A GOOD CROP IS
NOW ASSURED Us
Large Amount of Moisture
Puts All Growing Grain
into Pink of Condition

Naturally in these growing
months Burke county's interest
in centered in the crops, and
this year that interest is we'll
JUS titled. Unless conditions
change wonderfully in the next
month this state will produce by
far the greatest crop, in it's his
tory. Last year with a large
portion of the state suffering
from dry weather, the money re-
turns from the crops were the
greatest in the history Of the
state. This year every portion
of the state reports sufficient
moisture and grains and grasses
in the pink of condition.
This is the first year since 1901
that this great Bowbells country
received long drizzling rains and
cool weather during July, just
when it was most needed. Old
timers will remember the crop
that was raised and harvested
here in 1901. There was hardly
a field that went less than 20
bushels and many went very close
to 40. Every farmer had bank
account, and almost every person
you met had a check book with
him. The pioneers tell The Tri-
bune that this season is in al
most every way the same as that
of 1901 in Burke county. There
is sufficient moisture in the
ground now to hold US until the
grain ripens. and the only thing
that could lay the crops low now
would be either hail or black
rust. But hail only comes in
and the country here is
not subject to rust like the grain
to the east and south of us is, so
the crop is assured.
The promise of big yields this
fall is having it's effect upon the
business conditions over the
state and the entire northwest.
Credit men in large wholesale
houses are revising lists, greater
liberality is the rule and it is
common talk now that nothing
can possibly cut down the crop
as it was cut down last year,
and it is only a question now
how great it will be and how to
finance it and move it. Traffic
managers Of big railroads are
working nights rounding up
cars and sending them out into
the fields, and 10000 will have
been placed before the first cut
tings come into the country ele-
vators. There will be money
enough to move the crops, bank
ers say, and interest rates will

FOURTH OF. JULY
IN: BURKE COUNTY
Rural Communities Show That
They Know How to Cele-
brate National Day
NORTH STAR

Among the Fourth of July eel
ebrations held in Burke county
one of the very best was that
held by the citizens of North
Star township on Section 16.
The ground contained small
grove and a small lake and made
an ideal place for the affair. The
crowd commenced gathering
early in the forenoon and by 10
O'Clock the place was fairly
swarmed by people coming from
many miles around to celebrate
the national Independence Day.
North Star has always had the
reputation of showing just a
little better time to it's visitors
than any other place ever dared
to and its celebrations are each
year better attended. Nothing
was found lacking in the prep
parations and the splendid pro-
gram was carried out to the
letter. The speaker of the day
was w. E. Burgett. Of Flaxton,
whose grafton was we'll received
and in every way we'll fitted the
occasion. The address was one
of the main attractions of the
program and it rivited the at
tention of the audience from it's
start until the close. The pro-
gram of races was especially
good. Foot races, sack races,
potato races, girls races, were
all in evidence and all proved to
be very interesting. The first
ball game to be played was that
of Lakeside vs.. North Star in
which the former carried off the
honors. Next came a ball game
between the married men and
North Star. This contest was
hard fought on both sides and
finally resulted in a score Of 2 to
l in favor of North Star. One
attraction that all took a great
interest in and which proved
very amusing was the tug of
war. North Star issued a chal-
lenge to Minnesota township for
a tug of war, and the latter ac-
cepted. After pulling hard and
long for fully ten minutes Min
nesota got the best of the deal.
Dancing during the afternoon
and evening for the young folks
was provided for in a bowery
built especially for the occasion.
A great many stayed for the
dance while some started for
y
home about supper time. The
entire affair eclipsed anything so
far: attempted in North Star
township, and the success of it
is much due to the efforts put
forth by the committee on ar
rangements, namely John Emer-
son, chairman, John Romine,
w. J. Lowe, Frank Bair and w.
5B. Coons, though every last per-
son in the township was plug
ging for the celebration for
weeks before it took place.
North Star continues to hold it's
reputation as the best place to
celebrate in Burke county.

CR0PPER DENIES
FRANK SHARP STORY
Says Sharp is Not in Custody
and Had Nothing to do
"Wild Cat' Schemes

Earl Cropper called on The
Tribune Tuesday afternoon and
told US that there was not a bit
Of truth in the article which was
published in this paper last week
in regard to Frank Sharp, for
merly of this city, being arrested
in California. Mr.. Choppers wife
is a sister of Mrs. Frank Sharp
and the two ladies are writing
each other letters almost weekly.
Mr.. Cropper stated that he had
received a letter that morning
from the Sharp family which
told about the latter doing some
irrigating on their farm, and
also that Frank was not feeling
very we'll on account of some
stomach trouble he, was having.
According to Mr.. Cropper the
Sharps are residing on. a farm
some 200 miles from the scene of
the arrest and probably knew
nothing of it. Mr.. Cropper is
evidently right in his belief that
the man arrested was another
man Of the same name. The
Tribune found the item in a Los
Angeles paper and as Mr.. Sharp
was in California and resides
only a short distance from the
mine mentioned in the article we
connected the two together.
However, there are many Frank
Sharps in the country, and we
should have taken this into con-
sideration.

MURDERER Slain BY
A RAILROAD TRAIN
POLICE BELIEVE THEY HAVE ES-
fABLssHEp IDENTITY or
VICTIM AND SLAYER.

Chicago, May 21.--The Chicago po-
lice are convinced that the identity
of the murderer of the young woman
whose body was found in an empty
Los Angeles bungalo ten days ago.
and of his victim has been establish
ed. Further details of the garments
and appearance of G. C. Dillon and
more particulars about Miss Minnie
Quinn, who, the police are convinced,
were the actors in the western trag-
edy, were forwarded today to the Los
Angeles police.
Two women, whose identity was
kept secret, were questioned here
today and shown a photograph of the
dead woman. The police say that
the women are relatives of Minnie
Quinn and that they identified the
picture as her likeness. Miss Quinn
was a maid employed by Mrs. Har-
old F. Mccormick in Lake Forest and
also by Douglas Smith of Winetka,
North Shore suburbs. Other servants
at the Smith home are declared to
have identified the picture Of the
dead woman as Miss Quinn and to
have told that she said she was en-
gagged to marry c. @. Dillon. The
message of the police to Los Angeles
was:
I'VE are forwarding a picture OF
Dillon today Trying to get picture
of Miss Quinn. No doubt they are
thelright parties"
9. c. Dillon was killed Saturday
morning by a railroad train and state
ments of witnesses at the inquest led
to connecting him with the Los An
geles murder.
