Martin returned last week from their
cattle shipping trip to Chicago. They
found a good market. MI. Martin selling
his top steers at an average price of
$99. 80 each. and Mr.. Stoddard selling
his at 500. 80 each. by virtue of their
being a little heavier. Both GENTLE
men sold their steers at 81. IS which is
an excellent price. For the
second cut Mr.. Stoddard got 81. 80 and
for his COWS he received Sos go. The
for prime steers is not as good
as a year ago but on the other stuff it
was nearly as good.
The trial of one Baird has just come
to a close in Belle Fourche, South Da-
kota. The verdict brought in wal
guilty as charged. Baird was accused
of having acted as fence, or accomplice,
for Roy White, convicted of stealing a
horse belonging to the Jay G. Sheldon
estate. It will be remembered that the
couple were arrested close to New Eng
land, where they were disposing of
several horses. the stolen n included.
It seems that Baird bought a bunch of
horses from White and in company with
him grove them through to, the Dakota
line. selling them as they went. Baird
claims to have been acting in good
faith and unaware of the fact that one
of the horses had been stolen. The
case was hard fought. with a strong
array of counsel on both sides. The
jury was out is hours. Judge Rice
sentenced him to two years and six
months at the Sioux Falls penitentiary.
John Stein. one of the stalwart and
successful farmers cultivatine q half
section northeast of Oakdale, was in
town the first of the week and remem-
bered the Settler with a profitable call.
John was rather proud of the fact that
his 2. 400. pound team hauled fifty-nine
bushels of fax in to Dickinson without
any particular fuss. and states that they
can do the same thing most any time.
He received ST.. 10 for his flax Tuesday,
the price having done up lately. JUS
recently John started to diversity hi
| farming interests by purchasing sforty
head of fine young work horses from w
{. Richards. He bought them at
reasonable figure and will sell then
reasonably and when he said that the!
were good all round stock he knew jus
what he was talking about toe. as hi
father raised HIM on the home farm
near Anoka, Mimi. where nothing bu
pure blooded Percherons and Belgium
were allowed on the place.-Dunl
County Settler.
