DISTRICT COURT
is IN SESSION.
REGULAR FEBRUARY TERM OF COURT BE-
GINS TO GRIND MONDAY MORNING.
Criminal Cases Occupy Most Attention on Part
Of Attendants Wilson
Adudged not Guilty,

Randall county has two terms
Of the district court, one begin
ming in August and one begin
ming in February, each OF the
terms lasting two weeks. The
regular term for February con-
yened last Monday, that being
the time set for the regular meet
ing. There was comparatively
full docket in both the civil and
criminal divisions.
The criminal docket attracted
the most attention, there being
two murder cases transferred
to this county from Farmer
county which has assumed pro
portions which attract the at
tention not only Of Randall coun-
" citizens but also the citizens
Of the entire Plains country on
account of the prominence of all
parties concerned in the killing
which occurred at Bovina in
Farmer county in November Of
last year in which John Arm
strong, the manager Of the X. l..
T. ranch lost his life and John
w. Williams and his brother,
Dolby Williams. being charged
with his murder. Then there
are other cases against citizens
Of this county of a much less
serious nature which have at
tracted local attention. Among
these was the case Of Enoch Will
son who stood charged with the
theft Of cattle. This case was
tried the early part of the week
and the defendant was adjudged
not guilty and was discharged
by the court, The jury was out

as foreman could be selected.
The civil docket has several
important cases of Importance

the suit of Dicey May Smith, ct

next term of the court upon the
application of the States attor-
neys. When the John W, Will
liams case was called the defend
ant made a motion for a continu-
ance which was granted. Thus
ended the cases for this term.
These two cases attracted wide
attention. There had been sum
moned about seyenty-five wit
nesses from Farmer and ad-
joining counties nearly all Of
whom were present. The spec
ial venire which had been sum
mOned in the two cases was
dismissed.

from the death of Mail Clerk
Smith who was killed in the
head on collision at Haney's
switch just north of town on
December 9th last.

If clinching argument Is needed
in favor of the "back to the farm
movement, which is heing 80 strenu-
ously urged by social economists all
over the United States, no better one
could be secured than that to be
found in an analysis Of the figures
presented to the public by Commits
sioner w. C.. Gilbreath Of the state
department of agriculture and labor
for the state Of North Dakota.
These figures are based on returns
made by the county auditors of the
respective counties for the year 1908
and are believed to under rather
than over-estimate the actual condi-
tions For the purpose of arriving
at a per capita average the popula-
ton has been assumed to be the
same as that Of our sister state
South Dakota, although the last fed
eral census in 1900 placed the popu-
lation Of South Dakota nearly $4,000
in advance of North Dakota. Sub
sequent state enumerations however
seem to indicate that the more north
ern state has been gaining somewhat
during the past decade, and so for

the purposes of this computation the

the purposes of this computation the
population has been deemed equal.
1t will be readily perceived that the
greater the population the lower will
will be the per capita production, so
the assumption Of equality with our
sister state will effectually dispose
of any suspicion of exaggeration.
The result is eminently satisfac-
tory for North Dakotans and places
the state easily at the head Of the
list of all states in annual per capita
production. The exact figure is
$201.32 for every man, woman and
child in the state, truly a wonderful
showing, and, when considered in
connection with the fact that there
are still millions Of arabe acres un-
touched by the plow, should present
an alluring picture to the struggling
citizen with a family who is striving
to maintain a precarious foothold in
the congested centers of population.
South Dakota comes next on the
list with an average per capita pro-
duction valued at s195.90, also very
creditable showing. No other state
in the Union approaches these figures
owing to their larger proportion Of
urban to agricultural population.
The figures for North Dakota are
as follows:
Wheat. 69,426,304 bushels
worth 1850. ..........$ 63,S72 200
Oats, 18,624,137 bushels

self to just thirty minutes ON the
subject. his main efforts being d.
rected to the beginner on the farm
and the possibilities for poor man
with a family to support
Those who heard this mastery adj
dress will long remember It and will
be much more interested than ever
before in the COW as q helper in the
rearing of family, the great deliv-
erer from the chattel mortgage and
builder of the bank account and the
great factor in the increasing of soil
fertility. And that should dry seas
ons come the stock on the farm will
safely tide over until normal condi-
tions return.
The Garden, Poultry and the Cow.
It was said that tho thing for every
man to do was to DO self-sustaining
from the start. And If a man was
without capital this was q necessity.
And that the garden, poultry and the
COW would be q safe start on the
soil of western North Dakota.
In Pedigree.
It was said that in pedigree is
found a finger board pointing toward
merit but finger-boards may some
times be misleading. A half truth is
lie. Pedigree may mean every
thing but quality. Many breeders
did not understand the law of nature
and the more breeding in the wrong
direction farther from success. But
II natures law were properly follow
ed then breeding meant everything.
But the poor man might not have
money enough to buy high pedigreed
stock and then he was told how to go
into the field and select from our
common native cattle, with absolute
certainty the COWS for the forming of
his herd. (This address is to be
published in full soon.) Then Sc
lect sire of the beet type and grow
for the market and get cash for the
calves. As the law OF nature is that
the sire breeds form and the dam the
nervous system, the stock raiser was
advised to use the sires Of the beef
type at first and market the product
until he was abe to care better for
the dairy breeds and then to follow
his liking. - 49,

Made a Decided Hit.
Assistant Dairy Commissioner
Pierce made a decided hit in his work
on dairying and poultry raising. His
talks were so plain and clear than
any one could fully see why to do as
he advised and that If they followed
his teaching they could not go as
tray, and II his teachings on cleanli-
ress were followed as result of his
work the consumers In the towns and
cities should rise up and call him
blessed. And he showed clearly
wherein those who did not follow the
teaching would te punished on the
market and In their own homes and
barns.
In his work on tree growing and
rejecting the dairy COW Mr.. Gregg
it'd the best work Of any so far in
the course.
