GRAIN GROWING NOT
BEST way TO farm

DICKINSON, N. D.. Dec. 2.--Sen-
ator A. l.. Martin of Sentinel Butte
has finished threshing his grain crop
OF $4,000 bushels. He owns his own
machine and had his W crew and
has been threshing when the weather
was suitable since the 18th of Sep
TENDER. Mr.. Martini had 225 acres of
fax that was caught in the snow storm
on October 18th and it was some time
before he was able to stack it. He
says that the wct weather and snow
injured the Grade of wheat to some
extent. He had 16,117 bushels OF
wheat, the balance of his grain being
cats and flax. The average yield for
wheat was about "a bushels per acre,
field yielding as high as 26 bush
els. This extensive Billings county
farmer does not look for much ad-
vance In the price of grain. There is
an enormous crop in the world and
present conditions do not seem to
warrant any material advance. About
three weeks ago Mr.. Martin marketed
nearly a trainload of cattle. the aver
age price for COWS and steers being
$3.50 per head. 1t is Mr.. Martins
intention to take 200 head of cattle to
his wheat farm this winter. He con.
tends the farmers must keep more live
stock on their farms, for he says
exclusive grain farming is not the
proper thing for the land. ~

Farmer DIED Of
Heart FAILURE

LANGDON, n. d., Dec. John
Haines, whose farm is about two and
one-half miles southwest of Easily,
was found lying dead on his bed by.
Dr.. S. G. Gibson, the county coroner
when at the request Of the deceased's
brother and other nearby neighbors,
he made an official investigation.
Facts gathered from those who had
been intimate with Haines went to
show that his death was due to nat.
ural causes. evidently heart failure,
superinduced by acute Bright's dis
ease. The condition Of the body when
examined by Coroner Gibson indicat-
ed that the man had been dead sever
al ways, which was further attested
to by the fact that two Of the three
horses out in the barn were dead,
owing to want Of water and feed, the
third being scarcely able to stand
when led out. Haines lay on his bed
in one corne OF his tar paper shanty,
He had removed his shoes, but had
not otherwise undressed. The fea.
lures indicated that the death had
been painless and peaceful.

VICTIM BY HIS
MISPLACED CONFIDENCE

REEDER, n. D., Dec. 2.-Harvey
Stone was made the victim of mis-
placed confidence in allowing a home
less wanderer to sleep in the restaur
ant. The family and help all have
rooms outside the building, and when
they came down in the morning, about
5 o'clock, to start breakfast, they
found the dining room on fire and
the h. W. missing. Apparently he
had hung some clothing on the stove,
whish had caught fire and, dropping
on the floor, burned a hole through
the linoleum and the floor, and had
it had a little time the restaurant
and probably the entire block would
have been destroyed. Further in
vestigation disclosed the fact that
the Ii. W. had appropriated an entire
suit OF clothes, incloding cap, shirt,
overshoes and Mr.. Stones fur lined
overcoat. To further assist him on
his way, he had also taken a box OF
10 cent cigars and three dollars from
the cash drawer. Up to this time no
trace of the. party or missing clothing
has been found, and it is a safe bet
that hereafter there will be no free
lodging at that restaurant.

CUSH Was pleased
WITH Slope COUNTRY

Fargo Forum: Summer weather
out on the slope and threshing going
on on every side" is what Walter +.
Cushing said this morning, after his
return from a trip to Mandan and
Bismarck. .'
THE weather was simply delight
full out on the slope" said he. III
was as pleasant as any day in sum-
mer, and threshing is going on every
where. There is a great deal of gram
remaining to be threshed, the most OF
it being flax, and the farmers are
pleased that the weather has favored
them so well as it has. l me many
of my old time friends while away
from Fargo and a very much
pleased to see them.
"On my way back | stopped in the
city of Bismarck, and although it has
been only a little over three years
since l left the state capital, I can
see marvellous improvements every
where in the city. The town is grow
ing nicely and / believe that in time
there will be a large city there. There
cannot help but be. The fact that
there is a railroad running north and
south, and east and west, within &C
cess of the city will make it grow
ever more than it has been growing
in the past three years. All of the
old timers there are we'll and getting
along nicely and everybody is happy
over the harvest and the general bust
ness outlook"

RnAME ELEVATORS
Do BIG BUSINESS

RHAME, n. D., Dec. 1.-The Rhamt
elevators are doing Il big business
these days. Grain and flax are com
ing i'm at the rate Of from 5000 70 Z,
600 bushels zach day ana it keeps th
elevators busy to take care of it. a
rough estimate Is that over $500
bushes have already been taken in
here, and as most OF the farmers have
marketed but q small amount of their
grain 1t is certain that the %recciiYts
at the local elevators for the season
will so beyond the half.million mark
Some clam tliat 1t will come near to
the million bushels before spring
Many farmers who hive fifteen ortHen'
ty miles from town have not yet begun
to haul their grain, leaving that fol
the winter when other work is impos,
sible. .

