aculous yields are not to be expected,
but under ordinary conditions feterita
should at least equal Blackhull kafir
and Dwarf milo. Farmers are ad-
vised to try feterita in comparison
with milo or Blackhull kafir before
planting it extensively. Reports on
the success of the crop as stock
feed and also on its comparative
drought resistance are desired.

The natural law Of human life is,
of course, that in youth man shall
labor and lay by store for his old
age, and when age comes, shall use
what he has laid by, gradually slack
ening his toll and allowing himself
more frank use of his store, taking
care always to leave himself as much
as will suffice for him beyond any
possible length of life. Ruskin.

A tragic accident occurred in the
country twenty-five miles northwest
of Dolores yesterday when Miss Ny
quist, well known young woman of
that section, was shot and probably
fatally injured by 10-year-old lad
by the name of Gregory. She was
spending the day at the Gregory
home. The boy started to play with
gun, which was mot loaded" Sud-
denly the weapon was discharged and
the bullet entered the young lady's
right thigh ploughed its way downward
coming out midway between the hip
and the knee. 1t again glanced down
ward and went into the left knee,
completely shattering bones in both
limbs. Medical aid was summoned
from Dolores but it was feared that
she would not survive until the sur
geon reached her.
Saturday afternoon at o'clock,
Claude Bradley received message
from Sioux City, Ia, conveying the
sad news that his brother John had
dropped dead on the streets of that
city only few minutes before. The
young man left here about six weeks
ago, on his way to st. Paul to visit
relatives. He passed about a month
in Denver before continuing his jour
ney. He had been in Sioux City only
one day and had expected to leave
that evening for the city where he
had planned to tarry for some time,
when he was suddenly stricken with
heart failure and died. For years he
had been afflicted with weak heart
and it is supposed the sudden change
in altitude aggravated the trouble.
In addition to his brother mention
ed above, the deceased is survived by
one sister, Mrs. +. A. Schlaback, and
his aged mother, Mrs. J. c. Bradley.
To the latter the news came as a
terrible shock. The remains will be
brought here for interment 1t is ex-
pected they will come in Wednesday

made as soon as the first heads ma
