NATIONAL OR STATE
STOCK YARDS CONTROL

Washington, D. c., Jan. 16.-Con-
gresham STEVENSON at the request OF
Ivan Bowen of the Minnesota Rail-
road and Warehouse Commission to-
day submitted to the attorney general
of the United States an argument IN
support of the state contention that
the stock yards act does not take
away from the state the right to con-
.tinue to do the weighing and FEEDING
of the live stock coming into the yards
at South st. Paul. The secretary OF
Agriculture recently turned over this
question to the Department OF y ustlce.
By the application OF. the recently
enacted national legislation for the
control of livestock marketing, federal
control of stock yards supercedes state
control and the Minnesota railroad
and warehouse commission must Quit
control at South st. Paul. The State
of Minnesota maintains very ell
cient system Of supervision of these
yards, particularly as to weighing OF
shipments and extending facilities Tor.
marketing by farmers cooperative
shipping associations and giving TO
these associations all possible encour-
agement. Now the question is whether
the State will relinquish its right to
supervision, either voluntarily or thru
Tsompulsion by the federal authorities.
! The state railroad commission traders
and cooperative farmers organic lions
are fighting to retain state control OF
the stock yards, and intend to carry
the fight even to the supreme court.
As the telegram above indicates, Con-
greesman steenerson is helping to car
~ on the fight for state control.

IRA c. RICHARDSON OF
7. R. FALLS IS CALLED
Was County Attorney Of Marshall Co.
in the Early Days. Later Postmas-
ter and Judge of Probate at Thief
River Falls. ~ 49,.

Ira G. Richardson, former Judge of
Probate Of Pennington county, died at
his home in Thief River Falls on Jan
uary z, 1922, at the age of &C years.
The immediate cause of death was
blood clot on the brain. Three weeks
before his death he suffered a paralytic
stroke and two years previous had
suffered his first stroke that left him
in a greatly enfeebled condition and
compelled his withdrawal from public
life. -
Judge Richardson was born in Le-
banon, N. H., Sept. Fl, 1866, coming
west with his parents ten years later,
the family settling at Viola, near
Rochester, MINI. He attended school
there and at Elgin and graduated from
the Rochester high school. Then he
went to Iowa City, Ia, to study law
and there became a roommate and
classmate Of Senator Frank B. KEEL
logg the two having since then been
steadfast friends.
On March 25, 1885 he married Miss
Ora M. Evans, Of Elgin, and shortly
after moved to Argyle, Marshall coun-
ty, to begin his career. At the cleo
ton held in the fall Of that year, he
was elected county attorney Of Mar
shall county, a position which he held
for two two-year terms. An incident
from his early experience as lawyer
we remember: An ignorant man had
given a chattel mortgage, the instru-
ment being drawn by Richardson. La
ter he charged Richardson with having
changed or made false entries in the
hot nrt "
he had not mortgaged. Richardson was
sued in district court and his friend,
Senator Kellogg, then plain lawyer
in southern Minnesota, came here to
defend him. OF course there was not
a particle Of truth in the accusation,
as Mr.. Kellogg easily proved. Mr..
Richardson was capable official and
an honest and upright man. Losing
office in the political upheavals of
those days, he decided to remove from
Marshall county to the then new town
of Thief River Falls and since then
has played an active part in the up
building of that city and section Of
the state. He was appointed post
master by President Mckinley in 1S9?
and held the Office for 10 years. He
served as judge Of probate Of Re&. Lake.
county before the formation Of Pen
nington and was elected to the same
position in tho. latter county in 1918,
declining to become candidate at the
end of his term. He was also mem
Der Of the first school board of Thief
River Falls, and of the fire depart
ment.
He leaves wife and two sons. The
sons are Wayne Evans Richardson Of
Yakima, Wash, secretary Of the Com
mercial Club, and Glenn Ira Richard
son Of Bronson, Mimi, station agent
for the G. N. 0-.'...
The remains were taken to Elgin to
be inferred besides those of his father
and mother. ......'.
Thus one after another of. the early
pioneers are gathered unto their
fathers after work we'll done.

