TO END THE WAR
Yaqui Indians Are Reported As Being
 Anxious to Stop Warfare.

Attorney D. A Richardson of Doug Ia wn- in Disbee last evening from Hermosillo where he has been on min. ng business: In speaking about the Yaqui tuation which was most seri- us ir fhe vicinity of the Sonora capital, NIT. Richardson said that there is now no trouble and that the people in the outskirts of the town are nov ing about the country without being molested. Americans who have been in the city waiting to get out are now leaving for the mires in the surround ing country Ssys the Miner: While there has been no formal truce entered into between the Tn. diane and the soldiers there seems to be cessation of hostiIities on the par. of the Yaquis during the past few days. Whether this is the calm be- fore the storm or the Indians really mean to apply for permanent pescs can not be sard just now although i, is reported that the Yaquis are agair anxious to end the war.

they were sincere.
In answer to the claim that Lee
will poll big Scandinavian vote,
the republicans say that four-fifths
of the Scandinavians have been re-
publicans for eight years, that near
ly all them supported the successful
republican candidates in the primary
and that it is well known many of
them were in the fusion party when
Lee was first elected. Further,
numerous candidates for legislature
on the republican ticket are Scan
dinanvian, and, if the democratic
nationality argument is accepted,
the republicans claim it will be SIM
ply impossible for the democrats to
elect majority of legislature and
thus defeat Crawford. The repub-
licans claim. further, that the two
factions have been brought together
and that the party will be firmly
cemented by the eventualities Of the
next few weeks.

One Hand Co. Farm

Huron Herald. C. W. Abel re-
turned day or two ago from Hand
county, where he visited the G. H.
Carroll farm southwest of Miller.
which has wide reputation as one
of the best conducted and best pay
ing farm properties in the west.
The farm is Of 2600 acres, all un-
der fence. This years crop consists
in part of 400 acres Of wheat which
Mr. Abel thinks will yield around 20
bushels per acre. and 320 acres of
corn all in one field. which promises
to be a big crop. The corn has been
cultivated in genuine Carroll man.
ner, there not being a weed in the
field, and the corn now is in the silk.
There are 500 head Of steers on
the place. some of which will be
turned of this tall, and which will
average better than 1900 pounds
each.
Mr Carroll has IT'S fine horses and
colts all raised on the farm.
The place is watered by an artes-
ian we'll and an ever flowing spring
of almost ice cold water, which
yields as much water as the two inch
artesian well.
Last year grain and stock Of the
value of $25, 600 was sold from this
farm. and this year the output will
equal or exceed last years record.
What has been accomplished by
Mr. Carroll with his farm is merely
an example of what may be done in
South Dakota when farming is re-
duced to a science and prosecuted
in business like manner. The
little farm titled well will pay just
as well or better than the large one.
Mr. Carroll's farm is not for sale.

CASUALTIES AT
WESSINGTON
One man Killed By Train,
Another BY Sunstroke

Washington Times-While endeav-
oring evidently to steal ride an
unknown man jumps on the pilot of
an engine yesterday and tried to get
on a gravel car which was coupled
ahead Of the engine and the train
moving backward, he slipped and
fell under the car, one pair of trucks
passing over his body dragging him
the full length of the main crossing
where several witnessed the sad
accident
When taken from under the train
he was found horribly mangled, his
lower limbs being severed one at the
hip the other below the knee. The
right hand was also cut off at the
wrist. He was taken to the Hotel
Dake, where he died in few min
utes. 1t is reported he is known
around Broadland and that he has a
wife and two children in Oklahoma.
A man. whose name is somewhat
Of mystery. who hired to work for
William Sass on Turtle Creek, died
last Sunday from the effects of sun
stroke. The name of John Busch,
SO West Madison street, Chicago,
was written in a little vest pocket
memorandum book and grip was
found with his belongings which
contained letters addressed to Will
liam S. Harmon, from parties sup
posed to be relatives, living in Mich
igan. The man shipped here from
Chicago and stated that he never
worked on a farm before in his life
and was very anxious to keep his end
up. The fact of the excessive heat
last Saturday and the work being
new to him was the cause of his
death A telegram was sent to
Chicago but no answer was re-
ceived. Letters have been sent to
the parties in Michigan and it is to
be hoped that some trace of his rel
atives may be found. 49,.
The Washington papers report an
other stabbing affray in the railroad
camp near there recently. The cul-
prit was taken to Huron to await
trial.

First Prairie Fire

The first prairie fire of the season
occurred west of town, as usual.
Every year south wind and putting

will do the business. 1t would seem
that the railroad would make stren-

Among losers on account of the fire
were G. H. Carroll. hay on rented

THRESHERS' TELL
THE CROP STORY
Machines Grinding Out the new
Crop, and Elevators busy

With rush seldom if ever before
equalled the steam thresher is reduc-
ing surmise to actual fact in neigh
boring fields. and the story of yield
is being rapidly recorded at local
elevators.
That more interest centers in
the one crop Of wheat than all others
is fact patent to any observer.
This may be due to the further fact
that it is the great food staple upon
which the worlds SPECTATORS center
for action. That other crops may
be good, bad, or Indifferent, attracts
about as much excitement and con.
versation as that which occurs be-
tween a man and his own wife when
they are out riding alone.
Train loads of fat cattle, hogs and
horses are whizzing by Miller daily
for market, but we turn away from
them to look at the proud possessor
of the latest automobile as he spins
by with look of concentration that
would hypnotic anything in range
from snorting motorcycle to Tom
my Grants mule.
But wheat is the arc light around
which we all fiutter. hence all other
products are just commonplace
things of life-necessary, yes, but
not thrilling.
So we must know the yield per
acre, the quality, and the price be-
cause there is more opportunity for
thrilling change of scene in wheat
than there is in being a stalwart or
insurgent.
But the yield? Well let the ma
chimes tell it, and quit guessing:
Fiftysix acres on the Dennis Coun-
Than farm two miles west of Miller,
threshed out 20 bushels and Abs per
acre of wheat that weighed out 62fbs
to the bushel. If sold on the market
at Miller today it would bring ga
cents, or close to S19 per acre.
On the Miller Bros. farm one mile
southwest of the city, John Babbit
threshed out 18 bushels per acre on
a AZ acre field.
N. G. Lowell on the Waters farm
south of town reports a portion of
his crop of wheat at 20 bushels per
acre. This was his best field, and
the number of acres was not given.
A field of oats on the d. MacMahon
farm southwest of town threshed
out 38 bushels per acre, weighing
40ibs per bushel.
j. G.. Wilson on the Gerhard farm
reports % bushels of wheat per acre
Moncur Bros, of Alpha twp, re-
port an 18 bushel yield on thirty
FIVE acre fed
Mr. Burgett, of Miller twp. gives
in yield of l3 bushels on a thirty
acre field.
Chas. Thomson, of the Red Elevat-
or estimates an increase of 40 per
cent in the grain yield in Miller's
territory over that of 1907.
