vated Maize only 8 Years,
Makes Good Showing.

bushels of mature corn to his credit
from a single acre. Henry Nelson. the
l5-year-old son of H. A. Nelson,
known as the alfalfa king" won the
first prize of 500 in gold offered In
the Williams county corn growing
contest. The contest was open to boys
and adult farmers and more than zoo
were entered from all sections Of the
district The award Of prizes has been
announced by E. W. Hall. better
farming agent for the county.
II. A. Nelson won the second prize
with an average yield Of 81 1-2 BUSH
ole on a three-acre tract of ground.
Tommy Craven, Jr.. Of Williston was
awarded third prize and Howard
brothers, Williston farmers, were
fourth.

prize winners is northwestern dent,
and was raised from homegrown seed.
AS Williams county has been raising
corn for only three years. the records
are considered very satisfactory. The
yields secured by every farmer in the
contest were sufficiently large to give
good profit. The largest yields of
the first prize winners were secured
from corn raised on land previously
devoted to alfalfa.

test. r. A. Rieder Of Williston won the
first prize of $50 for the best acre. and

The title Of the case is Akieita-
mania against Waukawauyakayi,
Wankohdwasti. Tankawanna, Marpy-
ohda. Makota. Canhdiskamaza and

members Of the Now Grass dancing
organization. It appears that in 1902
the Indians Of a section Of the reser-
vatton banded together and erected
dance hall, on land owned by the
plaintiff in the present action. To
perpetuate the war dance of the days
when the Indian was king of all he
surveyed, the Indians Of the middle

wierd time Of the tom-toms. and the
occasional "ki-yi" Of the braves,
garbed in full regalia. very frequently

Akietemania became weary Of the
racket and greatly annoyed by the
social functions. This became evil

that the New Grass dancers reached
the conclusion that 1t was time to

the dance hall to other land that
aroused Akietamani to action-said

The matter was heard on its merits
