.$lOO AN ACRE
FOR corn
]. j. BRAND OF LOGAN SELLS
ENTIRE CROP TO ROELL HARD
WARE co. FOR SEED.

Few farms in Illinois will produce
a hundred dollars worth Of corn per
acre, and very few farmers from that
state would believe it if you told them
that there is man near Minot who
did this feat. Yet this is the truth
and his name is j. j. Brand, postoffice
address, Logan, N. D. Mr.. Brand
raised fine mature Northwestern Dent
seed corn, the entire crop, with the
exception Of what he saved for his
own seed being sold to the Roell
Hardware Co. This will be sold to
the farmers Of this vicinity next
spring for seed. Mr.. Brands corn
netted him hundred dollars an acre.
The corn yielded fully as well as the
corn grown in the crack corn states
of the east. Mr.. Brand has been
breeding up this seed for the past
four years, using great care in the
selection Of the seed. The ears are
uniform in size, with deep kernels.
He expects to produce an even finer
grade of corn next year.
Care in the selection of seed is very
important. Poor seed is cheap at any
price.
The Independent has a number Of
ears from Mr.. Brands crop which it
will be pleased to show all who are
interested.
Mr.. Brand does not pay much at
tention to the growing of small
grains, altho he has some nice yields
this year. He has about Is acres Of
garden truck that will net him more
than many section farms. He works
his land with care and has number
Of boys who assist him in taking good
care Of his crop.

|l.W. WIS JAILED
SUNDAY NIGHT
BRENNER, RELEASED
FROM DARLINGTON JAIL ON
LY THE DAY BEFORE, STARTS
ROUGH HOUSE WHEN POLICE
ORDER HIM TO GET OUT OF
ALLEY.

Six men, found lettering in the al
ley back Of the old Boston store block
Sunday night, were ordered to move
on by the police. After the officers had
made the third request, they proceed
ed to place them under arrest when a
9ood-sized scrap ensued. Herman
Bremen, the ]. w. w. agitator, who
was but recently released from the
Darlington Jail, struck Officer John
Reed a terrific blow on the nose and
mouth, then turned and caught Officer
Scott McGregor, when he turned and
ran. McGregor, who can run hun
dred yards in 10 seconds, found Bren-
ner almost too fleet footed for him.
Reed followed the pair and they pro-
ceeded up the alley, out onto First
street, down the alley back of the new
500 passenger depot. Reed shot into
the ground once or twice and ordered
Bremen to halt, but the fellow paid
no attention to his demand. Bremen
was caught and the officers found it
necessary to use him rather roughly
in order to subdue him. He was car
ried to the city Jail on a dray when a
doctor was called and his scalp wound
dressed.
Four of the others were covered by
a gun in the hands of Officer Dwire
and they were marched to the Jail. A
fifth escaped.
Bremen appeared to be pretty bad
off in the jail but the physician is Of
the opinion that he is taking. He has
been given the best of care, altho he
lies in a stupor when anyone is
around and from all appearances
seems like q man who has lost his
reason. Those in charge of the jail,
however, state that they have heard
him conversing with the other pris-
oners when he thot no one was around.
AS Bremen ran up the street he cried
Murder" at the top of his voice. Of
ficers called to by-standers to stop
the man but no one assisted them.
VIM. Bryne, confessed /. w. w. az
itator, and Berley Berry, member OF
the Butte chapter of the order, two
/, of the men arrested, were both SEN
fenced to ten days at hard labor by
Judge Lynch at their hearing Wed
nesday. Henry johnson and L.. An
derson, Migrants, and /. w. w. SYM
pathizers, were given ten days each.
The city was represented by Atty
Geo. A. MCGEE. The men left the
harvest fields to come to Minot.
Byrne had been in Minot during the
serious trouble few weeks ago.
Bremen was formerly secretary Of
the l. w. w. local at Eugene, Ore. He
was arrested there for attempting to
speak on the streets. Bremen was
arrested at Darlington on Labor day
for creating disturbance and was let
out last Saturday. Atty Kelso OF Mi
not was sent there to assist Bremen
in getting his liberty.
The following telegram was found
on Bremen, received while he was in
the Darlington jail:
"Minot, N. D., Sept. II.
Dear Boy: am sorry to hear you
have been in Jail SO long. Mr.. Kelso
will be with you Saturday. He is not
only good counsel, but kind friend, SO
cheer up.

by Bremen, dated the day OF his ar
rest in Minot, was found.

Taxing T ailings.

 Tom Campbell is relieved of a quan- dry, into which he had fallen, anent the taxing of tailingS at the Grown
 King mine. The ores were extracted from the llne and milleG, but quite a percentage of values were left, which after oxidation, are supposed to be recoverable. Campbell worried con- ,iderably over these lest values from the tax roll and finally asked the tax commission what he should do in the matter and received the comforting advice to place it on the tax roll as personal property. The mining claim on which the tailings pits are located is patented land and 1t is on the tax roll for good sized figure, but Camp bell did not propose to let the tallings become realestate, or go back to the soil until it has been squeezed oi every dollar of tax that could be placed against it. And now that the | Tax Commission has decided that tailings pit on patented lands is per
 sonal property we are sure it will alst hold that the fertil'zer placed upor the farm and orchard lands of tho Salt River valley should be segregated from the soil and also assessed as per
