sc Carloads of Hogs Are
Shipped From Point Since
Last January First
A LSO MANY CATTLE
Especial to The Tribune)

Halliday, N. D., Sept. 12.-The
farmers in the vicinity Of Halliday,
N. D., are strongly infected with
the germ, "Hogites."
Since January first last, SO car
loads of hogs have been shipped
from this point, all having been corn
fed. 1t is thought that during the
next twelve months twice this num-
Der of cars of hogs will be shipped
Among those having good punches
of growing hogs, Charles L. Irons
has probably the biggest bunch of
about three hundred; R. Cole Smith
has about one hundred sixty; John
Stcffen has about one hundred fifty;
Steffen Brothers have about one|
hundred forty; John Selle has about
one hundred twenty; Knut loft has
about one hundred twenty; Oscar
Nordahl has about one hundred !;
Nordahl Brothers have about one
hundred forty; A. Jermunson has
aboul sixty; Alaf Alafsan has about
sixty; Ole Christensen has about
sixty; c. o. Gullin has about six
ty; Daniel Stern has about eighty;
Jacob Ziezler has about sixty and
most other farmers have twenty or
more.
Twenty four carloads of cattle
have been shipped from this point
since January first, four of these
having been finished on, corn. Some
Of this stock topped the market on
the day sold. There will be at least
as many to be shipped during the
coming season.
/. During the month of May, four
thousand five hundred gallons of
cream was shipped from this point,
netting the farmers approximately
three thousand two hundred dollars.
During June, five thousand six hum
dred gallons of cream was shipped,
netting the farmers about three
thousand nine hundred dollars. Dur
ing July, six thousand five hundred
gallons of cream were shipped net
ting about four thousand two hun
dred dollars. During August six
thousand two hundred gallons of
cream we're shipped netting the
farmers about thirty seven hundred
dollars.
Grain buyers of Halliday have
made careful estimate of the cars
needed to handle the present crop
from this point and figure that it
will require three hundred thirty
cars handling a total of over four
hundred thousand bushels, netting
the farmers at present prices ap-
l'proximately three hundred twenty
thousand dollars.

in the clinches. Wills heavy right
was finding Firpo's body consistent
ly. Wills landed one-two punch to
Firpo's head and the Argentine
clinched. Wills landed to Firpo's
body but took a stiff one in the wind
in return. Firpo danced away from
a right and then cinched. Firpo
landed weakly to Wills jaw and fol-
lowed it with a right to the body
which stung the negro. Wills took
a beautiful right on the jaw just as
the bell rang.

followed with "a right to the body, but
the blow lacked steam. There was
much wrestling and hanging on by
both principals. Firpo landed his
right to Wills jaw twice in rapid
succession but the negro kept con-
centrating to Firpo's body, which
was pink from the heavy battery Of
blows which he had absorbed. Firpo
was getting his right over better
but also taking plenty of body pun
ishment. They were tied tight at
the bell.

face but the negro continued to
smile. They continued their clinch-
ing and wrestling tactics, Firpo get
