DEPUTY SHERIFF
IS BADLY \ Gut. ! !. | !. UP }
Bismarck Officer is Severely
e Carved up in Fight With
..a Soldier =.

Bismarck, N. D., May =
Deputy Sheriff Ed. Barnes was
badly. cut by Corporal Chadwell
of Co. A, Fourteenth United
infantry, and as a result will be
obliged to walk on crutches for
two or three weeks. -. - a.
Chadwell, in company with
some other soldiers, desired to
secure a hack to take the party
out to the post. All of the hacks
were in service save one, which
was in attendance on a time call.
The driver stated that he did not
have time to make the trip to
the post and answer his call and
the soldier asked to be driven
about the city in the meanwhile.
The hackman was willing, and
after taking the soldiers around
until the hour when he was sup
posed to answer his call told them
to climb out, and stated his rea-
son. They did so, but started
to abuse the driver.
The alteration occurred in
front of the Atlantic cafe.
Deputy Sheriff Ed Barns was in
the cafe and when he heard the
argument outside went out. to
hear what was the matter. He
told Corporal Chadwell to desist,
but the latter did not do SO, it is
said. He put him in the hack
and told the driver to take them
to the Jail. Then Barnes started
to enter the hack, .
AS he stepped in the convey
ance Chadwell is alleged to have,
been awaiting for him with a
drawn knife. He is said to have
cut Barnes several severe gashes
the worst being in his leg where
the cash was 9 inches long and.
an inch deep. Barnes finally
overcame his prisoner and took
him to Jail, after which he Sc
cured medical treatment for his
wounds. III

MUCH FLAX SEED ~
is NOT RELIABLE

From the very large number
Of termination tests which we
have made at this laboratory /
have ascertained that there is a
considerable probability that
some people may make bad mis-
takes with regard to using weak
flax seed for sowing purposes.
Some hundreds Of farmers
have written us letters and sent
us samples of the seed which
they have threshed this spring
from flax which laid under the
the snow all winter. Some of
these samples have given very
reasonable examinations. Many
others show plainly that the
seed should not be relied upon
for sowing purposes, even tho it
appears to be bright and plump.
Evidently flax seed which was
frozen while damp. has had it's
vitality destroyed.
.s mn j am whiting this letter to
warn growers that they should
test the sprouting ability of such
s'wintered fax seed before buying
It, or at least before using it for
seed. While it is late, we will
yet be glad to do anything we
can in thes way of termination
tests. If you wish us to make q
test for You send in your sampl-
es im me- diately. ~ " y

many FAILED TO
FILE ON LAND
Only 38 Out of 80 Make
Filings on the Berthold
Reservation

Minot, N. D., May 8-Thirty-
eight out of eighty-nine names
called at the United States map
room failed to answer evidently
having concluded not to file on
the Fort Berthold Indian reser-
yation. FiftY-three persons
haye filed their applications.
Only about every other one in
the last eighty-nine names called
will file and if the proportion Of
those filing decreases as it has
so far, those holding high num-
bers will have an opportunity of
selecting some some good land.
On Saturday, Superintendent
Wood will commence calling 100
names each day. as it is believed
that by that time the number
answering will be sufficiently
small to permit the accommoda-
tion of those who do not answer
without any difficulty.
Thus far, the locators have
not figured very prominently in
the selection, and especially
among those who filed today the
number who located themselves
is surprisingly large, the large
majority having done so.

INTERESTING CASE
OCCURS At ASHLEY
Young Man is Arrested on
Charge of Violating U.
S. Land Laws


