Their Inquests Covered Wide Variety

1t has been supposed and legal his
torians have told us that the Office of
coroner was originally instituted by
King Alfred with that of the sheriff,
both being designed to aid in keeping
the peace when the earls gave up the
wardships of the county. The legal
historians are wrong, according to DR..
f. ]. Waldo of the British MedicO-
Legal society, who has traced the his
tory of the coroner and his ancient
office as far back as the year 1894.
In early days the coroner had
wider and more general jurisdiction
than he now enjoys, Coroners were
wont to "hold their views" not only
upon deaths where an investigation
was considered necessary. but also
upon various serious crimes which
were treated as occasions for the rails
ing of revenue for the crown. The
mission of the coroner to the state
was not alone to investigate crimes
and bring felons to justice. He super
intended the forfeiture of money and
personal property by criminals to the
crown. for the recording of which he
was responsible. These forfeitures
were not confined in cases of violence
and death to the property of the per
son who could be held directly respon-
sible. but included animals and instru-
ments to which loss of human life un-
der any circumstances might be trace
able.-New York World.

DRAGGED TO Death
At end Of ROPE

DICKINSON, Aug. IA small
boy by the name of Bell, whose par
ents live north of Manning, met a
horrible death Tuesday when he be-
came entangled in the throw rope
fastened to his brothers saddle, on
another, horse, and was pulled from
his pony and dragged to death. The
older boy had dismounted and was
tightening the girth on the saddle of
the small boy. The little fellow play
fully picked up the throw rope that
was on his brothers saddle and said
that he would show his brother how
to- make a half hitch. He then threw
the rope up above his head. The rope
came down over his head and fright
ened his brothers horse. The young
boy was jerked from his horse and
dragged a distance of five miles.
When found his clothes were torn
from his mangled body and nothing
remained on him but his shoes.

driver brought the news to this city.

THE HANDY MAN.

His Job Of Vanishing the Door Was
Not q HowIing Success.
Mr.. Brewster thought his front door
looked as though coat of varnish
would do it no harm and resolved to
do it himself to save the expense Of q
painter.
Finding an old golden strip" tin in
the yard. he went of to the shop for
some best oak varnish" He placed
it in the pantry for the night and was
up early next morning and by half
past IL had got the door finished.
II don't like it now it's DONE" he
said to his wife.
Its bad varnish." replied she.
Hes sold you the wrong sort Of
stuff."
He thought so, too. and went back
to the shop. taking what was left with
him.
This Is funny varnish you sold me-"
said he. IT'S dull. sticky stuff"
After examining it the shopman said:
''This is not what I sold you. This is
sirup!'
It then dawned on him that he had
got hold of the wrong tin. and he
went back home to explain to his
wife. who at once said: Good gra-
cious James! And I've made the pud-
ding with the other tinful" Then,

MADDENED THE BEAR.
Ingenious Trap That Was Formerly
Used by the Mexicans.

Ooec by the Mexlcans.
The Mexicans in California had an
ingenious method Of trapping bears
before the advent of the Yankees
brought modern firearms into the re-
gion. A piece of meat was nailed to
the stout horizontal limb of an oak
tree. From limb five or six feet
above rope was suspended, to the
end of which a large stone was made
fast so that 1t hung about six inches
aboye and trif1e nearer the trunk
than the meat on the lower limb.
When bear smelled the meat from
afar he would climb up the tree and
make his way to the bait. In doing
so he would push the stone pendulum
to one side. Just as he was about to
fasten his teeth in the meat the stone
would swing back and bang his head.
This would arouse the anger of the
bear. and he would give the stone a
sweep of bis paw which would send
1t swinging farther out. The conse-
quence was a harder bang and more
anger The more he struck the stone
the harder he would be hit In return.
until. from ferocious anger he would
lose his caution and attack the pendu-
lum with all his vigor. One powerful
sweep. then bang. and brnin would be
tumbled out of the tree to the rocks
below. where. disabled by his fall. he
would be at the mercy Of those who
set the trap whenever they chose to
take him,

U. S. Expert Advises n. D.
Farmers Who Wish TO
Diversity Farming

GRAFTON, N. D., Aug. 11.-Govern-
construction is being extended to the
farmers of northeastern North Dako-
ia, in accordance with plan recently
adopted by the department of agri-
culture It's benefits are being taken
advantage of by Dakota tillers of the
soil who are anxious to diversity their
farming. A. X. Riser of Colorado
Springs, a federal expert who has just
reached the city, is engaged in the
supervision of the construction work
on several farms.
Concrete silos are being given an
extensive tryout. E. H. Pierce. assist.

and Commissioner r. F. Flint will ar

RE of Park River is another farmer
who will have one of the silos con-

throughout the district who are fol-
lowing the plan.
Government interest in dairying in
northeastern North Dakota was gained
only recently when Mr.. Merritt was
sent here to take charge of the work.
He has been engaged through the
Grafton Businee Mems club in arOus-
ing interest in dariying, and has met
with much success. The work OF the
other dairy department expert is q
result of his efforts.
Relative to the construction of con-
crete silos, it is pointed out that the
government men do not urge the con.
struction of any particular kind to
the exclusion of any other, but only
point out the best construction plan
according to local building conditions.
In this district, with plenty of gravel
available, the concrete silo has been
looked upon as the proper type.

tivity of the government is becoming

club successfully carried
a plan that brought in an en-
tire carload of COWS to be distributed
among the farmers to better their
grade of stock.
Further interest among the Park
River farmers was slOWn at a big
dairy meeting in that city addressed
by Expert Merritt. At Hamilton, in
Pembina county, an entire day of the
Pembina county fair was given over
TO the dairying interests.
