Who Got Away When Comrade
Was Shot By Sheriff.

James Gibson, wanted in both yell
lowstone and Fergus counties for
horse stealing, and one Of the most
desperate criminals that ever infest-
ed the Northwest, is lying on a cot
at the county Jail, nursing badly
wounded arm, as result OF SEN
sational shooting match between a
trio OF horse thieves and Deputy
Sheriff Al Morgan, miles northeast
Of Grass Range, last Saturday after
noon At distance of fully $50
yards, Morgan put soft nose bullet
from 3O-3O through Gibsons right
arm, placing that gentleman hors de
combat and making his capture an
easy matter.
Wanted in Billings.
Sheriff Martin had received word
that three men had stolen some saddle
horses from Billings livery stable
and were thought to be headed in this
direction. Securing an auto, Morgan
left Saturday morning for the Grass
Range country. In the afternoon,
three men were seen riding toward
the auto. When they sighted the ma
chine, they turned of into coulee.
Feeling sure that they were the men
he was looking for, Morgan got out
of the machine and started after the
men afoot. He commenced to shoot
when he got an opportunity, and the
fifth shot toppled one of them, Glib
son. from his horse The other two
took Gibson's horse and escaped to-
ward the north

and breaks up in large Jumps, can
be broken with entire satisfaction
after it is disked, even though the
disks do not enter the ground but a
short distance The disking and
cross-disking make the land of in
manner similar to the scratching or
the glass by the glass cutter, and
when the ground is broken 1t breaks
along these disk lines and the Jumps
or clods are small and more easily
pulverized. If, however, the land
still breaks up in clods, or in any
case, the land should be narrowed
with a smoothing harrow immediate
ly after breaking. There are too
reasons for this. First, the clods
are much more easily pulveriZed than
they will be at any later time until
dissolved by heavy rains, and second,
the narrowing will help to at once
settle the land back into a position
which will tend to prevent too great
drying out or loss Of moisture. To
do this narrowing to the best adj
vantage the blowing should stop long
enough before taking out fer dinner
to harrow all that has been broken
that morning. The some thing
should be done in the evening and
all land broken since dinner har-
rowed before the finish Of the days
work.
At least one or two additional
borrowings should be given the land
before seeding, at intervals Of, say,
two weeks, or as soon after a rain as
the land is in condition to work
If the land is broken in this way
and at least month before seeding
we think that it will generally pay
to break the land for fall sowed
crops.
OF course, this amount Of labor
put on the oat and wheat lands in
creases the cost of the crop, but IL
done with a two or three-horse
team to each man, 1t will usually
pay and is not too much cultivation
to give the land for any crop.
The rush of other work at this
season of the year is the reason gen.
orally given for failure to better pre-
pare the land for the fall sowed
crops, but II we do this work with
a maximum Of horse and machine
power and minimum OF man labor
this objection is largely overcome.
In case the land Is well broken for
a pea crop, and we repeat that in
such a case we would prefer not to
break it again unless 1t can be done
some time before seeding and the
land narrowed as above described,
then disking alone may be sufficient
We advise thorough disking some
time before seeding and following
with harrow. and then giving it
another disking and narrowing be-
fore seeding. In very dry season.
or IL no rain is received on the land
after 1t is broken and before seeding,
it is frequently found that a better
stand is obtained when the land is
simply disked and narrowed instead
of being plowed. Better preparation
of the oat and wheat lands is the
point to be aimed at, but we must
always keep In mind a settled seed
bed, which will better retain the
needed moisture to terminate the
seeds.