ALMA WOMAN HAS @

Tuesday, last week, Ben Hapka
went from his home in Wright town
ship to his brother-in-law, Paul Stol-
locks place in Alma to help him do
some butchering that day. Shortly -af-
ter he got there, between II and IL
o'clock, his sister called his attention
to dog going by on the main travel
ed road that runs close to the StOl-
lock home, and remarked that team
must be coming. Looking out the win
dow. they saw q team hitched to a
bob-sleigh some distance down the
road coming at slow trot, but could
observe no one driving. Mr.. Hapka
decided to investigate. He ran out
to the road, followed by Mr.. Stollock
as soon as he had put on his over
shoes. He got there in time to catch
the team, but found no one in the
sleigh. A quarter of a mile or so
back on the road over which the team
had come, they could see what ap-
peared to be a robe or blanket they
supposed had fallen from the sleigh.
driving back they found a woman ~
ing with her face buried in the snow.
Turning her over they found her face
cut and bleeding, but she moaned and
showed signs Of life. She was hurried
to the Stollock home and DR.. Uerad
called from Argyle. Before the doctor
arrived, the woman regain conscious
ness and told what had happened to
her. She said her name was Mrs.
Peter Olson, her home being in Alma
township; that she had started out
alone with the team for Warren to get
the children who are attending school
there, and after getting a short dis
lance past the Stollock place, the lines
came unbuckled and one Of them Tell
from her hands. She tried to stop the
horses by speaking to them and pull
ing on the one rein she held, and In
SO doing the team had been turned
around and were headed toward home.
She then attempted to get out over
the dash to pick up the rein, but mis-
sed her footing and fell beneath the
sleigh. She had nothing on her head
when brought to the house, and when
asked about it, said she had worn 9
cap. Mr.. Hapka went over the road

SEVENTH VICTORY
FOR BR0OKHAVEN
Baseball Team Runs Up String
of Wins-Takes Two From
POnchatoula.

The opening scrimmage of the
Ponchatoula- -Brookhaven series was
added to Brookhaven's list of victor
les Monday evening by a six-three
count. 1t was Stick Williams sec
ond win in local unie, and the Ian
ky lad celebrated by beating out an
infield bunt for a safety-his first
blow Of the season. The contest was
staged on soggy. spongy, slippery,
sobby, saturated, slobby, slushy dia-
mond that prevented anything like
sensational speed or flashy fielding.
The really high spot in the affair
was the comedy calling of the inn
ported umpire. The one redeeming
feature of his gigantic ignorance of
umpiring was that his laughable de-
cisions were scattered promiscuously,
falling first on one team then on the
other.
Williams whitfield ten of the visit
ing batsmen in seven frames, and al
lowed only four bingles. none of them
being for extra bases. Barbour
broke into the game in a blaze Of
glory. getting double. a single and
sacrifice in three attempts.

Dear Uncle John" to all who knew

paper their very great appreciation
and heartfelt thanks to every friend
and neighbor who helped to make
the dreary days pass more pleasant

flowers. He never failed to show his
appreciation of their thoughtfulness.
Being deprived of the privilege of
church worship he always enjoyed
the visits and prayers Of the minis
ters and to them we wish to express
our thanks.
To Bro. Fogartie for the lovely
prayer and sweet words of condo
lence; to the choir for the beautiful.
ly rendered music, to the kind doc

may Gods richest blessings ever a.

To the Voters Of Brookhaven.

AS a supporter of lynne Nixon, !
wish to thank those who cast their
ballots for her yesterday. 1t is said
the women did it. If SO, may God
bless the women.
For the beneflt of those who we're
not loyal to her and that they may
be next Tuesday, I would call their
attention to the care and devotion
these two girls gave their sick moth
er and father, who fingered long and
needed constant care day and night
Their death found the girls with all
property even their home
and they broken down in health from
constant care for their father. They
faced their condition bravely and
have struggled hard to keep above
the water and I truly hope that DR..
Daughtry's memory may be commem-
GRATED by the election Of his daugh-
ter as City Clerk.
1t has been said she Is not compe-
tent--the city contemplating a new
set Of books. Has this question ever
been raised before? And why now
to defeat poor wee woman? The
older ones will remember when she,
under her fathers incumbency. kept
all the books did all the clerical
work and also attended to his insur-
ance business. which was large and
today there is no one more competent
more willing or who will devote her
whole time to the city's interests,
than Jyme Nixon. Vote for her.
Fair Play.

SECOND PoNcHAToULA GAME IS
FARCE-COMEDY.

