Farmers SheuId Be Chreful in
Seed Selection

The testing of seeds by the schools
of the fifteen counties in which the
North Dakota Better Farming associ-
alton is interested. and which has been
going on for some time, shows that
good deal of the durum wheat and
the barley has low termination. Sec
retary Cooper is of the opinion that
the farmers should exercise the great
est care in selecting their seed for this
spring
Il can give no reason for this said
Mr.. Cooper to The Forum, excepting
that perhaps the farmers have per-
mitted the seed to be exposed too
much and that it was damaged there
by. All the tests that have been made
show termination of about 500. We
haven't completed all the tests as yet
for they are coming in all the time,
but what reports have come warrant
a statement as given above. This
comprises the fifteen counties in which
the better farming association is in
terested and while 1t is not a serious
matter, still the farmer should be very
careful in the selection of his grain for
seeding. | would advise either the
purchase Of new seed or the regarding
Of what is already on hand. The test
ing was done under the direction of
the association and was actually done
by the different school children, All
of our work in all of the counties is
showing up well and our men are al
ready working in the territory assign
ed to them, and we are expecting to
secure other counties in the near fu-
ture and send men there. although the
securing the kind of men we want is a
rather difficult problem"

CATION to circumstances surrounding
the murder of Franklin Z. Funk. cash
ier Of the First National bank, strong
ly indicate the guilt of w. T. Ander-
son, clerk in the same bank, who was
arrested Immediately following the
shooting Monday night.
Scratches on q, window sill, powder
dust on the floor Of the room from
which the shot must have been fred,
the condition of the large number Of
firearms kept by Andersen, his peculi-
ar actions following the shooting and
host of other minor incidents all
join in pointing the accusing finger at
the man who has been business as
soCiate and apparently a close person
al friend Of the deceased banker.
Funk was shot while he was on his
back porch, in direct line from the
window from which it is said the fatal
bullet was fired. He had just stopped
over to pick up his 2-year -old baby
and carry her into the house for din

bullet entered the body from the front

and above the nipple and came out one
and one-half inches to the left of the
vertebral column between the seventh
tebrai bone was fraEmented and a
portion Of the lead patch on the bullet
was found in the wound. The wound
where the bullet entered was about
the size Of an ordinary mans little
finger and the hole where it emerged
was about as large as a mans thumb.
There were.a number of people who
congregated at the scene of the muir

assist in taking the body into the
house. Others were within a short
distance of the house and were there
almost Immediately. Within five min
utes after the explosion was heard
there were probably fifty people in the
yard where the tragedy had occurred.
But despite the fact that, Anderson
admits he was in his own house. thir-
ty-five feet away, he did not appear on
the scene for at least five minutes aft
er the tragedy occurred. He had, how
ever. left the house and gone to his
garage and then returned to the house
and 1t was not until he was asked that
he stated anything about hearing the
discharge of the rife and he then said
that he heard 1t but was in the base
ment at the time. He stated after he
was arrested that he and the dead
man had never had any differences
and that he was on the best of terms
with Funk.
An examination OF the window from
which the bullet apparently came
shows scratches where 1t is supposed
the rifle was rested when the shot was
fired and there is fine white dust on
the floor which indicates that thu bar

firearms of various sorts in the house
but all the rest with the exception of
the rife in question were covered with
oil that had been applied when they
were put away for the winter last fall.

brought to trial in the district court.
That the shot was fired from the in.
side of the Anderson home there car
be no question but the fact remains
that no one saw the act and 1t will bt
hard to prove positively that he WaG
the man who held the rife. Anderson
has denied that he is guilty but fur
theT refuses to talk He would not see
newspaper representatives and any
conversation he had with his relatives
referred only TO the engaging of legal
advisors. He stated that he mad made
arrangements to have George Bangs
OF Grand Forks actin hts defense Il
the case was ever brought to the dis.
trict court.
Anderson is married man but IL is
stated that his wife had left him. II
is also generally understood that he has
no money except what he earned as q
clerk in the bank, although 1t is known
that his wife is wealthy. The only
thing that has been worked out as yet
is that he was a monomaniac on the
point Of desiring to gain control of
he was employed. Working on this
supposition ii is claimed that all the
attempts to scare Funk out of the city
were born in the brain Of Anderson
and carried out by him. He is thought
to have been the man who once threw
a brick through the window of the
bank and later hurled a missile
through the window of the Funk res
idence and again painted a skull and
cross bones on the window of the
bank with a warning to Funk to leave
town or suffer the consequences, 1t be-
ing argued that If he was able to get
Funk to leave he would be able to Sc
cure the stock by purchase.
Anderson is local boy, having been
born and raised on a farm near here
and educated in the schools of the
state. His brother is now county treas
urer. His trouble with his wife orig
mated from his use of money she had
left in his charge and has dated back
for a number of months.
Yesterday afternoon a coroner's jury
was empaneled consisting of Frank
Thompson. hardware dealer, and
George Yackey, general merchant, and
Thomas McCann, dealer in livestock.
The scene of the crime was visited
and the remains of the deceased ex-
amined and some testimony taken be-
fore o'clock, when adjournment was
taken until 1880.
An examination was made Of the af-
fairs of the bank and the cash count
ed and there were no discrepancies
found in Anderson's accounts. August

bank is one Of the strongest in the

result Of the killing OF Funk and the
subsequent arrest of Anderson.

hour and at 10:45 brought in the ver-
dict as follows:
