Shot Was Heard.
Young Leibold left the house and
went into the tent about five o'clock
Wednesday afternoon and shortly
thereafter the shot was heard. He had
been twirling the revolver around his
finger, the latter holding the gun at
the trigger gaurd, and this must have
caused it to discharge just as the bar

HEAVIEST OF THE YEAR OCCUR
RED AT DAYLIGHT.

From Mondays Daily,
The heaviest rainstorm of the year
burst over the city at about day
light this morning and rain fell in
torrents for an hour and more lightly
for several hours longer. The gut
tiers and storm sewers ran full, but
were able to carry the water off, and
no damage was reported anywhere.
In the country the ground was thor
oughly soaked as it had not been
since last fall, and it now holds enough
moisture to mature a fine crop of
corn and potatoes and to renew the
grass in the pastures.

into the sewing room and tore some
of the wallpaper off of the side of the
room and ignitcd the lace curtains
and burned them from the brass rod.
The sewing machine was standing I'M

and the cover looks as though it had
been penetrated with shot.
The bolt passed through the oppo-

From THURSDAYS Daily.

Martin O'Nlalley farmer who re-
sides with his wife and eleven children
on farm three miles from LeSueur

Fed Poison to Children.
OiMalley is charged with feeding
poison to his two step children, Mary
Bergl and Francis Bergl two and three
years of age respectively, which caused
their death. O'Malley was charged with
the crime, but for want of evidence
was released. Detectives were engaged
and had OMalley in the sweat box
for two or three days and nights
Early this morning O'Malley confessed
the crime, and his arrest followed.
O'Malley Married Mrs. Bergl.
Some three or four months ago
O'Malley married Mrs Bergl, widow
lady who resided at Montgomery She
with her three children and her hus-
bands eight made a family of thirteen.
The children of both families are
small.
The medicine fed the children was
sent to the state chemist for analysis
and was found to contain considerable
strychnne.
The case is one of mystery, but
many of the people here are inclined
to the belief that O'Malley is partially
insane. He is about forty years of
age and has always borne a good repu-
tation. The family reside OH an eighty
| acre farm.

Among the most important of the

pany is not bad guide to the worlds
prosperity. In 1906 the diamonds sold
realized f1,277,739. In 1907 there was
q drop of nearly IL per cent in the.
sales to f1,064,595. There was some
recovery In the following year. but in
the year ended Oct. 80, 1909. the sales
had risen to 81, ,412 1928. No doubt we

GERMANY AND CANADIAN

Leolks to the Canadian West for Her
supply.
A dispatch from Winnipeg, Mani
toba, dated March 1S, 1910, says that
Germany is anxious to secure a share
Of Canadian wheat to supply her i'm
ports Of that cereal" The recent adj
justment OF the trade relations with
Germany has made 1t possible to carry
on a canadian-German trade with
much fewer restrictions than in the
past. and considerable development Of
trade between the two countries is
now certain. The great men of the
United States are alive to the wheat
situation in Sthis country now, and
there Is consequently the deepest in.
terest In every, feature that will tend
to increase and conserve the wheat
supply. With Its present CSC, ,O0O, ,O0e
bushel production of wheat and all
efforts to increase 1t almost unavail-
ing, and the rapidly growing consump-
ton Of Its Increasing population; there
is certainly the greatest reason. for
the anxiety as to where the wheat is
to come from that will feed the ma
tion. The United States will be forced
as Germany is to look to the wheat.
fields of Canada. One province alone
raised last year one-eighth as much
as the entire production Of the United
States. and but a twelfth Of the wheat

leans who have gone to Canada, are to
day reaping the benefit Of the demand
for Canadian wheat and they will CON
stinue to Join In the benefits thus
reached for a great many years. Splen-
\ did yields are reported from the farms
Of that country, and from land that
the Government gives away in 100
! acre blocks, and from other lands that
have been purchased at from $12 to
/ SIS an acre. John Munter, near Eye
brow, Saskatchewan, a former resi-
dent of Minnesota, says:
"Last fall got over 80 bushels OF
wheat to the acre and had 80 acres OF
It; also 20 acres spring breaking on
which had fax of which got almost
20 bushels per acre. Had 20 acres in
oats and got 70 bushels per acre, and
500 bushels potatoes on one and three
quarter acres, and can therefore safely
say that 1 had a fine crop and am
well satisfied with my homestead"
\ He is considered but a small farmer
but he will be one Of the big farmers
some Of these days. There are many
others. hundreds OF others, whose
yields were beyond this, and whose
average under crop was vastly greater.
