RANCHER FOUND
DEAD IN CABIN
RECLUSE, LIVING NEAR LUCAS
BELIEVED TO HAVE COMMIT
TED SUICIDE.

Burke, Jan. 18.-John Kendall,
who lived about four miles north of
Lucas, was found dead in his cabin,
with bullet hole in his head and a
rifle lying across his chest, having
evidently committed suicide.
The discovery was made when rel
atives from Trip county came to
visit the old man. They had heard
that he was sick, and they came with
provision and necessary supplies to
make him comfortable during the
winter. When they neared the cabin
they saw that there were no tracks
in the snow about the place, and the
door was locked. Upon looking in
the window they saw the corpse ly-
ing on the bed, whereupon they went
to the barn and turned out the half
starved livestock, and then went TO
E. j. Stinton's place and telephoned
for the sheriff
Mr.. Kendall had been somewhat
demented recently, according to the
testimony of neighbors. There are
several bullet holes in the roof of his
house, made by him in attempting
to slay imaginary marauders. Lying
on chair by the side of the bed was
an open razor. Neighbors state that
he had not been seen for a couple
of days previous to the finding OF the
body. which was frozen stiff. and
had evidently been dead for about "a
hours

WOMEN INVITED
TO FARM PARLEY
WALLACE ANNOUNCES HARDING
AND WIFE WILL MEET DELE
GATES NEXT MONDAY
EVENING.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Twenty
four women have been invited to at
tend the national agricultural con
ference which will convene here mex
Monday Secretary Wallace said to-
day. Six of them, he added, operatt
their own farms and the others are
representatives of the home econo
mics work who are familiar with
farm conditions. Their names vii
be announced later.
He also announced that President
Harding and Mrs. Harding would re-
ceive at the white house the dele
gates and their wives next Monday
evening.
More than half of the delegates
Mr.. Wallace said, will be dirt farm
ers and more than one third of the
remainder, representatives of state
agricultural departments, state agri'
cultural colleges and editors OF farm
papers.
"Thus two-thirds of the personnel
will be strictly of the agricultural
people," he said 1.-The others will
consist of allied agricultural inter.
ests. If the farmers work out ol
their present situation they must
have the help of those dependent on
agricultural.
The greatest value of the confer
ence it was said, would probably be
matters of policy which it is hoped
will be worked out looking towards
the futre of self-sustaining farming
policy. The conference it was de-
clared would be expected to lay dowr
such recommendation for an agri
cultural policy as would held avoid
periods of depression.

HALF MILLION
FROM CAS- TAX
NOW ESTIMATED THAT STATE
REVENUE THIS SOURCE BE
DOUBLE FIRST ESTIMATES.

Pierre. Jan. 18.-That the esti-
mate on revenues to the state from
a tax of one cent gallon on gasoline
used for automobiles in the state was
estimated on a wrong basis so far as
amount of revenue to be derived
from that source is the opinion OF
Deputy State Auditor Drake, based
on the situation as it appears to be
now.
It was estimated that such a tax
would bring revenue of approx
mately $250,000 to the highway
fund of the state, for each year.
But in the estimation of Mr.. Drake
it is likely to go over 100000 for
this year.
Like all new revenue measures,
1t needs "ironing out" to get it to
working smoothly.
The Standard Oil company claims
reduction of two per cent for
shrinkage in tanks on the gas they
ship into the state, the company
estimate on average sales in the state
being that it would be called upon
for 100000 a year, and that to fis
this estimate on shipments 1T would
mean loss of at least two per cent
of that amount when it was sold.
This Is one of he new elements in
the law which will have to be con
sidered. But If the Standard Oh
company estimate is true as to the
amount it would be called upon tt
pay, the 100000 mark would b'
easily reached.
