Joined in the festivities. Finally
they came out with kirkpatrick. he
said, to the buggy where he (Kirk-
patrick produced a flask of whiskey
and gave Burke and the two girls a
drink out OF It. This was repeated
several times, the defense claims, un-
Ill at least Burke and the Maggart
girl were intoxicated to the point Of
sickness.
Finally Kirkpatrick again brought
the girls out, the attorney declared
his witnesses will show, and put them
in the buggy, at the same time up
hraiding the Clifford girl for keep
ing company with an Indian and tell
Ing her that he would beat the latter
up. Burke at this time was a little
distance away and had been impor-
tuned by the woman to remain away.
Finally, however, he approached and
told Kirkpatrick to cease his Ian
guage. and putting himself between
that man and the buggy. At the
threatening words and gestures OF
kirkpatrick, according to the defense,
the Indian youth drew his revolver
and, when the farmer approached,
fired 1t at the ground. A scuffle then
ensued, the attorney stated, during
which the revolver was discharged
again twice. Right at that time
Burke did not know Kirkpatrick was
shot, he will say. AS the other men
came to Kirkpatrick's aid. they made
threats to lynch him, thus forcing
Burke TO defend himself by present

ing OF the Indian told by the defense
does not differ materially from that
told by the state
Col. Raley further declared he will
show that Burke has had the repu-
tation Of being one of the best indian
boys on the reservation and had new
er before been drunk.

REPAIR WOODEN BUILDINGS
LENIENCY OF COUNCIL LAST
WEEK STARTS SOMETHING
IN EARNEST.

When the council gave Chris Ran
ley permission to reroof his wooden
building on Cottonwood street which
had been damaged by fire, something
was started. At that time Chairman
Joe Ell Of the fire committee, who
had recommended that the permis-
sion be not granted, was somewhat
"peeved" when he was overridden and
promised that H. N. Sloan, whose Pc
tition to reroof his blacksmith shop
had previously been turned down,
would have another petition in.
He made good on his promise with
a vengeance. Not only did Mr..
Sloan again make application last
evening but two other owners Of
wooden buildings in the fire limits re-
quested similar permission. James
Beck and Oscar Wald asked permis-
sion to reshingle their livery barn on
Cottonwood street and Jay & Jensen
asked like permission to reshingle a
little building they own on the same
street.
The applications were referred TO
the fire COMMITTEES and no report was
made. The city ordinance provides
that no repairs may be made to a
wooden building within the fire linn

ADVICE ON FLOWING CORN
Wet Weather Makes 1t Unsafe to Gull
tivate Deeply.


tivate Deeply.
The wet weather has made it un-
safe to cultivate corn deeply at this
time, says A. G. Army of the Mime
sofa experiment station.
In wet weather when the soil is
saturated with moisture there is a
scarcity of air for the corn roots. Con-
sequently they grow near the surface
Deep cultivation, therefore, after the
corn has obtained a height of six or
seven inches, will destroy the roots,
lessen the moisture supply to plants
and make them more subject to the
effect of dry weather later in the sea.
son. This means loss to the farmer
in any case-sometimes very seri-
Gus loss.
No general rule can be given as to
the depth at which to cultivate, as
conditions vary in different parts OF
the state, and on different parts OF
the farm, or even of the same field
but by examining the root growth in
various parts of his corn acreage a
farmer can determine the depth at
which it is safe to pillow with the
least possible loss to his corn and
can set his cultivator accordingly.
In general, blowing too deep should
be very carefully avoided.

Instead of being abandoned Fort
Smelling is to be virtually recon
structed, according to dispatches re-
ceived at st. Paul from Washington,
which said the plans for reconstruc-
ton of roads and repairs to the build
ings at the fort were outlined to Fred
B. Lynch, Democratic national com
mitteeman from Minnesota, by off,
Gals in the war department.
Mr.. Lynch saw several of the mill
tary authorities and he was told that
the proposition to permit the grazing
of cattle on the reservation had been
set aside.
The present force of caretakers will
be increased and money will be pro-
vided for placing the buildings in
shape so that they can be used for
military purposes when the post is
garrisoned again. Roads will be re-
constructed so that they can be used
by autoists and the parade ground
will be open to the public for baseball
and football playing during the sum-
