STAR WITNESS
IN DAHL CASE
JAMES THOMAS cAsHEs ALLEGED
WORTHLESS DRAFT AT sEMiDJl
REPRESENTING He HAD FUNDS
AT WILTON, NJ. D.-To ANSWER
LARCENY CHARGE.

James Thomas was arrested at Be-
midi Wednesday and taken to Fergus
Falls yesterday to answe, to a charge
OF grand larceny in the second degree.
The charge is that he presented and
cashed draft at the Scandia bank OF
Fergus Falls, representing that he had
funds In bank at Wilton, N. d.. and
IL later developed that he had none.
Thomas went to Fergus Falls from
Moorhead a few weeks ago. having
been the principal witness at the Louis
Dahl murder trial.
Thomas came to Moorhead from the
harvest fields in North Dakota and
happened to be in the saloon at the
time Louis Dahl had trouble with the
man Thryvig Fossum. who later died
from injuries inflicted by Dahl and for
which the latter was sent to the peni-
Tertiary. Thomas went from here to
Fergus Falls and there told a story to
the papers there casting reflections
upon the sheriff and other officials
without the least particle of founda-
ton. He claimed to be we'll connected
at Wilton, ". D., but no one there
thought well enough OF him to sign
MS bond to appear as witness. The
county attorney presented the charge
against Thomas TO the grand jury of
Otter Tail county yesterday afternoon.

Grain Opinions,
BrOonlhall.

Ware & Leland: We do not regard
the wheat situation as a bullish one
but on support from the local long in
terests is likely to appear On the dips
suggest a conservative attitude for the
time being.
Clement Curtis G. Co: This break
in both wheat and corn affords a
splendid opportunity for taking on a
good line as the market will continue
to work higher.
Shearson Hammill & Co.: The set
back from the recent bulge should be
healthy and may extend farther but
we still think wheat should be bought
on good declines at the speculative po-
sition warrants that position.
Finley Darrell & Co.: Bulls are in
position where they will be forced to
support wheat as a matter of self pro-
lection until trade broadens sufficiently
to permit Of their unloading. Buying
orders will doubtless be in evidence
on all breaks.

What Do Farm. Paw

Kansas City Star: If it takes four
horses to pull a two-horse load the
average Missouri farmer figures" that
tie bad road has not cost him any
thing because he has the extra horses
anyhow.
This is merely an instance Of many
which show that the average farmer
does not figure at all, and that the
business of farming is the least scien-
tlhcally conducted of all businesses.
The newly established department of
farm management Of the Missouri Ag-
ricultural college is as important in
the field of instruction as commercial
colleges are. Farm accounting" ia
pretty nearly a neglected science. The
farmers. who, in spite of high prices,
make little more money from 800 acres
or good land than German farmers
wofld make from forty acres of equal
fertility ought to realize that there are
other factors affecting farm incomes
thar simply the two of getting up at
4 o'clock in the morning and keeping
down taxes.

that the accident was due to careless
