Game Is Called Oft

1t was too bad to spoil that
nice little game of poker that
NJ. H. Grossman, the supposed,
to-be- photo grapher, was con
Quoting in his room down on
our main business street, in
one of the city's brick blocks.
There is no connection, how
ever, it should in justice BE-
said, between said poker game
and the owner or renter of the
building.
It Was Grossman's affair, and
he had been warned to stop
several times, but believed he
could put it over on the off,
cials. The evidence was secur,
ed by R.G. Henkel, special city
police. and was so convincing g
that the man finally pleaded
guilty to the charge of keeping
a place for gambling, and paid
his fine of $4,000 and costs.
Some sober reflection in the
county bastile altered his mood
considerably. Further develop
ments may be expected most
any time. The above affair
was nipped the last of tie
week--Cando Herald.

The coroner and states at
torney were called, and the
bodies removed to the under
taking rooms.
About a week ago there were
large number of tough look
ing characters hanging about
the city, and it is believed it
was then that the crime was
committed, about the first few
days of the recent raj my
weather.
One body seemed to be that
of a good sized man about five
feet ten inches tall, while the
other was evidently a boy of
sixteen or seventeen. B t h

rather slender in build and the
hair was reddish or sandy.
Each had can of Velvet tobac-

ARM TORN OFF
BY SHOT GUN
CareIessness Of Hunters In Not Re
moving Shells Cause OF Serious
Accident

Taylor, n. d., Oct. g. A
terrible accident occh rred at
the home of Fred Grout twelve
miles northwest of Taylor as a
result of which Miss Frances
Thomas lost her left arm.
The men at the homestead
had been out hunting in the
afternoon and on returning
home through some error the
gun was placed in its usual
place without removing the
shell. Later the hired man
saw some ducks on a pond near
by and asked one of the smaller
boys to bring him the gun.
While attempting to take the
gun from it's usual storage
place, the hammer in some way
got caught and the contents of
the gun discharged, striking
the arm of Miss Francis Thomas
just below the shoulder. The
limb was literally torn to shreds.
Medical aid was summoned at
once and the arm was amput-
ated at the shoulder. Miss
Thomas was employed as a
servant at the Grout home.

DOUBLE MURDER
SOUTH OF RUGBY
Two Bodies With Skulls Crushed In

Rugby, Oct II. Mute evi-
dence of double murder was
found here today when the
bodies of two men, the skull OF
each crushed in as though by a
heavy blow, were found in q
burning straw stack one mile
west of the city.
The faces of both had been
so badly burned that they were
unrecognizable. In the pocket
of one was found purse con

clue to the identity of either.
The bodies were lying face
up in the edge of the straw pile
and just few inches from
their haeds was found a heavy
car coupling pin, the instru.
nent which the murderer used
in committing the awful crime.

indian LANDS
Interest Keen In Opening Of ITO, 600
Acres Of Fort BerthoId Agri-
cultural Lands

Minot, N. d., Oct. 8-A hun
dred and ten thousand acres OF
land on the Ft. Berthold In
dian reservation, which has
been thrown open for settle
ment under the lottery system,
and for which registration will
be made at Ninot, Bismarck
and Plaza, Oct. 18 to 80, will
command a large number of
applicants, as most Of the land
is very good.
While the tract to be thrown
open is comparatively small,
limiting the chances for success
in getting a particularly good
homestead, still inquiries al
ready made here and at the
Bismarck office indicate that
quite general interest is being
taken in the plan.
The lands which lie north and
east of the Missouri river in
Mountrail and Mclean counties
have been classed as agricul-
tural land of the first class,
agricultural lands of the second
class and grazing land, with
prices ranging from So 90 an
acre to So.
The government is retainin 9
the coal rights in these lands,
surface rights only being dis,
posed of. This fact probably
will discourage some from seek
ing the chance to the distribu-
ton. In obtaining these sur
face rights, the entryman must
take up the fand in the same
manner that the full homestead
act provides for.
Ora wing will begin at Minot
on Nov. 4, at which time the
order in which persons may
participate in the filing will be
determined. Entry may be
made after Nov. 1, next year,
on which date the applicants
who desire to take advantage
of their opportunities, must
present themselves at the land
office at Minot. The home.
steads will be of 100 acres each.

