tween Two Nations.

vitation from President Taft, Baron

lions in Mexico.

ticn of the treaty n to convey to
the mikado the assurances Of the pres
ident's official and personal regard.

the mutton, beef and poultry made

The past season we raised alfalfa
plants by sowing seed in COWS with a
garden drill and cultivating with a
wheel noe, much the same as for car
rots and beets. The plants made a
strong growth and were dug up late In
the fall and are now heeled in out
doors with manure over the earth.
They will be desirable for transplant

Transplanting alfalfa plants is moth

in parts Of India and South America
In dry regions alfalfa seed is now
often raised in cultivated rows. Grow

different propositions.
1t must be remembered that a very
large number of different strains OF

1908 was scattered in a great many
places from our Mexican boundary

do with this distribution as 1t was
done from Washington. However,, I
have worked patiently along with a
small quantity Of each lot and am
ready to send out a few of the best OF
these for trial elsewhere. No seeds
can be spared, but plants only. Some
of the best of these alfalfas have been
started from a ~teaspoonful of seed, so
that it has been slow work. The small
state appropriation will stimulate the
work as there are no federal FUNDS
available for this purpose.

n GAME LAW

Pierre-In order to forestall any
miscOnception of the game law as IL
now stands, in force and effect, State
Game Warden Bancroft has puDllshed
the following:
For the benefit of the sportsmen
of the state, who may be laborlng I'M
der the impression that some material
changes were made by the last legls~
lature affecting the present game and
fish laws of the state the writer VIII
attempt to enlighten them as to the
real state of affairs.
"A new bill was presented to the
legislature having for its main FEATURE
the elimination of the county game
warden system and substituting the
state deputy system. This bill passed
the lower house, but failed to pass the
senate. and thereby did not become a
law.
The only game bills that passed
were the two bills affecting big game.
One Of them was putting a closed
season on antelope indefinitely, and
the other the big game law which
takes the place Of the old one.
This new big game law prohibits
the killing of more than n deer-and
that of the m deer only. Under
this law a deer is the only big game
animal that may be legally killed IN
this state.
"Practically the old game and hsh
laws, with the exception of the above,
are now in full force and effect and
will remain so until changed by a fu-
ture legislature.
"Prairie chickens may be legally
killed next fall from sept. 10 to Oct.
1O-the limit being ten birds per day
and not over twenty-five in possession
of a person at any one time.
"An bills relating to fish and fur
bearing animals failed to pass, as did
also the game and fish commission
bill.
New county game wardens will be
appointed on July LIST throughout the
state, to serve for n year.
The state game warden has already
sent communications to the various
boards of county commissioners in re-
gard to the recommendations for ap-
pointment of county game wardens,
insisting that well qualified men be
recommended"

SHERARD, ENGLISH AUTHOR,
SAYS WIFE's NOVELS ARE HIS.
Sues Former Miss Oseood of America
declares She Treated Him
Like a Dog.

London.-In the trial of the suit
brought by Robert Marlborough, the
English author, against his wife,
Irene Osgood, the American au-
thoress, horses. pigs, cats, manu-
scripts of plays and early divorce pa
pers figured to the great amusement
Of the spectators.
A suit for separation brought by the
wife is pending and the husband in
the present action says that she took
the animals and things mentioned, all
he possessed, and so left him
stranded.
After hearing both stories in detail
the presiding judge decided tina the
defendant must return to her husband
one horse, six pigs and one cat, and
the manuscripts in dispute, or pay
him $40. Mrs. Sherard promptly en-
tered an appeal from the Judgment.
Sherard, describing his life at Guils-
borough Hall, in Northampton, which
is the property of his wife, referred to
the home as my Calvary" He had
been treated like a dog, he declared
and thrice thrown out Of the place.

dramatically. 81 wrote everything
that she is supposed to have written

Irene had given him $500 to be used
in procuring a divorce from his wife
so that he could marry her.
Mrs. Sherard, who is the author OF
ITO a Nun Confessed and "Serv1-
tude" and possesses an income OF be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 a year, en-
tered the witness box and described
how she met Sherard at Cannes,
France.
He was practically without funds,
and she ave him, she said, $500 with
which to buy clothes. She did mol
know at the time that he had been
married previously and was not aware
Of the situation until a few days after
their wedding, when she discovered
his divorce papers. ~Suspecting his al

BENZ. D. GREENE FREE
FINISHES FOUR-YEAR TERM o
HAReoR COMPLETELY.
Takes Pauper's Oath Which Releases
Him From His Portion OF
$4,000 Fine.