BOWMAN JUR|ES
DISCHARGED
Both Grand and Petit JurieS
Dismissed in Bowman COun-
~ Through Error
will be No Jury Trials This
Term and Criminal Cases
will Go Over

BOWMAN, n. d., Dec. 1.-THE first
grand jury drawn in Bowman county
failed 20 get down to business owing
to the fact that the manner in which
the list of names was prepared from
which the jurors were drawn. OF
course when this county was organic
ed and for some time thereafter there
were no organized townships, and all
the business was done by the county
commissioners. When 1t came to pre-.
pairing a list from which the proper
officers would draw a jury, this list
was prepared by the commissioners.
Later when townships were organized
the same system prevailed, up to the
present time. 1t seems, however, that
according to law, where there are or
,anized villages and townships, the
beard. of county commissioners shall
pportion TO each organized townsl
and village a ceiialu AumDtr Of jurors,
md that the township board of super
Jiso.s send a lis CT names to the coun'
y auditor, and the jury list is thus
made UP. A list of two hundred names
must be kept on hand at all times.
This has been satisfactory to all
concerned. ever after the jury was
drawn a few weeks ago. All the at.
orneys in the county were notified,
nd all who desired were present at
the time the siXty-three jurors were
'rawn. There was nc objection at
hat time 20 the manner in which the
st had been repaired. 0 was there
ny objection until some time there.
.ftcr when the states attorney, e. p.
rCttcn. made an objection to the clerk
VI court.
The clerk, Mr.. Guldemann. went on
with the court business and carried
"ut the orders of the judge Of the
district court, performing his duties
according to law.
The slxty-threc Jurors we're sub
ooenacd by the sheriff and were pres.
mt to attend court. When the grand
Jury was called Attorney Boehm Ct
Hettinger, II of the attorneys for
George A. Totten, who was to answer
1t this term of court to two criminal
charges, objected to the grand jury
presenting the affidavit of Thco. 3.
TorkelsCn. another attorney for Geo.
\. Totten. setting forth the irregular
.ty of the making UP Of the jury list
After Mr.. Boehm cited some alrthorit
lies in support of his motion, the court
asked If the attorney for the state in
the case against George A. Totten de-
sired to oppose the motion. Attorney
Burnett in Dickinson acting in the
capacity OF states attorney in this
case, and stated that he didn't ask fol
any grand jury and it made no differ
ence to him what was done about it
He was of the opinion that the making
W. Of the jury list by the commission
ers was illegal, but it was the bust
ness of the states attorney to have
seen to it that the jury list was pre-
pared in compliance with the law
This, he had apparently not done, sc
that now objection might be raised
Judge Crawford also took this view o
the matter, but stated that the clerl
of the court had dome his duty il
drawing the jury from the names thu.

MORTON: COUNTY
DISTRICT court
Calendar Of 81 Cases 70 Re.
Ceive Attention During
December Term
Turkey Track Bill will be
Tried and There are Other
important Gases

MANDAN, N. D., Dec. 2.-Many in
terestirs and important cases are. on
the docket for trial at the regular De-
cember term OF court which %convenes
for this county Tuesday morning, De-
cember 3. There are a total of 81
cases, civil and criminal, as compared
with a total of 1913 cases on the cal
endar for the exceedingly long term
of court which was held last winter.
Of the 81 cases on the present calen-
dar, "A are continued civil causes, Is
are new civil causes, two are appealed
civil causes, 13 are contained and IA
are new criminal causes. Last De-
cember the calendar was divided into
50 continued and Is e civil causes,
four appeal causes, six criminal causes
continued and Is new criminal causes.
Turkey Track Will Be Tried.
The case in which the most inter-
est is ana will be manifested is that
of the state Of North Dakota against
William Molash, better known as Tur-
key Track Biz, who is charged with
the shooting of Guy Bolton neal
Shields the latter part Of last August
The preliminary hearing before
Justice Henke during the fore part
of September brought forth some very
interesting testimony, and there prom
ises to be a hard fought case. when
lhis one comes up for final decision.
The star witnesses in the matter are
Mrs. Bolton, widow of the victim of
the shooting, and her SON, Joe Reyn:
olds, as we'll as one or two prominent
Shields men. Attorney Shaw is be-
ing retained by the alleged shooter.
Martial Relations Involved.
Perhaps the stramgest case on the
calendar and one second In interest
only to that involving Turkey Track is
the case, or rather the two cases
brought against Anton Kary and
George Boehm by Peter Zander and
his wife, Katherine Zander, OF Sweet
Briar. Each of the plaintiffs is bring
ing action against the defendants for
$4,000 making a total of $4,000 involv'
ed il the matter.
The case is a new one, arising from
a little quarrel in Zander's store at
swec. Eriar during this fail. The two
defendants went into the store to pur
| chase some tobacco and entered into
] a discussion with lander which quick
ly developed into a heated argument
with imminent danger Of becoming
fistcuff encounter. Mrs. lander inter
fered to prevent the two men from
assaulting her husband and the ex
element proved too much for her, sc
the plaintiffs state, making her i'll ant

to notify the auditor and commissions
ers relative to the making up OF a jury
DIST in compliance with the law. lie
also stated that the clerk should pro
vide his office with a suitable ballot
box in which to keep and from which
to draw the names Of the jurors.
Judge Crawford granted the motion
and the grand Jurors were discharged
and allowed one days pay and mtle'
age.
or course the granting of this mo-
ton took win it the discharge of the
forty petit jurors, who were also paid
off and allowed to so home.
This is why no jury cases will coEle
up at this term of court.
The county of Bowman is thus put
to another unnecessary expense Of
about $1,000.
