II haven't any faith in the rainmak

laws of nature, is due. They ar,

FIREBUG
Mystery of Series of Fires In Lead
Cleared Up.

Lead, June 25.-In the arrest of
an individual named Frank Sarich, a
young Slavonian, the local police be-
.lieve they have in custody the mys-
terious %''hrebug" who has been re-
sponsible for the setting of several
recent fires in different parts of Lead.
The young fellow is not bright men
tally and appears to have a mania
for setting fires. He has resided here
for about six years, and during that
time has eked out an existence by do
ing odd jobs, running errands and ac-
eepting the charity of his fellow
c%ountrymen. He has had no perma-
nent habitation and has slept in
vacant buildings, even during the
coolest weather. In two of the build
ings he thus occupied fires broke out.
other fires are believed to have been
set by him. He was seen coming
from the latest building fired a short
time before the fire was discovered.
The police, under the circumstances,
believe he is a dangerous character
to be permitted to run at large, and
in the effort to have him properly
looked after it is planned to have him
taken before the county board of in
sanity and examined as to his sanity.
If he is declared to be insane he will
be sent to the state hospital for the
insane at Yankton, where he can re-
ceive proper care and treatment.

Deadwood-That Col. Roosevelt
intends to be present at the state fair
at Huron in September Is the asser-
ton of Irving III. Jones of Huron,
secretary of the progressive party in
this state, who is here on a little tour
of inspection. Mr.. Jones declined to
state the exact purpose of his mission
here, but admitted that he might look
around the Hills in the interests OF
the bull moosers of the state, OF
whom there are apparently few in
this section.
Deadwood-Within a day of each
other, two boys who recently met
with accidents passed away. In the
first case James Miller, the 15-year-
old son of Joe Miller of this city, died
at the hospital here as a result of in
juries when he fell some weeks ago,
his horse falling on top of him. The
other was the 12-year-old son of Con
Hood, the well known Centennial val
ley rancher, the boy suffering from
loss of blood. He had been riding his
bicycle near his home and, in falling,
cut his leg and severed an artery, and
before he could receive aid had been
too weakened to recover. He died al

I'm the eastern part of the state,
and in fact all parts of the state, If
the rainfall is abundant, ii may be
necessary to cock it. If so, the cocks
should be built high and narrow. An
alfalfa cock is in good proportion
when it is about two feet in diam
eter by four feet high. 1t is an ex-
cellent plan TO cover these cocks with
a special alfalfa cock cover, made of
canvas, to avoid its being injured by
rain. Every effort should be made
to get the alfalfa into the stack or
barn without losing many of its
leaves or its color.
Alfalfa with a bright green color
and with plenty of leaves, ranks the
same on the market as wheat of good
milling quality, bright, plump and
clean, in other words. No. L."

month. The fruit crop in this section
and other parts of the west, has
called for the use of more cars than
had been expected.
A like condition exists all over the
west, railroad officials declare, the
crops summed up being more than so
per cent better than they have been
i'm the last twenty-five years. AS a
result it is feared by some that the
effects of a car shortage will be ex-
perienced in this section.
Officials declare that it will become
necessary to engage more men, and
they predict a brighter future in all
lines of business as a consequence OF
the heavy crop movement.

for which. she says, she was promised
$500 in the will, had to start suit in the
district court against the estate in

The old lady was Mrs. Celia Oster.
She was worth about 100000 when
she died a short time ago and divided
her money and property among a num-
Der of friends and heirs and made sew
eral requests to charitable institutions,
but Reiner came In for the rest of the
estate, receiving $4,000 from 1t and
all of the money Mrs. Oster had In two
Denver banks, amounting to $4,000.
Mrs. Oster became q widow q num-
Der of years ago and, being childless,

little services. Reiner, however, she
found to be a different sort. although
a young man. He entertained Mrs.
Oster In numerous ways and never
asked anything In return. When she
died he found he suddenly had become

When Mrs. Oster made her will she
left $500 to be paid to Mrs. Evans

SUCCESS OF


Bookings, June 25.-The time to
cut alfalfa depends more upon the
condition of the small shoots at the
crown of the plant than it does upon
the bloom, according to Manley
Champlin, assistant agronomist at
the state college.
The blooming of alfalfa depends
upon the seasonal conditions and is
therefore a very poor indicator of the
time when alfalfa should be cut. 1t
is better to cut it when the small
shoots appear at the crown Of the
plant and every effort should be made
to cut the alfalfa promptly, as If
these second shoots are cut off, the
second crop will be set back from one
to three weeks, thus losing valuable
time in the making of the crop. Some
seasons the alfalfa will be half In
bloom and other seasons will scarcely
be in bloom at all when ready to cut.
As long as moisture Is in abundance,
the plant makes a vegetative growth;
when it is dry, on the other hand, il
attempts to reproduce itself and
therefore blossoms abundantly in the
same manner as has often been noted
that wheat heads out on a very short
straw in a very dry season.
| The alfalfa should be cut and al
lowed to lie in the swath from two
to four hours. 1t should then be
raked into punches and allowed to
dry enough SO that when a wisp is
twisted, water drops will not be
squeezed out OF it. 1t is then ready
to be moved away or put in the
stack.
