KILLING DUCKS:
ROBBING NESTS.
Game Laws Said to be ShamefuIIy Ignor
ed in the Hills Country, Where Nest
ing Ducks are Killed and Nests
Robbed and Eggs Taken
for FOed.

A man who spent several days last
week out in the hills country, visited
The Tribune Office on his return and
told us that he had been told of certain
persons living out there who have been
and are making a business of killing
nesting ducks-and hunting the nests
for the purpose-and then robbing the
nests and taking the fowl and eggs to
their home for food. The robbing of
these nests is quite as serious an infrac-
tion Of the state game law as is the
killing of the old ducks, and severe
penaly is imposed on the guilty party if
convicted Of the offense. Section 26 of
the law, which prohibits this practice,
is as follows:
Sec. 26. No person shall at any time
take or have in possession or under con-
troll, or needlessly break up or destroy,
or in any manner interfere with any
nests, or the eggs of any Of the kinds
of birds, the killing of which is at any
or all times prohibited.
The penalty provided in such case is
a fine of not less than $40 or more than
$50 and costs of prosecution, or by i'm
prisonment in the county Jail for not
less than twenty or more than thirty
days.

Fargo Forum, July 12)
The attorney general has recently
been at Rugby, Towner, Minot and
other sections of the state on matters
pertaining to the enforcement of the
prohibition law.
II found a great change of senti-
ment," Mr.. Miller told the Forum, in
regard to the enforcement of the pro-
hibition law. People are less inclined
to attribute the question of enforce
ment to either the republican or demo
cratic party I'd do not believe in
permitting anyone to make political
capital of enforcement. There seems
to be desire to see the law better
enforced and if found unsatisfactory

Missing Bonds Found.

Bismarck, N. D., July 10.-The miss
ing penitentiary bonds were found this
afternoon by State Treasurer Bickford
in an out of the way place in the vault
in the office. The bonds are some of
an old issue, the disappearance of which
was called to attention at the time of
the probe last winter.
There are $4,000 of the issue and
were in perfectly negotiable form. The
bond issue has been declared unconsti-
tutional and the state would have suf-
,fered no loss had the bonds been stolen
and sold, but serious fraud could have
them perpetrated.

pATRONIZE YOUR
HOME MERCHANTS.
Catalogue House Goods Are Adulterated
and Unfit for Human Food, Says Pure &
Food Commissioner Ladd, Who
Warns People Against Pur-
chasing the Same.

In an interview with a representative
of The Fargo Forum. Commissioners
Ladd warns the people Of the state
against purchasing articles Of food from
the catalogue houses, as the larger per
cent of them are adulterated and peo-
Eple do not get their money 9 worth.
Il think that it would be good idea
to warn the people againat buying food
products from catalogue houses said
Commissioner Ladd. Several people
in the different parts Of the state have
sent me samples of goods they have
secured from these concerns, and by
testing them find that large per
cent are adulterated, while some is alb
solutely unfit for consumption.
II have received several letters from
different people asking me to assist
them in having their money returned.
They state that they have bought bills of
goods -often large ones and then find
that they are not good
"Just recently | received letter and
some samples from farmer living
near Hurdsfeld, who purchased $40
or $50 bill Of goods from one of the
catalogue houses. Most of the samples
were adulterated and unfit for use.
The way to get food is from the
local merchants. They are as a rule
living up to all pure food laws of the
state. No doubt if this Hurdsfeld
farmer would have gone to his dealer
and purchased a $40 or $50 bill of goods
he would have received it as cheap as
he did from the catalogue house, and
would have received good, wholesome
food instead of the adulterated. In
fact, think, it would have been by far
the cheapest. /"

NOTED HORSE
Thief CAPTURED.

Near Ambrose, the Prisoner Being
Notorious Rustler Pat Sullivan
Thinks His Horse is Among
Those Recovered.
(Ambrose Newaman.)

