Andrews family four or five years ago

with headaches and at times acted
peculiarly. He went t o Iowa after

showing no signs of dependency or
any evidence of insanity. He arose
at the usual time. assisting the boys

chores and returning with them to
the house. He sat in his room read

When he again went to the barn.
When he failed to appear for dinner
the family thought he was visiting at
some of the neighbors and it wasn't
until one of the men went to the hay
loft to throw down hay for the horses

from a rope attached to one of the
steel supports. Coroner Jennings of
Lakota was called and the body given
over to the charge of Undertaken

as is known has no relatives in this

N. OAK. MAN
HAS DISAPPEARED
Henry King, Wintering in
California, is Sought
by Relatives.

Devils Lake. y. D.. March 81
v King Of Starkweather was here
on his way to San Diego, Cal, where
he was summoned by his mother. Mrs.
Henry King, who with Mr.. King and
their daughters, have been wintering
in California.
Mr.. King disappeared from San
Diego a week ago last Tuesday and
left no message explaining his absence
and the family fear that his mental
condition is not right and the son in
Starkweather was called to help
search for him. Mr.. King. it will BIS
remembered, suffered a long and seri-
Gus illness a few years ago with
typhoid pneumonia and for a time his
life was despaired of. He was taken
to Rochester and slowly recovered and
it is believed that this illness left his
mental condition impaired.
Before leaving San Diego he trans
ferred all his money in the bank at
that place to his wife and daughters
names. The family heard from him
once in a little town s~eventy-fve miles
east of San Diego. The letter con-
tanned little except that he was there.
They sent searching parties to the
place Immediately but no trace what
ever of him could be found.
Mr.. King is we'll known throughout
the Lake Region. Since his illness his
sons have taken charge Of the farms.

he lay on the ground senseless for at

He was unable to put on his coat and
suffered some from the cold. AL

his right side is still very painful and

TO ATTACK Pure
MILK ORDINANCES
Supreme Cours Appealed to
by Dairymen-Minne-
apolis Law Involved.

Washington March 31.-Attacks on
the stringent pure milk regulations
Of several large '1ities Is to be made
before the supreme court Of the Uni
ted States.
An attempt will be made shortly,
after the court convenes on April z,
to show that the Minneapolis ordi-
nance requiring the %"tuberculine test"
of COWS supplying the milk brought
into the city is unconstitutional. On
the same day, the court is expected to
announce whether it will review a case
in the local courts, wherein it was
held that milk containing more than
a certain number of bacteria was for
hidden the channels of interstate COM
merce by the federal pure food law.
The milk supply from several states,
in addition to Washington, crosses
state lines. Many other cities. includ-
ing Boston. Syracuse, Portland. Ore
gon; Rochester, Trenton and st. Jo-
seph, Missouri. have ordinances filling
the maximum number Of bacteria
which may be in milk sold within
their respective limits.
The Minneapolis ordinance was up
held in the supreme court of Minne-
sofa. There an attack was made upon
the validity of the test for tuberculosis
in cows as being arbitorary and not
pOr by medical science. That
point is not urged in the printed argu-
ment just filed in court on behalf Of
John Quincy Adams. a farmer who is
attacking the ordinance. His attack
is limited to trying to prove that the
ordinance is trying to prove that the
ordinance is class legislation in that
1t applies to cows outside the city and
not to those within the city. and that
it would confiscate his property, in
that it authorizes the immediate de-
struction of milk brought into the city
from cows that have not been "tuber-
culined."
