There are a number of counties
where this report has not been made
for great number of years past and
succeeding county auditors have
failed to make reports simply because
those who preceded them have not

There will be an effort made on the
part of the state auditor to see that
these reports are made in the future,
and that the records are kept straight.
Burleigh county Is charged up with
between twenty and twenty-one thou

TRoTTER AFTER NEW TRIAL

Convicted Of Killing Old Man Who
Pleaded for Life on His Knees.
According to advices from Leeds,
Fred Trotter, who was found guilty
of numbering Hans Halvorson last fall
and was sentenced to serve life
term. has moved for a new trial, and
the case will be argued before Judge
Cowan in Devils Lake soon.
Halvorson was wealthy bachelor
and lived alone. Trotter was en-
ployed as farm hand near the Hal
Norson place. One day when his en-
lployer and family were away, Trotter
ts alleged to have shot Halvorson
with a view of getting his money.
1t was common talk that Halvorson
had money concealed on his farm.
From the position of Halvorson's
body it was believed that he had
pleaded for his life and was on his
knees at the time the shot was fired.
The state had a strong circumstan.
tial case against Trotter, and he was
convicted. He denied he had any.
thing to do with the affair, and sought
to establish an alibi.

is growing so rapidly that it will re.
quire the undivided attention of an
experienced man, and Mr.. Coats is
thoroughly familiar with this kind of
work. There will probably be large
loans made this year on farm mort
cages. and the compilation of the pa
pers and the making up of the rec.
ords will be highly important part
of the work of the department.
The land sales this spring will bring
large amount of money into the per-

TESTING LEGALITY OF BONDS

Action Started Before Judge Co.'s
Arguments in Supreme Court Set.
The matter Of testing the legality
Of the issue Of court house bonds has
been begun in the district court at
Rugby, in compliance with the re-
quest of the attorney general and
Gov. Burke and others at the head
of the loan department Of the state
who have stated that that is all they
will require. They have expressed
their opinion favorable to the legality
Of the bonds and also that there is
question but that in view Of past de-
cisions on this point and the law ON
the matter the supreme court will in
all probability decide in favor of the
bond issue.
The case in the lower courts win
be argued before Judge Goss at Minot
and before the supreme court at Bis
marck on May 3. The commission
ers held a meeting in Rugby and en-
ployed A. M. Christianson to repre-
sent the county in both courts, the
action having been started by the ap-
plication of G. B. Hughes and others
for writ Of injunction, restraining
tn commissioners from issuing the
bonds, which is merely a friendly &C.
ton and necessary to get the case
into the courts. The state depart
ment has given assurance that they
will take the bonds just as soon as a
favorable decision has been handed
down by the supreme court, which, II
at all, will probably not be later than
May Is.

DARING RESCUE ~ YOU'VE Boy

Lad Had Become Entansled With
Horse In Slough When steed Fell
Down.
One Of the most daring rescues
took place when Frank Glfckman.
aged seventeen, pulled little Francis
Schwartz, aged eight years. from un-
der horse which had fallen upon the
little fellow in the north side slough
near Minot. Young Schwartz was out
horseback riding. and On his way
home he endeavored to ford the
slough. He had reached the north
side of the water when the horse slip
ped, reared backwards, and fell upon
the rider, pinfoning him in the water.
Frank Glickman happened along at
this time, and, seeing the the danger
Of the young lads life rushed into
the water to his aid. He found it al
most impossible to extricate Schwartz,
but time was precious, and young
Glickman Immediately set to work
cutting the saddle from the fallen
horse he brought young Schwartz to
safety.
The horse was taken from the water
about half an hour later by party of
men. The rescue Of young Schwartz
was an exceptionally daring one from
the fact that young Glickman was
compelled to act while standing in
the cold water. Aside from bruise
on his right hand which bled profuse.
ly from a cut, Glickman is no worse
for accomplishing the heroic work.
1t is feared that the horse is so badly
injured that it will have to be shot.
Francis Schwartz is son of F. M.
Schwartz, the painter, while young
Glickman resides at the home of D.
B. Glazer. Both are residents of the
North side.

Use FormaIdehyde-Don't Raise Smut
Gray S. Towle.)

Are you treating your seed wheat
for smut this spring? Upon the an
swer of this question will probably
depend the grade and price you will
receive for your grain next fall. In
the first place the smut is due to a
parasitic plant, within the wheat
plant, which grows from germs or
spores, the same as other plants
grown from seed.
The principal and most effective
method of treating for smut is with
formaldehyde. The formaldehyde is
diluted in water at the rate of one
pound in fifty gallons of water, the
wheat thoroughly wet with the solu-
ton, and sow as soon as dry enough.
The best and probably the cheapest
method, in the end, of treating the
wheat is to use smut machine built
for this purpose. This machine can
be obtained at small cost, and the
work can be done much faster and
more satisfactorily than by hand. A
very satisfactory method of doing the
work by hand is by placing the wheat
in sacks and dipping it in barrel
of solution. 1t should be left under
water long enough for all the kernels
to. become wet, and then may be set
over some receptacle, such as a tub.
and allowed to drain, after which it
N vNSv nj
sowed the next day. BY this method
man and boy with few sacks can
treat considerable amount of wheat
in a short time. and do thorough
job. Another thing that is essential
to successful treatment for smut is
that everything with which the seed
comes in contact after treatment
should also be treated with formalde-
hyde. Putting the treated wheat in
smutty sacks and seeding it in
smutty drill is very likely the cause
of many failure to get rid of smut.
Always sow as soon as possible after
the seed is dry enough to be run
through the drill. Do not cover the
pile. To covering pile of wet grain
has been attributed the failure of the
grain TO terminate in several cases.
This formaldehyde treatment has
been proven to be uniformly success
full wherever tried. Poor success in
treatment can almost always be
traced to the fact that the grain was
not treated as directed, with proper
strength. or proper times of treat
ment, or else no care was taken of
the treated seed to prevent resmut.

Washington, April 3O.-The entire
lime of the senate again yesterday
was given to the general discussion of
the tariff bill. Senator Rayner of
Maryland led off with a general de.

followed by Senator Nelson of Min.

discussion.
In an eleven-minute session the

of the important business which will
have to be considered this session.

Ing free lumber occupied several
hours in the senate yesterday. His re.
