PhiIadelphfans now meet John J. Nc
Graw and his Giants of the National

these two generals have clashed over

McGraw, known to fandom as the
Napoleonic leader of the Giants has
won three league pennants for New

his team has never finished below

JvDs0N la INQUIRE DENIES
Echo From the Cowan Trial Heard In
Statement Of Veteran Senator.

Denial of charges that were made
in the recent Cowan Impeachment case
against State Senator Judson La
Moure, to the effect that he had stated
previous to the trial that there was
no possible chance of impeachng
Judge Cowan, and that he himself
would not vote against the jurist. Is
contained in a statement published at
Grand Forks This denial has par.
ticular reference to statement made
by Attorney Divit of Wahpeton when
he was on the stand Instead of max
ing the statement attributed to him
Senator La Moure declares he said
that of his own personal knowledge he
knew that the charge of habitual
drunkenness was not founded on fact;
that he did not believe delayed cases
constituted an impeachment offense,
but that he would vote to impeach
Cowan if it was shown that he had
used his office for corrupt purposes.

SOME FARMERS DISSATISFIED
WITH CAMPBELL SYSTEM

Some Of the farmers who have the
lighter soil, and who have been try
ing out the Campbell system this year,
are not entirely satisfied with results
They have ound that working their
land too much tended to loosen the
soil on the surface so that the unusnr
ally hard winds which we have had
this spring, have done some damage
to their land Now this may not be
the fault of the Campbell system, but
it is no doubt due to large extent
to the efforts Of those farmers to
try it out. Major Murphy says the
Campbell system is all right when
worked along the correct lines. He
does not believe in making too fine a
dust mulch, but rather wants his land
covered with small Jumps of dirt. In
farming, farmer will no doubt learn
that he has to guage the system large
Iy to the circumstances. Had this
been a calm spring, the farmers who
are now blaming the Campbell system
would no doubt have been praising 1t.
The Independent believes that II the
farmers would follow the teachings Of
the N. D. Agricultural college pretty
closely, they will not go far amiss.

will apply better, and when they say
dust, they don't mean dust, but a
loose top of say two inches. This you
can have all the time by narrowing
the grain at the right time or discing
your stuhble after the binder.
Some Of our FARMERS have been
heard to say, "Oh, This Is impossible,
to much work. Can't find the time"
All / have to say in answer to their
remarks, is this, you will have to
arrange for this kind of work, you
will have to worR out your own sal
vatiOn." No che can arrange that
fer you, but ii you are going to con-
tinue raising grain, you had better
commence right this year and farm
or the coming year you have the mois-
ture now already in the SOIL Now
keep it there.

SAYS FLOAT is
0ETR'MENT TO SOIL

= ! ~ .
Mr. Editor OF the Independent:-ln
answer to Mr.. Weatherwax's article
of this issue, by your request.
MIR. Weatherwax is not fully decid-
ed as to which is the best tool for
sub-surface packing. The double
disc drill, or the Campbell sub-sur.
face packer.
If Mr.. Weatherwax will go into a
field just plowed and follow Camp
bell sub-surface packer for only
short time, walking behind machine
that is well loaded down, he will be
convinced that there is nothing equal
to the Campbell sub-surface pacbss
to put the soil back in good condition.
Thus the moisture is retained. We
wish to say right here with good
furrow slice well laid over, We come
to a point on condition of soil tillage
that has baffled many progressive
farmer and caused a loss Of millions
of dollars and that is the loose condi-
ton in the bottom of the furrow. In
walking over newly plowed field,
you will observe the trashy stuff is
plowed under. This you will agree
with me mas tendency to separate
the furrow slice from the lower
strata and prevent a connection in
the capillary system, but if you will
haul a Campbell sub-surface packer
that is we'll loaded, it will press the
soils together and squeeze the air
spaces out These loose air spaces
are what prevent a good even growth
of grain above them.
Instead Of this trashy matter acting
as an air duct, and conveying vol
ume air, underneath the ploWeG
surface and not only drying out all
the moisture, but cutting off all pos
sibility of supplying the plant by cap
Hilary attractions with water from be-
low by sub-surface packing, you have
this vegetable matter in the best pos
sible condition for rapid decomposi-
ton, as moisture will Immediately
gather in the firmed soil around this
matter.
The most important part of this soil
tillage is thoroughly lned and we'll
firmed stratum just beneath the sur
face soil.
Now word about the dust blanket.
Some farmers are using a float or
plang drag 70 sfooth the field before
going over with the drill, this tool has
been used / t. k to a detriment to
the soil, making too fine dust If
you will take Campbell sub-surface
packer, load it down and drive the
opposite way from that which you
drill, you will have less trouble by
blowing and drifting OF the soil. !
might say right here that don't think
that all the writer's mean d dust
blanket on top when they use the
word dust, but the word loose blanket

