ANOTHER FARGO NEGRO KILLS

- Fargo, June 16.-Seeking revenge
following trouble with Ed Bell, col
ored, believed to have been over a
woman, another co1ored man named
Clark, from Moorhead, opened fire
on, his opponent" perhaps fatally
wounding him. Bell now lies at St..
Johns hospital with two ugly bullet
wounds, and chances for recovery

Following so close on the Simpson

under this treatment. 1t is then
ready for the fscutching proper.
The workman takes q handful of
flax stalks In one hand and holds
the ends over the edge Of a plank.
On the other side of this plank is
al wheel made Of twelve or; fourteen
thin blades of tough wood, which
revolve SO that their edges come 4
little beyond the edge of the plank
over which the fax Is held. These
blades revolve very rapidly, and beat
out the fragments of the stalk.
After one-half Of the length .of the
handful has thus been beaten out, It
is reversed and the other end treated
in the same manner. Then. the ope-
rator holds in his hand q bunch OF
|scutchedy flax which Is simply a long
fibre which once formed the bark
of the plant, and the full length
Of the plant and Its roots, In this
process q large number OF short IA
bres are beaten out, and constitutes
tow, and this IS used for the making
Of the coarser grades Of linen tex
tiles. The scutched dax is made up
in bundles and Is then ready to sell
to spinning mills. ,s.as ,.. & %.s5. \
III; seems a gerat waste, that the
thousands of tons Of flax straw which
is harvested every year IN North Da-
kota should not be saved in some
manner so that it may be used for
fibre after the seed, lis removed.
The process of threshing to remove
the seed tangles up the fibre 80 that
it would be probably difacult to use
it for manufacturing. 1t will be
noticed in the process of scutching
detailed above; that. great pains is
and to get as great a length OF fibre
as possible. The strength of a linen
textile lies in the length of the fibres
Of which the thread is composed.
The shorter the fibre the weaker;
the longer the fibre the stronger the
thread"

reason for Its superiority In fax pro
duction. '. ~. 49,. s ~ 2 -
when fax Is grown for fibre, a
much larger amount Of seed per acre
is sown than were the seed alone Is
wanted. The reason is that the
plants, where close together, grow
straight upward without branching,
thus giving more straight fibre.
When sown for seed, it is s0wn spar.
ingly, SO that the plants may throw
out branches, the idea being that
more. seed will be obtained per
acre. -. 4 w: s:>, Z 4
when the flax plant has gotten
its full growth, 1t is not cut but
pulled up by the roots each handful

ground, SO as to get rid OF the adj
herring earth. It Is tied in small
bundles or carried or hauled to a
bundles are carried or hauled teo a
flax hole" which are simply pits,
say 20 feet long by feet wide and
4 to 6 feet deep. The bundles are
laid in this closely side by side until

the fields are laid on the flax bun
dies to keep them beneath the sur
face. The fax remaining here some
twelve to fourteen days. This is
called 'rotting' the fax. It is really
la process of decay, added by bacteria.
The purpose is to decompose the We
getable gum which holds the flbres
of the bark Of the fax plant together
and to the stem, which is pithy.
When this change is accomplished,
the bundles Of fax are taken from
the. pit and spread on the grass to
dry. When dried they can be taken
at once to a scutching mill, or
stored under cover, sometimes for
q number Of, months. There. are
over 600 scutching mills in Ireland,
nearly all Of them IN the Belfast dis
|trict. They are usually run by wa

by steam. The fax first is fed end

While Geo b. Winship, of the
Grand Forks Herald, was in Ireland
recently, he noted with q great deal
Of interest the vast Importance to
that country Of the linen industry,
which has its center at Belfast. Call
ing on the American consul there,
Samuel s. Il Knabenshue. he found
thate ofhcial very familiar with both
the linen industry OF Ireland and
the flax growing industry Of North
Dakota, and that the Importance OF
the one had suggested to him some
thing Of the possibilities Of the other.
Mr.. Knabenshue Is a Toledo, Ohio,
man, q member OF the staff of the
Toledo Blade for many years and
very observant and energetic man.
He is well posted on the industries
Of the country to which he has been
assigned, and he also keeps in touch
with American affairs. { H els quite
familiar with the importance Of the
fax growing industry in North Da-
kota, and considers 1t of the high
est Importance that, If possible, the
fiber which is now. wasted shall be
saved for textile purposes. He kind
" consented to write for the Herald
an article on this subject, and this
article, which is just received, Is as
follows: t,ssz .S,< Liza =. .s,.s.t..
