Engineer Litch Has Settlement
With Road

Engineer c. D. Litch has made a
settlement with the Northern Paci-
fic for his injuries sustained in the
Allard wreck last summer. The set
tlement was made while Mr.. Litch
was in st. Paul a short time ago and
was effected without litigation or
the aid from attorneys. Mr.. Litch is
perfectly satisfied and states that
the railroad company has done
everything for him that he could
ask.
It goes without saying that the
Northern Pacific gave this faithful
engineer a large sum of money.
Under the circumstances, it was
expected. The company. however,
does not feel that Mr.. Litch was IN
reasonable. Dickinson Press.

Denial Made

Washington, June 6.-Emphatic
denial was entered today at the Tur-
klsh embassy to reports that 10000
or 1000 persons had been killed in
the recent troubles in Asiatic Tur-
key. It was declared that unusual
efforts are being made to punish
those responsible for the disorders.
Deep regret was expressed that
exaggerated reports have been
printed in certain newspapers con-
cerning disorders. In contradiction
to the reports, it is stated that the
last official news showed that the
number of victims would not ex-
ceed 1000.
The minister of the interior has
asked for the appropriation of $780,
600 to aid the victims, it is stated,
but the government on its own re-
sponsibility has sent $4,000 inn
mediately to the victims.
Following the examples set in the
punishment of those responsible for
the outbreak in Constantinople on
April 13, another court-martial has
been established in Adana. it was
to try those responsible
for the trouble.

PARIS GIBSON.
Ex-U. S. Senator, Mont.
Street Meetings Popular

Billings, Mont, May %. That the
people of southwestern Kansas are
deeply interested in the work of the
Dry Farming Congress is shown by
the fact that at Syracuse, Kansas,
weekly street meetings are being
held at which the gospel of dry farm
ing is preached by practical farmers.
This idea was. conceived and is being
carried out by G. R. Hickok, editor
Of the Syracuse News and a member
Of the executive committee of. the Dry
Farming Congress, and Henry Block
of Syracuse, an enthusiastic member
Of the Congress.
These gentlemen have started an
active campaign for the conversion Of
the Sunfower state to dry farming
and are working in the face of much
prejudice with gratifying success.
While the southwestern part Of the
state has seen the success of dry
farming methods demonstrated, the
balance Of Kansas is filled with doubt
ers who must be shown.
You will understand our position
here, writes Mr.. Hickok. We
have only a narrow strip in the wes-
tern end Of the state that will admit
that we need these methods in Kansas.
The balance of the state is not in
sympathy with US to any great extent.
We have first to convert our own
people and this is the task we have
set for ourselves. We are trying in
every way to convince Kansas that the
best thing for all concerned is to come
into the open and say that the Wes-
tern end Of the state must use scien-
tific dry farming methods If it is 60

CONDITIONS
STILL SERIOUS
Asia Minor Continues in Turbulent State as
Result Of Strong Race Prejudices.

Beirut. May 16.- is evident tha
conditions everywhere in Asia Minol
are far from settled and that it vii
take time and a government much
stronger than the present one te
make it possible for people to &c
about their labors with safety.
After the terrible massacres and
the pillage and burning Of Adana, a
new vail and new troops were sent
from Constantinople. Much was ex-
pected Of them, but they have done
little to improve conditions.
The inefficiency Of the government
is seen and felt everywhere. Six
thousand troops and hundreds Of
officers swarm about Adana and eat
up the best there is to be had. Re-
lief committees are compelled to
send into the country for the COM
monest food supplies.
The work of relief at Adana is be-
ing pushed as far as means will al
low. At present in the big camp
there are IA, 800 persons on the ra-
ton list, while ], 400 more are draw
ing daily rations from the home of
one of the missionaries.
The unfortunates have been herd
ed together in rags and squalor,
huddling under inadequate shelter
TO protect themselves from the heat,
at night to protect themselves from
the cold because Of insufficient COW
ering. Under such conditions there
are in this camp today hundreds Of
children with measles. In one hospi-
tai alone there are more than 500
wounded.
Crops in the Adana region are
ripe and unless they are gathered
soon famine inevitably will result.

It Actually Can Be Done

During the past 20 years / have
annually cultivated from SO to 800
acres OF land in Cascade county, de-
pending wholly on the natural mois-
ture, and from my Indifferent meth
DDS Of farming | have learned that
the possibilities of farming on the
rich, mellow lands of northern
Montana are almost without limit.
During this time have never failed
to grow on summer falloWed land in
the driest years We have had in all
this time, a crop Of wheat consider
ably larger than the average wheat
crop OF Minnesota or North Dakota.
| regret that [ did not sooner as
certain by practical tests the advan-
tages that can be derived from grow
ing alfalfa without irrigation. For
while this wonderful plant possesses
a value unequalled for forage pur-
poses, thus opening the broadest
field for the dairy interest here, it
will, in my opinion, through its fer
tlllzing properties, place the agri-
culture of the west on more pro-
fitable and enduring basis than it
could otherwise occupy. Farming
without an irrigating ditch in Mon
tana, would have been much farth-
er advanced but for the determined
efforts Of many persons to decry it,
thus turning immigration to other
parts of the far west. These persons,
for the time, have also done much
to retard an advance in land values,
and especially the value Of produc-
tive but non-irrigated farms. But
the tide of the western immigration
is ceaseless and in spite of opposi-
ton where the hand of welcome
should be given it will cover all the
vest.

