NO INSURANCE
MAY Be PA|l

Darlington. N. D., June 1.-Will
the Shiflet estate, to which Eddie
Shiflet is the sole heir, be paid the
$4,000 life insurance carried by
Joe W. Shiflet In the Homesteaders'
LODGE. with headquarters ts.-Dees
Moines, lowe Representatives OF
the company arrived here Tuesday
to investigate. -.
Complications arise as follows:
The beneficiary of the insurance,
Anfield Shifiet, is supposed to have
killed his father. the insured. IT
Anfield was sane, the insurance po~
icy is voided,s according to its con-
ditions. :,
If Anfeld was insane, the COM
: spany says it is obligated to pay
over the money, but as he, the sole
beneficiary named in the policy is
now dead, the company may take
the position that it is under no OBJ
legation to pay the $4,000 called
for by the policy. Shortly after
the death of Mrs. Shiflet two years
ago the policy was made over in
favor of Anfeld Shiflet, the son.
Eddie Shi1et has been appointed
special administrator of the ]. w.
Shiflet estate. He will continue as
such for 80 days, when he will sub.
NIT his report to J.. A. Graham,
judge of the county court. 1t is
probable that at this time Bert
Straley will be appointed joint ad-
ministrator with Eddie.
The hearings before the coroner's
jury started last Thursday after
noon and continued until about IL
D. M, the evening session being
held to accommodate the ne'ghbor
farmers who were busy in the fields
during the day time. A jury con-
sisting of R. d. Lemert, T. N. Put
man and A. E. Ireland was empan-
elled to hear the evidence. The
jury has not yet rendered its YER
dict. Several pieces of badly char
red bone found in the ashes Of the
straw stack have been sent to the
state university for examination as
to whether or not they are from a
human skeleton. 1t was the Opin-
ion of all the witnesses that the
j, father had been murdered and
{ burned by his son Anfield. Small
pieces of clothing were also found
in the straw stack and the elder
Shiflet's jack knife was identified.
The handle Of the knife was burn
ed off, but there was SO little rust
that the knife could not have been
j out in the weather all winter. r.

around in the hole, but was unable
to locate second old one and had
concluded to get a spade and dig
for young ones. While standing
near the opening Of the den and
rather undecided as to what to do.
an old one jumped out and knock
ed him down and escaped. Larson
was then sure that there ware
young ones in the den. so got a
spade and was rewarded by finding
FIVE young wolf puppies.

EUROPEAN LARCH

The European Larch is very
hardy deciduous confer. It grows
rapidly forming compact. pyram-
idal growth. The leaves are beau
tiful and fresh looking throughout
the entire growing season. turning
to o yellow shade before they drop
in autumn. The wood is hard and
durable. 1t is believed that larch
wood will outlase oak. The trees
are adapted to close planting in
groves or shelter belts, where II
will produce almost perfectly
straight timbers suitable for posts,
railroad ties or eventually telegraph
poles. The European species Is
superior to the native American
species. 1t Is an excellent tree for
low wet soils. 1t can easily be
grown from seed and can be trans
planted. Because of its beauty
and valuable. timber it should be
planted on every lawn and should
be made a. part OF every timber
plantation.

candidate to succeed himself, y.

meeting will be held here on ~ .
day at which this popular oMS
will speak. Mr.. McCumber is
far the most popular candidate'
farmers for whom he worked and,
fought during his several terms
in the senate. The farmers In
Burke county who have watched
Mr.. McCumber's work while he
held office will he more than PIERS
I'd 10 meet him when he makes his
tour through Burke county next
Monday, and he writes us that he
will be equally glad to meet as
many of the farmers as possible.
An investigation of the senate
records will show that Mr.. MoCum~
ber was the leader IN the fight
against reciprocity with Canada
when that great question was being
considered several years ago at
Washington. He worked day and
night for that measures defeat.
He knew that the @eople he repre-
sented would suffer more than the
people of any other state If the
measure WAS put through as It was
desired by the capitalists Of the
east that it should. He proved to
the members Of the senate that the
measure was unjust. and was in
strumental in changing the opin-
Nf hnr mn
them to vote against the measure.
Most Of the farmers Of Burke coun-
ty watched McCumber's fight in
their interests at that time. and
will forever admire his work.
During the last IL years Mr.. Nc
Cumber has Tough. for a bill pro-
viding for federal .rain inspection
and state owned terminal elevators
when all the capitalists in the east
were against him, and we still find
him fighting for a measure of this
kind. We believe that the senator
has done more for the grain grow
ers Of the northwest and especially
North Dakota than any other man
living, and we do not see how he
can be improved on If the interests
Of North Dakota farmers are to b.
taken into consideration. He has
been in the senate long enough To
acquire large amount OF influence
among the members. is at the pres
ent time on practically all the i'm
portant committees. thereby being
in the very best position to do
his constituents the most good, and
after many years we find him with
the farmers all the time. 1t would
take new man many years to
gain the prestige in the senate that
Mr.. McCumber now has. and we
do not believe the farmers Of the
state will want change when
they have a chance to vote for
man that has worked and fought
for them at every turn of the road
from the time he took his oath of
Office until the present time.
Farmers are especially invited to
attend the meeting to be held here
next Monday afternoon and we are
advised that the senator will be
glad to answer any questions that
they might want to ask In regard
to his work. All who can should
plan on attending the meeting.
