ACCUSED OF MURDER
Deputy Sheriff Brings VIM. Ericsson
from Montana to Belle Fourche.

Belle Fourche, Feb. 17.-Deputy
Sheriff Atwood returned to this city
Sunday with William Ericsson. whom
he arrested about twenty miles north
west of Alzada, Mont, on a charge
of having killed his brother-in-law,
August p. Keskitali, about three
miles last of this city on January IA,
1911.
Keskitali was at the time engaged
in blasting out some stumps of dy-
Mantle. and when found. his right
arm and shoulder, and almost half
his head were blown away. While
some circumstances at the time had
n suspicious look, there was not, APP
parently. enough suspicion TO cause
an Investigation. and 1t was general
ly considered that in thawing out the
dynamite, Keskitali had accidentally
exploded the dangerous substance,
and suffered death by accident.
Ii was known, however, that be-
tween him and his brother-in-law.
William Ericsson. there was a dis
agreement which some regard as a
motive, if he did the deed he is now
charged with, for the crime. Some
weeks ago, il was tipped off to the
authorities that a certain man had
c~onfidentially told a friend that a GER
tain other person had told him that
he had seen William Ericsson shoot
Keskitali. and then go up to where
the man lay. States Attorney Melvin
and Justice c. S. Smyth went to work
on the case, and the warrant was is
sued on an affidavit sworn to by this
as yet unknown witness, stating that
he did see Ericsson shoot and kill
Koskitali, and that the dynamite was
subsequently fired.
The arrest causes considerable
comment here, and is the general
topic here today. Just what the con-
sensus of opinion is cannot yet be
ascertained, but IL the hearing before
Judge Smyth, ii is understood,
should bring out as facts what are
now rumors as to the eye witness,
the weight of opinion might be in
1uenced by 1t.
Ericsson appears to have prepared
for a stubborn fight, and has engaged
Dan 7. McCutchin, an attorney oil
this city, to defend him. There Is a
disposition to await the hearing be-
fore expressing any opinion as to the
probability of guilt.

MAKING SPOILED HAY USEFUL
When Not Too Badly Injured II Can
Be Satcd and Fed to Stock--By
No Means Burn 1t.

There will be much spoiled hay this
season because Of the excessive rains
that have intCrtercd with hay har-
vest. With somc farmers it may be
problem what to do with this spoiled
hay. BY all means do not burn it.
Where it is not so badly spoiled as
to be injurious to stock it can be dried
well, salted and fed. There is much
feeding value in it if stock can be in
duced to eat it, and what is not eaten
can be used as bedding and thus be
made into manure
Rather than burn this hay scatter
1t over the fields that are to be plowed
for corn next spring. In this way the
fertilizing value would not be lost.

EXCEL. AS EGG LAYERS
Guinea Fowls Are Also Superior
as Insect Destroyers.
They Range Lcno Distances From
tiouae During Day in Search OF
Foot, But Come Near House to
Lay-Fiesh Is "Gamey."

.By A. j. LEGG. West Vireinia)
Some people object to the noise
which guineas make and their wild
nature but as summer egg layers
guinea hens arc hard to beat.
we have three guinea hens and a
COCK that have the range of the fields,
and they are the best insect destroy
ers that we have on the farm. o They
have a better reputation with us as
insect destroyers than the thieying
crow which some writer's commend
SO highly for the bugs and worms
they eat, and they also pay hand
some profit in eggs for any grain they
may eat.
The guinea hens speak Of lay an
egg each day, and they have been lay
Ing for nearly three months. They
are likely to keep this up for two
months yet.
we have brood OF young guineas
that are growing nicely-they are a
cross between the pearl and the white
guinea, and arc growing better than
we eyer got either full-blood to do.
l never liked the idea of CROSSING
breeds, but a cross seems to increase
the vitality Of tho guinea.
Some have trouble finding the
guinea nests, but our guineas |havc
never gone far from the house to
make their nests. Sometimes they
lay in the hen nests in the poultry
house.
They range long distances from the
mouse during the day in search Of
food, but come near the house to lay.
Guincas are marketed at from six
to eight months old. Broilers weigh
ing about one pound are in great de-
mand, as their flesh is then tender and
somewhat "gamey." Old birds are
dry, tough and tastclcss. They should
be marketed with the feathers on, tho
same as game. The age OF tguinea
fowl can be told in the same way as
