STATE NEWS AND COMMENT

Jacob Rieman, a farmer living
three miles southwest of Merricourt,
in Dickey county, met with terrible
accident Tuesday. Rieman had gone
after some trees and had a forty-cal-
ibre rife with him. The rifle was
laying in the bottom of the spring
wagon and covered with trees and
shrubbery. In attempting to remove
the trees from the wagon the rife
was accidentally discharged, the ball
passing through the end gate of the
wagon and clear through Mr.. Rie-
mans body. The ball entered the
body at the right side cutting thru
the outer lining Of the stomach and
then passed through the liver and left
lung close to the heart, breaking
three ribs on the left side. There is
not much hope for his recovery.

Berthold Indian reservation opened.
The Ryder people have taken an in
terest in the important question Of

whole thing depends upon when the
Indians want it opened. The prop
erty is owned by them and it is left

pose of q township or not. 5..

men named Morris Fischer and Her
man Gould, struck Fargo Monday
looking for work. They claim they

ing desperate, concluded to hold up .
farmer named Martin Thompson
from Clifford, N. D.
They were stopping at hotel on
lower Front street during the even
ing, and early in the morning, got
Thompson to come out into the back
yard. When they got him there, one
grabbed him around the neck from
behind, while the other went through
his clothes. They got only 81, all the
man had, by the deed, and tore his
pockets out doing that. Thompson at
once reported the case to the police,
and the young men were rounded up.
The penalty of this crime can be as
much as 20 years In the penitentiary,
but the youth of the prisoners and
the amount stolen will no doubt re-
duce their sentence from that length
Of time.

Growth of State.

Washington, May 15.-North Da-
kota stands third on the list Of states
showing the greatest increase in the
number Of its rural free delivery
routes added between June 80, 1908,
and May ], 1909, Figures showing
this to he true have been obtained
In advance from Postmaster General
Hitchcock's annual which will be
made public about July next.
The figures in this report reflect
the material increase in the popula-
tion OF North Dakota in the eleven
months mentioned. On June l OF
last year there were $50 rural routes
being served In the state. On May
l of this year the number had grown
by 80, making total Of 40 routes
The two states that lead North Da-
kota are Mississippi. whose increase
was 1O2, and Texas, with 81 addit-
ional routes. The former state has
a total of 200 routes and the latter
1902, the largest number of any Of
the states. Oklahoma, the newest
state, was expected to lead this year
because of the large increase in pop
ulation in the last twelve months,
but the increase was only 60, making
q total of 800 routes.
Between now and July l, six new
routes will be assigned in North Da-
kota. There are 62 petitions pend
ing, 3 Of which will be granted on

SOIL in FINE CONDITION

SOIL IN FINE SOWOt1lOW
The country newspapers the past
week generally report that the soil
tor spring farm work Is In fine condi-
tion, aitho the season is somewhat
late. Experience Of the past years
proves that early seeding Is not the
best, and particularly grain seeded
early without proper preparation Of
the land. Experience shows that 1t
pays to put the ground in first class
shape, which destroys weeds better
than. hasty cultivation and allows .
more rapid and even growth Of the
crop after termination. According
to the indications there will be !
larger acreage this year OF feed
crops, particularly oats, and . great
many more potatoes will be raised IN
North Dakota than heretofore.