A barrage Of bingles and blows,
bountifully besprinkled with bunch
es of bases on balls, turned the sec
ond encounter with Ponchatoula in
to riot of runs reaching the round
total of Is. The local sluggers ex-
plain the slaughter very niftily and
satisfyingly. They say they have
been handicapped heretofore by in
competent umpiring that has forced
them to swing at bad balls; but that
with good, impartial umpiring, such
as Delaney dished out Tuesday, they
were enabled to let the bad ones by
and take cut only at the ones real
ly over the plate. 1t sounds as fair
as the weather, and Is probably the
real explanation.
At any rate the local swatters
swung on Layrison's offerings with
monotonous regularity, showering
the outfield with singles, doubles and
triples til the outfelders sent up
prayer for raindrops instead of this
deluge Of baseballs.
Miller was in fine form, and SIM
ply toyed with the visiting team. He
gave up only three measlys bingles,
all of them of the scratchy variety.

Death of Mr.. ]. B. Dunn.

The accustomed place of beloved
inmate of the homes of Messrs. d. R.
and H. L. Hayes became vacant Sum
day evening at about six thirty when
the sweet-spirited gentleman and de-
voted relative, Mr.. John B. Dunn,
fell asleep for the last time on earth.
Mr.. Dunn was a brother of the
Messrs. Hayes mother and for twen-
ty years had made his home with
his nephews, taking the place of the
parent who had died and left the
young sons fatherless. The affection
SO sorely wounded at the death, had
grown and strengthened with the
years until Mr.. Dunn, who was a
bachelor, became a valued part of
the homes that loved him and cher
ished him. Not only the children
there, but those of the neighborhood
loved the gentle, genial gentleman
and grieyed when they knew they
would never see him again.
Mr.. Dunn had been an invalid dur
ing his five years residence in Brook
haven with the Hayes families. He
was a loyal member of the Methodist
church and the ministers of his faith
who visited him in his affliction al
ways found a cordial welcome from
him.

ASK DEATH PENALTY
FOR BUCKINGHAM
Prominent Memphis Man Who is
Said to Have Killed Wife
in Jail at Canton.

Canton, Miss, May 19.-'I will
resist the writ of habeas corpus, and
will demand the death penalty for
Buckingham. I am convinced that
Buckingham shot his wife with MUIR
derous intent while badly intoxica-
ted, and then waited by the side of
the road for her to die"
This statement was made by Dis
trict Attorney John H. Howie, who
added that the physical facts in the
celebrated tragedy are such that no
testimony on earth can refute, and
that the claim of accidental shooting
is absolutely absurd.
The hearing of the habeas corpus
case next Thursday, under which the
prisoner hopes to gain his liberty,
and then get a continuance until
next January, will attract nation
wide attention.
Backed by ample capital, and sup
ported by host of wealthy and in
fuential friends; Buckingham is pre-
pairing to wage an aggressive fight.
He still stoutly contends that the
shooting of his. wife on lonely coun-
try road near Pickens on the night
of May 9Th was purely accidental,
and expresses confidence that his
story will be believed.
Judge Puryear. chief counsel for
Buckingham, has retained Messrs.
Powell & Powell and Hon. Thomas
Ward, three of the ablest members of
the Canton bar, to assist with the
defense.
Relatives of the dead woman, con-
trary to expectations, have not lined
up with the prosecution, although
Buckingham's arrest was demanded
by her brother. On the contrary. the
brothers of Mrs. Buckingham are
now apparently convinced that the
shooting was accidental.

Miss Hargrave Presented Testimo-
niaI for Service.

The choir of the Methodist church,
composed of twenty-four members
presented Miss Hargrave, director, a
handsome cameo pin last Saturday
evening, in acknowledgment of her
diligent service in directing the mu-
sic of the Methodist church during
the months she was a member of the
faculty of Whitworth College.
Miss Hargrave was guest at the
home of Mrs. D. e. Bennett on Satur-
day and it was at the latter's home
the choir members gathered and had
the presentation made by Mr.. w. L.
Finney who assured the able and
popular leader, overwhelmed with
surprise, that the pretty pin was but
faint expression of love and appre-
citation for service done the church.
Cream and cake were served.
The Methodist church with other
friends regret the departure of Miss
Hargrave who has accepted a posit-
ion at Belhaven College for the en-
suing year. Miss Hargrave had de-
veloped an enthusiasm in the choir