From Baghche it is reported that

He cut Dr.. Hayes a deep cash on
the neck, stabbed him over the heart
and practically disenboweled him.
The terrified Workmen rushed for
the door. but Murphy ran after
them, slashing right and left. Every
man whom he struck went down.
The crowd plunged downstairs,
with Murphy after them, and at
every landing he cut somebody.
On the second floor one Of the

men came to assist the Workmen
and Murphy was given a fearful
beating before he finally was over
powered.
Murphy is 50 years old, weighs
200 pounds and was regarded as
one Of the strongest men in the

pig killing for some years by the
North company.

a large acreage in this western coun-

''The Syracuse Commercial club
spent some hundreds of dollars in the
last two years for the spread of the
dry farming gospel. It has determined
to hold fair this fall before the

in the very best exhibit that can be
made up from the products of south
western Kansas. This will include the
section south Of the Missouri Pacific
railway and west Of Dodge City.
Every Saturday afternoon we
hold street meeting in the interest
Of dry farming. If an out Of town
man Of any prominence comes along,
we grab him for short talk. Other
times we have talks by local men, in
cluding the men who have been farm
ing most successfully. The meetings
are short and they are getting up a
good interest.
.With US it IS a matter of making
our settlers prosperous and eontented.
We are thoroughly convinced that
these methods will do it and they
alone.

Charles Gore Not Guilty OF Charge

A case which has much interest
among stockmen and friends Of the
parties, was tried at Miles City last
week, that of the state of Montana
VS. Charles Gore for larceny. 1t was
alleged that Gore took and drove
away two four-year-old heifers, the
property Of Harve Robinson Of Sen
tinel Butte, taking them to his place
at the Switzerland ranch near Carl
yle, in Custer county, and butchered
them there. selling the meat after
wards at Carlyle.
The jury brought in a verdict Fri
day afternoon Of last week Of not
guilty. In the first trial the jury dis
agreed.
Mr.. Robinson was one of the chief
witnesses fer the state. He testl-
fed that he was a banker and a
stockman and owned the @ II trlan-
gle brand. He had about SO head Of
cattle bearing that brand running
on the Cannon Ball. He stated that
he had never sold nor given away
any Of these cattle, except a single
shipment to Chicago.
Mr.. Gore testified in his own de-
fense and said that he bought the
two cattle from stranger, trading
a horse for them with $40 to boot.
He said:
When we butchered the sbeeves
cut out the middle OF each hide.
from neck to tail, q strip Of the.
skin to make quirts Of. I rolled these
strips together and took them up TO

Coal Washer At Storrs, Built At
Cost OF 5000, 600, Burned By
Incendiaries

BoZeman, June 5.-F'jre at Storrs
II miles east Of this city, presumably
OF lncendiary origin, early this morn
ing totally destroyed the big Goa.
washer of the Washoe Copper com
Ipany's plant, which was built at a
cost of about 5000, 600. Nearly 500 tons
of coal in the bunkers were also burn
ed.
Miners recently discharged by Gen
eral Manager Edwin G. Bartl, and
whom Mr.. Bartl believes bore a
gradge are suspected by him Of hav-
I ing fired the plant.
The night watchman and an oven
tender discovered the fire at about 100
! this morning in a deserted part of the
washer. The bookkeeper was at once
notified, the irehose was unreeled and
the pumps set in motion, but by that
time the flames had gained too great
headway, and famed by a stiff breeze,
practically burned themselves out in
the course Of three hours time.
Strong color is lent the inc endiary
theory by the fact that there was not
fire in the building where the flames
were first discovered that structure
having been closed for the night. This
building was also about 400 feet from
the washer, and the nearest fire was
in the boiler room in a building ad-
joining the washer.
The washer had long lain idle and
only recently Mr.. Bartl and Dr.. J. P. 1
Reins Of Butte had secured lease
upon the plant and the mines from the
Amalgamated Copper company.
They had installed expensive ma
chlneFy. oVefnauled the plant, and
were working $50 men. New coke
ovens had been installed and 80 dwell |
ing houses erected for the use Of the
employees. These houses were outside
of the fire zone.
According to Mr.. Bartl, the Washoe
Copper company had the destroyed
plant fully insured, but his own losses
are unprotected and amount to many
thousands of dollars.
There is little probability Of the |
Copper company recon
structing the plant.
