BAD MAN KILLED
He Attempted to Terrorize Ambrose.
N. D., and Was Shot.

/ Ambrose, n. D., May 29.-In a
pitched battle here between an en-
ragged populace on the one hand and
desperate known as ''Dutch," on
the other, the latter was shot through
the head and fell dead from his horse.
"Dutch'' rode his broncho into a
blindpig and while still seated in his
saddle demanded that he be served
with the best and strongest the place
contained. Every demand was pune
tuated with shot from his revolver
through the floor or ceiling. Under
the circumstances the proprietor of
the place could not do enough for his
mwelcome visitor. "Dutch' could
have had the whole stock had he ask
ed it at the point of his gun.
Leaving the blindpig the desperate
began shooting at other buildings and
hurting defiance at citizens who were
in sight. A random shot pierced the
hand of J. A. Lipphardt, editor of the
local paper, and L. S. Todd, an attor-
ney, was 4aved from serious injury
only by the timely assistance of a
Mr.. Ness. stThere was cry to arms
and in five minutes dozen rifles and
shotguns were replying to the volley
of the lawless "Dutch." 1t was all
over in another five minutes. Fort
unately the coroner has only the body
Of the aggressor upon which to sit
and return a verdict.

STUDY BEEF RATiONS.
The Only Way to Grow Cattle at
Profit.

If there was ever time in the hts:
tory of cattle raising when ,stockman
needed to study the matter of cattlGs
rations it is now. The prices for all
kinds of concentrated feeds are high
and there seems little likelihood that
they will go lower if the cattlemen
continue to feed them in the SAME
quantities in which they, have previ-
ously been fed. If they can be substi-
tutcd by anything and less used, that
fact alone will reduce the price to the
feeders Cd.
On the other hand it does not pay
to swing too far in the direction of
the rOughage, as much of the cheaper
kinds of roughage have too large & a
proportion of fiber to be of very much
use for feeding. Straw, however. good
it may be for bedding and for other
uses, is not an economical feed. The
bulk is too great for the nourtsh-
ment it contains.
No general rule, says Farmers Re-
view, can be laid down as to what a
ration should be to be both reasonable
in cost and effective in USE That is
made impossible by the fact of the tire
mendous differences in conditions in
different localities. 1t is the reason
why we say study beef rations" and
do not attempt to give a panacea,
suitable for all climes and conditions.

congress will adjourn late this week

Speaker Cannon's victory" is de.

the passage of the bill in the house
today was by vote more creditable
to him as house dictator than what

LOCKED IN REFRIGERATOR CAR.
Tramp Nearly Loses His Life After
Doors Are Fastened.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-A tramp who
crawled into an empty refrigerator
car in the Sioux Falls yards of the
Rock Island Railroad company had an
experience which he will not care to
repeat, and which nearly resulted in
his death. After the tramp had
crawled into the car, and while he
was asleep. the yardmen had occasion
to switch the car on another track.
One of the yardmen noticed that
one of the doors of the refrigerator
car was slightly open, and as a pre-
caution to prevent an accident, the
door was closed and fastened, and
the supposed empty car was placed
upon another track, which CHANGED
to be siding in a remote part of
the yard,
More than "a hours later one of the
yardmen was passing in the vicinity
of the refrigerator Gag and heard a
sound, which sesembled muffled
voice. While looking about in differ
ent. directions with the object of dis
covering from whence the mysterious
sound proceeded, his attention was at
tracted by u moving stick, which pro-
truded from the side of one of the
doors of the refrigerator car.
The yardman went to the door and
opened it, and found the tramp in an
almost lifeless condition. 1t took
some time for him to recover suf-
ficiently to relate what had befallen
| him.

Port Jervis, N. Y.-Modern stories
of women hoboes pale before the his
tory of Lucy Ann Lobdell Slater who
subsequently sent to the poorhouse,
where she died of old age, recently.
A family named Lobdell lived in
Delaware county, New York. They
dwelt in cabin in the woods, where
Lucy Ann was born. From the time
the girl was old enough to walk she
was a great favorite among the hardy
woodchoppers and raftsmen. They oft
en- took her to the logging camp,
where she remained for days at
time, and early became Injured to the
hardships and privations of their life.
The lumbermen were all good hunt
ers, and before Lucy was eight years
old they had taught her the use of the
rifle. At the age Of II she could out
shoot any Of the men and handled the
ak with the dexterity of an old wood
chopper. Before she was 16 she had
killed several deer, and once slew a
panther on one of her hunting en-
ploits. The skin of the animal is in
possession of a former sheriff OF
Wayne county.
A few years later she married a
raftsman named Henry Slater. Slater
proved worthless husband and neg
lected his wife. A year after they
were married Mrs. Slater gave birth
to daughter. Slater deserted the
child and it's mother and never re-
turned.
The unhappy young wife went back
to her parents. After vainly trying
for two years to get along by doing
women's work, she donned masculine
garb and. taking her rifle, went into
the woods to earn a living for herself
and child. For eight years she

Chester, Pa.-Miss Alice Wood

heroine of Oak Hill. She was on her
way home from visit to friends in

Quickly taking off her coat, Miss
Wood stood in the center OF the high

neared the plucky girl they reared on
their launches. Nothing daunted, Miss

gradually receding to prevent the
horses from stepping on her.

She Had Cabins in Various Places.

Delaware counties, New York, and
Wayne and Pike counties, Pennsyl-
vania. She had cabins in various
places, and would return home not
more than once year, and only ap-
peared in the settlements to sell her
game and skins and to procure ammu-
milton.
Shattered physically and mentally,
she appeared at Basket Station and
resumed woman's clothing. She said
that in the eight years of her expert
ence as hunter she killed 100 deer,
II bears, numerous wildcats and
foxes, besides trapping hundreds of
mink and other fur-bearing animals.
She had hand-to-hand contests with
both wounded deer and bears, as ugly
seams and scars upon her body amply
testified
For two or three years after her re-
turn the woman led a mendicant sort
of life through the valley, and finally
entered the poorhOuse at Delhi.
In the spring of 1865 young woman
was put off passenger train at Bias

was taken to the poorhouse at Delhi.
There she met Mrs. Slater, and an at
tachment sprang up between the two.
The two women left the poorhouse
the following year. The next summer
party of fishermen discovered two
strange persons living in a cave in
Barrett township, Monroe county
Pennsylvania. Soon thereafter there
appear in one of the villages a man
carrying rife and leading half
grown bear. Accompanying him was
a woman about 25 years old, who he
said was his wife.
For two years these Migrants wan
dered about the county. At last they
were arrested and lodged in Jail

the supposed man was a woman. They
were Mrs. Slater and Mrs. Wilson, The
authorities sent them to the aims
house whence they came, but the two
women did not stay there long. The
next winter found them living in {
| cabin ten miles from Honesdale. They
wandered into the town one day, were
arrested and again sent to the aims
house, where they both died recently
