
in the racks, and that all of the guns
not in use were accounted for.
Lawrason saw the guns placed in the
racks and the racks locked after which
lie had carefully verified the count Then
he called his quartermaster sergeant
Walker McCurdy and went to the store
house. Lawrason called for the arms
chests, and they were found as he had
previously testified at the Penrose court
martial at San Antonio, under iron hunks
iron bars for the support of mosquito
netting and other property. He detailed
TO the committee his Impressions of the
arms chests which contained all of the
reserve rifles, as well as three company
shotguns. He told the committee that he
was sure he would have detected it if
any of the rifles had been missing. and he
was equally sure that the chests had not
been tempered with since they were
packed

LUNCHES TO FARMERS.
Pointers and Advice by Farmers About Sowing
Late Spring Crops.

In talking with several prominent
farmers and implement men who have
watched crop conditions in the county
and this state in general, we gathered
the following pertinent suggestions
which may be of benefit to the man who
sows and reaps:
It's the farmer who plans his work so
that things go smoothly who makes
both ends meet and enjoys his work.
It's the farmer who pays strict at
tention to details who has the most attrac
tive buildings and home surroundings.
It's the farmer who prepared his fields
for spring crop last fall who feels most
contented with the late spring.
It's the farmer who had the blowing
done before winter set in who will have
his crop in soon enough to benefit from
the fine weather that is sure to come
when seeding operations begin.
It's the farmer who sows none but
clean gram of high grade who will wear
the broadest smile next fall when tie
threshers are busy.
It's the farmer who treats his seed
grain thoroughly with bluestone or for
malin who will not worry when other:
complain of the ravages of smut later in
the season.
It's the farmer who kills as man,
weeds as possible early in the season
who will not have weeds instead of grar
to handle during harvest
It's the farmer eho has beauttied bis
home surroundings with trees. shrub
and plants who will not be ashamed o
his home when neighhor of 10y gone
years visits him
It's the farmer with the heautifu
home who enjoys farm life and is
credit to the farming community of tn
prairie provinces.

NO RAILROAD
THIS YEAR.
COMPLETION of Farmers Railroads I'm
possible This Year.
NOT ABLFTO GET TIES.

The Preliminary Surveys Will be Made at Once
and Grades Built This Summer But Track
Laying Will Have to be Abandoned Until An
other Year Owing to Scarcity of Railroad
Ties Work Going Right Ahead Just Same.
The branch lines of railroad to have
been built through the northeastern
and southeastern parts of Cavalier
county during the present summer will,
it is quite likely, have to be abandoned
for this year. The reason is the in
ability to secure ties. Last week, on his
return from trip to the lumber dis
tricts of northern Minnesota, Manager
Thos. Campbell, of the cement mines,
who is the leading promoter of the far
mers road to be built between Mclean
post Office in this county and the town
Of Edinburg, reported that he was un-
able to purchase a single tie. The en-
tire output for the season has been sold
several months in advance. Oak and
tamarack ties are being sold to fill orders
of last year for 53 cents each. He says
that even the big railroads will be un-
able to secure what they need in build
ing proposed extensions. Both the
North Dakota Railway, in the south
east and the Union Railway, in the
northeast parts of the county have
sufficient stock subscribed to warrant
the start in building being made this
year, but will have to abandon the idea
so far as track laying is concerned on
this account 1t is understood however,
that preliminary surveys will be made
at once. with view to having the grade
built during the summer, so that by an
other year, the track laying and com
pletion of the road bed can be pushed
to an early completion. The officials Of
both these roads have under cousidera
tion the suggestion of having RAILROAD
ties made out of timber that is to be
found along the banks of the Pembins
river, it being estimated that there j:
plenty there to supply the needs of botl
lines.
