Arrested For
Cattle Rushing
Chauncey L. Johnson is Pinched

part of the county, was brought
in by the officials Of Ziebach
county, chargedwith having killed
and dressed for market a beef.
the property of the Matador
Cattle Company.
The offense is alleged to have
been committed in Dewey county,
but as the peace officers of Dewey
were all otherwise engaged it
was necessary for the officers of
Ziebach to act.
The defendant was brought be-
fore Judge Stow by Sheriff Mil
ton and was prosecuted by States
Attorney Gladstone, assisted by
| w. l.. Henderson. The defense
was handled by Judge Carpenter
of Mobridge.
The officers clam to have
caught the man in the act as
alleged, took the beef, hide and
prisoner to the county Jail at
Dupree, where the prisoner and
the pelt were deposited in the
same cell for safe keeping.
Chauncy was always of rather a
inquisitive nature and as he sat
in his lonley cell thinking of home
and mother. and gazing on all that
remained of a once proud and
beautiful beast of the prairie. his
thoughts drifted to the cost OF
high living, and wondered il

Sheriff Moses
Killed Monday
Said to Have Been Shot by His
Deputy, John II. Burgess

bud county, Montana, and a
former Sheriff of Butte county
was killed at Rosebud on Monday,
the two stories told concerning
the affairs are as follows:
The story from Forsyth was to
the effect that Sheriff Moses had
gone to the Burgess home at
Rosebud with the intention of
arresting his deputy, J. H. Burg
ess. That the deputy, after
coming out, returned to get his
gun and that Sheriff Moses
thinking Burgess was about to
shoot him drew his own gun and
fired. That Mr.. Burgess struck
up the sheriff's gun and the ball
struck Mrs. Burgess and that
Mr.. Burgess then fired and killed
the sheriff.
This story does not seem pro-
bable, a more credible story be-
ing the following, which was
obtained by a phone message to
parties in Rosebud to the effect
that Mr.. Moses, whose wife was
suing for divorce, came down
from Forsyth to see her and see
if he could induce her to return
home with him. That Mrs.
Moses, who was at the Burgess
home, refused and that Sheriff
Moses struck her, whereupon
Mrs. Burgess interviewed and
that the sheriff then pulled his
Il gun and fired, whether with the
] intention Of killing Mrs. Moses
or Mrs. Burgess, however not
: being stated. That the bullet
struck Mrs. Burgess in the shoul-
der and that Mr.. Burgess there
upon got his gun and shot the
{ sheriff three times. That Mr..
Burgess was afterwards arrested,
or gave himself up, and was
taken to Forsyth and placed in
jail.
Sheriff Moses was one of the
best known officers in this Sec
ton of the country and was an
! old time cow puncher, as is Mr..
Burgess, who is now a ranch
man as we'll as deputy sheriff.
Mr.. Moses worked for Clark and
; Plim, the ; V outfit, in the Belle
. Fourche country, as foreman, in

.octi,n of the experiment station
II 1913 has been closed. The
,ntest was started in the spring
# 1918 among the farm boys
and girls of the state not only to-
simulate interest in the produc-
tion of pork within the state but
also to illustrate as a profitable
farm enterprise. Any farm boy
or girl over ten years of age and
and under l3 years of age was
allowed to enter the contest.
They were permitted to select a
sow before farrowing and were
: REQUIRED to care for it and the
litter that was produced, the
object being to produce the larg-
est quantity of pork at the low
est cost before November 20, on
which date the contest closed.
Three hundred farm boys and
girls entered the contest. Entries
were made from all sections of
: the state. Each contestant re-
ported every week as to the
quantity and kinds of foods that
were fed. Foods were charged
at the average ten year price
that had prevailed in North Da-
kota, no charge being made for
house slops The results secur-
ed were surprising. From 1900
to 1900 pounds of pork were pro-
duced in a season of eight
months from the litter of a single
SOW, at a cost for food varying
from l.6 to 81 cent per pound.
The contest was decided on
the basis of the largest produc-
ton OF pork at the lowest price
per pound and in the shortest
period Of time. Thus three fac.
tors have been taken into con.
sideration: First the total produc.
ton of pork per litter; second,
the number Of days in which the
sproduct was grown; and third,
the cost of pork produced pei
pound. Three hundred an
forty dollars in cash are to bt

Cap and plume upon his head,
On his thigh a sword of lath,
A red cannon by the path,
The true, starry banner DER him,
And loud drum hung before him.
Give him room and let him bang,
Batter, clatter, craclle, clang,
Rub-a-dub, hur1ah, and charge
Strike and wheel and tramp at larg,
Fierce with valor, hewing down
Mullen stalk and thistle crown.
Yankee Doodle, four-year-old,
Now in minick battles bold,
Shall grow up in courage, strong
Ever battling 'gainst the wrong.
