vAMS|CKLE MURDER CASE
NOW UP TO THE JURY

The murder case in which Cary Van.
sickle is charged with the killing Of
Dols,. Anderson near San Jon last De
cembcr is now on trial. The jury was
finally filed after many new panncls
were selected and the witness com.
menced their testimony Wednesday
morning. II is said that the testimony
is stronger than was Mt first expected
and the prosecution is making a de.
tcrmncd effort TO secure conviction.
II will be remembered BY many that
Mr.. Anderson was a deputy sheriff for
that distric. and had been diligcnt in
his work Of assisting in running down
the more lawless element. Vansicklc
was charged with perjury and Ander.
son had a warrant for his arrest. When
he found Nansickle in the brakes sew.
eral miles from town. lie was chop.
ping wood when Anderson placed him
under arrest From the testimony we
learn that Nansickle submitted 90 the
arrest and supposedly went to get his
axe and accompany Anderson to tn.
cumcari TO answer 10 the charges pre-.
ferred. Instead Of getting the ax he
picked up Winchester and fired point
blank at Anderson. The shot took cf.
feet and Anderson died Immediately
Vansickle then left his victim and
went to oHc of the ncighbors where he
told them he had killed IA man and
they could go and get him. lie never
made any attempt 20 get away but
was arrested and placed in jail to
await the action of the grand jury
The grand jury found him guilty OF
murder in the first degree and il is up
on this indictment that he Is now be
ing tried.
The ease was turned over to the at
torneys to argue this morning and il il
expected the verdict will soon be rem
dered as the jury il composed Of mer
who will do the right thing and if they
say Vansicklc is guilty there is no de
nying the fact that they believe that
way and the evidence is sufficient foi
conviction.
Vansicklc says that Anderson tried
to pull his revolver and shoot him but
it got caught in the scabbord and wher
he shot him the gun was nearly out
There was no real eye witness 10 tn,
shooting as the young man who wa'
with Nansickle at the times says h,
had started down the hill and when h,
heard the shot fired he looked bach
in time TO see Anderson fall dead. II,
lnever saw Vansickle fire the shot bu
was quite sure he did.

The words of Judge Lieb 10 the jury

been misquoted and for the benefit Of
the public we will give an exact copy
as taken by the court stenographer;
Gentlemen, il is custom Of the

a verdict, 20 thank the jury for the at

II might he said that on criminal

during the past three years which Judge

voted conviction was last Monday
when Phillip Moore vas tried for as

week thought to have knowledge Of
how the murder Of Messrs Sweazea and
Jones, was indicted by the grandjury
on two charges. His trial will come up

CANADA WINNING
CHAMPIONSHIPS
IN AGRICULTURE
The Latest Is Winning Cham
pionship for Oats a Third
Time.

Recently was published the fact Of
remarkable winnings by Canadian
farmers in several events during the
past three or four years. The latest
Is that Of Messrs. j. c. Hill & Sons
OF Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, who
won In hard contest for the oat
championship over Montana. At the
National Corn Exposition at Dallas
during February, Montana oats were
awarded the championship for the
United States. Waiting for the win
ner OF this to be announced was
peck OF oats belonging to the Ca
madam growers above mentioned, and
alongside Of these was like quantity
belonging to Minnesota grower. who
was barred from the regular compe-
ution because he was at one time the
winner Of the trophy-the prize. The
three entries were side by side on the
judges bench. 1t would not be pos
sible to bring together three more
likely samples. The Montana and
Saskatchewan entries were OF equal
weight-50 pounds to the bushel. The
Minnesota sample was some three
pounds lighter. The award was
unanimous In favor of the Saskatche-
wan oats. A remarkable feature and
one greatly to the credit of the Ca
madam product was that the oats.
grown in 1913, were grown and shown
by those who had competed during
the past two years. winning on each
occasion. This. the third winning,
gave them for the third time the
worlds championship and full posses
sion OF the splendid $500 silver
trophy contributed by the state of
Colorado.
The oats which have thus given to
Western Canada another splendid ad-
vertising card, were grown 800 miles
north of the international boundary
line. proving that In this latitude, al,
the smaller grains can be grown with
greater perfection and with more
abundant yield than further south. In
all this country are to be found farm
ers who produce oats running from
AZ to 48 pounds to the bushel, and
with yields of from so to 100 bush
els per acre. Wheat also does we'll,
grades high, and yields from 30 to 40
bushels per acre. The same may be
said OF any portion of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, famed
over the world not only as a country
where championship grains are grown.
but where cattle and horses are raised
that also carry of championships and
where wild grasses are abundant
yielders. cultivated hay and alfalfa
are grown. thus giving plenty of feed,
and with q good climate, sufficient
shelter and plenty of water, bring
about results such as western Canada
has been able to record. Thousands
OF farmers from the United States
who have their homes in Canada bear
ample testimony to the benefits they
have derived from farming in west
ern Canada.-Advertisem
