farmers have been coming in that
the killing of the wolves is wrong
when rabbits thrive 80 much faster
when the wolves are put out of the
way. 1t is argued that while the
wolves and coyotes make raids on
chicken yards and sometimes take
a young animal that the rabbits have
no mercy on crops and trees and
vines and that after all the rabbit
is the greatest pest.
Numerous discussions have been
held by the board and as yet they
have not decided which Of the two
animals they will let live altho it
seems to be the general opinion
that the rabbit Is the worst pest of
the two and the wolf may be call
ed to the rescue of the Williams
county farmer.
Scott Gore, prominent ranch
man from the southwestern part of
Mckenzie county shot ten grey
wolves last week near his ranch.
He brought the hides to Schafer
and collected the county and state
bounty, amounting to $107. This
is the largest number of grey wolves
killed in this section of the state for
some years. They are rapidly dis
appearing from this section. Coy
otes however are quite numerous.
A trapper brought in IS coyote
hides the other day.

LOCATION OF SILO

The silo should be located with q
view to making it convenient to feed
the silage. If possible the silo
should be at the end of the feeding
alley so that a truck can be run
up TO the silo for filling and then
moved along in front of managers in
distributing the silage. Twelve
COWS fed 40 pounds a day will need
a quarter of ton of silage. 1t is
best to have the silo outside of the
barn but connected to the barn
with an alley way or place it so that
the chute will just reach the barr.
The silo. inside the barn takes up
valuable space and there will be sill
age odor from it. The silo outside
the barn will freeze some but this
can be reduced to a minimum by
having a good roof On the silo and
by taking out the silage right. Agr.

new Law HELPS
FARMERS BORROW

Bismarck, N. D., July 5.-Farm-
ers who borrow money from the
state school fund will hereafter De
relieved of much trouble and en-
barrassment in procuring loans.
The new law which becomes effect
i've July 1st. provides that when a
loan is authorized by the board, the
state auditor shall draw his war;
er of the county in which the loan
is made for the amount of the loan.

and file with the proper officers the
releases necessary to release the
land from all encumbrances and
pay the balance to the person bor-
rowing the money, providing all en-
cumbrances have been paid and the

ed. This will not only relieve the
farmer from making short loans in
order to clear the title of his land
before obtaining the new loan but
will save him also time and money.
Following are some of the i'm
portant laws which become effect
i've on July 1st. Legalizing Sun

ment of $4,000 pensions to the
soldiers who served on the Mexican

NOVEL. CASE TO Be
HEARD At DICKINSON

Dickinson, N. D.. July 5.-The
question of whether a homesteader
through insanity and consequent in
ability to complete his proving up
process shall forfeit rights to
claim upon which he has legally
filed are to be decided in a short
time in the case OF Roccus Deibert,
former resident Of Dickinson,
who in 1910 filed on Dunn coun-
ty claim and in 1911 was adjudged
insane, his insanity believed due to
the solitary life which he was forced
to lead in his homesteader's shack.
Some time after Deibert was
placed under restraint, his entry
was contested by another, who filed
on the claim after securing u can
collation.; of; Deibert's rights.

Stealing trailer at Kindred, the

and there stopped to melt the bell
by kindling a fire under huge pile

The job was evidently a tedious
one for the bell did not melt as

FREED OF
CRIMINAL CHARGE

Minot. N. D., July 5.-Charges OF
assault with dangerous weapon
with intent to kill, made against
Attorney l.. J. Palda, are declared
unfounded by Judge K. e. Leighton
of the district court in his decision
in the habeas corpus proceedings
brought by Mr.. Palda.
The decision, announced today,
dismisses the charge and frees the
defendant Of further liability there
under.
The charges against Mr.. Palda
grew out of the seizure by Attorney
General VIM. LANCER and his depu-
ties of the operating. department of
the Northern States Power COM
pany's telephone Office on the night
of the recent vice raids. At that
time, Mr.. Palda was accused of
drawing a revolver and threatening
the deputy sheriffs. F. G. Upton and
his brother.
Judge Leighton holds that Attor-
ney Palda, as counsel for the North
ern States Power company, was act
ing within his authority in seeking
the removal Of the Upton brothers
from the telephone Office, holding
that they, the Uptons, were tres
passers. being without legal rights
in the premises. That the seizure
of the telephone office was no more
justified than would be entrance
upon and seizure of private dwell
ing, is Judge Leigton's holding.
,udge Leighton further holds,
that under Section 10231. Revised
Codes, the holding up of the deliv-
cry of telephone messages is a fell
ony, and he says further: 1T Is
apparent from the testimony that
these parties who went there and
took possession of such telephones
without any authority, were engag-
ed in the commission of felony;
and anyone has the right to use
force to prevent any one from COM
mitting a felony in their presence;
so that on two grounds, the tele-,
phone company had the right to
use force, and the only, restriction
is that which is given by the sta
tute; that is, that no more force
shall be used than is necessary"
Judge Leighton holds the testi-
mony fails to show that more force
than necessary was displayed; that
it is immaterial whether Mr. Palda
or Mr.. Upton was the first to draw
q gun, 1t appearing from the testi-
mony. that both had displayed fire.
