MORE TROUBLE At BELFlELD :
A LAnDMAN IS ARRESTED

,lety week D. p. Piesik of Bel6eld was
arrested on complaint of a homesteader
by the name of Hopechuck residing north
west of Dickinson.
Mr.. Piesik was taken before Justice
A. r. Folsom and his bond fixed at
1000. The hearing is set for February
IA. Senator L. A. Simpson has been
engaged to defend and a legal battle
royal is anticipated.
Mr.. Hopechuch claims that he
bargained to take a half section of land
Of D. P. Piesik at $22 per acre and that
his homestead quarter was to be turned
in on the purchase price at $40 per
acre. He says that he gave the Belield
land man title to the homestead and
was to Oct the deed for the half section
in a few days. The next time he~saw
MI. Piesik. so the story goes. he was
advised that the half section would be
priced at $29. The old farmer went
home very sorrowful but finally concluded
that he would have to accept the terms
and so indicated to Mr.. Piesik but was
informed that land had taken another
advance and the price would be SIS per
acre. About this time the farmer
thought he needed the help Of the states
attorney and saw Mr. Murtha.
This is the claim Of the complaining
witness as nearly as could be learned at
the time Of going to press. What the
line Of defense will be will probably not
be known until next Tuesday.

Committee PUSH COUNTY
FARMING CONGRESS WORK

There was a representative number of
business men at the Commercial Club
rooms last Friday night to confer with
President T. S. Underhill on farming
congress work in Stark and adjoining
counties. W. X. Everett presided.
President Underhill stated that he
wanted to see plans formulated looking
to a county exhibit in the fall and a
good line of prizes for the best grains
and vegetables raised. He thought that
a general announcement should be made
al an early date in order that the farm
mers might be planning for the fair.
The plan was heartily concurred in
and the men present pledged themselves
to enter into the work at once, it being
the general belief that this was one of
the very best ways of encouraging better
farming.
AS a general committee to have
charge of the matter. Mr.. Everett ap-
pointed F. D. Hevener. A. D. Heaton.
W. l.. Richards, Geo. M. Frye and j.
W. Reed. Supt. l. r. Wa]dron, Presi-
dent T. S. Underhill and Secretary Fred
Maser to be ex-oficis members of the
committee.
1t is expected that the committee
will be ready to report in the near
future. furnishing a general outline Of
the years work, particularly the prizes.
In other parts of the state, banks and
other business houses are making up
lists of prizes for the corn and small
grains and it is believed that our COM
mittee will have great success in this
respect in Dickinson.
President Underhill left the first of
this week on his eastern trip, fully
satisfied that the matter was in the
hands of good men and that the results
would be both profitable and gratifying.

to give instruction, conduct drills and
keep a watchful eye on the boys. help

are schools in the country which are
graduating young men for just this work,
the same as librarians and other pro-
fessions.
On motion the chair was instructed to
APPOINT a committee of seven. himself q
member. to consider the matter from
every standpoint, and report at the
Commercial Club rooms in one week.
The committee is considering the
various places in the city which could
be used for Y. M. C. A. purposes. The
committee selected is as follows :
R. H. johnson.
Thomas n. Puah.
J. w. Reed.
John Orchard.

NJ. A. Scherfius.
W. L. Richards.
One place which the committee has
under consideration is the armory. The
structure has so feet frontage by 141
feet in depth and in many ways would
be very suitable.
1t is possible that State Secretary
Miller will be in attendance at the
meeting next Monday night.

secured the names Of about 40. Men,

the armory board, and it is understood
that they are quite willing to entertain
a proposition from the Y. M. C. A.
committee. In many ways the militia
company could work very nicely with q

Subls@!:@t: Historical So
Legislative Members Visit Station
to Ascertain Its Needs in Way
of Appropriation. Import
ance of Alfalfa.

90. ~ W SSAASSNA :
Emmons county, Senator C. S. Trimble
of Westhope and Senator W. L. Carter
of Wahpeton came to Dickinson last
Saturday as a legislative committee to
visit the Dickinson experiment station
to see what the needs of the institution
were in the way of an appropriation for
191l-12.
On account of the heavy fall of SNOW
the. committee had rather. q difiuclt
time in getting out to the station. They
started In an automobile but the driver
found the roads impossible when he
reached the township line west of the
city limits and It became necessary for
the committee to walk for nearly q half
mile.
Al the Dickinson experiment station
Supt. L r. Waldron gave the legislators
q hearty welcome and was able to
interest these men in the great work
which he has 80 ably and thoroughly
carried on at the farm. They found that
the: IS, 600 maintance appropriation for
the year 1e09-10 had been wisely ex-
pended.
The station needs more money. The
Superintendent is called upon to contri-
butte a great many articles to state
papers and leading farm journals of the
country he also has innumerable letters
to answer, bulletins to compile, and
should have funds sufficient to enable
him to employ a s~tenographer.
Any one who visits the station and
examines critically the work done can
not fail to see that a great deal for the
farmers Of Western North Dakota is be-
ing accomplished. In fact, the expert
ments carried on at Dickinson. under
the supervision Of L. r. Waldron, are
extremely valuable to all sections of
North Dakota. Particularly is this true
regarding alfalfa, which is destined to
become a great state crop. To make
this more emphatic the following
paragraph, clipped from a t~hree-column
alfalfa article in a recent issue of the
Minneapolis Journal, is given:
THE sub experiment station al Dick
inson, N. D., is conducting the most
thorough test of the qualities of all
alfalfas that has ever been made. At
present there are 217 different strains
from every alfalfa drowning region in
the world being experimental On at
Dickinson. The bulletin written by Mr..
Brand contains: the first compiled results
of this experiment. an Investigation
conducted on, a plot of sixty-eiGht
strains. Of these s%ixty-eight strains.
two were from Africa. five from South
America, fifteen from Europe, four from
Arabia. twelve from Turkestan, three
from Mongolia, two from Canada. two
from. Mexico and twenty-five from the
United States. OF these sixty-eight
strains. the two Grimm varieties in the
United States groupe led the whole field
in hardness by a large margin. OF
these two strains, M winter-killed 2.8
per cent, the other 2 per cent. The
nearest competitor was q Twkestan
strain which winter-killed 90 per cent.
From Dickinson the committee went to
Hebron on Monday co look up gas and
briquetting experiments conducted there
by Supt. Snyder.

CORONER SUSPECTS MURDER
investigation Of Burned Cabin Brings
Gruesome Facts to Light.

While Deputy Coroner H. G..
Seeley Of Duluth does not say so di.
rectly his conduct in the investigation
of the death of Mr.. and Mrs. e. A.
Newman, the Minneapolis couple
whose charred bodies were found in
the burned ruins Of their cabin two
miles from Allen Junction, establishes
the belief that he thinks the couple
were murdered and robbed.
Mr.. Newman had his clothes on
when he died in the cabin. The cloth
ing was all burned, but the buckles OF
his vest were under the remains. and
other facts establish the fact that he
was not in bed when the cabin burned.
Some of the kitchen utensils Of the
Newman house were found hidden
near the cabin Articles of jewelry
which bore marks of Identification are
the only ones that have not been re-
covered
