MARMON REPORTS
HORSE SHOOTING
TWO HORSES REPORTED SHOT NEAR
MARM0N LAST WEEK--PARTY
DOING SHOOTING UNKNOWN


Our Marmon correspondent in
forms US that two horses we're
shot and killed near there last
week and that q third one was
shot but not seriously injured.
The two killed were two and three
years old and belonged to Gudor
Loken and Fred Anderson. The
injured colt belonged to G. Loken.
The animals had been turned out
on the prairie to feed. We un-
derstand that Mr.. Loken inquired
throughout the neighbor b ood
where the colts had been running
and failed to find any one who
had been bothered by them. =
The deliberate killing of an ami
NAL in this manner is on . par
with horse stealing and if it was .
deliberate killing of healthy
young animals as it appears from
the reports then the guilty parties
should be punished.

ENDS HIS LIFE ~. !. ..
WITH REVOLVER
PETER HElBERT OF WnEEL0CK SHOT
HIMSELF LAST THURSDAY WITH
REVOLVER-WAS UNMARRIED

Peter Heibert q prosperous young
farmer living four miles south of
Wheelock shot and killed himself
with a revolver last Thursday af-
ternoon. Pat Lynch, a neighbor,
while talking with Heibert on the
phone the night before noticed
there was something wrong and
went over to Heibert's house. He
found him seemingly demented so
sent for DR.. Gray. When the
doctor arrived he saw that Heibert
was not right mentally. Lynch
and another neighbor who was
there left to 60 over to the for
mers house and while they were
away Heibert went to his trunk
and got = revolver and several
shells. The doctor tried to get
possession of the gun but could
not and was ordered from the
house. He went out and started
to run over to Lynch's place which
was near by but only got 4 short
distance from the house when he
heard a shot. He got the other
men and returned to Heibert's.
They found him lying on his bed
with the revolver in his right hand.
He had shot himself just above
the right eye. He. was not dead
but died Friday morning without
regsining consciousness. G. M.
Thomas held an inquest and the
jury decided that deceased had
killed hlmself while in \ fit of in
sanity. Heibert was thirty two
years old, single, and had two
brothers one in South Dakota and
one in Omaha. They both came
to Wheelock and took the body to
Omaha for burial. The deceased
owned a half section of land and
considerable stock.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT NORTH
DAKOTA ucNr1E- GOOD TEST

In the bulletin recently gotten
out BY D. T. Randall and Henry
Kreisinger, the results of the tests
of North Dakota Ignite, Is . fuel
for power plant boilers, are fully
set forth. The tests were made By
the United States Geological sur
vey in cooperation with the United
States Reclamation. service. The
latter having erected large pump
ing plant at Williston. (Steam
boilers were installed with furnaces
designed to burn a brown Ignite
that was mined on adjacent govern
ment land.
These tests we're important BE-
cause the Ignite deposits of the
state are very extensive and the
distance of this coal region is 50
great that q large part Of the,
United States, including North and
South Dakota and Montana, will
no doubt be greatly benefited BY
any improvements in the methods
of utelizing this local fuel supply.
The results of these tests show
that this fuel may be used With
fair economy under boilers that
generate their fuel rated capacity.
The tests were made under the
personal direction of Henry Kreis-
niger. who was assisted by F. f.
Woodman of the Geological SUR
vey aud G. E. Draper. electrical
assistant of the Reclamation SER
vice. The furnace temperature
measurements we're made BY j. X.
Clement and the fue gases sampled
and analvzed by f. J. Hoffman,
b Ith of the survey. The chemical
work on coal and ashes was done
at the chemical laboratory of the.
Geological survey at Pittsburg,
Pa, under the direction Of F. N.
Stanton. The computations we're
made at Pittsburg under the d.
rection of Lauson Stone.
The object of these tests was to
show that the Ignite Goals Of North
Dakota are suitable for making
steam and. also, to determine the
effect of the size and weatherin9
of coal on economy and whether
anything is gained by superheating
the steam used in the Argand
steam blowers.

AGGREGATED zoo MILLION

Trade of the United States with
its noncontiguous territories aggre.
gated two hundred million dollars
in the calendar year 1910, against
one hundred million in the calendar
year 1908, the first year for which
complete statistics of this trade are
available. The figures of the Bu-
reau of Statistics, Department of

this trade in the year ending Dec.
81, 1910, to be $2o2, ,494, ,343, and
in the year ending Dec. 81, 1903,
500, ,107, ,234, an increase of 100
per cent, while the trade with
other parts of the world was in
creasing about 40 per cent. The
territories in question are Alaska,
Hawaii, Porto Rico, the Philip
pines, Guam, Tutuils and the Mid

The value of the merchandise
shipped from the territories in
question to the United States in
1910 was $111,731,O31, against
1876, 756 in 1908. The value of
the merchandise shipped from the

territories was 800. 1888 against
$38, $780, ,478 in 1903. The increase
In the period from 1903 to 1910
was thus 80 per cent in the value
of merchandise shipped from the
territories in question to the United
States; and 139 per cent in the
value of merchandise shipped from
the United States to those terri
tories.
The above figures do not include
movements of gold and silver.
The value of domestic gold shipped |
from Alaska to the United States
in 1910 was in round terms Is
million dollars, and of foreign gold

3H million dollars; while the value
of domestic gold shipped from
