CONFLICTING REPORTS ARE CIV
EN- OUT AS TO THE CAUSE OF
SHOOTING AFFAIR,

jamestown, N. D., Jan. 25-Word
reached the city yesterday afternoon
Of the death Of Owen Richards, son
of Grant Richards, who lives about
five miles southwest Of Jamestown.
Death was due to bullet wound in
the head, which entered just above
the right ear. The bullet was from
a number % cartridge. He was at the
home of his father at a. M, at which
time the shooting occurred.
There are various conflicting re-
ports as to the cause Of the shooting
and up to Late hour nothing definite
had been given to the public. It is
known that young Richards was in
the house up stairs at the time he was
shot and the shooting occurred soon
after he had gone up. A coroner g
inquest was held during the day.
One theory points to euicide Of
the young man, and still another as.
signs a different reason. A young
lady was stopping at the house, and
it is reported that Richards was
found in her room. The deceased
was bout 20 years Of age. DR.. Mo
vius was called and made an examina.
ton Of the wound. The results Of the
coroner's inquest will probably throw
more light on the facts and circum
stances surrounding the case.

the temptation of home builders who
look beyond the peaks. More than

in beautifying the residence parks in
that region, and there still is oppor-
tunity for many more subdivisions,
which will materialize, probably, as
soon as the tunnel has been built.

and the steel specifications finished.
The bridge will be completed In 20
months and trains will be running

TideWater Southern
Benefit to Farmers

The Tidewater Southern railroad.
which is now operating between
Stockton and Modesto, Cal. has
aroused the interest OF the farmers
along the line. The last news re-
ceived in financial circles In san
Francisco points tosthe fact that the
association of farmers at various
points between Stockton and Modesto
have banded themselves together for
the purpose of building cooperative
warehouses along the line. The agri-
culturist realizes the advantages to
be derived from water competition
with rail-, and because of this it has
not been difficult matter to raise
money sufficient to put up the ware
houses needed for the purpose The
last association to get into the ware
house business is reported by James
High, Captain Diard, Louis Crohn, w.
M. May and A. b. Smith, committee
who are to see to the organization of
line warehouse company at Sturdi-
ford station, on the Tidewater near
Modesto. Incidentally 1t may be
mentioned that all preparations for
the rapid prosecution for the build
ing of the railroad from Modesto to
Merced have been completed, incIud-
ing the opening of the right Of way
along this line through various large
farming tracts, including Grogan's
tract, into the city of Merced. The
Tidewater road runs through the CEN
ter of this tract for six and a half
miles, and the right of way obtained
here was the last necessary before be-
ginning the operation in road build
ing. 1t is now looked forward to as
an assured fact that the railroad will
be completed from Merced to Modesto
within the next six months. This road
will open up a vast tract of farming
territory west and south OF the South
ern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads.
Small communities are sure to spring
up along the line of the road, as the
farmers are given water competition
by means of steamers from Stockton
| to San Francisco.

Several well known San Francisco
business men have organized the Call
fornia Unit Farms company and they
should be able to revolutionize the
farming industry in California. Ac-
cording to this company's method, any
one may now become a farmer, yet
live and work in the city and still
receive some of the profits of farm
ing.
The California Unit Farms company
owns $40 acres of land in Glenn

perts: Leslie w. Symmes. general
farming and farm animal expert,
George Ross, cultivation and farm
production expert
The advisory board of experts Will
expert the sell and determine what
will grow best and most profitably on
each bit of land. Wherever they de-
clare that olives, alfalfa, vegetables
or other products Will grow most
profitabiy, those products will be
planted wherever they declare that IT
best for dairying, hog or chicken rails
ing, that part of the property will be
devoted to that particular branch of
farming recommended. Then the act
ual work of caring for the products
will be done by competent farmers,
working under the supervision of the
experts.
The California Unit Farms company
Is now Offering for sale 10000 units
against the go acres. and q deed of
trust has been placed with the Anglo
California Trust company in favor Of

his money and share of the profits
to be derived-first. from the sale OF
all products; and, secondly, from the
ultimate sale of the land. Each unit
holder may purchase as many units
as may be desired. The division Of all
profits is made at all times according
to the number of units each unit
