A CoWardIy Marder

The Humboldt Star gives the follow
ing particulars of the murder of Deputy
Sheriff Larllin, as told by Floyd Nc
! Reynolds, foreman of the Kings river
ranch, who was an eye witness:
The murder occurred about o'clock
Saturday afternoon. Deputy Sheriff
Larkin and John Saval, one of the
county's prominent sheepmen, had ar
rived at the ranch about an hour be-
fore, Larkin being on official business
connected with the service of papers in
suit brought by Saval against aSheep-
man living near the ranch. After hay
ing dinner, Larkin and McReynolds
started from the house to go to the
barn, Saval remaining behind to put on
his overshoes. When they were about
half way between the ranch house and
the barn, Barr, who had evidently been
concealed behind an outbuilding, STEP
ped out and commenced shooting. He
fired three shots and Larkin fell NOR
tally wounded but as he fell he drew
his revolver and fired one shot at the
assassin, but without effect. Mercy
nolds, who was close to Larkin when he
fell, started to run, but Barr com
manded him to stop and threatened to
Kill him If he made an offensive move
Barr, gun i'll hand, then went into the
ranch house and took possession of all
the guns there. Then he went to the
barn, selected the best saddle horse on
the ranch, and turned all the other
horses out. Mounting the animal, the
desperate rode away in the direction of
China creek and the Oregon line. but
before going he warned the men ON the
ranch that he would kill anyone who
tried to follow him or to leave for town
to notify the officers.
AS soon as McReynolds could catch q
horse he started for Winnemucca. Rid.
ing all night, he reached Toll House
early Sunday morning and telephoned
III to Sheriff Lamb the facts of the kill
ing. McReynolds did not know where
or how many times Larkin was shot,
but presumably the bullets took effect
In his back, as Barr shot from behind.

of the cloth on this inside lining, as
you will need to wipe it off TO clean
1t occasionally, sew up the seam, the

necessary. Instruct your milkman to

Authentic Figures on Silver and Lead Prices


Since the publication of what was
purported to be the lowest price of
silver accurate data has been secured
The papers making the statement said
the low mark of 433 cents per ounce
was reached in 1908. From records of
the American Smelling & Refing COM
pany it is learned that AZ cents was the
lowest quotation made in New York,
time the local selling basis for lead was
$3.50 per 100 pounds and for copper the
quoted price was III cents per pound
for casting brands. The lowest quoted
price for lead on a basis of $265 per 100
pound in August 1897. At the same
time silver was quoted at G44 cents per
ounce. ..-
AT different times during the ups and
downs of the market in these metals,
prices have been made on the New
York metal exchange that were at
great variance with the prices ut which
actual business was done and the quota
tions of the Engineering & Mining
Journal were often called into question,
as u result. That paper was frequently
called upon to defend the prices it
quoted and it invariably made good by
showing that It'll quotations were backed
by actual bona fed sales of the metal,
while the metal exchange quotations
were made without regard to what was
being done by the real dealers in the
metals.

Attention, Parents
To THE PARENTS OBJ THE PUPILS OF
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL:

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL:
DEAR PARENT
Do you wish your child to be at the
head of his class, or are you satisfied
with mediocre work? His teacher
believes that you desire him to be
second to none. Now, dear parent, can
he excel if you permit him to attend
shows, ETC. on school nights? Is his
mind in condition TO do his best if he
has been up until after his usual bed
time? Seriously now, have you a right
to expect him to do we'll under such
conditions? Then why not do your
part by seeing that his physical and
mental condition is the best possible.
Come and visit his classes and thus
show him and his teacher that you are
interested in the welfare of the school.

The Pioneer is informed that
some prejudiced people are stating
that an effort is being made by this
paper to conceal the notice calling
for special election in this school
district on the proposition for new
school building, by inserting the
notice in an obscure position in the
paper.
This statement is absolutely with
out any foundation. The first day
that the notice was inserted it was
given prominence on the first page
of the paper, and since then it has
been published on the third (locaD

will be found on the first page, next

contemplating to settle on govern
ment land in the northern part of
Beltrami county.
Sometime ago the vascilating de-
partment at Washington withdrew
from entry the lands on the coded
Indian lands where the federal
drainage survey was bel n G
made, temporarily, until the survey
was completed. This temporary
withdrawal of the land has worked
untold injury in the matter of secur-
ing settlers for that part of northern
Minnesota which is adjacent to the
Red Lake Indian reservation; and
as large bodies move slowly" (and
the departments at Washington
move more slowly than any other
institution supposed to have human
beings looking after it's workings)
there would undoubtedly have been
untold delay in getting the lands
opened again to entry.
1t is the general opinion that the
order temporarily withdrawing the
lands from entry and settlement
should never have been made, as the
work of surveying was not in any man
ner interferred with, land settlers were
more than willing to make entries
despite the general demand for drain
age of these government lands.
That the bill introduced by Con-
gresham Steenesson will hasten the
cancellation of the removal order
there is no doubt, which will be
good news for our northern neigh
bors. And Mr.. Stevenson is deserv-
ing of much praise for his speedy
action in the matter.

St. Paul Pioneer Press: Con-
tracts for drainage work aggregat
ing $4,000 will be awarded by the
state drainage commission this
morning. Bids for the work were
opened yesterday afternoon by the
commission which will have another
meeting at II a.. m. today. Some of
the bids Econtained special pro-
visions so that the commission will
have to 60 over them in detail, but
in most cases the lowest bidder will
get the contract.
The commission was greatly
pleased with the number and char
acter of the bids received and
George A. Ralph, engineer of the
commission, last night said that the
total would run about II per cent
lower than his estimate. The high
est price that will be paid in any
contract is 10 cents per cubic yard
which is considered very low for the
class of work to be done. This
price includes the clearing of the
right of way, which means consider
able work as the bitches are through
timbered country, in St. Louis,
Koochiching, Itasca and Beltrami
counties. 1t also includes the con-
struction of roads along the entire
length of the bitches. The drain
age bitches in most cases follow the
section lines and by using the dirt
excavated for building roads, a way
will be opened through the swamp
country very easily.
The contracts will also specify
that all the work is to be finished
in 1908. The state is to pay about
$4,000 of the cost, this being for
assessments upon state lands. The
remainder is paid by property
owners along the drains. The
highest assessments paid by the
state is 81 per acre, while some
are as low as rs cents. The esti-
mated benefits from the bitches
are $25O,OOO.
