CONAN DOYLE WRITES
GREATEST ADVENTURE
STORY EVER WRITTEN.

TBa new modern story by Sir Ar
thuH CONAN Doyle, which begins in the.
PH,sburg Sunday Post March "a, is
liEes TO create a bigger sensation
than any tale ever written by one OF
the greatest masters OF the story.tell-
ing art the world has known.
il is a modern tale OF adventure
written in the fullness OF the authors
power, a product Of his developed
djpeped genius. Never has he writ
ten mdre brilliantly, more effectively.
Never has he been SO ingenious, so
picturesque. The story is a marvel
of condensation, and its action is
so rapid that you will eagerly await
every one of the Is installments. 1t
is impossible to escape the grip OF
its interest, because It is so full OF
thrills. of excitement; for the daring
explorers encounter dangers that
only Il great imagination could con-
ceiyc, And only q great writer with
profound scientific knowledge could
make them real.
In this story Sir Arthur Conan
DOYLE is not content with 81 plot that
makes his latest novel the most sen
sationally interesting he has written;
he has been equally concerned about
his characters. One at least, will go
down in literary history as the equal
OF Sherlock Holmes. He Is every
whit as remarkable, as interesting, as
the great detective, and as different
as day is from night. In one respect
he is superior to Sherlock Holmes, IN
that he is far more human.

most success serials ever written

last Tuesday evening at his home
by hanging himself with a halter

attributed to melancholia He was

visited the Sun office two or three
times for the purpose of advertising
a mule which he had taken up. He
acted queerly and would only talk
at periods, and sometimes would
not answer questions asked him.

tragic death is sincerely regretted
in his community.

Dickinson, N. D.. Nov. 22.--En-
nifty between sportsmen and far
mers is bad for both. 1t is also
bad for the game. A great many
residents of fairly good game coun-
try maintain. an attitude of hostil-
ity toward the men who desire to
cross his fields while looking for
game or tramp the banks of his
streams while after fish.
This hostility, in many cases, is
engendered by the action of some
inconsiderate hunter, who has de-
stroyed property or annoyed stock.
Many times hunters and anglers
give the farmers good cause for Of
fense, and the mutual antipathy has
been growing for many yeals.
Cooperation is to be desired be-
tween sportsmen and agricultur-
lists. Fair treatment on either side
will do lots to eliminate the pre-
judice existing between the two.
Many times the farmer is also
hunter and fisherman, and he can
understand how it is with those who
pursue their game, but he has be-
come disgusted through the incon-
siderate acts of unreasonable per-
sons "A little thought on the on
the part of the huner will enable
him to make himself a welcome Wis.,

together. they could do great deal

GIRL IS

Hauser, prominent farmers residing
about two miles east of Foxholm,
was SO terribly burned yesterday af-
ternoon that she died at 10 O'Clock
last night.
1T appears that the little girl had
been playing out of doors and be-
becoming chilled had run, into the
house to get warm. She removed
the lid from the top of the stove
and it is presumed that while she
was trying to warm her little hands
the. flames leaped up and ignited
her sleeves. In a moment she was
a mass of flames and she ran
screaming to her mother When
When Mrs. Hauser reached the lit
tie girl every vestage Of clothing
had been burned from the little
body.
DR.. Christie of Burlington was
summoned at once but could do
nothing to save the little tots life,
and she passed away ten o'clock
last night. The tragedy has cast a
deep gloom over the entire conf
munity, the Hausers being very
we'll known here and popular with
their neighbors. The little girl was

USES SHOT GUN In
ATTEMPTED MURDER
MkENZIE COUNTY -. FARMER
SHOOTS NEIGHBOR WITH A
SHOT GUN

Fairview, Mont, Nov. 25.---Last
Saturday evening at the home OF
John Lockhart, five miles northeast
of this city, at 1880 O'Clock. Tom AL
len made an unsuccessful attempt on
the life Of Brownie Emery.
Allen. who lives on the Matt Roll
Ter place which joins the Lockhart
farm on the east, spent considerable
Of his time trying to gain the good
graces of Mr.. Lockhart's daughter.
Laura, and when not drunk spent
considerable Of his time at the Lock-
hart home. Saturday Allen came to
Fairview and secured jug OF booze,
went home and proceeded to tank up,
and being North Dakotan only q
little of his stock was needed to make
him crazy. Sunday night while still
on his debauch he went to the Lock-
hart home where he found Brownie
Emery. He Immediately demanded
a fight when he was ordered from
the house and farm. Soon he re-
turned with shot gun and went
about his plans to get shot at En-
and axle nuts from the buggy. then
going north Of the house about
twenty feet hid in Four Mile creek
which is dry. Soon Emery came out
Of the house and cramped the buggy
to let Miss Lockhart IN, when the
wheel came off. He at once discov-
cred that it was impossible to use
the buggy in that condition, when
he heard noise coming from Four
Mile Creek. He with Miss Lock-
hart walked toward the bank OF the
creek when Allen, not 25 feet away
shot him, the charge of No. 4 shot
entering his left arm and side, tear
ing away the muscles Of his. upper
arm and three or four shot going
through his body. Brownie turned
and walked into the house where
his wound was bandaged and med
ical aid called, also his parents no
titled. DR.. Morrill,, of Sidney. ar
rived and took him to the Sidney
hospital, where he now is. Consta-
BILE. Myhr, with several others,
found Allen. in his shack, apparently
asleep. He was arrested Hand
brought to this city and kept in
custody until deputy sheriff c.. A.
Jacobson arrived Monday and re-
moved him to Willistcn where ho is
now in Jail awaiting trial. Allen is
q half-witted imitation bad man,
worthless, a menace to the neigh
borhood and a disgrace to his fam
lily, and it seems too bad that
promising young man must go
through life as a cripple because of
the freak action Of "a maudlin
drunkard. ~
During Monday feeling ran very;
high and had it not been for the
fact that our people generally are
law abiding citizens, Mckenzie
county would not have been re-
quired to 60 to the expense .of q
prosecution. Allen has: several
times before shot at people. and In
one instance shot a boy, after which
he langhingly claimed he mistook
him for a jack rabbit. -.

