ROAD DRAG SEASON.
any Month II the Conditions Are
Right For Its Use.

The road drag is like the manure
spreadtr-in style any month in
the year If the condition are right
for its use. Other machines are
put in the shed to wait their sea-
son, but the road drag should al
ways be ready to hitch to if we are
to use it TO the best advantage.
The accepted time for the use of
the drag is when the roads are
drying up after the rains. 1t is
surprising VIII an immense
amount of good can be done the
roads in an hour at such time.
Enough dirt is brought in to keep
the road we'll rounded up, the
water is allowed to run off, and
the mud is puddled and plastered
down so that the surface is quick
ly dried and compaCted ready to
shed the next shower a little bet
ter. Some people seem to have
wrong conception of the time to
drag. l have seen one of our
trustees out earning % the town
ship money after the roads had
been dry day or TWO. He seem
ed to think the mission of the
drag was to fill up the ruts. At
any rate he would drive merrily
along, leaving in some places
hardly track among the clods.
About the most satisfaction we
ever realized from dragging the
roads came from a job done in the
mud just before the last freeze IN
the fall. How can you tell when
to do it? Just guess at it and
keep trying. If it thaws the next
day there is no harm done. And
when you do hit it you surely feel
like a public benefactor as you
watch the teams go gliding by on
your pavement to bring up with
bump on your neighbours rough
road. The spring is the time to
use the road drag if you want to
do some lasting good to the high
way. The dirt is soft and easily
worked then, and a few trips over
the road with the drag, cleaning
ont the bitches and rounding up
the surface, will do more good than
a gang of men with the grader in
the fall. The best Job | ever did
with the drag was to round MP the
track on a bad clay hill Just as the
frost was going ont, That hill
was good all summer.-C. J. Ke1-
sey in Homestead.

tc~, WAS not made on this, but was
made later on Green River whlskey,
which. according to the explanation
submitted by Col. Fielder stood the
test. Before going further with the
test Col. Fielder asked Mr. Curiel what
such a compound would be worth, and'
Mr.. Criel said if the test were cor
rect if would be worth about $3.50
to 1915 per case, the price in reality
charged in this State on these class
es Of goods being about $40.
Senator Weston, attorney for the
New York and Kentucky company
then questioned Mr.. Curiel, bringing
out that there had been sold to this
State $4,000 worth Of goods, OF
which about Is per cent was Duffy's
malt, that high grade bulk goods to
the amount Of about $2l 900 had been
returned by the commission after the
dispensary was abolished.
Mr.. Curiel stated that the DuffN's
malt shipped here and to other parts
Of the country was all of the same
quality: that he also charged the
same price here as elsewhere; that
he did not add one penny because of
the commissions paid; that he quit
the business in this State because he
could not afford to pay the commits
sionS, and because his account was
tied up. He reviewed the transac-
tions with James Farnum as brought
out yesterday. stating in detaail the
propositions as to orders.
One Of the orders shown today was
for about 1000 cases Of goods which
Mr.. Curiel said Farnum brought IN
person to him and demanded a COM
mission thereon. There was another
order in April, 1906, for 200 cases OF
the malt for the same reasons, and
there we're other orders later on Which
he turned down, because his account
had been tied up here. He refused
to pay Mr.. Farnum the $1,000 tc

proposition submitted by wire. lie
understood even after he had no dl-
rect dealings with Farnum that the
latter was "still in the transactions. .
Mr.. Curiel and Col. Fielder had a
difference as to what Mr.. Curiel tes'
tilted yesterday in the matter of com
missions. Col. Fielder recalled that
Mr.. Curiel had said that he had never
paid a commission until after Slmm

was not his statement. In order to
clear the matter up the books Of the
company, which had been taken back
to the hotel, were ordered brought up
again and the accounts were referred
to in order to prove the record, so
that it could be seen whether or not
commissions were paid after Simm

