Bought A Fine Farm.

E. M. Ehrhart, the Lewiston
banker, closed a deal here Satur-
day for the sale of his 280-acre
farm north of town, the Old
Staal farm, to Edgar Fry for
$11, 800, or $42.50 an acre. Mr..
Fry has had the farm rented for
the past year and has just finish
ed harvesting a nice crop from
it. The farm is an exceptionally
nice one, lying to the north of
Rocky Butte, and is we'll worth
the price paid for it. Were it
not for the fact that Mr.. Ehr-
hardt intends leaving soon for
Nebraska to locate permanently
it is doubtful if he would have
disposed of the farm for the
price he did.
Mr.. Fry, the new owner, has
been farming successfully for
several years in the country
south Of Ferdinand and in a few
years more will have his new
home clear of all debt and nicely
improved, as he is one who makes
every item on the farm pay and
believes in building up nice
farm home.

No Back Seat Here.

If anyone has an idea that
Camas Prairie cannot produce
fine fruit and vegetables he
should take glance at the sam
pies in the Hughes drug store
window and correct his impress
sions. The samples on display
came from the B. Tackle farm
just south of town and consist of
some choice apples and pears of
exceptional color and beauty,
some excellent potatoes, one of
which weighs 3 pounds and 5
ounces, a 2-foot apple limb con-
tanning 35 we'll formed and good
sized apples, and some peaches
raised on the above mentioned
farm.
These are only samples from
one place but they go to show
what can be produced here in
the fruit and vegetable line and
are silent proof that this country
does not have to take a back seat
for any section, let it be irrigated
or not. And, another fine feat
ure is that all of our fruit is free
from worms something that
many other sections dare not
say.

ANOTHER BIG
FARM SOLD
August Kopczynski Sells Fine
Farm North of Town to Ben
Won Tersch and will go to the
Coast to Reside.

Another real estate deal of
considerable Importance was
closed here yesterday when Nux-
oil & Belknap sold the August
Kopczynski farm of 24O acres
north of town, (the former Gerd-
ing farm,) to Ben Won Tersch
for $11, $50, or $48 an acre. The
place is one of the finest on this
side of the prairie and is well
worth the price paid for it. Mr..
Kopczynski bought the place two
years ago for $40 an acre and
harvested a $4,000 crop from it
this year, which, with the in
crease in the value of the land,
makes a gain nearly $1,000 to
him, less the expense he has
been to in summerfallowing and
harvesting this years crop.
Mr.. Kopczynski intends leav-
ing soon for the coast to reside
on and improve the land he pur-
chased near Vancouver, B. c.,
last spring. Were it not for this
he would not have sold the farm
at the price he did.

charged with the murder. The sud.

not greatly miss him.
Mckay, a very large man, is feared
by many people in the town here but,
though there is no loud talk there is
an under-current of the most intense
ly bitter feeling against him, now that
the suspicious circumstances pointing
to him have come to light. There was,
however, no talk of lynching.
The horrible murder has wrought
up this whole countryside as 1t has
never been wrought up before. The
crime, one Of the most fiendish in the
criminal annals of Nebraska, has been
a tremendous sensation.
The body of the murdered man, with
it's crushed skull, was shipped this
afternoon to Trepola, Ia, for burial.
Brown has a brother living there.
1t is understood that other traces
indicating that Mckay slew Brown
with the latter's own axe in his home
Monday night, were found by the
county officials. but they were very
quiet about what they had discovered.
Whether or not they found human
blood on the man, spattered upon his
garments when he struck the cruel
blows that mashed in Browns head
as the harnessmaker sat in his chair
alone that night, was not definitely
stated.
After chopping in Browns head, the
murderer had carried the dead and
bloody form to the cellar and had toss

axe alongside of it.

Bob had the distinction of leading a
relief expedition which quelled lively
political ruction in the Nineteenth
