Shot-and a Mystery.

Some excitement arose on Main
street early Tuesday morning when
Arthur Hockett, well known young
farmer living in the southeast part
Of the county, was found with bull
let hole in his leg. His story is that
he was walking south on the west
side of the street when hand with
revolver was protrnded from the
stairway of the Blackburn & Firmin
building and he heard a voice say
"Tm going to shoot you;" that he
struck the gun down so that the bull
let entered his leg instead of his right
side as aimed. Further than that he
gives no clue and says he did not see
the party. The bullet entered the
fleshy part of the right leg below the
knee, on the inner side; and passed
through, stopping just inside the
skin on the outer side: it appeared to
be rs caliber steel jacketed bullet
and was mushroomed considerably
probably from striking bone. No one
else appears to have heard the
shot fired, the time being about sun.
rise and no one was near on the
street. Hockett had spent part OF
the early morning at the Hugotor
hotel and was taken there for sur.
gical attention and still remains
there and the wound seems to be
mending all right. The officers were
soon on the scene but have found nc
definite clue as to who fired the shot
1t is reported that Hockett was
carrying a rs caliber automatic PTS
toll at the time of the shooting.-Hug.

STABILITY
OF RELEASE
AT ISSUE
Application for Re-Hearing
Involves Setting Aside
Of Claim Settlement.

In an effort to reverse the supreme
court ruling. recently made. that per-
mits the reopening of damage claim
in which full release has been filed,
Atty. E. T. Conmy. of Fargo. argued
before the supreme court, at Bismarck,
the motion for rehearing in the case
of Jennie Clark VS.. the Northern Paci-
f1c railroad. The action arose in Stark
county.
The plaintiff settled with a claim
agent of the Northern Pacific for 800
for injuries received in an accident
and gave written release to the rail-
road. Later. she filed action in the
district court. claiming that at the
time the settlement was made, she
wasn't aware of other injuries she
claims to have sustained. No fraud
was shown. and the district court, aft
er denying a motion for dismissal,
tried the cast and a $3.50 verdict was
returned by the jury.
The supreme court refused to dis
turb that verdict. holding that the
written release had been given under a
mistake as to the actual extent OF the
injuries received. and that she had the
right to reopen the question.
For the defendant railroad it was
contended that a release is just as
sacred as a mortgage. or deed. or any
similar instrument. and that it Is find
ing as against the party who may have
made a mistake in the settlement Of a
claim such as is involved.

Don't take the top sheet" is the
order issued by large insurance
company to it's employees in taking
stationery from the stock room. The
reason is, the top sheet is soiled and
dusty and must be thrown away, only
to leave another top sheet to become
soiled and vested. Over the electrid
button in large hotel is the request:
I'VE would appreciate the favor If
you will turn out the light when
leaving the ROOM" Some hotels furn-
ish large cake of soap for each room
daily whether the guest changes or
not, while other hotels furnish a small
cake just large enough for q days
use. The cake that is used but once
is nearly as large as before use. So
it is put into a large kettle with many
others and heated to kill all germs,
when new cakes are made and freshly
wrapped. If every employe in large
office wasted but one sheet OF paper
a day, and every guest burns hours
of needless light, the yearly cost is
enormous. Success in business, sue
cess in life, is matter of applying
thrift principles to little things. We
forget too often that dimes make
dollars. And as waste counts up fast,
so, money saved grows.

two things. Those industries which
compelled to increase their working
staff by one-sixth, so that one-seventh
OF the total force could rest in turn

since employing a larger force will in-

not necessarily continuous would be
powerfully induced to close on Sun

be more effectually protected than at

4 Parsley is used chiefly to garnish
| meat dishes and to flavor soups. The
seed is sown either thiclxly in a drill
or broadcast, in the autumn or early
spring. A square yard of space will
be sufficient for all the parsley that
the average family is likely to desire.
Spinach, however. is perhaps the
most favorite crop grown for green's.
and every home gardener should plant
It. Around Norfolk Virginia, and to
the south Of it large areas are cut at
any time through the winter when the
fields are not frozen or covered with
snow. North Of the latitude of Nor
folk spinach can be planted in the
autumn and carried over the winter
by mulching with straw or leaves. The
seed should be sown in drills one foot
apart, at the rate Of one ounce to a
hundred feet of row, or 10 to IL pounds
per acre. rich loan is required for
success.
There is, perhaps, no other garden
crop which gives as much satisfaction
as spinach. Ordinarily 1t occupies the
land during the autumn and winter
and does not interfere, therefore, with
the production Of summer vegetables.
Three or four ounces OF seed planted in
the autumn after the summer crop
has been harvested will produce an
abundance of greens for the average
family during the late autumn and
early spring. In gathering spinach the
entire plant is removed instead of
merely cutting off the leaves. BY se-
lecting thu larger plants first, the
sma Her or later ones are given room

with the necessity of thinning.

Timely Hints for the Home Gardener
Especial Crops For the Home earden.)

| Washington, ID, c., March 21.-The
home gardener will usually find it ad-
vantageous to grow small quantities
of certain specialties which will add to
the attractiveness of the family fare,
and which few housewives will trouble
to buy. Among these may be men
toned akra or gumbo.
The young pods of this plant are the
part used. These are employed prin-
cipally in soups to which they impart
pleasant flavor and a sticky con-
sistency. The best pods are grown on
young plants, but If the pods are re-
moved before they are allowed to ripen
the plants will continue to produce
them until killed by frost.
The seeds of okra should be sown
in the open after the ground has be-
come quite warm, or the plants may be
started in berry boxes in the hotbed
and transplanted in the garden after
all danger of frost has passed. The
rows should be four feet apart for the
dwarf sorts. and Ave feet apart for the
tall kinds. with the plants two feet
apart in the row. Detailed informa-
ton on this plant is contained in
Farmers Bulletin 232. "Okra: Its Gull
ture and Uses"
Mustard greens may be produced on
almost any good SOIL The basal leaves
are used for greens and are cooked
like spinach. The plants require but
a short time to reach the proper stage
for use and frequent sowing should be
made, therefore. The seeds are sowed
thickly in drills as early as possible
in spring or for late use in Septem-
Der or October. Ostrich plume is
reliable variety.
