BUY A TRAINLOAD
OF DAIRY STOCK

New England. N. D. June 1S.-W. L.
Gardner arrived from South st. Paul
with $50 head of young heifers. They
are all of the dairy type Will be
sold to farmers in his vicinity to. be
used in building up the dairy herds in
the New England territory.
This Is the largest shipment Of
dairy stock ever shipped to New Eng
land or any other town in this section
Of the state. They were purchased
and brought into the country by the
Murphy-Gardner Land Co., and this
firm should be given credit for the
work it is doing to put the New Eng
land farming community on the map.
Just recently 5000 copies Of a land
booklet entitled 1.-The Poor Mans
Paradise" describing the advantages
of this part of the state as a farm
ing community, were printed at this
office and are now being distributed in
eastern states.
Regarding this shipment Of cattle
the Daily Reporter of South st. Paul
has the following mention:
"W. L. Gardner Of the Murphy
Gardner Land Company Of New Eng
land, N. D., today shipped a train
load Of we'll bred stock heifers from
the South st. Paul market, the con-
signment including about $50 head and
comprising one of the largest single
shipments from the local market this
season. He has been on the market
for a week picking out suitable stock
which he proposes to distribute among
the farmers of his vicinity for dairy
purposes. The heifers were all tu-
berculin tested before being shipped
and constituted a choice assortment
He reports crop conditions excellent
in his locality and incidentally ex-
pressed his confidence in the rapid de-
velopment of the South st. Paul mar
ket into one of the very largest in the
country"
The big herd Of young mich stock
was driven at once to the Murphy
Gardner ranch three miles east OF
town where they will be u until this
fall or until sold out to dairymen.
The shipment consisted of one car
load of full blooded Holsteins, M cal
Of grade Holsteins and all of the
others are of the most approved type
for dairy purposes.

CLUB FOOT"
WOLF Was KILLED

Marmarth, N. D., June 18.-For sew
eral years the ranchers along the
Cannon Ball creek, over in Montana,
have been complaining of a certain
wolf generally known as Old Club
Foot, which has led all the raids on
stock in that vicinity.
Whenever there was a killing cold
Club Foot's" track was plainly dis
cernabIe. especially when there was
snow, until his particular wolf was
held in much dread and 1t has been
generally given out that there was a
special reward Of 500 to the lucky
capturers of "Old Club Foot"
Monday while Oscar Woods and
Lee Gilmore were riding the coun-
try southwest of Pretty Butte they
jumped a huge grey wolf which had
Just fastened on a recent kill, and after
a hair raising, death risking race of a
mile and a half across buttes, C u
banks, gulches, and other obstacles,
the wolf attempted to cut from Gil
more'S course owe across the course
of Woods, whose horse made an extra
dash across a gully enabling Oscar
to drop his rope over the wolf.
The animal partly jumped through
the moose which frightened about his
groins, and Oscars horse Immediately
dashed u the amman untl
Gilmore could get his rope over it
head.
Neither of the men had a gun ant
they were obliged to club him to deatl
while the trusty ponies were holdinl
him stretched out. Upon examination
it was found to be a huge dog wolf
weighing in the neighborhood of %
pounds with a head as big as a blacl
bear and about tWO-thkrdS of on
front foot gone.
The animal was probably 10 to 1
years of age. and was the biggest vol
ever captured in these parts.
The captors received the usua
bounty of $40 offered On greys by tn
local Stock association and If the,
are awarded the 800 which 1t ha
generally been understood has beer
offered for the capture Of Old Clu'
Foot, it will prove a lucky capture b!
them.

DICKEY COUNTY PLANS
GOOD ROAD SYSTEM

Glendale, N. D., June 16.-Repre-
sentatives of he townships of Dickey
county met at Glendale to discuss the
problems of road building and TO lay
out work for the coming year in such
a way that the work done in one
township might fit with that done IN
another, and thus make a start toward
securing a system of UNIFORM roaos
throughout the county.
1t was decided that the most feas-
ible way to make a BEGINNING toWdTu
such a system would be to designate
certain roads as county roads n to
do extra work on them this season
the townships through which they
passed being asked to give them sIe-
cial attention. 1t was proposed that a
road leading from Glendale east to
Ludden, north Of Cakes, west TO MON
ango or Merricourt and south to Ellen
daie be designated, it being the tnten-
tion that these roads should be put in
first class shape and that they should
serve as trunk roads. Later ROADS
leading into these will be developed
| and the county gradually secure a
muc hbetter plan of roads than at
present.
Operate Under Law of 1912.
h townships of Dickey county are
operating under the 1912 law and each
township has a township overseer ap-
| pointed for the ensuing year., prac-
| ticalIy all of whom are present at the
meeting, the success of which was due
to the efforts of Mr.. w. b. R1charus
The county commissioners were pres
emit and Mr.. G. S. Brown, chairman o!
the board, stated to the township over
seers the position that the ooaro toof
and assured them of their hearty sup
Tort and cooperation.
