On
a. 500 Train

Minot, Sept. "A foul murder was
revealed late yesterday afternoon by
the finding of the body of dead man
near the 500 railroad just this side
of Logan in Ward county. The dis
covery of the body was made by a
train crew of the 500 line, who Motif
ed Coroner Doe and he at once went 10
the scene and after viewing the
grounds and the evidence at hand, had
the body brought to the Rowan under
daking establishment in this city
where it is being prepared for burial.
An inquest will be held on the body
at 9 o'clock tonight when the men,
bers of the train crew which made the
discovery are able to attend.
The dead man is about 81 years of
age and is transient His skull was
cracked and his face was scratched.
His pockets, with the exception of
one in which some memorandum
books were found, were all turned in
side out. He had evidently been roo
bed and murdered and then thrown
from the train. The body lay some

Said He Was a Bold, Bad Man

Minot, Sept. flames Murray, who
declared to the police that he was a
bad man with several murders and
bank robbery to his credit, was led
like lamb to the slaughter by the
police last evening and is now taking
a vacation from his desperate life in
a cell at the police station. The only
thing about Murray that indicates the
desperate character which he claimed
to possess was murderous looking
gun which passed into the possession
of the police without delay.
Murray was engaged In the pastime
of holding up people west of town who
indicated a fear of a gun which he
was fourishing, and making them per
form any such antics and maneuvers
as he chose to require. The police were
notified and he was arrested without
any resistance except from his jaw
The charge against him is carrying
concealed weapons but it is assured
that other charges will be made which
will give the criminal term in the
penitentiary. At any rate he hit the
wrong stride when he tried out his
game in this city.

sponsible bid, considering all the cir
cumstances, and especially the quality
of the material they were to put in
their culverts, and the prompt and
efficient service which the said North
Dakota Metal Culvert Company gives
to the County of Barnes, and the court
finds said facts to be fully sustained
by the record and will not interfere
with the discretion of the board in
awarding said contract.
Ill further find there is no proof
whatsoever Of any fraud of any kind
on the part of any of the defendants
on the awarding of the contract in
question.
The Court further makes and files
the following Conclusions of Law:
That the awarding of the contract
for the furnishing of culverts to the
County Of Barnes for the year 1915 to
the defendant, North Dakota Metal
Culvert Company, was regular and
valid in all respects.
That the terms, Lowest responsible

fined to the lowest bid in price, but
the commissioners, in their discretion,
have the right to consider the relative
value of the goods to be furnished and
the judgment, skill and promptness of
the several bidders; that in the award
ing of the contract for the furnishing
of culverts to the County of Barnes
for the year 1915, the Board of Com

J. A. COFFEY,
Judge of the District Court
This is the first time that the ques-
ton of letting of contracts has been
passed upon in North Dakota. Practi-
cally every other state in the union
has decided the matter just as Judge
Coffey has in this case, and his decis-
ion will therefore become law in this
state.
I The attorneys state that this is one
of the cleanest, clearest cut cases on
record, as there were no side issues to
cloud the main question.

ed by the high weeds in which it had
landed when thrown from the train.
The weeds were smashed down max
ing a path along which the body had
slid, indicating that it had been
thrown from train doing east. The
man had been dead two or three days
when found.
There are no means so far of iden-
tifying the body. One of the peck
cts contained some memorandum
books in which several entries were
made in different languages. One OF
the names which appears in one OF
these books is that Of Ole Berg, While

Five Bad Men Shot Up Train

Jamestown, Sept. deputy Sheriff
Fitzgerald and States Attorney Chase
brought to the jamestown Jail five
bad gunner, arrested at Courtenay.
-Four are charged with assault with a
dangerous weapon and the fifth for
carrying concealed weapons. Each
prisoner carried gun, and three fash
lights were in their possession.
The men tried to hold up a 500
train crew Sunday and fired about
80 shots at the train and crew. The
men tried to get on the train when
the conductor ordered them off. They
said it would be the last effort the
conductor would ever make to keep
them off if he tried to prevent them.
The conductor backed up the train
and then made a dash by the men.
AS the train passed the desperadoes
tried to cut the air hose by shooting
at it and failing poured shots into
the caboose.
Later the men were arrested and
given hearing before Justice Cox
who held them to the district court
for trial. The men were brought here
in irons and closely guarded as they
gave it out that the only way they
could be handled was by keeping
the drop on them.
During the hearing before Justice
Cox it developed that the men
claimed to be committee represent
ing the l. w. W. sent out to protect
harvesters and threshers who are
members of the organization from
attacks of professional holdup men.
It also developed that the committee
claimed to be "after' certain rail-
road brakeman who, it was alleged
by them, had killed one of their num-
Der by putting him off a train some
time ago.

