NO FREE "SNO0SE:"
At COUNTY FAIR
NQRLIN BELIEVES THAT VISIT
ORS AT FAIR HAD BETTER
CHEW RIGHT CUT.

]. O. Norlin asks The Tribune to
kindly announce to the people of
Burke county that there will be no
''snoose' given away at the county
fair to be held here in August. Ar
rangements had been practically
made to furnish carload of this
commodity to anybody and every
body who came to the fair, but a
few weeks ago the Weyman-Bruton
Co., manufacturers of snuff, put a
new tobacco on the market which
is proving to be even a great deal
stronger than the old article. The
new tobacco is being sold at all
stores in the county, and is doing
up many men who could easily
chew large quantities of snuff with
out any immediate visible effect.
After consulting with his friend G.
i. Porter Of C0teau, Mr.. Norlin de-
cided that the visitors could chew
the new tobacco if they wanted to
be laid out. Mr.. Porter, however,
is Of the opinion that Norlin never
did intend to furnish snuff to the
visitors, but instead circulated that
report so he could get q lot of free
samples of the commodity from
the snuff companies.

Of DRUNKEN FIGHT
MAN is BEATEN TO DEATH IN
DRUNKEN BRAWL IN HET-

Hettinger, N. D., July 9.-Mike
Pendergras Of Strool met death as
a result of drunken row and five
men who were with him at the
time are under arrest chraged with
beating him to death. The men
under arrest are John Poblitz, Bob
Wilson, Jim O'Hara and another
man whose name has not been
learned.
A hearing was held at Bison at
which time Bob Wilson and the un-
known man were held on bonds
and John Poblitz, Fred Mertz and
Jim O'Hara were ordered to be
held by the sheriff. .a
The story of the alleged crime as
told by witnesses at the prelimin-
ary hearing is essentially as fol-
lows:
Pendergras and his companions
went out to the Gypsy camp near
Strool and at first got into a quar-
rel with the Gypsies. Later they
got into a quarrel among them
selves, and it is said that the five
men who were with Pendergras
turned on him and beat him and,
throwing him into their auto,
drove away. The next day his
body was found in his own bed In
his livery barn.

RAIN DURING SPRING MONTHS
IN 1912 WAS GREATER
.r THAN THIS YEAR.
Rain During June This
Year Was 5.89 Inches
PLENTY OF RAIN HERE IF 1T
FALLS AT THE PROPER
. TIME

People in all sections of Burke
county would be willing to gamble
that more rain fell this spring than
there has fell here for many years
past, and some would go SO far as
to swear to it. Such, however, is
not the case. According to gov
ernment instruments here in charge
of Attorney Geo: H. Phelps S.41
inches of rain fell during the months
of April, May and June in 1912,
4.85 inches fell during the, same
months in 1913, and in the same
months this year S.02 inches fell,
which shows that 80 more inches
Of water was received during the
spring months of 1912 than there
was this year. However, great
deal more rain fell here this year
duJ1ng the month of June than dur
ing any former year since the gov
-ernment instruments were put in,
and that is the reason the crops
look so good now. We receive
enough rain here during the
course of each year, but the trouble
is that it has not been coming at
the right time. Following is the
table giving the fall Of rain dur
ing the past three years::$s.

CHICKENS ARE PLEN.
T|FUL N HILLS
TOM stage SAYS BIRDS WE'RE
NOT EFFECTED BY SNOW
STORM AND RAINS.

Tom Stagg of Dimond township,
who was in the city few days last
week and this acting as member
of the canvassing board, tells The
Tribune that he has seen more
chickens in the hills country this
year than he has ever seen before
at this time of the year. Mr.. Stagg
is one of the most ardent sportsmen
in the county, and others who like
to hunt once in while always
look to him for advice as TO how
hunting will be each year. He has
maze a study of the habits of both
ducks and chickens and usually
knows what he is talking about.
Contrary to the supposition of most
people the snow storm late last
spring did not effect the Matching
of the birds, and neither did the
many rains kill off the young
chickens. The birds in some in
stances are already large enough to
fly, ana are doing nicely in every
respect. Ducks are about as num-
erous as they were in former years,
the large number of sloughs and
pot holes made by the heavy rains
not having inauced any more to
hatch here than was the case in
former years.

the county auditors of both Burke

he was high man of the four can
d1dates for the legislature of this
district. He came in second in
Burke county, but the vote he re-
ceived in Divide was so great that
he lead his nearest opponent by a
large number Of votes. Staale will
win at the general election next
fall without any trouble, and then
he will put up the best kind of a
fight he knows how for the speak,
