Mueller Bow Found the Gems.

The diamonds lost by Mrs. c. H.
Bowers were found by William Muel-
Ter, 12-year-old son of Rev. j. p. Muel-
Ter of the Christ German Lutheran
church. The lad was riding a wheel
on South Fourth street and found the
chamois bag, containing the precious
gems, on the cement walk. Later in
the day, when he learned who had
lost them, he returned the jewels to
Mrs. Bowers. A generous check for
$40 rewarded his lucky find.
The chamois bag containing the
rings was tied around Mrs. Bowers
neck and the ribbon evidently came
loose, allowing the bag to fall as she
walked. The boy picked up the bag
OH South Fourth street.
The jewels, all set in rings, were in
a dark brown chamois bag tied with
a pink ribbon. In the bag, besides the
diamonds, was ring set with six
pearls.
The Jewels That Were Lost.
The following jewels were lost:
Two solitaires, IL karat each.
One solitaire, a karat.
One set with two diamonds, each
karat.
One small ring set with six pearls

ENCOURAGE Tree Growing.

Gregory County News: July 1 the
law enacted by the state legislature to
encourage South Dakota farmers In
the growing of trees became operative
and 1t is one of the laws which has
special merit to it. Any farmer who
will cultivate trees for period of six
years will be recompensed by the
state to the amount of 50 per acre.
He must plant 1000 trees to the acre
and at least 300 must live and be in
a healthy state to entitle him to this
bounty. For every acre that farmer
plants to trees for the six years he
will receive $12 per acre, which we
hope will prove an incentive to the
farmers of the state in dotting the
prairies with groves, which adds more
than any other improvement to farm
values.

HoMEsTEADER BADLY INJURED
Lew Irons Gets EntansIed In Reins.
His Lungs Laid Bare.

Gregory Times: Lew Irons, home.
steader living about four miles west
of Witten on the southwest quarter of
section 25-101-7S, met with a very Sc.
rious accident about noon Thursday.
The unfortunate young man was out
in the field breaking prairie when the
injury occurred. He was driving four
head of horses to the pillow, having the
lines over his shoulders, when the
clevis pin broke and, not being able
to release himself from the lines, was
dragged over the pillow handles onto a
dull piece of iron that projected two
or three inches above the pillow beam.
The projecting iron tore a large hole
in his chest, crushing through his
breast bone and exposing the lungs
In this condition the unfortunate man
made his way to the house, which was
some distance from where the acct
dent happened.
A neighbor was dispatched to Wit
ten for medical assistance and Dr.
Legg Of Lamro summoned over the
telephone, arriving about two hours
after the accident occurred. Later in
the evening Dir. Hofer Of Dallas was
summoned, making the trip from Dial
las to Witten by auto, arriving about
IL o'clock that evening.
Everything possible was done to re
lieve the patients suffering and this
(Friday) morning he was reported as
resting as easy as possible under the
circumstances, but it is very doubtful
as to his recovery.

PIainview Ball PLAYER Insane.

Plainview News: Word comes from
Kansas that Plainview's last years
premier backstop, Harry Chapman, is
worse, mentally, and has been taken
to the state hospital for the insane.
1t seems that he has been so bad that
it has been necessary to keep a guard
over him for some time. A short time
ago, while this guard was packing a
trunk, he gave Harry a shotgun to
hold for him, and while he was pack.
Ing and had his back turned, Harry tried
to brain him with the barren which he
had been given to hold. The man was
badly bruised up, and as a result OF
this, 1t has been thought best to send
him to the state insane asylum. His
many friends here will be sorry to
know that he is no better, as they had
hoped to see him all right again.

MOVES PEONY FARM TO OMAHA
j. F. Rosenfield viii Leave West Point
In Near Future.


Omaha, July III. F. Rosenfield,
whose fame as an expert in the cul-
ture of peonies extends wherever Pc
onies are grown, has purchased a
twenty-five-acre tract of the Claus Sic
vers farm, on West Dodge street, and
will install his famous peony nurse
ries here. Mr.. Rosenfield has been To-
Gated for years at West Point, Neb.,
from which place his fame as a peony
raiser has gone out over the flower
loving world
He will probably begin building a
home and nursery buildings on the
place this summer. Next spring he
will begin preparation of the ground
to receive the plants and next fall will
begin transplanting them from his
West Point place.
Mr.. Rosenfield is probably the only
nurseryman in the country who de-
votes his time and attention exclu.
sively to the cultivation of peonies.
He has about 100000 plants now, rep
resenting 700 different varieties. II
is his plan to weed out the poorer
strains and maintain only the finest
varieties of the peonies on the place,
For years he has been importing
plants wherever he has heard Of a
rare or beautiful variety. This, to.
gether with the experiments in peony
b. seding which he has carried on, has
developed probably one of the most
remarkable places in the world.
