MIen SCHOOL NOTES

You can always tell a Senior,
He's so sedately gowned;
You can always tell a sophnore
BY the way he jumps around;
You can ALWAYS tell a Freshie,
Bv tanned looks and such:
You can always tell Junior,
But you can't tell him much.
The rhetoricals are now in
full swing. The first number.
a piano solo was given Monday
by Marguerite Nordin. The
second, an interesting talk on
current events by Melvin Cor
der; the third an instrumental
duet by Alice Greiner and Ger
trude Dana and talk on the
Worlds Baseball series by
Dana Mcintosh.
I The ! senior class showered
some of it's absent members
with post cards this week.
On Monday a meeting of the
boys interested in basket ball
was called and the request
made that they bring along
their grades. The yroan that
arose was doubtedless due to
the fact that the boys did not
look forward with any degree
of pleasure to carrying such
large burdens. The girls in
terested in basket ball also
held Il meeting and work will
be started this week.

Better Farming Notes

AS the time approaches when
the ground freezes it will be
we'll to look after the seed corn
that has been saved. If the
moisture is not all dried out of
the grain and cob it will freeze
and kill the germ. Better to
take the seed to room where
it will not freeze. Saving
ones own seed not only saves
the cash outlay but home
grown seed is better adapted to
the locality where grown and
if the termination is preserved
will produce earlier maturing
corn than seed shipped in from
southern localities.

Better Farming Agent.

Death One Man Unknown
Two SUSPECTS Arrested

Lansford, Oct. 10. Blood
stained stones near the scene
of the nIurderOus attack upon
J. n. karts of breckenridge,
Mimi, who lies in a very seri-
Gus condition in the hospital
here as the result of his in
juries, and a companion who
was killed outright, are appar-
emily the only traces the au-
thorities have of the murder,
one of the most brutal in this
section of the state in years.
a posse has been securing
the country for the past 4S
hours but no trace has been
found Of the men, although it
is believed they are the same
who attempted to dispose of a
watch, taken from one of their
victims, at Norwich. Reports
today that men answering the
description obtained of the
murdercrs had been seen at
Minot. lead the authorities
there, but up to a late hour to-
night, no arrests had been re
ported.
The men were found at 73O
O'Clock Friday morning by &.
+. Cooper, a farmer, who was
driving by and saw them side
by side and covered with blood
near the Great Northern rail
road track half mile from
town.
The men had evidently been
held up and fatally stoned by
the murderers, bloodstained
rocks found besides the bodies
indicating the manner in which
they subdued their victims.
Their clothing was torn from
their bodies and their shoes
and stockings had been pulled
off. A cheap watch and a sill
yer dollar on the dead man
had evidently been overlooked
by the thieves. a draft for $47
was not taken by the hOld-up
men. The dead mans identi
ty is not known.
According to the physicians
in charge of karst's case, the
wounded man has no chance to
live. His skull is battered in
and ne has been unconscious

karst had recently lived in
breckenridge, Ninn., where he
owns a half section Of land. He
was divorced from his wife
about year ago and since that
time has been ON the road
travelling all over the country.

idea they know who the rnur-
derers are. One of the men
is about six feet tall. weighs
lS5 pounds, wears cap and d
dirty grey suit Of clothes, and
has a smooth shaven face. The
