Case Goes to the Jury at Noon We'd
nesday and Defendant Fonnd
Guilty After Four Hours
Deliberation.

A verdict of guilty was returned
by the jury in circuit court for
Iron county, in session al the court
house this week, in the case of
John Talonen, charged with rape.
The jury retired at noon Wednes.
day and about 4 O'Clock returned

aud at noon the jury retired.
This case was the first of the
criminal actions taken up at this
term of court and occupied the at
tention of the court all day Tues.

principal witnesses were Sophie
Talonen, stepdaughter of the de-
PENDANT aud the victim of his mis-
deeds, and Mrs. Talonen, mother
of Sophie and wife ofthe defendant.
The Talonens lived on a farm near
Kimball up until the time com.
plant was made against the de.
PENDANT last August. Following
his preliminary hearing in muuicip.
al court he was bound over for trial
and placed in the county Jail.
Testimony showed that the marital
relations of Mr.. and Mrs. Talonen
were not always pleasant and that
they often quarreled. Talonen
lived with his wife about two years
before they were married, it was
brought out. His improper rela
tons with his stepdaughter were
said to have been going on for two
or three years. Council for de-
Tense in his arguments attempted
to show that conspiracy existed
between the mother and daughter
to get rid of Talonen and get pos.
session of the farm. hence the com.
plant, made by Mrs. Talonen,
followed by Talonen's arrest.
Attorney O'Neil filed an appeal
for new trial and until the Judge
makes a decision on the appeal
Talonen's sentence will be deferred.
Talonen is liable to a term in the
state prison of from one to 80 years,
the penalty for statutory rape.
The case Of Gabriel DaPra,
charged with the murder of his
brother.in-law, big Leo" Laguna,
was taken up Wednesday afternoon
and continued all day Thursday.
In this case father and son are
pitted against each other. At
torney Geo. G. Foster is attorney
for the defendant, while his son,
Warren B. Foster, district attorney,
is conducting the prosecution.
In the case of Peter Radakovich,
charged with murder, an affidavit
of prejudice has been filed against
Judge Risjcrd and the case will
have to be tried before some other
Judge. Whether a Judge will
come here to sit in tbs case or
whether it will be tried in some
other county has not yet been made
known.
As there are number of other
important cases remaining on the
calendar this session of circuit court
will run over into next week.

1t Is of the greatest Importance In
raising pigs for the market that they
gain weight as rapidly as possible.
The first opportunity to force the pigs
comes when they are q few weeks
old. Up to this time they have been
living solely on their dams milk. for
which no perfect substitute has been
found. After about three weeks the
young pigs begin to develop an appe-
lite for some accessory feed to sup
plement the sow's milk, and they
should be given some additional food.
The pigs will eat from the sow's
trough. but 1t Is better that pen or
creep" be arranged adjoining that Of
the SOW, allowing the pigs to have ac-
cess to self-feeder In which shelled
corn alone is fed for a couple Of
weeks and afterwards shorts or wheat
middlings.
Pigs should be castrated while they
are young, preferably when six to eight
weeks old, and before weaving. De-
tailed Information on this subject Is
given In Farmers Bulletin $50. which
mny be had on application to the d.
vision Of Publications. Department Of

Amount Of Exercise VIII Get
the Best Results.

The brood sow needs 4 variety In
her food and exercise. In expert
ments conducted at the North Dakota
Agricultural college under the dIrec-
ton Of Professor Shepperd 1t was
found that sows will readily cat alfalfa
hay, and that when this IL fed with
mixture of about half barley and half
shorts at the rate of IN pounds daily
for a 2OO-pound SOW, splendid results
have been secured. Equal parts Of
barley, oats and bran or shorts also
makes very good feed. Exercise is
also very Important. 1t was found
that the best way to give the grain
feed was to sweep the floor clean and
scatter the grain on 1t. This results
In the sows spending hours on their
feet getting their feed. Observations
Indicate that sows fed a variety Of
foods and given plenty Of exercise are
not likely to produce hairless pigs.
