: Some seed corn was brought
into the free farming school
to be tested for vitality for seed.
Practically all of it ran about
80 per cent to 35 per cent ex

Frank Stone of Antelope, the
boy who won fourth place last
fall in Supt. Barnes school.

Frank has eight ears which
tested 100 per cent and two go.
ing 80 per cent, or an average
of 96 per cent for the lot of ten
ears. This is exceedingly good
for 1911 corn. Any schoolboys
in the contest last year who
have corn which they picked
early aud kept dry ought to
get about S. 90 per bushel for
it this spring. Supt. Barnes
has an inquiry from the west
part of the state for 100 bushels
of good Minnesota No. l3 seed
Nothing would d please him
more than to see the school
boys realize $4,000 or 80 from
such an amount.

About Man.

nas Connected Man With Younu
Now In Pen.

Again referring to Sheriff
Moody's mysterious slayer will
cay that I have found without
a doubt that he was one of the
train robbers who held up the
N. r. train No. 2 near Valley
City in July last. At LaMoure
a reputable busine 8 man told
me that this man was one of
the three men who held up
said train. I asked him if this
was fish story, he replied no,
I have it straight. aud when he
found that his one pal was con-
victed and taken to the prison
at Bismarck and the other pals
wife had given him away to
Chief Mcdonald of Bismarck
who had arrested him, our dee.
perado thought it put up job
between the other man and his
wife 80 the other man could
turn states evidence against
him and his freedom, so resolv.
ed to make a hasty retreat. At
Sanborn I showed one of his
photos to merchant, one of
his staff remarked, "that does
look like one of the train rob.
bers." I asked how he knew.
He replied, we sold them the
caps they wore at the holdup
and which they left on the
ground at the scene of the
holdup. I purchased one of the
caps and showed il to Young,
the convicted man. I asked if
he had ever seen a cap like
that, he replied, yes I had one
like that. I asked where it was,
he replied I lost it off the N. p.
train near Valley City. 1 then
asked him if he could recog.
nize the picture of this man, he
replied yes, that is George Ga
bro, he works for farmer near
Fordville, on the 500 west of
Conway.
At Steele a man recognized
him as a man he had freq uent.
ly met in "A certain saloon and
pool room at Aberdeen and
gave me the cover of check
book this man had given him
which would indicate that he
had done business with the
Farmers Saving Bank at OF.

At Bismarck a gentleman
recognized him as Thos. Brown
of Rockford, Ill, where he work.

would take frequent trips fog a

lots of money. He appears to

from one section of the country
to another, changing his name

him as former inmate of the

that his home state is Iowa. ]
