c. H. CALDWELL DEAD.
Chokio Banker Passes Away
Suddenly from Heart Trouble.

C, H. Caldwell died suddenly yester-
day morning from heart failure.
He had arisen as usual yesterday
morning and was sitting in the parlor
at his home at Chokio when his house
keeper, Miss Stankey. noticed pecu-
liar noise come from the parlor and
went to investigate and found Mr..
Caldwell expiring. He passed away
within moment or two.
Mrs. Caldwell is at the hospital at
Starbuck. where she has undergone
two operations and is still in such a
precarious condition that she has not
been informed of her husbands death.
Besides his wife. Mr.. Caldwell is
survived by two sons and a daughter.
besides sister at Blue Earth and a
brother at Sioux Falls. The former
home of the family was at Austin.
and it is possible that interment may
be at that place, altho no arrange
ments have yet been made for the
funeral.
While it was not generally known,
Mr.. CALDWELL has been troubled with
a weak heart for some time, but the
news of his sudden death came as q
shock to the community. He was q
man in middle life, and has been in
the banking business at Chokio g
dozen years or more. He enjoyed g
wide circle of friends and was popular
with all who knew him for his many
gentlemanly qualities. The sorrow oi
his immediate relatives is shared by
all and the kindliest sympathy ex'
pressed for those who survive.

SUMMER PLANS MADE.
Officers of Farm Bureau Meet
at Hancock.

4uG OulCGES anu ulIGCtOES Oh luS
Stevens County Farm Bureau held
their seco.d d monthly meeting at Han
cock on the evening of April 16. At
the annual meeting in February the
Farm Club was re- organized upon the
corporation plan, and every subscriber
to the county agent fund of $4.00 or
more was granted share of stock
and made a member. The following
Board Of Directors was elected !:
CLAUS Thorstad, R. B. Goodhue. Fred
Andert. W. ]. Browne and E. ].
Jones. The officers for the present
year are: Pres. e. E. Walpole,
Vice Presidents r. A. Cooper, J. E.
Peterson. L. M. Larson: Secretary
P. E. Miller, Treasurer-L. C. Dor
weller and F. D. Hawk ss County
Agricultural Agent.
AT the April meeting the reports
of the committees previously appoint.
ed were taken up and the bureau has
undar.way much work for the coming
year. Prospects are bright for sew
eral carloads OF stock to come into
the county this summer. Interest
seems to center around the Holsteins
and Shorthorns. although. at the pre-
sent there are some splendid herds in
the county representing some of the
other breeds. The live stock com.
mittee is considering combination
live stock sale of dairy and beef cat
tie, hogs and sheep to be held some
time this fall. That the county is
destined to become live stock coun-
ty is more and more becoming an
actual reality.
The Farm Crops Committee has
started an alfalfa project and over
thirty farmers in the county will have
alfalfa on their farms this summer.
If alfalfa is success, and there is
good reason to believe, that it will
be. 500 land will soon be here. An.
other season it is the plan of this
committee to buy clover and alfalfa
seed in large quantities for the farm
ers of the county and thus secure
maximum quality at the least possible
price
Every member will sometime ii
the future be furnished with a sigr
for his farm, giving the name of the
farm, owner and the fact that he j!
a member of the Stevens County
Farm Bureau. A membership cam
paign will be put on during the sum
mer in connection with farm clul
picnics. For the complete success 0.
the work every farmer in the county
should be a member of the Bureau
and help in the work, and in making
Stevens County the banner county il

ty is welcome to the regular busines
meetings, and is especially urged t.

OF inestimable value to the postal
authorities. Not only were a score
or more of dangerous characters put
away for varying terms, but from
nearly all of them information was
cleaned which had been earnestly
sought for months, and in some cases
FOR years. Some of this information
proved to be an amplification and
Yerification of the facts contained in
the celebrated confession of West

Especially did this apply to the
case Of Portland Ned" For in con-

that raid robberies which the inspec-

cerned in were pinned on this noto-
rious offender. They knew he was

had to deal with, but while in Balti-
more they learned far more about

his movements than "Philadelphia

men who fell into the tolls of the
Baltimore police, and more often
than not he made good his boast by
effecting their release.
All in all it was a remarkable
roundup and the inspectors who in
spired and engineered it owe no end
of thanks to the police, who made
the actual captures in these cases by
striking when the iron was hot.

wife, moved from No. 413 North

LYNN COUNTY FAIR
A Number Of Good Exhibits Shown
Rain Prevents Entire Sue
cess Of the 0ay

Tahoka. Tex, Sept. 30. The
Lynn County Fair was held here
Friday and Saturday. but on
account OF the excessive rains
many of the departments were
not as well represented as they
would have been. had the
weather been more favorable
and much of the program was
cancelled. However. there was
an excellent display in the agri-
cultural department.
Many of the farmers were un-
able to bring their produce on
account of the bad condition of
the ruads. A number of in
dividual exhibitions were made
by fsrmern of the county Of
various products raised on the
farm. NJ. n. Anthony had one
Of the bet exhibits shown. He
had thirty-one different varieties
of farm and garden products.
The display of J. c. Crouch was
also one of interest. He exhibit.
ed many different varieties of
corn snd maize. The display of
apples. peaches, cherries, grapes
and other fruit was most COM
plete. which proves that this
climate and soil is well adapted
to fruit growing when properly
cared for and cultivated. Ar
rangements have been made to
send a large exhibit to the Dallas
Fair.
