BURGLARS TRY
HARLOWTON
Two Tills Tapped and Arrest Of
Two Suspects Follows.

Last Tuesday night the Stevens
Hardware company store was en-
tered by burglars who gained en-
trance by breaking the glass in one |
of the back windows. They took
the cash register and five dollars
in change with them. They also
opened the outside door to the
safe which wa not locked. Find
ing the inside door locked they
left the store without further mo-
lestation.
The burglars afterward went to
the side door of the Marshall store
and threw a stOne through the
plate glass in both the outside and
inner doors. The noise of the fall
ing glass brought the manager of
the store, Chas. Reiff, and other
employees to the scene and the ma
rauders took to their heels without
doing further mischief. This hap
pened about ten o'clock in the
evening.
The meat market OLA. G. Graves
was also broken into. The rob
bers boldly went to the front door
and gained entrance by knocking in
a plate glass. Not having a key
to Mr.. Graves new $500 cash reg
lister, they picked up meat cleav

B0ZEMAN HAS
ELD0RADO
Old Time Prospector Discovers Rich
Gold Deposit in Gallatin.

Bozeman, May 8.-Bozeman peo-
pie were thoroughly surprised this
morning by the news from several
sources that gold had been discov-
cred in distinctly paying quanti-
ties in the west Gallatin basin.
AS proof of the discovery Gus
Steffens is displaying specimens
sparkling with the precious metal.
Mr.. Steffens has long been a be-
lever in the existence in that re-
gion Of the yellow metal and has
spent several years of time and
labor in searching for the lead. He
reports that the discovery was
made some weeks ago and that it
has been kept quiet for various
reasons until this time. From
other sources comes the report that
the entire west Gallatin canyon
from the Park line for 80 miles
down the river is staked out and
at many points the gold seekers
are working to open their rich
leads.
Mr.. Steffens contends that the
gold which he has located lies in
an old river bed which runs from
the old Alder guich diggings dag
onally across the mountains, anc
that it is just as rich in gold a.
these historic placers. Prepare
tions for taking out gold in grea
quantities are being made by MI
Steffens and other prospectors thl
summer. A firm of Livingstol
business men has 10 teams at wor
constructing a ditch for sluicin
purposes.
Several Bozeman parties are pr
pairing to visit the scene of the e!
citement, which is Is miles frol
the city. 1t is rumored that mos
of the promising ground has a
ready been staked out, but tn
will be investigated

BIG FIRE STRIKES
KENDALL
Entire Block in Business District
Destroyed With Heavy Loss.

Fire broke out Sunday morning
at about 2:3O o'clock in the rear of
the Marshall hotel at Kendall
which developed into the most
disastrous fire that the gold camp
has ever had, large portion of the
business section being wiped out.
Had not the wind changed at an
opportune moment nearly the en-
tire town would have probably
been destroyed.
The fire spread rapidly from it's
place of beginning, and as there
are no fre-fghting apparatus in
KeAdall the buildings in the path
of the flames were at their mercy
and all efforts to check the flames
proved futile.
Shortly before three when nearly
the entire town was threaten
ed with destruction, a call for help
came to Lewistown. Fire Chief
Bebb got number of the fire boys
together and Assistant Chief Art
Baker was sent to Kendall with
three auto loads of fire boys and
volunteer fighters in his charge.
Among the buildings burned are
the following: J. M. Parent, gen
eral merchandise store; Marshall
hotel, Kendall hotel, Club saloon
two stables, Two residences and al
ice house. All these buildings
were located in the same block
the fire not crossing any of thu
streets. The entire block wa
/ wiped out.
/ The block which was destroyed
by fire is located on the north ent
5 of Mckinley avenue, and on tn
| west side of the street. 1t is jus

GIVE FINGER
 FOR DAUGHTER.

Mrs. Minnie O'Herrin. of Chi cago, says she will gladly sacri- flee the index finger on her right hand in order to give her 6-year- old daughter Isla, musical education.
 The buyer of the living finger, if the transaction is eliminated. will be Mrs. Reginald Waldorf, of Philadelphia. Mrs. Waldorf's index finger on the right hand was injured by cut from a rusty nail. Blood poisoning resulted and the finger was amputated.
 There is but one thing that can restore your hand to it's for mer condition" said the surgeon who amputated the digit. Some other woman whose finger vii fit and who is willing to sell he, finger must be found. The new finger can be amputated and grated on."
 So an advertisement was pub. lished in the Philadelphia papers inviting proposals for a finger.
 Mrs. O'Herrin saw the adver. tisement and wrote that she would make the sacrifice.

Ne OBJECTED TO MAT.

The loud-mouthed talker al the corner grocery-store was ha. ranguing the other loungers in his usual excited. imperious way. T tell you, Vibbert," he said, coming close to one of them and thrusting his lean face forward, "there'll never be good times in this country till there's a change! The rich are growin' richer, and the poor are growth poorer. and"
 Here the man to whom he was talking got up and moved farther back.
 You don't like my plain speak ing, hey?" sneered the loud- mouthed talker.
 Eve no objection to your plain speaking, said the other, but I don't like the mixture of garlic and alcohol you're giving me along with it.
 That ended the argument.

