A Dry Season

The weather conditions
throughout the Northwest
have been such this spring
that it is apparent a short
hay crop is certain and the
farmer and stock raiser must
begin now to consider the
question Of feed for bis cat
tie the coming fall and win
ter. The surest, and in fact
the only substitute for hay
is corn fodder, and to get
the best results from fodder
it should be fed in the form
of ensilage.
The farmer who has a silo
need not let the prospect of
a short hay crop worry him,
as a few acres planted to
corn will provide abundant
feed, or the best kind for
his live stock. e.s
To the farmer who does
not have a silo, we say ''get
busy and prepare to CON
serve the products of your
fields. IA.
A stave silo is not expen-
siye, is easily erected and
will pay for itself IN one
year.

Word came to Dickinson early
Friday that Editor j. w. Brinton
Of the Beach Chronicle had been
acquitted Of the charge of crimi-
nal assault on the person of one

trial at Mandan for s days and
was given to the jury after sup

that the jury stood 9 to 8 for
acquittal on the first ballot. .-.s..
About IS witnesses were taken
down from Beach for this prose-

the cost Of the trial to Billings
county will be $1,000. There was

MCCLELLAN BUSY

Hon. Geo. Mcclellan has been
in communication for some time
with Hon. L. B. Hanna at Wash
ington. with an endeavor to have
a bill framed and introduced in
congress which, if passed, would
repeal the present law concerning
isolated tracts of land. AS it is
now, it is impossible to obtain
such pieces Of land other than by
homestead entry. There are sew
eral of these tracts in the Golden
Valley that farmers would pur-
chase and cultivate if such could
be done for cash, but they do not
feel as though they can afford to
sacrifice their homestead right for
such a few acres. George, appar-
emily, didn't spend two months in
Bismarck last winter for nothing.

Bismarck the !.
OsS wv ~. e T.,
Logical Point
II North Dakota is to Have an In
dustriaI Exposition Let's Try and
Have Bismarck the Favored Citv

Bismarck is trying to get the
State Industrial Exposition and
we believe that they are justified
in asking for it. 1t is not only
the capital city, but is better situ-
ated economically and geographic
cally than any other city in the
state.
This is going to mean great
thing for North Dakota. Each
county will participate in friendly
competition for prizes to be
offered by the state for the best,
largest and most complete exhib-
it of agricultural. dairying and
manufactured products which each
county produces. 1t will be we'll
to say right here that the
Golden Valley farmer ought to be-
gin to save the best samples of
wheat, flax, etc., to be sent to the
exposition on the date set. Let's
get some of the blue ribbons in
the Golden Valley-we can show
the goods. -. =
In addition to the foregoing
there will be educational, domes-
tic science and art departments,
supervised by competent instruc-
tors. In fact, all branches will be
embraced in this exhibition so as
to make it so general that it will
appeal to all the people.
Oregon, Washington, Montana,
Minnesota and South Dakota have
their exhibitions of grain. Why
not North Dakota have an exposi-
tion to attract people and exhibit
its products and receive publ.
city?
Bismarck is trying hard to get
the exposition there, and. we be-
lieve, it is logical point. Visit
ors will be compelled to travel
several hundred miles across the
state and they will see the Red
river on the east and the Golden
Valley on the west. 1t will cost
no more to bring exhibits from
Fargo than it will cost to bring
them from Beach.

The Stockweu-I|
BrintoIl Case
viii Cost Upwards Of $5,Ooo--Is
Of Little Importance Beach Pao-
pie Disguised With WheIs Affair

The following, taken from last
weeks Mandan News. gives some
idea as to what the people Of that
city think of the cases against the
Chronicle editor:
''The jury in the Brinton as
sault case reported to the court at
nine this morning. finding the
defendant not guilty.
Judge Nuchols delivered an
eminently fair charge to the jury
at s o'clock last evening and the
twelve men, good and true, ar
rived at a verdict at o'clock this
morning, but the judge did not
give them chance to report until
9 o'clock.
''The Brinton assault case has
occupied the attention of the dis
trict court during the entire
week, the matter going to the
jury for the verdict last evening
at 6 o'clock. The regular calen-
dar has not been touched, and, as
the Oliver county court sets in the
Immediate future, very little of
the present calendar will be dis
posed of during the present term.
'The jury in. the Brinton mat
ter has been in charge of bailiffs
since last Thursday, when it was
finally chosen, after exhausting the
entire panel. Quarters have been
maintained at the Nigey hotel and
the jurors have been under close
observation. The motion that
they should be in charge Of the
court official was made by General
Hildreth as soon as the choice as
to the jury had been made.

six or seven took the stand to give
light to the contentious Of the de.
fense. Many others than those
who were on the stand, all resi-
dents of Beach, have been in the
city since the trial began, and
were evidently much interested in
the outcome.
"That Editor Brinton is being
made a victim of factional strife
in affairs Of Billings county is
certain. Mr.. Brinton, besides be.
ing engaged in the publishing
business, is postmaster in the
Golden Valley city. He was one
of the aldermen and an aggressive
scrt of fellow. Difficulties
arose between the complaining
witness, Leonard Stockwell, and
he.
'.In the affair which the trial
has resulted from, Brinton claims
to have defended himself from the
harm which earlier in the same
day Brinton was whipped by
Stockwell in a hand -to.hand fight
and had carried leather club fol

contend that the instrument he
used was ''billy'' or leather in.

81 Paso, Feb. 3-Ciudad Jaurez Is
practically depopulated, today, every
one who could having fled to this side
OF the Rio Grande. The post office
and banks there have been closed and
brought to this city for safe keeping.
There has been considerable fighting
beyond the town between the rebels
and the Federal troops and the latter
are slowly falling back before the
assaults OF their foemen. The casual
ties to date are not believed to be
heavy although details are not now
available.
Housetops in Jaurez have been for
titled and cannon have been mounted
on the roofs of the public buildings.
The Federal commander promised a
stubborn resistance when the assault
on the city, which the rebel COM
mander had set for three o'clock this
afternoon, should begin.
The rebel army. under command Of
General Orozco, is advancing in force
and outnumbers the garrison of Jaurez.
Orozco complied with all of the de-
rnands of modern warfare by notifying
the foreign consuls that he would
shell the city at the designated hour
and giving them sufficient time to
get their people out of the city That
the Federal troops hardly expect to
retain the city is shown by the action
OF the police in blowing up, last night,
the government powder house on Mesa
in order to prevent it falling into the
hands OF the rebels.
Orozco's brother is in the Jaurez jail,
held on a charge of treason. The reb-
el commander sent word to the Off
cials that IL his brother is harmed he
