TO KILL LOG-EATING GOATS
Lumber Company Orders Herd Exc
cuted When II Gets Entirely
Too Ravenous.

Goats are perfect marvels in clear
ing forest lands for cultivation. They
eat the brush down to the roots, take
the slash" from lumber operations for
dessert, and prepare the forest for ag-
riculture in a way that no man can
do except at great expense, says the
Minneapolis Journal. In northern Min
nesota the homesteader or settler who
has a herd of goats Is the envy of all
his neighbors. But when the goats
begin to eat sawlogs their usefulness
has passed; they become menace to
society. This is the danger that con-
fronts northern Minnesota unless
proper precautions are taken.
In semiofficial report to w. T. Cox
state forester, a district ranger tells
and interesting experience. Finding
that II was somewhat expensive to
burn the slash" and to carry out the
orders for forest fire prevention the
company decided to obtain band OF
goats to do the work.
The goats did well. They ate all the
brush. all the slash, the grass and
the shrubbery. The lumber company
was pleased.
But when the grass and shrubbery.
brush and slash we're exhausted the
goats tackled the pulpwood and the
logs. Directors Of the company de-
creed that. the goats be slaughtered.
This will teach lumber companies
not TO cut their timber too small. was

Nashville.
Jady Harris, convict at the state
penitentiary, was shot and instantly
killed by Joe Cope, guard, after Har-
ris had shot and fatally wounded Mel.
son Pack and badly wounded Emmett
Barrett, two other prisoners. Pack
died and Barrett is confined at the
prison hospital with bullet wound In
his thigh.
The shooting took place in the east
wing Of the prison. Harris, It seems.
had an old grudge against Pack and
had engaged in several heated quar-.
rels with him. Both men we're regard.
ed as desperate characters.
Shortly before o'clock on the night
of May IA Harris went to the office
of Guard J. N. Wilcox and complained
of being i'll, asked for dose OF medi-
cine, When Guard WILCOX turned his
back to get the medicine, the convict
quickly grabbed his revolver from his
hip pocket and ran out into the wing
where Pack was talking with several
other prisoners. Without saying a
word, he opened fire and Pack fell to
the floor with two bullet wounds in
his abdomen and another In his side
Harris then proceeded TO one end OF
the wing, where he was overtaken by
John Mallory, another prisoner. The
two clinched and desperate encoun.
ter followed Harris finally released
the other mans hold on him and step
ped back far enough to fire the only
remaining shot at Mallory, which miss.
ed Mallory and struck Barrett. The
latter had taken no part In the affray
Guard Joe Cope was on the other
side Of the wing when the shots were
fired. He went quickly and joined In
the pursuit Of Harris. They came to.
gether near the spot where Pack was
shot down, and Cope fired when the
desperate prisoner failed to obey his
command to drop the pistol. The bull.
let took effect an inch back OF the left
ear. Harris dropped to the floor and
died instantly
Harris was sent to the institution
from Ashland City in February of 1912,
following his conviction of a charge
Of murder In the second degree The
