HUNTER DROWNED
IN SLOUGH
Loses His Life in Shallow Water
Near Tappen.

George Fsetham, a young single
man OF about 80, met death by
drowning in slough near Tappen
while out hunting ducks. His watch
had stopped at $3.50 p. M, the water
in which he lay doubtless having
been the cause. The dead mans
horse and buggy, partly mired In
slough about three miles north of
Tappen, was found, and this created
the fear that something had hap
pened to the man. The rig was
brought in and it was thought Feet
ham might have wandered away in
the darkness and become lost. But
as he did not turn up that night nor
in the morning, q number of parties
started in search Of the missing mah.
Feetham's body was found scarce
ly covered by water in the slough re-
ferred to, and it was evident he had
been dead some hours The coroner
was summoned, and DR.. Lodge went
down from Steele. Cause of death
was clear enough. 1t was stated that
the dead man had been drinking
heavily the day before, and even pre-
viously, and it is supposed he stun
bled in the grass of the slough and
fell, and did not have enough con-
scious force to raise himself from
the water, which was only about
foot and half deep.
Deceased had a claim near Tap
pen on which he made final proof
about two years ago, and lived there
as bachelor. A brother resides In
Minneapolis, and the remains will
be sent there for burial.

A NORTH DAKOTA
"ALFALFA PICNIC''.

IAN Alfalfa Picnic'' wos given re-
Gently on the farm of B. J. Lyness,
near Fessenden. Mr.. Lyness' farm
consists of 1900 acres, and his land
never fails to pay him a profit. This
10 due largly to the fact that he has
large herds of blooded stock which
consume most of the grain raised
on the farm. He has a large field
Of alfalfa which is now undergoing
Its second cut. A large silo hold
ing 200 tons was recently completed,
and another one about half the size
will be erected on the farm this fall.
That alfalfa is soon to be Que o. the
most paying crops in North Dakota
Is an assured fact. It can be rails
ed anywhere in this part of the state.
All that is needed is little know
ledge as to the best methods of start
ing the crop.

SUTTON WANTS MIDLAND.

Sutton, N. D., Oct. 13.-Represen-
tatives of the Midland Continental
road have interviewed the citizens of
Sutton relative to bringing the road
to this point. Sutton is on the new
Great Northern cutoff between Fargo
and Minot, and in almost direct
line between Wimbledon, the pres
ent terminal Of the road, and Coop
-erstown, point to which the line
will be extended next summer. 1t
is unlikely that much funds can be
raised here, as Sutton would proba-
bly, lose more trade than it would
gain, were new towns to be started
on either side. The matter will be
taken up at mass meeting of the
business men.

IN SOUTHERN sTUTsNIAN

Threshing was commenced Tues
day in this part Of the county and
although the day was windy num-
ber of machines were at work clean
ing up small lots of grain. 1t is the
first time threshers have been able
to work since Thursday last, when
the rain effectually stopped thresh-
ing and made. the roads heavy.
On the Tim Williams farm west of
Sharlow fair grain crop was secur-
ed this year, wheat averaging Is
bushels to the acre and about $50
acres of fax are being threshed. It
promises to be good crop. Mr..
Williams is one of the pioneer farm
ers and settlers in this part of the
county having first taken land near
what is now Millarton, in 1882 and
his home has been one of the land
marks in. southern stutsman county,
along with the Alexanders, Browns,
Porters and other early settlers. Mr..
Williams has fine place with plenty
of water for stock, and has recently
built q big barn that can be seen
for many miles around. 1t has a
middle entrance for unloading hay
and special apparatus attached to
the roof with q traction run for now
ing away hay at either end of the
barn. The Williams farm has some
heavy draft farm horses, and the
owner believes in raising first class
stock. He has couple of young
Percheron. mares for which he was
recently offered 5000 and refused to
sell them. Among the horses on the
farm is recent purchase Of black
Percheron stallion, imported and one
Of the handsomest farm animals in
the county:
Flowing is being done on the Alex
ander farm this tall both by team
and by traction engine, and great
deal Of fall plowing has already been
done. ~
A good many farmers in this part
of the county have built temporary
granaries and stored their grain in
the field, more grain being raised
than there is granary room at the
farm to store 1t or time to haul It,.

 The colony is tract of 35 acres on the River boulevard, a mile and a half north of Independence, Kan. It was promoted by the Rev George K. Littlefield, organizer of similar farm at Westwood, Mass. Foreseeing ail- ure in his new venture, Littlefield several months ago returned to the more profitable fields of Massachu- setts.
