TINCT ON FORT BERTH
OLD LANDS,

Bismarck, N. d., Jan. 25.-C. W.
Hoffman, superintendent and agent Of
Fort Berthold, has taken up the mat
ter with the authorities in Washing
ton, D. G., toward preserving game.
Since there are only few remaining
deer on the reservation, which will
soon disappear if they are hunted, a
regulation has been submitted to the
Indian office, prohibiting all the In
dams and whites from killing any
deer from January LIST, 1912, to 1915,
that is term of three years.
Also the provisions against killing
prairie chickens will be enforced on
the reservation Indians will be al
lowed to hunt only during the months
of the year when the state permits
this to be done.
AS punishment for the violation
of the new law or rule, any persons
(Indian or Whitley killing deer on the
Fort Berthold reservation, North Dako-
ia, from now on for three years, shall
be fined $50 for each deer and 60 days
in the guard house with hard labor,
besides being deprived Of their guns
and ammunition.
So far as hunting by white persons

dian, who within the limits of any
tribes with whom the United States has
existing treaties, hunts or traps, or

traps, guns and ammunition in his
possession, used or procured to be used
for that purpose, and all peltries 50
taken; and shall be liable in addition
to penalty of 500 dollars.
All the Indians have been instruct
ed in the above new law, and this
warning is made to their neighbors.

BODY RECENTLY FOUND IS THAT
OF JUTIN UTMAN-MUR,DER-
ED LAST OCTOBER.

Sykeston, Jan. 27.-The coroncr's in
vestigation here, into the death of the
man who was found frozen to death
the early part of the week disclosed
the fact that the deceased was John
Kutman. He was found on the Christ
Smith tree claim three miles southeast
Of here. Tenants on Che Smith farm
were passing with a load of straw when
the driver noticed a form lying at full
length short distance among the trees
and partially covered with snow.
Immediate investigation was made
but the face was so covered with snow
and ice that recognition was impossi-
bic. The affair was reported to the
city authorities and Coroner Niles Of
Cathay was notified. A careful search
of the entire community was made to
find clue as to who the young man
was but no one was reported missing.
BY order of Coroner Niles the re-
mains were taken to an undertaking cs-
tablishment where the inquest was. held.
When the snow and ice was removed,
the remains were identified as those of
John Kutman, young man of Polish
descent. 1t later developed that he had
met with foul play, as large bullet
wound was found at the back Of his
head.
John HUFFMAN was well known in and
around Sykeston, having been employ
ed by different farmers last fall. Hc
came here early in the season and in
company with friends of his own ma
tionality from Indiana, they worked to-
gether till the close of the threshing
season when they intended to go to
Chicago to work in the car shops.
Kutman had in his possession at the
time about $40 He and a friend were
last seen on October &c, having pur-
chased box of cartridges and some
crackers and cheese for lunch. 1t is
supposed that they were On their way
to shack five miles from here, where
they formerly lived and where the
shooting occurred.
Evidently some one was passing the
grove at the time as the young man
was shot when his back was turned,
the bullet, of So calibre, entering at
the base Of the skull Evidence shows
that the body was then dragged about
LILO feet from the road into the grove.
Whatever valuables he had III his pos
session were taken, including his watch
and money.
| Although the evidence is purely cir
eumstantial suspicion, it points strong
ly towards the young mans friend as
being the murderer. There is no ques-
tion but what the body had been in
the grove since the night Of Oct Goth,
but the remains were perfectly preserv-
! ed, not even being molcstcl by dogs or
wolves.
This is the first time Sykeston has
experienced such an affair and the COM
munity is greatly excited over the
affair, which is shrouded in mystery.

FARGO HAS HAD A CHECKER
ED CARER.

wholesale thefts of butter from Nor
thern Pacific cars, is one Of the most
noted crooks in the northwest, is
bigamist, a burglar and murder sus-
pect, is the statement Of Sheriff J. s.

er the name Of A. J. Beck and his Sec
ond wife afterwards secured divorce.
Murray was convicted of wholesale

DECISION OF SUPREME COURT
IS COMMENTED UPON BY
JUDGE POLLOCK.

