MD TRAITOR :. !
in MONTANA

Buford Tribune: From Sheridan
County, Mont, News: Charles Win
field otherwise known as Kid
Traitor the famous horse rustIer-
who has been quoted in the eastern
papers for several weeks past as be-
ing in Jail at Plentywood, shackled,
hand-cuffed and watched day and
night, but who in fact has been look
ing after a herd of horses for Geo.
Meltzer at Antelope, arrived in the
city Tuesday n appeared before
Justice Bolster to answer to the
charge of h~orse-rustling. The COM
planning witness in the case was K. /.
Mathews, foreman Of the Davidson
ranch, east of Froid. Mathews was
placed on the stand n testified that
Traitor had taken several head of
horses from his ranch hat the
same were later found in a pasture
ear Trenten, n. D., and the sheriff
of Williams county was Immediately
placed on the trail. Trailor had five
witnesses placed on h stand and
proved beyond a question of doubt
that Mathews had authorized him to
take the horses and use them during
the summer months. ano return them
later OF in The season. 1t was fur

business since his release from the
Canadian authorities, and that he had
been working for an honest living.
The result was that the case was
thrown out of court, the bondsmen
released and Trailor turned u a free
man: Among the witnesses that APP
peared for the defendant. were Geo.
Ryerson, j.. G. Wigmore and Geo.
Meltzer of Medicine Lake, John Dwyer,
of Dwyer postoffice, and Walter Retz-
laff, of Culhertson. Summing the
matter up as whole it looks pretty
much as though someone down at the
boom city of Williston was looking for
a little cheap notoriety--or in other
words attempting to play politics right
early in the game. Fact is, Trailor
has not been in Jail in Plentywood-
regardless of what reports Say-and
right0now is about as free a man as
you have ever seem
The fact that kid Trailor'' as
sociates with g. g. Meltzer, who is
well known In North Dakota as an
alI-round crook, is nine points against
the Kid THE horses which he may
be running for for the aforesaid Melt
ger are probahIyAthe ones which
Meltzer bamboozIed Kate Hammer out
of soon after the death OF her llus-
band-4Tom Hammer.
If the editor of The Sheridan Coun-
ty News was as well acquainted with
the past life Of ~sorEefof the witnesses
in this case as The Tribune editor is,
Bro. Cook would use a Winchester
rifle when any Of them set foot upon
his premises-Tnaores particularly the
Meltzer gand.a He would also learn
that politics had no piacefin this mat
~ter--only the protection sof our farm

thieves.

Mckenzie. N. D., Aug. 5.-Water
Foreman ~Tackaberry of the, N, P. was
here figuring on making arrangements
to close the pumping station here and
opening one at Bessoba where there is
an excellent flowing well. In the event
this pumping station is closed and the
right to. the pipe line and reservoir
could be leased there would be an ex-
cellent opportunity for this village to
Install a system Of waterworks. Such
q, system would be a blessing to this
well-less town n would meet with
universal favor and support. The idea
of sinking a we'll and erecting a small
standpipe has been entertained for
some time but nothing has ever been
done to put it in practice, There are
only about two good wells in McKen-
zie and those not conveniently located
near these wells must have water
hauled at a much greater cost per
month han the tax would be for all
the water they could use from a sys-
tenn of WaterWorks.f

HUNDERSToRMs

A student of electricity offers in The
New York Sun this advice to persons
who are afraid of lightning
eff in a building which is isolated in
the open country or is higher than
surrounding buildings in a group, avoid
chimneys or other fues, open windows
or draughts, especially warm current
Of air, directly below a high tower or

these are generally protected by light

IF in the open, avoid trees, wire
fences u poles, and If you happen to
be the most prominent object in the
landscape, az in an open field or on a
; beach. do not raise a steel rod umbrel-
| la or in fact any umbrella, as you may
become a living lightning rod without
an approved ground connection.
IF you should happen to be caught
in such open space, with lightning dis
charges coming very close. as may be
determined by the lessening intervals
between fash and report, it is better
to lie fiat N the ground and risk a
soaking than to offer a possible path
for a discharge. The reason for this
is that the body, being warm, offers a
j. better conductor than the surrounding
air, and but a few feet rise is neces-
sary to attract lightning on fiat
ground"
And The Minneapolis News adds the
following very sensible comment:
Having observed these simple pre-
cautions, take this additional piece of
! advice. with our compliments: Don't
worry. The number of deaths from
lightning is very small. Because they
are usually dramatic, they are vividly
reported by efficient and ambitious
news writers, but there aren't many of
them. And If it should be your rare
destiny to pass away on the wings of
an electrical storm, why, you'll have

DELAY WORK ON
EXPERIMENT FARM

Mandan, N. D., Aug. 5.-Many have
begun to wonder what has become of
the half interest of the state of North
Dakota in that section of land pur-
chased for the two experiment farms
state livestock and government agri-
cultural. The government end of the
project is being rapidly developed and
the farm soon will be permanently es-
tablished, but nothing has as yet been
done by the state, not ever the laying
Of plans for their enterprise.
Several who are in a position to
know the why and wherefore" of
these things have been interviewed,
and it has come. to light that the state
probably will not do anything with
their part of the work for two years,
but big developments are looked for in
1915. The reason for delay is very
good.
The last legislature failed to make
any appropriation for use by the A. c.
looking toward establishing and stock
ing a livestock experiment farm here.
That body, however, will be asked for
to be used for this purpose BY that
time everything will be ready@for firm
ly establishing a permanent state in
~stitution which can work in complete
harmony with the federal part of the
farm.
The Northern Great Plains station
can have accumulated a supply of feed
and will have BECOME sufficiently well
settled to continue this supply for the
states animals, 1t is a part of the
general agreement on the station that
they r to supply absolutely free of
charge the feed necessary for supply
ing the herds of the state farm, which
will not only make possible the much
cheaper maintenance of this latter In
stitution but will afford a very worthy
outlet for the products of the fields Of
the government farm.
The two farms will make Mandan
the seat of the greatest institution Of
the kind in the country.

CuRslNG HI TRUSTS.

; The trusts have fallen upon evil
days. That news which was publish
ed in The Forum last evening regard
ing the slash in express rates that is
to be made at the orders Of the inter-
state m commission, carries
with it far more significance than the
mere information that the country Is
to get it's express sent at a more
reasonable figure.
Time was when the express COM
panies lorded it with a high hand. OF
all the trusts none have been more
powerfully arrogant, more given to a
public be damned course, than the
express companies. In the good old
days when Tom Plat, who, while
president Of one of the great express
companies, sat in the United States
senate and ran things to suit his own
sweet will, the express companies
could afford to laugh in the face Of
public opinion.
1t is said that the express companies
were the only great corporations in
the country Jndt were able 20 eVade
payment of any kind of a tax IN sup
port of the Spanish-American war,
and the influence of Tom Plat in the
senate has always believed to have
been responsible for this.
The changing trend of the times Is
plainly to be seen in this order of the
interstate commerce. Not only are the
express companies to be forced to
handle their business at reasonable
rates but some of their outrageous
practices are to be eliminated. One of
the most vicious of the practices by
which the express trust "milked" the
people, was the long route scheme
and when the new order goes into eff
feet, the companies will be forced to
send packages by the shortest possible
route.
The first blow at the express trust
was struck when the enlarged parcel
post act went into effect. This latest
order would seem to assure the public
that the days Of the piratical express
trust are practically over and that
the people will Don be able to get
their smaller packages transported
without having to pay tribute in a
holdup game.

81, 900 a mile to build and keep In re-.