BALTIMORE IS VANISHING.

Society at Baltimore, Md, was out with his water jug Monday, trying to get a drink, so serious has the water famine in the city became. A long line of persons with bottles and jugs stretched away from the fashionable Hotel Belvedere through the exclusive residential section in Charles street all day. The Belvedere has an artesian well.
 For two weeks the famine has been acute. Wells and springs all around the city are doing a land office business. Rain last Sunday relieved the situation just a little, but the water was so muddy that nobody could drink 1t.

FIELD SELECTION
 OF CORN.

We must fall in line with the great wave passing over the South which has for it's object the production of more and better corn. The South is a corn as well as a cotton country, but in my opinion, proper attention has not been given to seed corn sell ection. Corn responds to intel. ligent effort and improvement more quickly t an does any other plant. It is also very easily in- f1uenced by change of climate. For this reason, seed corn should be grown in the locality in which 1t is to be used. We attach much importance to heredity and breed ing in the case of live stock. It is of equal importance in seed selection. With but little care and trouble the farmer can im- prove his seed from year to year. The yield per acre may very cas- lily be increased from three to ten bushels when proper methods of seed selection are used.
 If you have a small patch of ground that looks pretty good, and If the gronnd is neither too fertile nor too poor, it would be better to select seed corn for the first year from this patch.
 When the ears are approaching maturity, go into the field and make a preliminary selection. The stock itself should be eight or nine feet tall, having broad, we'll developed, we'll colored leaves and strong, well-formed, healthy tassel. The stalk should be up- right, large and sturdy at the base and tapering evenly at the top. An ear with close fitting shuck and with tendency to turn downward, should be selec- ted. An ear that natures early should be preferred. If you find only one ear on a stalk that meets your approval, select that ear. If two ears are well developed, select both. When gathering time comes, throw these previ- ously selected ears into a box at- tached to the side of the wagon.
 These ears should be placed in the loft of the barn or in some dry place where the air circulates freely. This will enable the ear to dry out quickly and loss of germinatlng power by freezing will be prevented.

FARMERS, ATTENTION.

A serious injury is done to the cotton crop by laying it by" too early. Shallow plowings will pay well long after the average far mer has stopped work on his crop. Do not blow deep and thereby cut cotton roots. Better no blowing now than deep plow- ing, but shallow blowing will pay. and pay well. Do not lay by" too soon.
 The hay crop North and West is seriously hurt by drought this year. A farmer from Missouri recently stated that not a bushel of oats or ton of hay had been saved in his county.
 We now have more than sixty days in which to make hay. Save ample for your own use, and some to sell. You will have a market for it next spring at good prices.
The Nevada County picayune., 1911-08-11

P. S.-If you have not ample hay. be sure to plant some millet. Millet is about the only hay crop that will justify its planting at this season. Prepare land we'll. SOW good seed and you will make hay. It is a wasteful practice we have of pulling ears of corn and leaving stalks in field to waste. Of the feeding value, 60 per cent. is in ear and 40 per cent. in stalk and tlades. Forty per cent. is a big loss. and is entirely too much for us to stand, and prosper. You can cut corn with a binder or with a slide corn cutter or with a corn knife or with hoe; so don't say you can't t cut it.
 Give some thought to this and see how much corn you can cut and put away for your stock to eat next winter.
 Cut some. anyway, and give it a fair trial.
 Hay and fodder will be mighty high this fall and winter.

What Is the explanation Of the
French match? Well. on every box
there is printao the legend. 'Manufae
lures Of State: Contributions Indirect"
While you are struggling with the
French match you are paying taxes.
do not know the exact amount Of
the revenue raised by the French
match. but a French friend assures
me that the atrocioG badness Of
French matches is due to the determi-
nation Of the government to compel
smokers to use ten matches instead Of
one. There was once a contractor who
secured the contract for making the
state matches. He was a conscien-
tious contractor. He made good
matches. He made matches that
struck on the box In consequence
the revenue fell off. The government
was enraged. They warned the con-
tractor that his contract would be can
celed unless he forthwith lowered the
quality of his matches. According TO
my friend. the object OF the contr; or
now is to make matches so vile that
the whole population Of France is
forced to spend half - time trying tc
make them burn.-LoIOon Opinion.

Bear Lakes Black Bass.

"The only black bass water know
of where the black bass are really
black" said a man who makes fishing
tackle and tries It out on waters al
most everywhere, "is Bear lake. in the
western corner of New York. 1t lies
high among the hills of Chautauqua
county, near the Pennsylvania line. 1t
has no inlet and no visible outlet. A
popularity Of Bear lake is that It has
no shadows. There is no gradual slope
from its shores into deep water. but
they pitch OFF at angles so acute as to
be almost perpendicular, giving the i'm
preston that the water Of the lake
fills an immense pit Of great depth.
The lake is almost round and only a
mile in diameter. Owing to its odd
formation and unusual depth. Bear
lake has the appearance of a vast pool
of black ink. In those depths are black
bass which are said to be natural to
that water, plentiful, large and full of
fight. Black bass elsewhere are not
black at all, but Of a dark olive green,
but these Bear lake black bass are
black."-New York Sun.
