Will Give Away
A $500. Silo
Thompson Yards Inc, En-
courage Farmers in Corn
Growing.

What is probably one of the
largest prizes ever given for ten
ears of corn will lie given away
by the Thompson Yards. Inc,
This fall. IA 500 Weycrhauser
Si'o will be given to the person
residing in North Dakota or the
northern part of South Dakota
who exhibits the best ten ears of
corn. There are absolutely no
restrictions placed upon the corn
growers by the Thompson Yards.
All that is necessary for the con-
'estant to do is to select the ten
best ears he can find and take
them to the local manager of
Thompson Yards. where they
will be properly labelled and sent
to the contest without any ex-
pense whatever. The siIo will
be erected OH the farm of the
winner This prize, in connec-
tion with other prizes that are
being offered by different inter-
csts in the state certainly should
stimulate interest in corn raising
and ensilage feeding. The Chron-
icle hopes that Golden Valley
corn growers will make selec-
tions and enter samples of their
corn in this contest. We believe
it would be possible for some
Golden Valley farmer TO win this
silo and at the same time the
exhibits will give the country
much valuable advertising.

Geo. Smith Bound
Over to Dist. Court
Trial in Justice Court Lasted
Four Days-Charged with
Murder of Horace
Ball.

After four days of strenuous
grinding in Justice Stoddard's
court, lasting from last Monday
morning until last evening, in
which nine witnesses We're used
and States Attorney c. L. Wal
dron assisted by Attorney De-
Meyer appeared for the state and
Attorney Jones for the defendant,
the Judge bound George Smith
over to the district court on a
charge of numbering Horace
Ball.
Our readers will remember
that Horace Ball met his death
through the explosion of dyna-
mite, or some other explosive as
he was sleeping in his shack just
north of the Farmers Supply
Store, on the morning of July
10Th, or the eve of July 18th. The
coroner's jury returned a verdict
of his having met his death al
the hands of some unknown
party. Immediately after the
tragedy detectives were employed
and the evidence they secured
brought about the arrest of Mr..
Smith and the trial of this week.
Spectators were barred from
the court chambers during the
last two days of the trial in Just
ice court, presumably because ev-
idence of a sensational nature
was being introduced. From the
information we have been able
, secure we believe that th case
in til district court next January
will be of such anture that a
portion of it may be held behind
closed doors.
The Horace Ball murder was
one of the most heinous of crimes
10 secure we believe that the case
authorities have the right man
and are able to serure sufficient
evidence to convict him there IS
no doubt but what he will re.
ceive long sentence. However,
it is not up to Mr.. Smith to prove
himself guiltless, but instead, the
state must prove him guilty, and
if the evidence is largely circum-
stantial, strong as it may be, that
is a hard matter.
On Thursday, October 5, A. j.
Castner will sell at public auc-
tion, on the NE IA of Sec. 8, Twp
1873, Range los, eight miles
south of Beach, all of his persoll-
al property, including his house,
hold goods. The list of articles
and live stock includes a large
number of horses, cattle, hogs,
considerable machinery, house.
hold goods, etc. The sale will
start promptly at 1000 A. NJ. and
a free lunch will be served at
noon as we'll as feed for the
horses. In next weeks issue of
the Chronicle will appear a dis
play ad enumerating the articles
and live stock to be sold and we
ask those of our readers who arc
in the market for essentials of
the farm to peruse it. Those
contemplating holding an auc-
tion should do as Mr.. Castuer
has done, accept the advice Of
their friends who have had PR
vious experience in the auction
sale business and bring their ad .
vertising to the Golden Valley
Chronicle. We guarantee the
circulation and that's what gets
the results.
