The preliminary examination of Con
stable Rudd, or rather the Investigation
Of the killing Of Jose Davilla, (whosC
name was understood To be Avalas)
by the officer at i sugar beet CAM
near Glendale on Wednesday afternoon
was begun before Justice johnson yes
tcrday morning. When J. J. Gump
foreman Of the sugar beet camp, who
had summoned the officer and the only
eve witness Of the killing had testified
and when the evidence of Manuel Pace
and his wife who had been threatened
by Davilla had been heard, ii turned
out that the witnesses which had been
summoned at the request Of the MeXi-
can consul had not appeared Ac-
cordingly an adjournment of the case
was taken until today.
But the testimony to come can be OF

they could have seen the struggle end
ing in the death Of Davilla if they had
been armed with telescopes for the
fight took place in a depression at the
roadside
But Mr.. Gump was within few feet
of the men when the fatal shot was
fired. His story Of the affair is as
nearly similar to that told by the Of
ficer on the night of the tragedy as
that Of two persons may be.
Mr.. Gump said that when they saw
the Mexican at the roadside he stopped
the machine and the officer told him to
give himself up. He did not do so and
the officer leaving the machine started
toward him. He was then abou twelve
feet away. When he was within three
feet Of DayilIa, the latter drew a re-
volvcr. The officer was already hold
ing his gun in his hand for he knew
that Dayilla was armed. When the
Mexican pointed the gun at him, the
officer, though past middle age. instead
If shooting at once sprang toward
Dayilla and then there was a shot. Mr.
Gump believed that il had been fired
by the Mexican. Then came the strug-
gle and both men went down. Mean
while two more shots were fired.
The witness FASTENED to the side of
the men and believing that the officer
had been wounded, took him by the
shoulder and asked him il he was hurt
The officer said that he did not know.
He got on his feet and made an ex-
The Mexican by this time
was quiet When he was examined it
was found that one bullet had passed
his neck and the other Fad en-

were fired in the struggle. Davilla's

What Ais Young Men?

Half the young men who are not
getting anywhere in the world are
held back because they think they
could run the business better than
the boss. In the smoking room while
the stays are smoking out" a few
dances, the STRIPPING who could run
things if he had chance" elevates
his patent feathers to the stove and
between limitations on his cigarette
tells how a successful business ought
to be conducted. THE old man is a
queer duck" is the usual prefix to
the explanation. "He does this and
that when he ought to do so and so.
It's none of my business of course,
but I'd just like TO be in his shoes
while" THE man who knows more
than the boss" is a disconnected man.
He has convinced himself he isn't
paid for what his services are worth
and all because the boss knows so
little about his own business that he
doesn't know a good man when he
sees one. He only half does the work
assigned to him because he knows it
ought to be done some other way
his own way. The man who knows
more than the boss" is usually a
kicker and grumbler, and holds a
$12 a week job as long as the spell
is on him." Fortunately young men
have almost monopoly on this UNI
desirable state. When a man has
bumped along the rough old path of
business few years it begins to per-
colate into his head that the boss is
doing a pretty good Job of landing
on his feet every time, and he begins
to take notice of how he does it. 1t
begins to wear in on him that the
boss has some brains after all and
that his queer ways get there in the
long run. He begins to study the
boss some instead of watching him
self all the time and the first thing
he knows he gets the grand idea
that the boss is an all fired smart
man and he begins to boost for him
and his methods, and to amount TO
something

SHOWS NORTH DAKOTA CORN.
Mr.. +. j. Weiser, Formerly of De-
corah, Has Corn Show of His
Own in Minneapolis.

Without previous announcement
and with no admission charged, a
corn show was put on in Minneapolis
today when E. j. Weiser, vice presi-
dent of the First National bank of
Fargo, placed on exhibition in the
Northwestern National bank, white,
red and yellow corn, representing
the 100000 bushels of that crop
which Mr.. Weiser says North Da-
kota has raised this year. Red and
yellow dent and Minnesota No. 13
of the state agricultural school are
the varieties, and there is some pop
corn in the show.
1T has long been thought that
North Dakota is not corn state,
but | guess this will show what we
can do" said Mr.. Weiser, as he
picked up a massive ear of red dent,
perfectly matured.
The Wheelock farm in Cass county
has 900 acres of red or northwest
ern dent, all of which has been sold
for seed. c. d. Briggs of Argusville
has thirty acres in northwestern
dent, and Andrews Bros, Mapleton,
N. d., have 160 acres in Minnesota
No. 10. j. H. Gale of Hunter has
500 acres of corn: c. E. Metcalf,
Harwood, seventy-five acres; ]. w.
Smith, Fargo, $50 acres; ]. w. Smith
on the Edgewood farm, $50 acres;
John Eltman, Mapleton, eighty acres
and R. J.. Percy, Argusville, sixty
acres in one allotment and forty on
another farm; Joseph Askew, Mapel-
ton, fifty acres and John Wyman,
Hillsboro, 800 acres.
C. H. Mitchell, Fargo, contributed
samples from two acres of popcorn.
There is an immense corn acreage
in North Dakota" Mr.. We:ser said,
and l only picked up few samples
at random. This corn" he said,
pointing to northwestern dent, has
gone sixty bushels to the acre. Most
of the corn was planted towards the
middle of May. | am told it should
be planted earlier. The corn crop
is the big feature in North Dakota
today and is the thing that is going
to make the hundred dollar an acre
club win, for when this kind of
crop can be raised, land is easily
worth 500 an acre. journal.

