Youth is Released After
Killing His Stepfather

r. II. Utley, aged so, resident of
Union township near the Missouri line,
was shot and killed last Wednesday
afternoon by his step-son, Teddy
Ament, aged 81.
The trouble started some time ago
with family disputes. Utley came to
this county about four years ago from
Kansas City and married Mrs. Ament,
who is a native of this county. Evi-
dence after the shooting brought out
the fact that there had been a number
of violent quarrels and that on several
occasions Utley had made threats to
the effect that he would kill the whole
bunch, pile up the bodies and burn
them.
The trouble which eliminated in the
shooting started over the correction,
by Mrs. Utley, of their 3-year old child.
Utley became violent and reached for
a shotgun, which was hanging on the
wall. Young Ament, who was evident
ly expecting trouble, pulled a pistol
from his pocket and started firing as
Utly was drawing the shotgun to his
shoulder Three shots entered Utley's
body. The wounded man dropped his
gun, walked through the house and
about 30 yards down lane before he
fell. He was dead when they reached
him.
Ament Immediately went to the home
of an uncle, named Lindsey, and with
two neighbors came to POcahontas and
surrendered to Deputy Sheriff Perrin.
The party, accompanied by Mr.. Perrin,
Constable Taylor, Attorneys SchoOn-
over and Jackson, and Misses Cecilia
Jansen and Lola Jackson, returned to
the scene of the shooting the next day,
where a coroner's examination, presid-
ed over by o. c. wil1erson, justice of
the peace, was held. The cOrOner's
jury exonerated Ament, holding that
the shooting was justifable in that it
was an act of self defense.

BERNARD GRANT

They went "down the road" to
Joliet.
In a dingy little house, out "back
of the yards" crippled father is
pleading to God that the same sem
tence might be meted out to his boy
"a boy of 20.
He is BARLEY Grant, whose son,
Bernard, is awaiting execution for
holdup.
"If they got off, why can't my
boy?" he demands.
"The judge says they are too
young to hang. Well, then, why isn't
Bernard too young?
"And l know Bernard is innocent.
He never was bad boy. He never
was arrested before.
"They had millions of dollars to
fight their case. We didn't have a
cent. And we haven't it now, either.
at looks as if, after all, there are
two sets of Iaws--one for the rich
and one for the poor.
''But a lot of people tell me now
they're not going to stand to see my
son hanged, when those two rich
boys got off with life"
Grant was forced to quit school
at IA to help support his family.
That was after his father had lost
both legs in railroad accident.
An array Of high-priced alienists
testified in Leopold and Loeb's be-
half. Not one testified for Grant.
Leopold and Loeb pleaded guilty
and not life.
Grant stood trial and was con-
victed by jury solely on the
strength of accusations made in the
confession of Walter Krauser, joint
ly accused with him.
Leopold and Loeb were too young
to hang! Grant isn't.

ed by Republican leaders as signify

duce the supreme court to the status
of legislative committee" and de-
clared himself strongly opposed to
the extension Of the present system

platform. He also gave detailed
analysis of the problems confronting
the state mill and elevator, and de-

"Weather Superstitions''
Common at This Time OF
Year Don't Receive Much
Weight From Experts of
Weather Bureau - Equi-
nOctial Storm Is Declared a
Myth

This is the season for an outburst
of weather superstitions."
With the point of full moon passed
safely, many citizens believe that a
killing frost won't visit this part of
the state for perhaps two or three
weeks, which would be of inestima-
bic value to corn growers. However,
the weather bureau doesn't see it
that way. The average date Of a
and anything may happen after that
date, according to o. w. Roberts,
weather observer.
The equinoctial storm is another
of the weather superstitions," in the
opinion of the experts, whose busi-
ness it is to study the weather. The
autumnal equinoX-that is, the time
when the suns center, in crossing the
equator, comedies with either Of the
equinoctial points-will come Sep
tember 21 or %, and fVl will be Of
ficially ushered it. There may =
may not be storm then, according
to weather bureau officials, but if
there is, it is not because of the
suns action.
Unsettled was the forecast today,
with possibility of a light storm, or
unsettled weather and rain, tonight
or tomorrow. The Indian Summer
season, however, ought to be WITH US
now.
What Bureau Says
Regarding the weather super sti-
tions," o. w. Roberts, weather OBJ
server, said today:
among the various "weatner su-
perstitions" one Of the most common
is the belief in equinoctial storms, if
storm occurs within three or four
days of the time Of occurrence Of
the vernal or autumnal equinox, this
is usually considered a verification
of the equinoctial theory. When one
takes into consideration the fact
that during September of each year
there is an average Of six rainy days,
there should be, and generally is, a
storm on or about September 2l-22,
just as there is usually one about
Sept. 18th. In fact there are more
than twice as many storms during
the period Sept. 6-11th as during the
period Sept. 22-27th, or during Sept.
20-25th. One reason for this belief
is that rains occurring late in Septem-
ber are noticed more closely because
of the lower temperature under
which they are produced. In fact
the first cold rains occur late in
September, due to the fact that tenn
peratures near the freezing point are
unusual until after September 10th
(the average date Of first killing
frost). The dates of most frequent
precipitation during the month Of
September are between the 9Th and
11th. During October the average
number of days with precipitation is
less than in September.
"It, therefore, stands to reason
that during the last days of Septem-
ber and during the first half of Oct
ober we should, and do generally. ex-
perience season Of mild tempera-
ture with absence of precipitation
which we commonly call Indian
Summer

SOME ASSERT
CHICKENS FEW
Several Parties of Hunters
Fail to Find 'em

Are the prairie chickens plentiful ?
Well, there's some argument on
this point. The hunters that have
gone out and brought back the limit
say they are, but the hunters who
didn't have such good luck are GER
tain that they are scarce.
The majority of reports are, how
ever, that the prairie chickens are
not to be found at many accustomed
haunts. One hunter declared they
were plentiful east Of the Missouri
but scarce west of the Missouri,
saying that hail, rain and cold wea-
ther combined to keep down the 1924
crop by destroying eggs and small
chickens. One hunter said he had
run into great many small chick
ems. explaining this by saving the
first Matching had failed to live and
the small chickens were from a Sec
ond Matching.
Three or four groups of hunters,
however, have come in with the full
limit of chickens and said they
could have got more.
The state game and fish commits
sioner insists that there is a good
crop Of prairie chickens. Ducks
seem to be plentiful.

POOLE HIRED
TO EXA MINE
CITY FINANCES
Taxpayers Seek to Make Con-
structive Suggestions on
Cutting of City Budget

Several taxpayers of Bismarck
seeking to give the people accurate
data relative to the finances of Bis
marck with a view to offering con-
structive suggestions to the city
commission in formulating the next
budget have employed Thomas Poole,
local certified accountant, to make
an analysis of public expenditures.
Vouchers will be examined and q
financial statement prepared show
ing in detail just where the money
is being spent, who is getting it and
where, if possible, retrenchments can
be made without serious impairment
of public service.
Mr.. Poole expects to begin his in
vestigation of city finances tomor-
row.
The results of these examinations
after they have been gone over by
taxpayers of Bismarck will be made
public as a guide both to the people
of Bismarck and their representa-
tives on the city commission.
It has also been suggested by the
taxpayers that the city auditor pre-
pare complete statement of the
city's finances for early publication.
