MAN MURDERED
NEAR FAlRMONT
A. Case, of Esterville, Iowa,
Found Dead Under Trees
On Shore of Lake
He WAS CHOKED TO DEATH
Gang of Tramps Supposed To
Have Committed Crime
Saturday Night
He WAS CHOKED TO DEATH

The Fairmont Sentinel gives the
following account of Martin coun-
ty murder:
A murder of most revolving ma
ture was committed in Martin coun-
ty some time during Saturday night
and owing to the circumstances and
the neglect to notify the peace Of
ficers sooner the probabilities are
that the murderer will never be
brought to the bar Of justice.
At about o'clock Sunday after
noon c. w. Salisbury of Sherburn,
while out walking with a friend and
when in the shade of clump of
trees near the water tank east Of
the village, and on the shore of
Temperance lake, came upon the
body of an old man lying. upon his
back with his hat over his face as
though asleep. 1t struck him at
once that the man did not lie in a
natural position and on closer ex-
animation it was discovered that the
old man was dead.
GIVES THE ALARM
He at once gave the alarm in the
village and Coroner Brodt of this
city was notified. Mr.. Brodt and
his brother Chester went to Sher-
burn in an QUITO as quickly as posi-
BILE. The body was found by him as
represented and deeming an inquest
necessary, he had the following per-
sons summoned to act as coroner's
jury: VIM. Masters, P. A. Peterson,
A. W. Sanford, Axel Baxtrom, ]. E..
Baldwin, Chester Brodt.
HAD BEEN CHOKED TO DEATH.
| Examination showed finger marks
on the old mans throat and it was
apparent that he had been choked
to death. Mr.. Brodt was assisted
in the examination by DIR. Robert
Parrish of Sherburn who proceeded
in scientific manner to examine
the throat and neck of the dead
man. What is commonly termed
the Adams apple the doctor found
to have been torn loose and it was
simply held in place by the outer
skin, the muscles and tendons hav.
ing been torn away so that it would
swing loosely from one side to the
other. 1t was the opinion of the
doctor that the man had been seizec
by the throat with great violance
and literally choked to death.
JURY GIVES VERDICT.
The verdict of the coronar's jury
was soon rendered and was to tn;
effect that deceased PROBABLY mel

BLoUsEs FOR THE SPRING
Waists of Foulard Silk Among the
New Things Suggested for
the Season.

Among the novelties and new things
suggested for spring are waists OF
foulard silk. They are made up usual
ly Of soft spring colorings in the new
and fashionable printed designs, and
frequently have tiny yokes Of white
or delicately tinted laces or nets with
wee undersleeyes of the same filmy
fabrics.
Lingerie blouses will, of course,
have their devoted admirers and fill
a considerable portion of our shirt
waist boxes. Marquisettes and voiles
are often used in their making, as, of
course, are the more familiar batistes
and lawns.
Tailored blouses often open down
the side, and hand embroidered makes
them little less severe in style. Gro
cheted buttons make delightful fasten-
ings.
With us still is the wash-silk blous

CHARCOAL FED
YOUNG DUCKS
Experiments In Ireland Indicate
That Burnt Wood in Some
Form Is Important in
FaEteuin2 Poultry.

In a recent issue of the Journal of
Agriculture for Ireland was given an
account of experiments conducted for
he purpose of deciding the exact
value of charcoal as a means of keep
ing birds that are closely confined in
good health during the period Of fat
.tening. Eighteen large, healthy Ayles-
bury ducklings were selected from a
large flock and divided into three
mems. each pen containing duck
Iings. The ducklings were fed upon
foods which previous experiment had
shown 20 be profitable and econom-
ical namely, boiled potatoes, barley
meal. ground oats, skim milk and tai
low greayes. The method of prepar-
ing the food was to boil, strain and
Mound up the potatoes, which before
boiling would constitute about one
third by weight of the mash. Barley
meal and ground oats were then in
equal parts mixed with the potatoes.
skim milk was added to form rather
wet mash. This was fed to the duck
Iings from the end of the fifth to the
beginning of the ninth week. During
the last two weeks Of fattening, ami
NAL food in the form of rough fat or
tallow cracklings was added to the
mash, the allowance being about two
ounces per day to each duck. Grit and
water for drinking were literally sup
piled. Apart from the charcoal. the
food received by all the ducklings was
the same.
Tables were given as to the results
of the trials, which seem to Indicate
that charcoal in one form or another

ing of ducks 1t appeared to keep the
ducklipgs healthy, and enabled fatten-

much longer period than when char

with geese were conducted on similar
lines, and gave almost identical re-
suits. The foods fed to the geese

1t is said that the gloss which has
disappeared from oilcloth or linoleum
may be restored by rubbing the sur
face with thin solution of common
glue, put on with flannel rag.
The oilcloth must first be washed
off and allowed to dry before the glue
is applied.
1t is also claimed that this treatment
will increase the wearing qualities of

Pigeons do not need a fancy house;
an old barn or building of any de-
scription can be fitted up to serve
their needs. If the building is to
house rs pairs of homers, it should
be seven feet wide by ten feet long,
and if more than one house is to be
built under the same roof, leave an
alley way from three to four feet wide
separating it from the pen by a wire
netting.
The front of the building should be
eight feet high, with six light win
dows.
Directly above the windows two
holes seven by eight inches should be
placed, through which the pigeons
can come and go. They should be
provided with slide to be closed
when the weather is very cold These
can be opened and closed from the
alley-way by pieces of rope and pull
legs.
The fly pen should be as high and
wide as the front of the pen proper
and about Is feet long. 1t should be
enclosed with wire netting small
enough to keep sparrows out.
Six feet from the ground six-inch
wide board should be placed from