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 27.-"Thcre is
nothing new in this decision,'' said
Judge Charles A. Pollock in comment
ing on the verdict Of the United States
supreme court regarding the Shipment
of liquor from a wet territory.
Z "It simply repeats the decision in
the case of Rhodes VS.. Iowa." contin-
ued Judge Pollock, "ana several other
cases decided some time ago. 1t makes
no change whatever in the present sit
uation, but it does enforce the necessity
of the passage of what is known us the
Kenyon bill, introduced by Senate.
Kenyon of Iowa.
"The temperance forces of the coun.
try have united upon the Kenyon bill,
believing that it is constitutional, and
it ought to receive the support of every
member of congress. 1t will be opposed
by the brewerics and the men in other
states who want to help tear down
the laws Of our state for the purpose Of
their own selfish interests.
"The country, however, is becoming
thoroughly aroused upon the question,
Hearings have already been had before
the senate committee to which the Ken
yon bill was referred. The liquor forces
are using their old practice of delay,
but it is hoped that such plans will not
succeed to prevent the states in their
individual capacities under their police
power from controlling the use ana sale
Of intoxicating liquor within their
lounuarics, $: they undoubtedly have
a right to DO"

THREE MINIATURE N. D. FARMS
WILL BE USED AT CORN AID
CLOVER CONVENTION.

Grand Forks, Jan. o6.--Three nina
ture farms for the purpose of demon
strating the utility of crop rotation
will be another Of the splendid cluca-
tional features at the Red River Val
ley corn and clover convention and
mid-winter fair. Secretary Bachelor
is firm believer i'll object lessons
and in practical demons+ra! OF o.
what can and should be done in the
promotion of better farming in North
Dakota. He contends most strcnuouSly
that an ounce of demonstration is
worth several pounds of "hot air' and
so when Prof. Boss of the NTinneso-
ia University talks on "Ccoo Rota.
tion'' he will be able to demonstrate i'll
no uncertain manner just what he is
talking about. 1t is planned to have
the miniature farms made ~ the
school children Of Grand Forks.
Crop rotation has long bcei: racog-
nized as one of the essential things i'll
the bringing about Of better farming
in the state. 1t has been taught from
the platform at institutes Cor years
and although considerable good has
been accomplished there is yet much to
be done To bring home to the farm
er method Of securing crop rota-
ton in a reasonable number Of years
and with crops that will pay a good
profit is the real problem that faces
the advocate Of crop rotation. This is
what Prof. Boss proposes to do. He
proposes to take miniature 500 acre
North Dakota farm and show just
how in three years time, the farmer
can have secured method Of crop
rotation that will mean profit to him
and return to the land soil ingredi-
ents to rebuild it for the next crop.
This is only one of the many practi-
cal demonstrat: ons that will be given
at the convention and the school Of
agriculture which is being offered The
farmers and residents Of North Dako-
ia for the first time in North Dakota.
The school Of agriculture is not for
farmers alone It is a school where
business men. can, for an associate
membership fee of one dollar, secure
vast fund Of information on sub
jects which are bound to be of prac-
teal value in the future. North Dako-
ia is essentially an agriculture. state
and every well informed person within
the borders of the e.Nte owes it to
himself and to his slate to keep in
formed on this important feature of
the states activity.

MINNEAPOLIS GAINS SOME NEW
RIGHTS BY DECISION IN
DENVER CASE.

Minneapolis, Jan. &C.. G. Weber
of the Deere & Weber company and
president of the Minneapolis Traffic
association said today, with regard to
the decision of the Interstate Com
merce commission in the Denver rate
case, that the Importance of the de-
cision is now seen to be far greater
than that of the benefit of the rate re-
auctions effected, and that the prece->
dent that has been established will
mean much for Minneapolis. The de-
cision puts Minneapolis an rate parity
with St Louis for competition west Of
the Missouri river, and will be fac
tor in extending the city's trade, as
was stated yesterday by H. E. White
and T. A. McGrath Of the traffic as
ISOLATION. But 'the bearing of the
case upon other important rate mat
tiers is it's most important feature, Mr..
Weber said today:
"There are other rate issues pend
ing, notably one that affects the rela-
ton Of Minneapolis to an important
trade territory in Utah. Mr.. Web
Der said. "The association is conten-
ding for recognition there and else.
where in the west, that Minneapolis
may receive such rates as its natural
location entities it to. Phe Denver
rate decision bears indirectly upon
some Of these issues, and does not re-
late to others, but the precedent is i'm
portant. The right Of Minneapolis to
recognition on the basis afforded by
the interstate commerce decision of
yesterday reducing class rates all along
the line to Denver points, cannot fail
to have favorable influence upon these
other matters.'
The old rate on frst-class merchan-
disc, $3.50 hundred pounds for trans.
portation to Colorado common points,
is lowered to $1.62, with other rates
lowered also. The new rate schedules
will be figured out in all the railroad
Offices and will be effective March l.
The work Of revising rates will mean
many thousands of calculations and
will keep the rate clerks busy for q
month. Most of this work will be
done in Chicago, where the roads a.
fected, the Burlington, Rock Island,
Union Pacific and others, have tariff
Offices.