DATE is FIXED
EoR VICTOR TRIAL

Aberdeen, S. d., Aug. 13.-Judge
Frank McNulty late yesterday after
noon decided upon August "a as he
date for beginning the jury trial of the
Victor case, and the work of empanel-
ing a jury will begin at that time. In
the preliminary skirmish for position,
the public sentiment gives States At
torney Van Slyke credit for winning
out. The defendants attorneys bent
every effort to induce the states at
torney TO consent to a life sentence in
consideration of Victor pleading guilty.
When the offer was finally and def
nitely refused, with the statement that
be satisfactory to the state. in view
of the Nervousness Of the crime, 1t was
decided to have Victor plead not guilty,
and trust him to the mercies of a jury.
The evidence against the mar is so
overwhelming hat II is believed to be
a certainty thai conviction will follow
his trial and that the death penalty
will be imposed.
Victor was absolutely calm and UNI
disturbed when he appeared In court,
and when he entered his plea of not
guilty. The throngs which crowded
the court room and the passage way
leading to the court house from the
jail apparently caused him no anxiety
whatever. His father, mother and
brother. who were in the court room,
appeared equally unconcerned.
The crowd which had assembled was
orderly and quiet, and no demonstra-
ton OF nay sort was made against the
prisoner.

of Pollock, is spending his time in the

store and a saloon at Pollock. Con-
fronted with clear evidence of his guilt,
in the form of a stolen coat which the

TRIP IS STRUCK
BY CLOUDBURST AND
ELECTRIC STORM
Whole Family Shocked, Build
ings Injured and Cellars
Flooded by Water.

Trip, S. D., Aug. u-During the
worst electrical and windsrorm in this
section in rs years, eight buildings
were struck here Saturday night, an
entire family shocked into insenslpility
by lightning, and crops leveled within
a radius Of 35 miles.
Six members of the family Of J.. X.
Mayer were rendered unconscious by a
stroke of lightning All, from the
parents to the youngest child, lay in
sensible for almost an hour, when they
gradually revived. The dwelling was
slightly damaged.
Lightning struck the house of j. w.
Schliessmann, banker, of this place,
at three different places, charging the
building, and stunning several per-
sons within. The newly erected dwell
ing of Albert Jungmann was struck
and considerably damaged, as was the
Hotel Trip n the Dakota State bank
building.
Rain fell in torrents. 1t is reported
that the precipitation was from 6 to
8 inches. Almost every cellar in
this town was flooded, as were the
easements of all business houses. Dam
age from food will be considerable.
The hous of John PietZ, a farmer
living near here, it is reported, was
struck by lightning during the storm,
and burned to the ground. Several
other structures were struck and dam
aged by lightning. 1t is reported that
the windmill Of the Milwaukee line at
belmont. near here, was struck and an
entire section torn off.
Corn in every direction in this vicin-
ity was lowered by the storm, and it
is thought, greatly damaged. There
were two distinct storms, the first at
about 7 o'clock Saturday evening, the
other at about 4 o'clock Sunday morn
ing.
There was a constant, terrifying roll
of thunder during the storms, and the
most awe-inspiring electrical display
seen in this part Of the country for a
quarter of a century.

FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD
ELOPERS ARE CAUGHT

Custer, S. d, Aug. 14.-After a two
weeks chase north. Sheriff Charles En-
mis-, of Custer county. has returned here
with ]. A. Clason and Frances Cawsky,
the latter a ~15-year-old girl, who eloped
from the Cawlsky ranch near here.
Clason, who is about 30 years of age,
came here several months ago from
Wheeler, Neb., where he has a wife
and three children. He obtained en-
ployment on the Cawsky ranch and
Was q good farmland.
Nothing wrong was suspected until
about two weeks ago, when the pair
suddenly disappeared, and it was
learned that they had taken two horses
from Cawlsky and struck out north.
Sheriff Ennis. with warrants charging
Clason with abduction and grand lar
ceny, followed close on their trail, but
was unable to overtake them until they
reached Alfnont, -. d., a town six miles
west of Bismarck. There the pair
sought shelter and were turned over
to the sheriff, who arrived shortly after.