| Marshall James Shea came to
Ashley and arrested Charles A.
Johnstone on the charge of
violating section 1878 of the
United States statutes, which
Furnishes any person who makes
any agreement with any person
that one of the persons is not to
bid upon a piece of land sold at
public sale by the United States
landoffice. The case was taken
up before H. P. Remington as
United States commissioner and
a hearing was demanded by
Mr.. Johnstone and his hearing
will come on some time between
now and May IA.
1t seems that Mr.. Johnstone
and Mr.. Tschetters went to Bis
marck in June, 1911, both with
the intention of buying a forty
acre tract Of land south of Ash
ley. The complaint upon which
) Mr.. Johnstone is arrested claims
that he paid Tschetter some
money to keep Tschetter from
bidding, and Johnstone acquired
the land. It seems, however,
that Johnstone is the one they
are after and a few weeks ago a
special agent of the land depart
ment was in Ashley upon some
other business, and while here
was much in company by Muir
ray Hammond and his adviser,
H. J. Remington, and that while
here on that occasion he went to
Tschetter with a lot of informa-
tion which made Tschetter make
a statement involving Johnstone
and shortly after that complaint
was lodged with the United
States attorney and resulted in
the present prosecution of Char
les Johnstone.
Some people who are in a pos
ition to know say that if every
man in Mcintosh county was
sent to prison who had done the
thipg which Johnstone is now
chAged with, that many Of our
prominent citizens would now be
serving time and some Of them
have been convicted do so many
ofenses that they would have to
serve life term and then some
in order to pay the penalty for
all such offenses they committed
but, of course the old days,
when these tracts were sold for
a song to these men at Bismarck
and were in turn sold by them
when they returned home for
So to $40 profit on every acre,
haye gone by. The statute of
limintation has run against all
these offenses and they are now
free from any such charge but
little Charley, mere boy being
led astray by older men, may
have made a mistake and being
the boy he is, and entirely un-
aware of what the law is in such
cases, may have innocently j..
walked into somebody's trap,
and now they are after him.

TO CONDITION BARON CLUB
 AT SPRINGS, SERIOUS PLAN
 OF OWNER RICK WOODWARD
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

If we win the pennant this year" stated MT. Woodward yesterday it will be the result of our showing in June. We were late in getting down to fight ing weight. Next season we will scheme not to delay the rounding-to of the young men,
 My plan now is to send the team early in March on short visit to French Lick From there the players will be led down to Hot Springs. There they will get in condition and at the same time get experience as result of daily clashes with the clubs of the majors
 We have not definitely concluded these arrangements as yet, but the above is an outline of our plan"
 And so it might happen that the Barons will be the first club of the Southern league to follow the footsteps of the majors in reference to getting in condition prior to the beginning oi a season.
 Next fall MT. Woodward will spring something else.

KID M'COY IS FREED
 FROM THEFT CHARGE

London, August 22.-Kid Mccoy (Nor- man Selby), the American pugilist, was discharged from custody today. He was arrested July PC. The writ was pro visional one. It charged him with larceny alleged to have been committed at os- tend. The proceedings were taken at the nstigation of the Belgian counsel. Shell by's counsel said the case was extraor- dlnary in that the fighter was arrested on the statemen. of an intoxicated woman, who, when she became sober, denied her own story.
 The reason Mccoy found himself in the predcament, the lawyer said, was that he happened to travel to Ostend and stay in the hotel where the theft was com mltted. The magistrate said he had come to the conclusion that there was not suf- ficient evidence to warrant the justifea- ton of extradition proceedings.

Barons Gain Hold on the Pennant

Chattanooga, August 22.-(special.) In the opinion of local fandom the of ficials of the local ball club made q mistake in announcing Smiths depar- ture for Atlanta at this stage of the season. While William Billy Is under contract to the local club until oc- tober 10. and will give his best efforts toward it's welfare, nevertheless 1t must be conceded that the members of the Lookout squad will view the re- mainder of the season largely in the nature of a joke.
 The series with the Crackers espe- oially will have all the earmarks of a mere perfunctory affair and attend ance at these games as well as the others Is certain to be hurt by the pre- mature announcement. The situation Is practically one where a manager is virtually thought not actually under contract to two opposing clubs.

 The fact that Birmingham will win the pennant this season, and the knowl- edge that a pennant winner in years of normal produotiveness, is the great est source of revenue, has inspired the young Baron mogul to win the pennant if he can every year.
 He believes, as many others believe, that the team which wins the pennant is generally the team which gets away with a flying start, and that the team which shows the others a clear pair of heels in April, May and June, is gen orally the team which is in finest con dition against the dawning of the sea- son.

New Orleans, August 22.-Memphis was beaten here today ? to in game that was marked by good pitching, though played on muddy neld. Weaver was strong at all stand points.
