SUPPLYING A BINDER
One Not oisIodsed by Motor TraHo'
Wind or Rain.

The question of supplying maca'
dam road with an elastic and, at the
same time. a tough and durable Dinder'
is one still in an experimental stage
although good results have been oD,
tanned with the use Of both TAR anu
asphalt compounds. J..
The object Of this treatmeh. lS ~
provide a binder which will not be dls-
lodged by the action Of motor tra'hc
or wind and rain. If this is accom-,
plished. the macadam itself Is neiu
firmly in place, and the road suneIs
no deterioration, as is the case WIN
the ordinary stone or gravei pihuei
under severe motor traffic.
An effect somewhat similar III ao'
ton to that Of motor trafilc Is pio'
duced ON roads in the vicinity VI un'

The mud is carried by the "aeon
wheels ON to the macadam or graVei
and adheres to the finer particles anu
picks out the binder between Tue
pieces Of rock composing the suiiacs

Lima Beans.

II pole lima beans were grown In
drills and supported by net or other
device, there would be less trouble
with fungus diseases. This is a very
profitable crop with gardeners living
near large cities, but fungus troubles
often lead to It's abandonment. An
other advantage in planting in drills
and supporting on wires is that sprays
may be applied with much greater
thoroughness. Most fungus diseases
of the beans may be readily controlled
with Boreaux mixture.

a deer and keeping out of range until
the Dursuer's rifle was emptied and
then getting his satisfaction by Civ
ing the near-sighted man a good
trouncing was the experience of Nath-
an Good. claim holder living about
eighteen miles from this city.
Good had been out rounding UP
some Of his stock and not being
mounted was late in getting home
and as he came over small hill his
canvass coat and dark trousers against
the dead grass color of the surround
ing territory made the hunter think
1t was the deer for which he had been
looking all day. He opened fire and
Good lodged and started to run, and
still the hunter thought of the venison
dinner he would have and kept on
firing on the run. He discharged his
rifle sixteen times, but being poor
marksman did no damage.
Good says he kept track of the times
the man shot and when the sixteenth
bullet struck the ground near him
he started in for his share of the fun.
He charged upon the hunter who was
too surprised to attempt to make an
escape and when Good arrived he did
not wait for explanation but started in
to fight He pounded the man on the
head with his fists and according to
his own story kicked him several
times and wound up by taking the
rife and hammering the frozen ground
until the firearm had been put out of
commission for all time.

ESCAPED PRISONER
Winters CAUGHT
APPREH ENDED I'M VILLAGE OF

sofa BY SHERIFF.

Winters, the prisoner in the state penis
tertiary who made his escape from
the institution last week, has been ar.
rested and Is being held for the war
den, who has gone to Fergus Falls,
Mimi, after the man. Winters was
caught at Ada, Mimi, by the sheriff
and the warden was notified of his
capture E
Winters has rather long list of
escapes to his credit. The first stunt
he performed after being brought to
Bismarck was to feign insanity and he
was taken to jamestown to the asylum
from which he made his escape When
he was captured he was returned to
the pen, instead of being taken to the.
asylum. Last winter during one of the
coolest nights he again made his es-
cape, and was found few miles down
the Northern Pacific road, after hav-
ing been out for a number of hours
and nearly freezing to death. His last
escape was made last week while he
was engaged in doing some plumbing
work about the penitentiary. 1t is not
likely that after his escapades of the
past couple of years that he will be
allowed much liberty in the future.
Winters was originally sent up from
Grand Forks county on a charge of
horse stealing.

week. Jacob Keoke, the Sisseton In
dian convicted of manslaughter for the
killing Of George Kampeska, was sent

them to decide whether or not to take
an appeal, and he elected to start
serving his sentence at once.
George Perry, formerly sheriff of
Corson county, who was convicted Of
introducing liquor on the reservation,
