TO Prevent Field Drifting.

John Groop, one of our pros
porous farmers, stopped in the
other day and told us of way to
stop grain from blowing out of
the ground. Two years ago Mr..
Groop covered twenty acres of
growing grain with seven loads
OF old straw by throwing it and
letting it go with the wind, and
it saved the entire piece which
had started to uproot. 1t does
not require much work on a
windy day and besides saving
the grain you cover, it proves to
be good mulch for the ground.
OF course it is rather late in the
game for this year, but it would
be well to remember this and
try it another year if the grain
starts to blow. 1t is far better
to utilize straw in this way than
to burn it.-F'rederick Free
Press.

1.-THE OLYMPIAN"
First Arrival Of the New TranscontinentaI
Train OF the Milwaukee e-The Finest
String Of Cars in the World.

The establishment by the Mil
Waukee road of its through pas
senger service to the coast,
which was inaugurated this week
by the running of the splendid
new trains known as the Olymp-
ian and Columb bian, drew a large
crowd of citizens to the depot last
Monday afternoon, when the first
train OF this service pulled in on
schedule time at ) o'clock.
The train consisted of nine
cars and is said to be the finest
train in the United States, being
composed of all steel cars with
the latest improvements and
equipment-a mail and bag
gage car, observation cars with
ladies tea room, barber shop and
bath and large observation
platform, drawing room com
partment and standard and
tourist sleeping cars and coaches.
This new train service now
gives Milbank an east and west
train service of eight passengers
daily. The new limited trains,
which make a continuous run be-
tween Chicago and Seattle, only
stop at two stations between
Minneapolis and Milbank, the
stops being at Monteyideo and
Glencoe, and on the west run the
only stops are at Waubay to get
water and at Bristol for the ac-
commodation of passengers on
the south line. To make con-
nections on the Fargo line, pas
sengers are supposed to come on
to Milbank, and it is rumOred
that the Fargo trains may later
be started from this point.
10 welcome the new train the
band was brought out and played
several pieces, and the passen-
gers and railroad officials aboard
seemed particularly pleased
with the greeting which the ar
rival OF the train received.

LAW VIOLATED
SAYS BARROW
fspec,al from United Press,

Especial from United Press.)
Indianapolis, April 25-Stating that
the law had been clearly violated anu
that the Mcnamara case here was an
exact parallel of the famous Meyer
Haywood case in which he
was counsel, Clarence s. Darrow. the
noted Chicago attorney. today prepar-
ed the following statement for the
United Press:
(By Clarence S. Darrow.)
The law is well settled everywhere
that a fugitive from justice means
one who is present in the state at inc
time and place of the commission OF
a crime and then fled to another
State. John J. Mcnamara was not
in California at the time of the COM
mission of the crime Of which he is
charged, then there was no legal way
of getting him to California except by
his consent. 1t is not claimed that
Mcnamara was In Callfornla at tle
time of the commission of this crime
ar for a long time previous.
The Governor of California made
reouisition on the Governor of In
diana without knowing the facts or
considering that there was anything
unusual in the case. Under the sta
tute it was then the duty OF the Of
ficer having Cioi SO u MIOA>e1i6A" :.
take him before circuit, superior Or
criminal court for a judge thereof to
inquire two things; first, whether he
was the man mentioned in the requi-
sition and, secondly, whether he was
in California and not in Indiana at
the time of the commission of the
crime. Mcnamara was taken before
a police Judge who had not authority
to hear the case. He asked for coun-
sci and was refused. The judge ask
ed him simply whether he was Nc
Namara. Without any opportunity for
defense he was taken to an automo-
bile and rushed out of the State. He
never had a chance to invoke the law.
The case is exactly parallel with the
Meyer Haywood-Pettibone cases where
these three men were arrested at night
upon requisition of the Governor Of
Idaho, held secretly, denied counsel.
or access to court and then taken on a
special train to another State.

BARN BURNED
WITH HORSES
AND CATTLE

Redding, April 25-The barns Of the
Patrick Mcdonald place on Redding
Ridge were burned between 10 and
IL o'clock, last night. The fire is of
unknown origin, but incendiarism is
apparent. With the barns were burn
ed six cows, three calves, three horses,
several vehicles and a quantity of hay
and grain. The loss is from $1,000 to
So, 500.
The house is near the barn and for
Or three hours was in great danger,
being saved only by the strenuous ex-
ertions Of a volunteer brigade, which
included the pupils Of the Sanford
school, who did highly valuable SER
vice. The residence Of Jesse L. San
ford nearby was in serious peril also,
and would have been lost, but for
preventive measures. The Mcdonald
house was on fire two Or three times,
but the blaze was put out. The Nc
Donald well is near the barn and the
force that did the pumping had to
have their heads protected with wet
cloths. The insurance is not more
than quarter of the loss. Patrick
Mcdonald and his wife, both died
within recent period, and the place
is occupied by their son. James ano
the two daughters, Misses Jennie and
Isabel. They are sisters of Mrs John
J. Colgan and Mrs. John NJ Sullivan