N0N-PARTISANS
TO have TICKET
Reported That Equity Organization will
Place Candidates In Field For
State Officers

Fargo, Oct. l1..-The non
partisan league of this state
has had a number of confer
ences in this city during the
last few DAYS relative to the
matter of putting ticket in
the field in the state election
next year. While there has
been little real information
that has leaked out, the indica-
tons are that the league will
decide upon either X. NJ. Pollock
of this city or John NJ. Ander-
son as the gubernatorial candi-
date. The rest of the ticket is
somewhat in the making. But
it is said that a full ticket will
be named.
The league will devote
large amount of it's attention
to the naming of candidates
for the state Legislature. This
work will be pushed in every
county in the state and the
plans are to have men who will
command the votes of the
farmers, irrespective of party
affliliatiOn in the past.
Another feature of the politi-
cal situation which is current
rulnor but uncOntirmed is that
the non partisan league people
will register SO as to be able to
vote in the republican prima-
ries. In this way it is SAID
they hope to be able to get a
large number of their candi-
dates nominated on the republi
can ticket. 1t has even been
suggested that this scheme
might include the candidates
for governor and attorney
general, the two state offices
in which the organization is
particularly interested.

occurred in a rooming house
where the marshal had gone to
arrest two of the men connect
ed with the hold-up. When he
entered the room he ordered
the men to throw up their
hands. One of them did so,
but the other drew his gun and
fired point blank at the officer.
The bullet which was a "a
calibre, struck him fairly in the
pit of the stomach and passed
directly through the body. Al
most simultaneously with the
shooting of the marshal, his
own gun flashed and the bandit
and murderer fell to the floor,
with a bullet wound near the
heart.

Youngsters Must Be Taught to

From Their Mothers. u.

Should the pigs be weaned at sly.

be allowed to run with the sows until
the sOws wean them?
Sows which raise two filters year
had best wean t..eir spring litter at
six or eight weeks Of age. Some farm
ers who keep sows only for one litter
are in favor of early weaving so that
the sows may be dried off rapidly and
fattened.
Ii the pigs are TO be weaned early,
they must be taught to eat grain long
before they are weaned. Two or

HOGS ARE SUBJECT
TO SKIN DISEASES
Liuht- Skinned Animals Are Some.
what More Susceptible to
Mango Than Others.

icy Nj III. REYNOLDS. Minnesota In
pertinent StatiOn.)
ElgEs are subject to a variety of
skin diseases. Two of these. although
quite different, are both known as
snanHe.
Pitch mango is not "a true mango,
hut rather an eczema and affects hogs.
that are not in vigorous health and
when kept in filthy pens and bad sur
Soundings. Light-skinned hogs appear
somewhat more susceptible to this
than others.
The skin is at ,2rst red and perhaps
'swLllen. Small red spots appear and
subsequently change to ,blisters which
dry and form crusts.
Hhe main treatment needed is sim.
PIE cleanliness and the sort of feed
that will make the hog healthy and
Vigorous. 1t usually means a com.
plate change of surroundings and plen.
ty of good food.
ihogs are subject also to true mango
This is caused by "a minute animal
parasite, which burrows into the skin
like the human itcn mite and causes
aevure inflammation land itching. This
forn of mango is especially difficult
to tnaat because of the iburTOwing hab-
it of the parasite.
Mazpge begins somewhere on the
head or neck. and extends slowly back
ward. The hams ARE likely to be af-
iecteh sooner or later. The bristles
fall .0nt and the skin becomes very
thick and wrinkled. Sometimes it ia
taichened to an astonishing extent
Hog mango is peculiar ON account of
the pONaderlike surface of the crust.

TO have constant succession of
sweet corn we plant three varieties.

early in the season as 1t seems safe.

a few weeks Two varieties are planted.
and SO on until about July a. when the,

are torn up with a wheel. hoe. and,

ready for use early in October. and