BROKE OUT rs WINDOW PANEs

a one legged stranger who no doubt
was full of dope, entered the big white
house near the G. N. depot, unoccupi-
ed, and owned by N. j. Coddington,
and proceeded to make night hideous
for those in that neighborhood by
breaking out the window lights with
his crutch. Judge Murray was Motif
ed and securing Deputy Sheriff Dan
Dougherty, went at once to the house,
arriving in time to see the fellow
knock out the twenty-sixth and last
window pane. The fellow then bar
red the doors and hid in a closet.
Murray entered the dark room, and
with difficulty opened the closet door.
The fellow struck at him with crutch
but missed. Murray, who was uu-
armed, aimed 40 tho he had a %
in his hand and told the fellow to
step out or he'd kill him. Murray
held a big rock in his hand. The
fellow came out, and stood against
the outer door The Judge saw the
fellow, who was very powerful was
about to attack him and threw rock
close to him. AS he opened the door,
Dougherty grabbed him and they plac-
ed the fiend in the auto. Believing
there were others in the house Murray
went back to search, and the fellow
broke loose from the auto and went
acros the street with his one leg fast
er than an ordinary man could have
with two. He hid in another house.
1t took five men to over power him,
when he was landed in Jail.

TRIAL BEGINS IN BAY STATE IF
 QUEER CASE
Man Chased All Over Europe Brought Back on Mur-
 der Charge,

SALEM, Mass, Feb. 13.-Aftep having eluded the police in a chase half way around the world, only to be run to earth at last m a little mountain village of Bulgaria, Vahan salbandlan will be placed Oh trial here Monday for an alleged mur CT committed in Lynn in July 1909. The victim o fthe tragedy was Minas o. Monjian, the friend and roommate of Valbandian. One day in July, 1908, Monijian's body was found Tn trunk in his room with a bullet through tLe heart. He had been q d for several days when found. Val bandian was missing. The police al ieee that Monijian had several hun dred dollars, which had also dis appeared.
 An indictment for murder was re- turned against yalbandian and the hunt for him pecan The police chased him to England, and then through Germany. Only by jumping rom one city to another and keeping always on the move did the fugitive escape arrest in Germany. For a time the police lost trace Of him, and then he was relocated in Alexandria, Egypt Through an acquaintance Of he chief of Tolice of Lynn. who had heen in Alexandria, the Massachu setts authorieties got in communira- ton with a mission priest in the Egyptian city and persuaded him to keep them informed as to Yalban-
 iians movements.
 The priest followed valbandian to Silistria in Bulgaria. Here Valban- Fian evidently thought himself safe. Tor the police learned that he had | stated a small clothing store there. The United States consul at Bucha- rest was communicated with and Nalbandian was taken into custody by the Bulgarian authorities and held 10 await extTadition.
 The evidence of alleged murder is purely circumstantial so far as Val | hancian is concerned. Since his con. l 'inement in iail here the young Bul- garian is said 10 have admitted thal | 7e shot Monipsan, but declared that # was purely an accident This the1- ' " is substantiated by the fact that l the two men were warm friends and he'd been seen chstting pleasantly fogether only a short time before | the killing is believed to have oc- cured While va'bandian may have cancelled the body after Che accident | al killing and fled through fear. there is much eidence to indicate | 'hSt he rofbed his friend.
