Farmers are very busy this
fail yet it will pay them to clean
up the weeds along the lroads,
especially where the mail carrier
has to travel to deliver mail, for
it will not be long until we will
probably have snow, and weeds
cause it to drift. 1t is real nice
on cold windy day, with the
snow flying, to sit in the house
and read the papers but just re-
member the mail carriers who
must bring the mail every day,
rain or shine, in all kinds of
weather and poor roads. Cut
the weeds.

GIRL IS SHOT
AT GROTON
Police Officer Shoots 10 Year
Old Girl.

Chief of Police John Fromell of
Groton shot and seriously wound
ed 10 year old Gladys Newman,
a member of a Halloween party
i'll that city last Saturday night.
According to the story told by w.
II. Newman, father of the girl,
Gladys i'll company with two other
girls and three young men, had
been spending the evening perpe-
t1ating Halloween pranks. 1t
seems that Oliver Dent, one of the
young men OF the party, said that
he had arranged with one of the
special officers OH duty in Groton
that night to have a fake arrest of
the party, thus playing a joke OH
the other two boys, who were R..
N. Cuykendell and Earl Mullen of
this city.
The party was arrested about
midnight by Frommel and special
officers PoelsWick and Case who
proceeded to march them to Jail {.
Miss Newman supposing the whole
affair joke, said that it was get
ting late and that she would have
to go home. When they arrived
at the corner of the street OH which
she lived, young Dent suggested
that they b leak from the party
and run for home. This they pro-
ceeded to do, when Frommel who
apparently not i'll OH the joke, told
them to stop, and they unheeding
it is alleged he drew a revolver and
fired three times at the retreatine
couple. According to the state
ment made by the girls father, the
third shot grazed one of the girl s
legs and penetrated the thigh of
the other to the bone. She stop

told him that he had shot her.

what he had done, told her she

Bad Prairie Fire RACES
Near Big Stone

Big Stone "A smoldering stra w
stack, fonned by high wind
caused the first serious prairie fire
this fall in this ssction. The fire
spread south and east and burned
over a considerable territory de-
spite hard fight by hundreds of
farmers. The flames destroyed
about one thousand tons of hay and
a few stacks of small grain and
flax. 1t also is reported to have
done a great deal of damage to
standing corn.

Horrible Suicide in Edmunds Count.

Ipswich-Tying a rope about his
neck, fastening the other end to a
single tree and then whipping up
his horse so that he was dragged
a mile and half to his death,
Reinhold Reede, a Young farmer
residing on the Phillip Leidholt
farm IA miles southeast of Bowdle
took the most horrible means to
commit suicide on record in this
part of the state.
The coroners jury empaneled to-
day to investigate the case, found
that death was suicidal. Reede
was young man about % years
of age, who came to Edmunds
county a short time ago and about
the middle of September rented the
Leidholt farm. He has a brother.
in-law at Hosmer and brother at
Lowry. But very little is known
of the young man, aud no cause
for his strange and awful crime
can be discovered.
1t appears that about E O'Clock
in the morning, Reede hitched up
team and went into the field to do
some fall blowing. About 1880
he must have quit work and driven
mile and half southwest to a
low place. Here he apparently un-
hitched one of the horses, took
about three feet of rope, fastened
one end around his neck and the
other to the single tree of one of
(, the horses and then lashed the
horse into gallop towards the
barn.
About twenty rods from where
he made his plans for this awful
and unique ending, was found his
cap, and short distance further
his mittens were picked up
The horse dragged the man a
mile and half into the barn or
the Leidholt place where MIR. Leid-
holt found the body about II O
clock while out after eggs for din
ner. The body was still warm but
frightfully mangled and bruised.
1t was on this farm that Chris
Leidholt, son of Phillip Leidholt
shot and killed his brother-in law
George Ruff, year ago.
Leidholt is now serving four years

ECHOS FROM
THE WEST
Maj. c. B. Jackson Write of
Montana.
Bole, Montana.
Oct 81, 1915.
Sisseton Standard:

1t is not my Intentions to in
cumber your valuable columns
with matters pertaining to the
lost west; yet [ presume that
there are some of your readers
who would not object to hear
from this part of Uncle Sans do
main once in a while.
1t is we'll known fact, that |
come out to this part of the
country last January and re-
manned here until May and then
returned to Sisseton, and re-
manned there until the first of
June, then returned to this coun-
try in order to spend the sum-
mer and observe the climate con-
ditions. Last winter proved to
be very mild, and this summer
has been an ideal one for farm
ing purposes, because the yield
of grain per acre has been away
above any | have ever known in
any country, and | will refrain
from giving the yield per acre of
many fields | have come in con-
tact for fear that some people
might think it smelled little
tishy. However, | will say that
a Mr.. Were, living a couple of
miles north of Bole, threshed a
field of fax which yielded thirty
bushels per acre, and many
others | have heard of who get
better than twenty bushels per
acre. The winter wheat crop
was very satisfactory. Oats was
heavy. The question yet to be
solved, what will the future be.
am Of the opinion that the
winter wheat crop will make
good because it has six or seven
months the start of spring grain
for the reason that it gets the
benefit of the moisture during
the winter season, while Sprin q
grain must depend upon the
spring rain.
am not much of an advocate
of wheat production, because
when you get a bumper crop,
you are pretty sure to get a
minimum price, consequently
you are liable to receive about as
much revenue from light crop
as you do for a large crop. | do
not advocate passing up wheat
raising altogether, but | would
give more attention to diversified
farming. The COW, the hen, the
swine, the cattle is the mortgage
litter, or means good fat bank
account. [ am not sure if this
years extremely large yield of
wheat suger for the best Of the
farmers, because they are liable
to go daffy over grain raising and
neglect other industry which
produces greater revenues.
Moreover they may not be
blessed With as favorable sea-
sons in the future as the closing
season has been, and if so, where
will they get off at?
The COW, the hen, the swine
and cattle is a sure money max
ing industrie in this country and
| am safe in saying any country.
| guess it is true that winter
wheat has already made good in
this part of Montana, yei | am
of the opinion that the industries
| have mentioned will make bet
ter with less expense. There
has been train loads after train
loads of fat cattle and sheep
shipped from this station since
| have been here.

ness to a deal where widow
sold eighteen thousand dollars
worth of horses to one man, and

Famous Feats Of Archery.

In the days when the buffalo was
found in vast herds on the western
plains there were Indians who, while
riding at a gallop, could send an ar
row through buffalo's body. Re-
markable as this archery was. It did
not equal that reached by the archers
of ancient times. 1t is Of record that
the MacReas of Gairlock, Scotland.
were such skilled archers that they
could hit a man at the distance Of
500 yards In 1874 the Turkish am
bassador at London shot an arrow In
a field near that capital 415 yards
against the wind. The secretary OF
the ambassador on hearing the ex-
pressions of surprise from the Eng
lish gentlemen present. said the Sui
tan had shot 500 yards. This was the
greatest performance Of modern days.
but a pillar standing on plain near
Constantinople recorded shots rang
ing up to 800 yards. Sir Robert Aims
lie, British ambassador to the Sub
lime Porte, recorded that nj 1898 he
was present when the Sultan shot an
arrow 972 yards.-Washington Star.