ES5= a&Ga. :lAmOr08e NeWaman.) }Eggsl
Jack Winnefield, alias Jack the Trail
er, the notorious horsethief and outlaw,
was captured on the Joe Knapp home
stead about eight miles northwest Of
Stady postoffice Sunday, July 4th, by
Deputy Sheriff Olaf Braatelien and
Archie Hanson, both of Ambrose.
Winnefield was one Of the most dar-
ing and worst horsethieves that ever
operated in this section ard the farmers
of western North Dakota and eastern
Montana, as well as the adjoining por-
ton. Of Canada, Mil rejeiee to read the
news Of his capture, the stDryuf which
is ais follows:
Sheriff Olson had been informed by
telephone about noon Sunday that Win
nefeld h=a d stopped at the Knapp
homestead in the morning, and had left
four horses in the pasture while he
went off into the hills somewhere and
that he expected to return in the eve
ming to get his horses. Olson immedi-
ately wired the information to Deputy
Sheriff Braatelien here and the latter,
accompanied by Archie Hanson, on sad
die horses. Immediately made q bee line
for the Knapp homestead. The boys
lost no time in getting to their destina-
ton and on their: arrival they hid their
horses in sod barn near the pasture,
while they themselves went in the pas
ture and laid downiin the grass in low
place only few rods from the gate.
Here the boys fought mosquitoes and
waited patiently for Winnefield for
several hours and in the meantime
Sheriff Olson and deputies arrived in an
auto and taking the machine to neigh
bor they returned to the Knapp home,
where they waited in the house, think
ing Winnefield might possibly call at
the house before getting his horses, the
house being some distance from the
pasture. ss ;
At dusk rider was seen coming in
from the north, over the range Of the
Writing Rock hills which adjoin the
Knapp homestead on, the north Thea y
man rode fast and was seen occasionally
for q few minutes, as he. rode over
some hills, and was seen to follow the

far m ing for the cultivation of the
enormous tracts of land as economically
as possible. We are familiar with the
stories Of giant reapers and binders
drawn by teams of eight or ten mules,
and of other machines that work upon
a wholesale scale; but the steam plow
is no less spectacular, though it is sell
dom mentioned.
The attention of the stranger who
chances to be travelling by rail after
nightfall through Northwestern North
Dakota is attracted frequently by dim
lights which appear to be moving slow
ly across the prairie in straight lines.
These he learns are the traction en-
gines drawing their sets of plows, which
are harnessed in series of from eight
to twenty. They work day and night
with different shifts of men, and the
amount of work they do is enormous.
One outfit will plow an acre of ground
in ten minutes or less, an area which
would require the out-of-date single
plow, with its team of horses, to travel
six or seven miles according to the
width of the plow. 1t is estimated that
there are about 1000 steam or gasoline
plows in the state of North Dakota,
which means that 25,000 acres of sod
may be turned each day.
AS general rule the purchaser OF
virgin soil in that state remains at home
and does not attempt to install his own
machinery to cultivate his new land.
He merely hires the owner of a steam
plow to break the ground, seed it with
flax (for that is usually first-year crop,
and to harrow it. If there is particular
need of haste in getting in the crop,
seeders will be hitched behind the
plows and harrows behind the seeders,
leaving nothing more to be done unit
harvest time.

ground closer than ever as the man
rode up to, the gate and dismounted.

