some excitement for a short time
though no one was hurt and no
serious damage resulted. Deg
Drew was coming into town with
a hay rack bottom on his wagon,
and as he neared the city the
bottom commenced to slide ahead
striking the horses and causing
them to start. They ran into
the fence at the Mahoney resi-

selves from the wagon. They
then took across the fields and
were met by two men about half
a mile out of town and stopped.

Crop Ot Prairie Chickens Said
to IBe Unusually Good
!. This Season

This great Bowbells country
has a diversity of bumper crops
this year, and the festive prairie
chicken is one of them. This
section will be the hunters para
disc without any question and no
calamity is possible to prevent
the harvest barring wet powder.
While the chickens were abun-
dant q year ago, the conditions for
hunting were very bad. The
grain was short and was harvest
ed so close to the ground that
there was no hunting at all in
the threshed grain fields as there
was no cover at all, the birds be-
ing in plain view far beyond gun
range. thus a covey had to be
raised once or twice and driven
to the grass before the hunter
and his dogs had any chance at
all.
This year the conditions are
just the reverse: The stubble is
left long in most places and the
birds are far more numerous
than a year ago, as less than
half of the average covey was
cleaned up last year, many COW
eys escaping practically unharm-
ed, getting so wild before the
season was we'll advanced that
they could not be reached be-
cause of the poor cover.
AS usual, bird dogs are at a
premium, and fancy prices are
offered for any kind of a dog.
Every rig in the city has been
hired for the 9TH. ~. ,~,...< .

their favorite grounds, there is

Yeggmen Crack Safe, Secure
Big Haul and Make Their
Escape Monday Night T.

Between two and three O'Clock
Monday morning yeggmen en-
tered the postoffice at Flaxton
by prying off a wire screen on
one of the back windows, and
breaking the window pane.
They blew the safe open, getting
away with $500 worth of stamps,
$500 worth of jewelry, $500 in
cash and two registered letters.
The postofice is located in the
L. V. Randall jewelry store.
The safe was opened by ham,
mering the combination lock off
the door, pouring nitro-glicerin
into the cavity and setting it off.
The job was done very quietly
and though some people sleeping
in an adjoining building thought
they heard some noise during the
night, they did not go out to in
vestigate. The burglary was
not discovered until daylight
when Postmaster Gee entered
the postohice.
Sheriff Dick Stainhofer of this
city was notified as was also the
postofice department Immediate
ly after the discovery and Dick
went down on the dinky imme-
diately after receiving the mes
sage. He spent the entire day
in Flaxton and Portal, but was
unable to get any clue that
lead to the capture of the bur-
glars. Others are also working
on the case and it may be that
something will develop later on.
Those who saw the blown-up
safe Monday morning state that
it was about as neat a job as was
ever done in the state. Only
enough Of the explosive was
used to throw the door open,
leaving the rest of the safe in
tact.

on the contrary it is livelier this

The vines shown The Tribune
looked more, like currant bushes
than potato tops, and each vine
had all the way from ten to fif-
teen potatoes clinging to the
roots, which spuds were as large
