Indian farmer, was destroyed by fire
yesterday afternoon at Spring Hollow

Just as the ponderous machine was
about righted, one Of the dead men

was started and though the wires had
been detached from the spark plugs,
an electric spark set fire to the dis

away. Motanic narrowly escaped be-

Forty or so sacks of grain were de-

that 40 acres of standing grain was
saved.
The machine was a new one and

loaded gun and forced him to surren-
der second time. He then tied
Baldwin's hands with a rope, having
overlooked taking handouts when
he left the office hastily to investi-
gate the robbery. Frum's gameness
in the capture was commended by
Baldwin himself when he talked to
Sheriff Bodine after he had been
identified.

The composition of the dry sub
stance of beet tops somewhat resem
bles that of alfalfa hay, although it
may not have the same food value.
The yield of green tops of a normal
field may be assumed to average
about rs per cent of the weight OF
beets This will be higher with i'm
mature beets and beets in vigorous
growing condition and lower with
fields of lower fertility.
The yield of tops as dry as they
can be prepared in the field and which
you can haul off field will be 10 to
Is per cent of the weight of beets
harvested.
If alfalfa hay is worth $500 the
ton, the dry beet tops of a normal
acre of beets. certainly yielding more
than a ton, are worth at least as
much.
The value of beet tops should be
calculated in the returns from an
acre of beets.

WHY HIS SPUDE SELL

Chas. Allen. a potato grower in
the district of Rahma. was in town
last week with load of potatoes. He
states that he has no trouble in SELL
ing his crop and gets good prices.
Someone who knows something of po-
tatoes Mr.. Allen raises remarked
that he grew such fine ones that ma
turally they would sell, but Mr.. Allen
had a different version of the case.
He stated that he did not necessarily
grow any larger potatoes than other
farmers but he always sorted them
and did not offer the culls for
sale. He gets a sufficiently larger
price to justify holding out the culls.
Mr.. Allen is planning to move near
Ordway for the winter so his child
rem may attend school.

American GunnerS Meet First Defeat when Encounter Sub

SHIP ABANDONED AFIRE
Submarine Commander Is Most Courteous to His Vanquished Foes and
 Comment Is Made.

WASHINGTON, June 16. (By mail )-American naval gunners have met their first defeat in open fight with German submarine. Official dispatches announce the destruction of the tank steamship Moreni, aban- doned ablaze June 12 by her crew and armed guard after q desperate running fight in the war zone which cost the lives of four of her crew.
 Half an hour after the tanker had been sent to the bottom, her forty three survivors, including all of the members of the armed guard, were picked up with their life boats by a passing steamer. The German com mander had set them adrift after congratulating the American skipper upon his game fight and having the wounded men treated by the submar. ines surgeon.
 The submarine began firing at a range of 5000 yards, four nautical miles, when she was hardly visible to the steamer without glasses. Pre-