grOunQ closer IMAM ever aS GLHe mau
rode up to, the gate and dismounted.
He left his horse outside the pasture
and picked up the halters which he had
left at the gate and was allowed to
close the gate behind and get several
rods away from his horse when Braat-
ellen sprang up to him armed with an
automatic SO calibre revolver and COM
manded him to throw up his hands.
Winnefield hesitated and reached for
his gun but Braatien yelled at him to
throw them up quick and as Hanson,
who was only little ways back, re-
peated the orders, Winnefield evidently
realized that the boys meant business
and obeyed. Sheriff Olson, who came
running from the house, imHseeHately
slipped the handouts on Winnefield and
disarmed him, and in less than half an
hour he was on his way to Williston in
custody of the sheriff.
Winne6eld carried two srevoivags and
| q rifle, and among other things found
on his person was pair of pliers, evi-
dently used for cutting wire fence or
pulling staples. He rode very speedy
horse, probably one of the best saddle
horses in the state, and was fully equip
ped for the business he was in. Two
of the horses found in his possession
were stolen near Williston, but it is
not known as yet where the others be-
long.
The capture of Winnetield termin-
ates, at least for the present, wild
and remarkable career. He seems to
have practically lived on the prairie and
had regular beat for his operations,
taking in western North Dakota, east
iern Montana and the adjoining por-
ton of Canada. He was never known
to do anything but to ride and was fre-
quently seen, especially at dusk or in
the night, trailing one or two horses or
possibly more and thus he gained the
name of "Jack the Trailer. . He was
always we'll armed and between the
darkness and the hills he was hard
man to catch, and especially with the
goods.
The capture Of Winnefeld, and in
the manner as stated, reflects great
lcredit upon Sheriff Olson, and especial
" upon our localdeputy, Mr.. Braatelien
and Mr.. Hanson, who so boldly effect
ed the capture. We only hope that
they will be duly rewarded for their
efforts, as their work was probably the
tsmoothest of its kind ever done in the
state. tts5s fse! s'' $50 2:Sf

ALL HONOR TO NAcoZARI.

The mining camp of Nacozari is cer. tainly entitled to the widest praise for the maner in which the unveil. ing ceremonies in honor of Jesus Garcia were conducted on Sunday. The mining camp, always kept clean, had been especially cleaned and frightened up for the occasion. On every building of any consequence the national colors with other handsome decorations appeared.
 The committees having in charge the arrangements for the unveiling of the monument to Jesus Garcia, who will go down in history as the hero of Nacozan, did their work we'll and every visitor was made to feel that he was welcome in every way possi- ble The state officials from Her mosflIo, including Acting Governor Alberto Cubillas, were received with distinguished honors and shown every courtesy during their stay.
 Great credit is due to s. J. Williams manager of the Moctezuma Copper company, for the success of the un- yelling ceremonies and for the per feet entertainment provided for the visitors. Mir.

fighting, but we protest against any
 game that kills nine men in a short
 season of thirty days.
 As for automobile racing. it is an exception if meeting does not re- suie in one or more deaths. Indeed, this sport is little more than a race
 with death. The chief interest ap- pears to be in the point whether the operators can come off without broken neck or limbs. There is real ly little of real sport in contest between two machines. After all 1t is a demonstration of mere mechan ical skill in designing and manufac- ture, and sc far as that is conceEned 1t is interesting to few people. It Is the man in the machine who attracts attention because he is doing dan gerous thing. It is about the same kind of sport, in essential qualities. as looping the loop" The point of concern Is not whether the individual by his own skill can accomplish a given task or excel another in the same undertaking, but whether he can live through it.
 Automobile racing, aside from this element of risk, is a contest among manufacturers for advertising pur- poses. and certainly they are not nov ed by consideration for sport but sole ly by the hope of gain.
 Of course, football will not be dis continued because of these deaths, but those who promote or permit it. es- pecialIy the college authorities who have large power of control, ought

A TRUST MAKER

IL IS claimed that President Roose-
welt, by sanctioning the absorption
of the Tennessee Iron and Coal
company, prevented the wider spread
Of the panic which started more than
year ago. This is indeed a very
frank admission upon the part Of
the defenders OF the president that
the trusts have gotten such a hold
upon the country that they can eng
neer panic whenever it best suits
their interests. Another way Of ex-
pressing the same sentiment would
be that the trusts, which center in
Wall street, started the panic with a
view to accomplishing some of their
schemes OF high finance, for which
they are noted. The steel trust saw
its opportunity to force the president
into permitting it TO absorb its great
est competitor and it pushed the is
sue until he was ready to submit to'
the deal in order to stop the finan-
clal furry which was spelling the
effects Of his administration BY
this deal the steel trust became
stronger and instead OF succeeding
In overcoming the trusts the pres dent,
who has posed as trust buster has
in reality lassumed the position OF
sanctioning the frmer grip which
this octopus has secured upon the
people.
And now this great trust buster
wants congress to take the pill and
look pleasant without even inquir-
ing into his right to sanction such
deal.