It was found that there was a wider
variation in the precipitation of the fall
and winter, when the moisture should
be stored, than during the grow
ing months Rains in August and
early September invariably produce a
growth of weeds, which usually ex-
haust the valuable moisture supply
The loss of moisture which has pene-
trated to a greater depth than three
inches, after the weeds are dead in
the fall and before growth starts in
the spring, is almost negligible. Either
from land fall plowed or from that COW
cred with stubble, light precipitation
evaporates unless is falls as snow,
which is blown into drifts until a con-
siderable quantity has accumulated.
AS ten inches of light snow are equiv
alent to only one inch of rain, and one
inch of rain penetrates the soil to
depth of six inches, it will be readily
seen that SHOWS of one to two inches
supply a very small amount of mois-
ture, a greater part of which will be
lost by evaporation. Every effort
should be made, therefore, to conserve
the moisture which falls either while
the crop is on the land, or while the
land is lying idle.
Early fall rains will be used by
weeds unless the land is cultivated.
Heavy winter SHOWS may occur, but
they are likely to blow off the fields
unless there is either stubble on an
uneven surface to hold them. The
time and method of cultivation, then,
should be planned to prevent weed
growth and still leave the soil or
stubble in such a condition that it will
hold the maximum snow. However,
the period when labor is available will
also be an important factor in deter
mining the time of blowing. When
labor is scarce, cultivation other than
blowing which will kill weeds, and
can be done rapidly, may be resorted
to. If this cultivation leaves the stub
BILE on the surface or leaves the sur
face rough enough to hold the snow,
it may be of even greater value than
blowing. Disking or listing in the fall

Sunken Submarine Has
Given Up Three Bodies

Honolulu, Sept. 1.-Two more bod
les were found today by the men en-
gagged in clearing the hull of the sub
marine F-4 and one of them is believ-
ed by Lieutenant Kirby B. Crittenden,
member of the naval board of in
quiry, to be the remains of either AL
fred Eddy, who was commander of the
divers, or of the Ensign Timothy A.
Parker.
1t was the discovery of an officers
cap near the remains which were
found in the after part of the bat
terry compartment that led to the be-
lief that one of the bodies was that
of an officer.
The insignia on the cap was gone
and the bodies were so decomposed
that identification was impossible. A
small notebook with much Of it's con-
tents legible was found today but
nothing was found in it to clear the
mystery Of the vessels sinking.
Fresh air has been forced into the
forward compartment of the submar.
inc to facilitate the work there. 1t
has not yet been entered in the search
for bodies of the 81 men who went
down in the vessel March Is in Hon.
olulu bay.
None of the bodies has been identi
fed except that of George T. Ash
croft of Los Angeles, gunner's mate
found yesterday and identified by
dental work.

are the methods most commonly used
Spring Flowing Eliminates Weeds.

The amount of moisture in the
spring is only one of the factors in
producing grain crops. Weeds grow
ing with the crop may use enough
water to decrease the grain yield. 1t
is estimated that one ton of Russian
thistles uses SIS per cent as much wa
ter as it would take to grow a ton of
unthreshed wheat. It was found that
fall blowing at the Akron station is es-
pecially favorable to weeds starting
with the grain. Flowing in the spring,
however, thoroughly eliminates the
weeds, and if done Immediately before
seeding gives the grain crop start
before the weeds commence to grow.
The ideal cultivation would prevent
weed growth in the fall, leave the land
in such condition that It would retain
the maximum snow in the winter and
retard the termination of weed seed
until the crop starts in the spring.
Possibly this may be accomplished
by disking in the fall and blowing in
the spring, or listing in the fall and
bursting the ridges in the spring may
be more practicable. EARLY fall plow.
ing is effective in that it destroys
weeds which use the early fall precip.
itation, but it does not leave the land
in condition to retain the snow in
the winter, and 1t gives the weeds an
opportunity to start before the crop.
!, In deciding the time to polw, the adj

vantages and disadvantages of both
spring blowing and fall blowing must
be taken into consideration. Heavy
rains in August indicate that fall ploW-
ing should be done, as the gain OF
moisture during the winter by the
stubble land probably would not equal
the loss of moisture taken by the
weeds in the fall. If only light rains
occur, however, the moisture in the
soil produced by these rains prob
ably would be more than offset by the
greater quantity of snow held by the
stubble during the winter, and the re-
duction of the weeds in the crop.
Spring blowing would then be better.
The availability of labor in the fall will
influence the amount of blowing done,
but a greater effort should be made to
do the blowing if there is heavy precl'
pitation than if the rainfall is light.
The only advantage in late fall plow'
ing is that the amount of spring labor
in preparing the seed bed is reduced
This advantage, however, may be off
set by reduction in the yield.
In deciding when field should be
plowed, the question Of whether
greater amount of water will be &C
cumulated from snow than will be tax
en- up by weeds is the greatest ques
ton to be decided, and this must be
done by the man on the ground. The
bulletin named above gives the results
of fall and spring blowing on oats and
on wheat stubble through a series Of
years, and the amount of water avail
able in the soil at different dates dur
ing series of years. This bulletin
may be had upon application to the edi
tor in chief of the division of publ
cations, United States department o.
agriculture, Washington, as long as
the supply lasts.