Atlanta, Ga.-Benjamin D. Greene.
who, with John F. Gaynor, has
Just completed a four-year term IN
the federal prison here for completely
in the Savannah harbor improvement
frauds, was released, bringing to a
close, so far as he is concerned, a legal
battle that has commanded attention
for the last decade.
Greene's application for leave to
take the pauper's oath in order to es-
cape further liabilities for the S575,OOO
fine imposed on the two men when
they were convicted was granted ait
er a hearing which lasted two days.
John f. Gaynor, Jointly convicted
with Greene, has completed his SEN
tence in the federal prison. His ap-
plication to AXE the pauper's oath is
pending.
The case of the government against
Greene and GaynOr was one of the
most unusual in the annals of Ameri-
can Jurisprudence. More than a dec
ade ago these two were engaged in a
contractual million dollar improve
ment work in Savannah harbor, under
the supervision of Capt. Oberlin M.
Carter.
Trouble began when Carter was ap-
pointed military attache at the court
of st. James. The army officer who
succeeded him, Capt. Cassius e. Gil
lette, found evidences of fraud in the
work, which resulted in a three
months court-martial for Carter, a
fine, a term in L~eavenworth prison,
and, ultimately, in the confiscation by
the government of money he was al
legged to have secured through the
harbor frauds.
Greene and Gaynor were indicted in
December, 1889. The case did not
come to trial in Savannah until March
6. 1902. There was an immediate
recess Of a few days, during which
the defendants went to Canada. The
eXtradition laws did not apply to their
case and for about three years they
lived in Quebec, until or the grounds
of courtesy and friendship the British
government agreed to surrender the
fugitives.
Trial at Savannah began October
8, 1905, lasting until April 10, 1906,
when they we're convicted of embez.
element and sentenced to four years
imprisonment each, and jointly to pay
a fine of $575, 600.

Truly Noble Red Man Dead

Wakpala-Mad Bear, who except
for John Grass, is the last of the
old generation of Sioux Indian chiefs,
Is dead. He was the leader Of the
band which rescued the white family
from the Santees in 1868, near here.
He gave his favorite saddle horse as a
ransom for the white woman from
the hostiles, and with his little band
of friendlies escorted them to Fort
Pierre and turned them over to the
military. Mad Bear was greatly disap-
pointed that all efforts to induce con-
gress to grant him and his band a
medal for their act was unavailing.
Aberdeen-Aberdeen railway mail
clerks, who were recently ousted
from their dormitory in the third
story of the federal building here,
on orders from Washington, have
rented quarters across the street from
the federal building, which they will
fit up for a dormitory.

the leading farmers in the vicinity of
Mansfield are organizing a company

alive farmers elevator at Mansfield.

PACKERS IN DEFEAT
FEDERAL JUDGE OVERRULES MO-
TON TO QUASH INDICTMENTS,
UPsETs PLEA IN ABATEMENT.
GOVERNMENT TO RUSH TRIALS
Decision Denies Right OF Ten Big
Packers to Whitewash as Result Of
Their Testimony Before Grand
Jury In Former Inquiry.

Chicago.-Holding that the immuni-
ty granted by Judge Humphrey Of the
federal circuit court in 1906 did not
apply to the present charges, which,
he declared, were based on evidence
not included in the Humphrey de-
cision, Judge Carpenter in the United
States district court Wednesday over
ruled the demurrer filed by the indict-
ed Chicago packers and they lost their
fight against going on trial on the
indictments obtained by the govern
ment several months ago..
Judge Carpenters decision went
into the controversy relating to i'm
munity with great detail.
In brief, the packers position was
that any conspiracy that might have
existed was the plotting prior to
Judge Humphreys immunity decision.
and that the immunity from prosecu-
ton granted them extended over all
future time, SO long as the acts COW
cred by the 1905 decision remained
the same.
In deciding this, Judge Carpenter
ruled that the immunity granted
them was only for acts which had oc-
CURED prior to the date Of the indict-
ment and could not pertain to n un-
lawful act which was performed after
thai time. The evidence given by the
packers before the grand jury, he
said, could not relate to that which
had not occurred, and hence could
have no future application.
Az to the contention Of the defense
that the conspiracy ended with the
first plotting, he ruled hat SO long as
the acts complained Of continued, the
conspiracy remained in effect, and
unlawful acts growing out of the con
spiracy and occurring after the In
dicted men had testified before the
grand jury we're new and separate Of
lenses and subject to the operation
of law.
In addition, the offenses admitted
before the grand jury by the packers
prior to their immunity and from the
criminal responsibility for which they
were freed by the Humphrey decision,
were defined by the court as none the
less criminal in themselves. He said
they could be used in prosecutions
which were p~redicated on a continue
ton of the onenses.
Following are the defendants: Louis
F. Swift, e. e. Swift, Charles F. Swift
Francis A. Fowler, Edward Tilden. j,
Ogden Armour, Arthur Meeker,
Thomas ]. Corners, Edward Morris
and Louis H. Heyman.
United States District Attorney
Sims said he would In q day or two
demand that the packers be brought
into court to plead to indictments
and have dates set for trial.
