Would Assist johnson

B. w. Shaw, the Alandan attor-
ney, who has been retained by some
Selfridge parties to assist the state
in the prosecution of the parties in
volved in the recent knife affray,
was there Wednesday. The case OF
Sam Hummel was set for hearing
Wednesday and when Shaw arrived
neither the states attorney, sheriff,
judge or defendent appeared. He
came over here to learn the trouble
and found out it was due to the
absence of States Attorney john
son, who left couple of weeks ago
to celebrate the Fourth and has not
returned. After a conference be-
tween the parties interested and the
court, the case was adjourned until
July 28th. In the meantime no
one seems to know by what author
ity Shaw is assuming the duties Of
the states attorney, but johnson
will probably tell him where he
gets in or off at when the trials are
finally held.

Killed By His Wife
"Big Jack" Clanton, Former Cowpun.
cher, Killed on South Dakota Ranch
BY His Wife Saturday

Jack Clanton, a rancher in Cor
son county,. South Dakota, living
80 miles southeast of Mcintosh,
was shot and killed by his wife Sat-
urday morning following quarrel.
The reports are that C]anton was
drunk and wanted his wife to go
for an automobile ride with him.
She refused to go and started to run
away. He followed and she shot
to protect herself from a beating he
was in the habit Of giving her when
he was drunk.
The woman, who is daughter
of Chris Neumiller of Mcintosh,
was placed under arrest, and what
action the authorities will take is
not known. The opinion is that the
coroners jury will find the killing to
be case of justifable homicide.
The only eye witness to the trage-
dy is a small boy, whom it is
said hid under the creek bank when
Clanton started for the woman.
Clanton was better know through
this section as big jack" He
worked for many years for the Zim-
norman cattle outfit when they
controlled the reservation range. He
was peaceable and industrious when
sober, and was good cow-hand of
the old type.

Most Sioux County
Homesteads Gone
Sioux County Homesteads Going Fast
Since New Additional Homestead
Law Went Into Effect

Additional homestead entries
under the recent act of Congress
which became law last week, are now
accepted for lands within the Stand
ing Rock reservation at the Bismarck
U. s. Land Office to which district all
of Sioux county is attached.
During the past two weeks the
country has been over-run with
hmcseekers entitled to additional
homesteads, and but few good home-
steads remain. All the land subject
to entry in Ranges SO and 81, south
and east of Shields has been taken
up. The same is the case with the
vacant land tributary to Selfridge.
All the choice claims in Township
129, Ranges 80 and 81 are also gone.
This is south Of Fort Yates and the
filings have been made mostly by
parties who have proved up Emmons
county homesteads.
About the only vacant homestcads
left in Sioux county are in the Pamp-
lin Hills and Barren Butte vicinity
eight to ten miles west of Fort Yates.
There are some desirable claims,
however, but it is not likely that any
land will be left worth filing on by
the last Of thq month. Additional
homesteads are allowed settlers who
have filed or made proof on lands
within 20 miles of second entry.
The rapid influx Of new home
steaders together with settlers who
have bought Indian land will un-
doubtedly double the white popula-
ton Of Sioux county within a year.

Local Happenings

J.. A. Stiles is in receipt of a let
ter from C. F. Wilcox of Hensler,
who has operated a ferry at Wash
burn for four years. He wants to
know what the prospects would be
for installing a ferry boat at Fort
Yates, and will likely be down here
to look the situation over in few
days.
Jesse Payne came from over the
river in Emmons county the first Of
the week, and says that crops over
there where they were put in on
plowed ground are looking very fine.
The fields where the grain was put
in the stubble are poor, however,
and many Of the farmers are plow-
ing the grain under.
N. E. Shobe Of Solen, and NJ. P.
Kaiser of Braddock, were in Fort
Yates the first of the week after a
trip through the country southwest