RED CLOVER IN IOWA.
An Investigation as to the Cause OF
Decreased Acreage and
Increased Price.

Red clover is under investigation
at the agricultural experiment sta
ton of Iowa state college. 1t is not
producing seed satisfactorily and the
agronomy section of the college in
cooperation with the U. S. bureau
of plant industry is trying to find
out why. When it is all over, the
humble bee may find himself ousted
from his time-honored job of pollen
User in chief to the red clover and
the desirability of artificial methods
of pollination establisher.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture says that the investigation of
clover pollinations is the largest ever
undertaken, but it is of note for a
larger reason. 1t vitality concerns the
soil conservation problem in Iowa,
and elsewhere.
Red clover is the cornerstone of
agriculture in this region, but the
red clover acreage is not increasing
very much and that is a dangerous
situation. Farmers are not adding
to the clover acreage because the
price of seed is so high. The regular
annual shortage of seed has forced it
up as high as SIS a bushel and it
has been in excess of $40 for two or
fhran Thnrn &c oil hAr
age because clover growers do not
understand the pollination problems
and it is to these that the experiment
at the state college is devoted. More
seed will mean cheaper seed, and
cheaper seed will mean more clover
acreage and that is what the college
is after. THE soils of Iowa cannot
be kept fertile economically unless
the present acreage of clover is in
creased ten, yes, twenty times" is
the way Prof. w. H. Stevenson puts
the need. Moreover, if seed can be
produced successfully practically ev-
cry year, it will make the farmer
some money and make the growing
of crops in rotation more profitable
than now. Crop rotation is the most
important factor now in Iowa's soil
fertility problem"
Red Glover seed production is
hampered by the unsolved pollina-
ton problems. There have been
many conjectures as to the depend
ency of clover on outside pollinating
agencies like the humble bee and
other insects, and the possibility of
artificial mechanical pollination. The
true relation of these factors, how
ever, has never been determined and
that is what the Iowa state college
investigators hope to do.

Italy. TripOli and Turkey.

Italy, fighting Turkey over her
colonies in Tripoli, is letting off some
dangerous fireworks in the powder
magazine of European diplomacy,
says the Dubuque Times-Journal
The Hague court of arbitration
was established to create machinery
for settling precisely such disputes.
The representatives of Italian power
signed the treaties establishing this
machinery. The laws of all civilized
lands punish severely the man who
signs an agreement TO pay IS in
cash, and then backs out of it. But
diplomats violate agreements involv-
ing the sacrifice of millions of the
peoples money and thousands of
lives, besides threatening the stabil-
ity of Europe's fragile balance of
power. And no police power above
them exists that can punish such
breach of faith.
Nevertheless, it would be a bless
ing to poor seedy and forsaken Tri-
poll if Italy or some other Christian
nation walked in and took posses
sion. 1t is a paradise gone to seed.
1t has been called the Cinderella of
Africa, sitting in her dust and ashes
and mental clothes, waiting for some
prince to come along with the golden
slipper of modern science and enter
prise.
In the time of the Roman empire
it was country of great fertility,
with prodigious shipments of olives,
grains, etc. And the golden soil is
still there.
Turkey, with centuries of misrule,
has farmed the country for the bene-
fit of the sultan, submerging all in
dustry under staggering taxes, until
even the wild Mohammedan Arabs
might not regret the coming of
Christian power.
Under a system of grating and
absentee Turkish officials, the land
has been reduced to the dull apathy
of Egypt before the days of English
control. Had the game been played
with the weapons of diplomacy in
stead of gun play, the powers might
we'll have handed over this dismantl-
ed wreck of nation to the teeming
colonists of sunny Italy.
