would not be done in time so he
picked four 'S-year-old steers. He cut
down tree, made ewo yokes and the
bows from couple of hedge saplings.
The four. .steers we're yoked and the
next morning hitched to gang plow
and put to work. The field has been

cIamoring that FIack be released.
Clay Center Times.
The above editorial Is typical OF
a number that have appeared the
past few days In the Kansas press.
and seem to be based on misappre-
henAop Of the conditions In regard
TO Mr.. Flack in this community. 1t
seems to be understood by some Of
the outside people OF Kansas that
Flack was received with open arms
when he returned in care OF the
sheriff and that the sentiment Of
Abilene and Dickinson county is to
condone his offense and turn him
free. It was even reported in To-
peka that a banquet was given him
on the night he returned and citi-
zens' reception held.
None Of these facts exists.
When Flack returned after his
two years absence, preceded by col
umns Of front page newspaper stor-
les in the Kansas City papers and
with the town knowing on what
train he and the sheriff would ar
rive, naturally there was a crowd
OF curious persons at the station to
see him brought home. Any well
advertised attraction would have
brought as many to the depot. He
was taken to court Immediately and
his bond fixed at $4,000 on the waiv-
ing Of preliminary. This he gave
and went to his nnother-dn-law's
home in Enterprise. His surety was
an old time acquaintance of Enter
prise who had confidence in Flack's
remaining within call. The county
attorney was informed at the open
ing of the district court that Flack
would plead guilty to the charge
of forgery, which means sentence
of seven years in the penitentiary.
A week later the state banking de-
partment filed eleven new charges
which resulted In another bond of
$1,000 and Flack being unable to
obtain the same is now in Jail. These
are the bare events.
II is true that there was no dis
position on the part of the people
of Abilene to hang Flack to the
nearest telephone pole when he ar
rived, but on the other hand there
is no disposition to condone his of
fense. Had every dollar Of the de-
posits been lost to the depositors it
is not clear Just how differently
the procedure could have been car
ried on. Flack is we'll past fifty
yAars old and a seven years. SEN
tence means he will come out man
past sixty. The county attorney felt
that If he could save expense to
the county by having him plead
guilty to this charge and take his
punishment it would be the best
way out of It.
It is estimated If the eleven new
charges are tried with an earnest
contest against them, 1t will cost
the county over $4,000 and in the
end it is doubtful If Flack will ever
stay in the penitentiary more than
seven years.
II Is understood here that the
bringing of the new charges was
Instituted BY the state officials,
partly perhaps to make more impress
sion Of the enforcement OF the guar
anty law and partly for political
Whether this be true or
not. 1t is a clear and definite propo-
sition that Abilene has not in any
way through its public officials or
citizens sought to release Flack
from any Of the punishment due
linn for crimes he has committed.

Big Yield of Alfalfa !.

Lewiston, Idaho, June /. Special
Inc harvesting OF the largest crop OF
alfalfa grown in the northwest without
irrigation will be commenced by Ira
Small at his ranch four miles east of the
city as soon as weather conditions will
permit. Mr. Small has 800 ac res devot-
ed to the growing Of this pr pduct this
year and the yield will range from | l-2
TO 2 tons per acre. The plail S provide
for employing about 20 men during the
harvest season which is expected to
last about five weeks.
The bulk OF the hay grown by Mr..
Small is led to cattle and other stock
and during the season just closed he
marketed 200 choice beef steers that
were rated by buyers as the finest lot
of cattle ever shipped out Of the Lewis
ton country. The surplus crop is sold
in the local markets and after the first
cutting is removed from the fields, ex-
cellent pasture is provided for the
herds during the summer Sc hson.
The growing of alfalfa without irriga-
ton was commenced several years ago
by Mr. Small and each year the acreage
has been increased until this year the
record dry-land crop OF the northwest
will be harvested.