er the winter in the snow or other
wise, for sowing purposes without
making or having made careful
termination tests to determine its
strength of growth. Barley or fax,
or corn which. has been frozen
while damp is, in almost all cases,
essentially worthless. w h e a t
seems to stand such conditions much
better, but is always damaged very
severely
:'It must be remembered, how
ever, that good, mature grain which
was dry when the snow fell on it
may pass trough the winter so that
the termination is not materially
injured. Unfortunately i'll most cas-
es the grain was wet or soft when
the snow came.
How to Treat Flax.
"The second caution is a special
one with reference to fax. Very
large areas of the North Dakota
grown flax either remain unharvest-
ed or are lying in loose bundles
under the snow During the pre-
yious year we. had similar exper-
ience. Those who tried to thresh
the flax while the snow was in the
bundles had a great amount OF
trouble to get out the ice and snow
Many of them who shipped this
mixture of ice snow and flax to ell
.cyators and mills lost very heavily
on the price which was paid them.
In some cases the grain was ruined
before it reached the twin cities, by
mating together in solid cakes OF
mouldy, heated material. Many of
them who left the grain unthreshed
until it dried off in the spring Jared
much better. Often such flax seed
was marketed in almost as good
condition as if it had been thresh-
ed in the fall before the snow.
came. :, Some farmers harvested
flax that saved a large amount of
seed of good quality for oil pur-
poses.
1T is remembered, however, that
no one can be weather prophet
II it had rained heavily durins
March and April it is probable that
those who left their grain till spring
would not have been able to take
it off. -.."
s.The meat of the farmer is es-
sentially this: Each farmer must
study. his crop carefully: and if a
time comes when it can actually be
threshed free from moisture, that
is he time to take the grain out if
it can possibly be done. 1t. is quite
certain that there ia only a come:
paratively short time during the
spring between winter and seeding
time when the grain will be dry
enough to thresh.
cit. is not safe to ship fax seed
in bulk even with a small amount
of snow and ice in it, though this
sometimes can be done in the very
coldest weather if the people at
the terminal end are prepared to
remove the ice. learn from the
commission men and elevator men
that they do not like to undertake

DECIDE TO WATCH THEIR
GRANARIES

Mohall. N. D., Nov. 25.-Possi-
bility of further grain thefts in the
vicinity Of Kenmare, on the Rem
vile side of the county division line
has resulted in thoroughly arousing
the farmers in that district. Fol-
lowing the shooing Of John Bird by
thieves whom he surprised while at
work in one of his granaries. the
farmers have armed themselves and
are in readiness for pursuing grain
thieves any time they put in an ap-
pearance.
Guards have also been used. the
farmers taking turns about in
scouting about the country during
the nights. On one or two occas
ions suspicious appearing individ-
uals have been under surveillance
but no definite evidence against any
of them has been found. s-
Should there be an alarm OF grain
thieves, the whole neighborhood
would take up the search and the
culprits would have a hard time
getting away. "-t *. - 3

the matter Of shelter. protection
and food will solve the problem Of
the vanishing game birds and small
animals. Careful intelligent at
tempts to preserve the game can
be made and should be made.
Take the case of the prairie
chicken sportsmen f1nd this bird
good hunting, but sportsmen kill a
comparatively small number COM
pared to those that die from rea-
sons that can be prevented by lit
tie work. Thousands OF them per-
ish annually from lack Of food and
shelter. They are too valuable to
both classes to perish like this.
Farmers and sportsmen should help
by providing these and they would
repay such care by working for the
farmer and furnishing an object for
the hunter to take to the fields dur
ing the open season.
Chickens destroy great deal of
harmful insect life and help the
farmer to raise his crops. But they
must be given inducement to work
for him. They need to thrive
through the winter, In both food and
shelter. They will repay such a
thousandfold.
