XIII. AGRARIAN WORK.

A word about the farmers. We have been
developing an agricultural program which will
be presented to the Party Convention. We will
not have much time to discuss it here. You
should take note of the fact, however, that this
agricultural program is certainly not too early
but rather little late. And now with the ex-

group Of people. We have pointed out
to us numerous examples of the sue
cess of those who have played the
game according to the accepted rules.
It is true that many who initiate the

Ing conflicts with pet theories and stub
born prejudices succeed in attaining
and holding high public office. But il
is inconceivable that success under
such circumstances can bring any
genuine personal satisfaction to the sue
cessful individual or rebound in any
great measure to the welfare of the
public. Insofar as the individual is con-
cerned, the essential thing is that, win

conviction upon earnest study and wide
observation, he gives up much of his
power of usefulness. He were better
defeated while standing truly by his
own beliefs than to win at the sacrifice
of conviction and fortitude.

HUNTERS SHOULD NOT
SHOOT WOOD DUCKS

The duck shooting season opens
September Is and Deputy Game War
den Darlington submits the following
taken from Dupont Conservation
News-as of interest to duck hunters:
Don't shoot wood ducks" says the
law, and yet there are thousands OF
duck hunters everywhere who cannot
distinguish a wood duck from any
other kind while it is flying toward
his blind
"A hunter who has once had a wood
duck pointed out to him while in
flight or while rising from the water,
can never make mistake again. says
the statement from the commission.
There are four characteristics the
wood duck has which no other duck
has and after hunter can once rec
ognize wood duck, these different
characteristics are SO pronounced that
he will never forget them. These four
characteristics are method of flight,
coloring, their fool-hardiness and the
whistle they make when they get off
the water.
Wood ducks in flying have their
heads continually in motion, moving
constantly from side to side as if peer
ing for something in the marsh be-
low them No other bird common to
Wisconsin has this characteristic and
so if hunter sees a small duck flying
toward him with his head moving
from side to side, he knows he cannot
shoot it.
Wood ducks are very tame, almost
to the point of foolhardiness. They will
not rise off the water as quickly as
other ducks and in flying they are
likely to fly much closer to a hunter
than any other kind of a duck.
Wood ducks are brilliantly colored
with white under part of the body
which can be easily distinguished while
they are flying. Their highly colored
crest topknot and cheeks are not so
apparent while in flight but can be
seen better when the birds are rest

Hung For Stabbing;;
Man Didn't Die
BY William E. Cannon

~ w L. odifiiioli
United Press Staff Correspondent
BUTTE, Sept. 3.-(UP.)-A miscar-
riage of vigilante Justice the hang
ing of Sam Gowan for murder"
revealed here last week by the diary
notes of w. R. M. Edwards. pioneer.
Many strange things happened in the
mining camps of the old west, and
Gowan's hanging at German Gulch
was one of the strangest For Gowan
was hanged for killing that never
took place.
John B. Taylor, Deer Lodge national
forest supervisor, now in possession of
copy of the notes made during the
heydey of the historic camp, revealed
the story.
Sam Gowan, miner, stabbed Jack
Dowd during quarrel in 1865.
Green Campbell, once congression-
al candidate from Utah territory. was
chosen chairman and jury was se-
lected from the most respectable min
ers.
Doctors testified that Dowd had only
one chance in million. to live, as a
piece of his lung had been cut out by
a nasty twist given the knife.
Gowan testified also He told Of other
scrapes in other camps, said he was
unable to account for his wickedness,
and asked that no mercy be shown
him.
After fair and impartial trial." the
notes declare, IAN unanimous verdict
that GoWan was guilty was returned
and. he was sentenced to be hanged
The condemned man made his last
requests. He asked that letter be
written his folks back East" reinng
them his death was an accident; that
the. temporary sheriff read a prayer
as he was being hung, and that he be
hung with his hat on.
Dowd fingered on for weeks after
the hanging. Then the mountain eli
mate came to his aid and he began
to recu perate, finally to recover.
Thus was a man executed for a
murder that he did not commit" re-
lates Edwards dryly. But it was not
Gowans fault that Dowd did not die;
neither the sheriff nor anyone else
concerned in the affair lost any sleep
over what had happened. 1t had a
Statutory effect on crime in Deer Lodge
county for many years, and if there
were more determined men now who
would administer such justice, crude
as it was, there would be less crime
today"