Martin Swift came over from
Selfridge Tuesday to attend the
meeting of the school board for this
district of which he is one of the
directors. He said that he had Just
finished the first cutting Of 30 acres
of alfalfa from which he got about
IS tons of good hay. He will let
the second crop go to seed.
Stock Inspector Wright is back
from the Cheyenne reservation
where he was called last week to in
spect some government bulls, over
which there was a dispute between
the superintendent and contractor.
Mr.. Wright is considered one of the
best stock men in the country in the
Indian service, and his judgment
has much weight with the Depart
ment.
D. j. Hallahan, the Shields
rancher, believes in both prepared
ness and patriotism. He is an ex-
soldier who saw active service in the
Indian campaigns, and as he can
not 20 to the Mexican war himself
on account of having passed the age
limit for active service, has done
the next best thing by sending his
favorite saddle horse which he pre-
sented to Major Hanley of the
North Dakota regiment. The
animal he gave Major Hanley is
one of the finest saddle horses in the
state, for which he has refused
many offers some ranging as high
as 500.

SNAIL A VALUABLE FOOD
Edible and Nutritious, is the Verdict
That Has Been Arrived At by
Those Who Know.

"All snails are edible aud nutri-
tious," says Canon Horsley in book
on British land and fresh water mol
luscs, Just published. He goes on to
say that even the common or garden
snail, though insipid, is as nourishing
as calf's-foot jelly.
There is large white shelled snail
called Helix pomatia that is commonly
eaten by connoisseurs in the south of
England, while all over France, Italy
and Spain several species are used as
food. In France there are many snail
farms, which yield a good profit to
their owners. In the French and Ita-
liam quarters of New York snails may
be bought, either alive pr cooked, and
at most of the French Restaurants
they are served. "escargots farcis" be-
ing the most usual form of the dish.
Snails are easy to raise in large
quantities. They need lime for max
ing their shells, but they do not have
to be fed, as they can find their own
food, which is exclusively the leaves
of many plants. They are most deli
cious when properly prepared and
cooked and. as Canon Horsley says,
as nourishing as calf's-foot jelly.

In this way they catch and are filed
with the sediment brought by the tor

Then sticks and other obstacles lodge
against them and soon the gully is in
shape to hold all obstacles and much
soil, too, and in a short time is COM

WAYS OF HANDLING MANURE
Value Of Fertilizer Depends Largely
on Composition Of Foods Fed
TO Farm Animals.

The value OF manure depends upon
the composition of the foods fed. Cow
manure is cold and contains consider
ably more water than that from any
other class of farm animals. II fer.
ments and heats slowly, and is called
cold manure A COW will void 40 to
so pounds of dung and 20 to 30 pounds
Of urine in a day.
A COW fed a balanced ration will
void about one-half OF the nitrogen in
the urine, which shows the importance
Of preserving the urine; about one
fourth is in the milk and the balance
in the solid excrement.
Horse manure contains less water
than COW manure, and as the horse
has less power to digest forage, the
manure is more fibrous. Horse manure
ferments easily and hence is most val
liable for spreading over meadows,
mixed grasses and wheat.
The best method for hay and grain
farms is to haul and spread the ma
nure direct from the stables; use plenty
of litter for bedding. For vegetables,
haul the manure where it is to be
used and pile it. If the manure is
thrown out in the yard it should be
kept in a concrete vault and the urine
pumped up occasionally and spread
over the solid manure. Manure thrown
out in the open yard and exposed to
heavy rains loses large part of its
most valuable fertilizing elements.
This is a very slovenly and wasteful
method. If this method must be fol-
lowed, have the barn spouted, use
plenty Of litter and keep the manure
IN a compact heap. The urine that
drains from the heap should he col. |
ected and thrown over the pile.

Hioh School of Commerce.

In 1914 the city of Worcester, Mass,
an important business center, estab-
lished a high school of commerce.
When the school opened in Septem-
Der, 1914, 1926 pupils were enrolled,
and in February, 1915, as per cent Of
all the pupils entering the high
schools of the city elected the high
school of commerce. The present en-
rollment of this school is nearly l.
500.
1t is the policy Of the school to offer
courses of studies holding a mutual
ground between the purely cultural
and the strictly vocational, and in
these courses are English, Latin,
French, German and Spanish. There
are, of course, several sciences, and
there are commercial history, civics
and commercial geography, to the lat
ter two years being devoted. There
are also included stcnography, book
keeping, typewriting banking, COM
mercial law, accounting and penman-
ship. A course under consideration
is on craftsmanship, and it is hoped
soon to introduce the teaching of ad'
yertising and window dressing.
