emily the victim of q brutal attack
BY holdup men, tall. slender man,
about 25 years old. who has been par
tally identified as H. NJ. Walker Of
Strasburg, N. D., was in serious con-
dition in the Fort Crook army hos
pital near here, today.
The man was found in pasture
near the Missouri Pacific railroad
tracks, 10 miles southwest Of here, Mt
$3.50 last night by A. l.. Martin,
farmer. He was bound hand and foot
by long shoe strings which had been
taken from his knee-length boots.
His head was badly beaten and the
fingers on the left hand were crushed
as if he had been trying to ward off
blows. Police believe he was beaten
by four-foot knotted tree limb
which was found nearby, covered with
blood and matted with hair.
Still Unconscious At Noon
Up to noon today, the man had not
recovered consciousness.
Army and county authorities be-
lieve the man was beaten by holdup
men who apparently failed to get any
Of his money. Fifteen dollars was
found in money belt about the
mans knee. A pass book which
showed that II. M. Walker had de-
posted $3.50 in the State Bank Of
Strasburg last December was the only
means Of Identification.
The man was we'll dressed for hik-
ing and was apparently hopping train
rides south.
Army physicians believe he will
recover.
Martin said he was walking along
the road with two friends when he
was attracted by groans coming from
a pasture. As he left the road TO in
vestigate, Martin said, he saw two
young men jump up and run away,
but his first thought was for the
wounded man.
Walker was unconscious anu Mar.
tin said he called his friends to help
him carry Walker to Fort Crook,
where he was given medical atten-
tion.
According to the examining physi-
clans, Walker probably was first
daxed by blow on the back of the
head, and then beaten to uncon-
sciousness.
Army guards at Fort Crook ar
rested two men, who gave the names
of Risener and Leader, claiming they
resembled the description of the men
seen running from the pasture in
which Walker was found. The men
were arrested about half mile from
where Walker was found.

RUST CAUSES
HUGE Loss TO
N D. CITIZENS
Edward Yocum Asks County
Superintendents to Enlist
Aid of Students

Black stem rust has cost North Da-
kota citizens 500 each during the
last 10 years, Edward Yocum Of the
United States Department Of agri-
culture told North Dakots county
school superintendents at their con-
vention here recently.
A lesson plan to be used in the In
terest Of barberry bush eradication
was presented to the superintendents
by Yocum. who asked that they en-
list the aid Of school children in the
war on this shrub.
Control Of the rust. he explained,
may be obtained by eliminating the
barberry bushes which cause its
spread. The years Of 1910 and 1925
bwcrc about equally favorable to dam
age from rust. he said. Vet the loss
to the state from this cause in 1916
was 10000 900 compared to $S,000,-
600 in 1925. The reason, he said, was
the eradication Of thousands Of bar
1bcrry bushes BY farmers interested
in protecting their crops. by agents
of the federal agricultural depart
ment and Representatives of the state
agricultural college.
Tho plan which Yocum asked the
superintendent TO adopt contemplate
the distribution Of literature on the
subject to AL rural schools in about
20 counties and all of the city schools
during the month Of March.

MESSAGE FROM
GOVERNOR is
IN PROSPECT
States Dilemma Concerning
Payment of Back Taxes on
Land May Bring One

A special message from Governor
\. G. Sorlic to the legislature was in
prospect today as the result of the
dilemma in which the state finds it.
self with regard to the payment of
back taxes on land to which the state
holds title as the result of foreclosure
Of mortgages.
In n recent decision the supreme
court held that the state may hold
land to which it has acquired title by
mortgage foreclosure without paying
taxes assessed after it receives title.
1t must. however, pay all taxes which
are delinquent at the time it obtains
title.
Bank Wants Security
The decision relieved the state Of
paying some half-million dollars on
land which it holds but required it to
pay about $4,000 in delinquent
taxes. About $4,000 of that sum
already has been advanced by the
Bank of North Dakota but it de-
clines to advance more without Sc
curity.
At meeting of the industrial COM
mission Monday afternoon the effect
of the supreme court decision was
discussed in detail and it was said a
possibility exists that Governor Sor-
lie will make the situation the sub
ject of special message.
The land to which the state has ac-
quired title by foreclosure amounts
to approximately 100000 acres and
$2,50OOOO of farm loans.
Unless the delinquent taxes on the
land arc paid it is feared that tax
deeds will be issued to counties and
private individuals, and the state will
lose its security
Tax Levy Suggested
Governor Sorlie's message, if he
sends one, is expected to take up the
manner in which the state can best
meet the situation. 1t was said to-
day that the Bank Of North Dakota
can advance the money If security
were offered and that the only ap-
parent security available would be
a tax levy which would repay the
money.
A tax levy, however, would serious
~ derangc the schedule of appropria-
tions agreed upon by the state budget
bureau and other appropriations
which the legislature may be asked to
meet. Money already asked for would
exhaust the amount which the state
can constitutionally raise by taxa-
tiOn.
