FALL CAUSES DEATH OF
McCONE COUNTY RANCHER

J. w. struple, pioneer rancher and
stockman of this vicinity was found
dead at his ranch southwest of Frazer
last Friday. He, in company with his
hired man was putting in a crop at the
ranch he recently purchased from his
son-in-law and had been gone from the
place on horseback only few hours
when the hired man found his body in
pasture and his saddle horse grazing
short distance away.
1t is thought that his death was
caused from an attack of heart fail

in such manner as to break his
neck. -.

HOPPERS AND cUTWORMS
ACTIVE IN McCONE

John H. Bawden, chairman OF the
board of county commissioners, came
over from his ranch near Nickwall last
Sunday to attend the monthly meet
ing OF the board which was in session
the forepart of the week.
Mr.. Bawden reports that in his
neighborhood considerable damage
mas already been done to the growing
crops by grasshoppers and cutworms.
The cutworms have already destroy
ed hundreds of acres of wheat, and
the hoppers which are so small that
they are merely able to hop have
also done considerable damage.
Outside of the damage done by
these pests crops are doing fairly well
UP in the north end, although some
rain will be needed soon.
In this section of McCone we have
not heard of any grasshoppers being
at work, but some report damage
done by cutworms.

CRITICAL IN DAWSON

That at present the grasshopper sit

D. w. Mendenhall, county agriculturis
He says the hoppers are Matching
out in myriads in various localities
including Hodges, Belle Prairie, Butler

The board of county commissioner
has investigated the condition and
made an appropriation of $1,000 for
the purpose Of purchasing poison to
combat the pests.
A. L. Strand, assistant entomolog
