MANIAC SEEKS TO MAKE HOME - FUNERAL PYRE Eluding Sheriff, Crosby Farmer Firés Residence, Buf Loses His Nerve Crosby, Ni D.. March 15.—Ben Wat- Jen, 56 year old bachelor farmer, re- siding about 10 miles“south of For- tuna in Writing Rock township, made an unsuccessful attempt. to”take his own, life last Saturday afternoon, .fol- Jowing which he set fire to his home. with an idea of cremating himseif. Neighbors had reported him in‘a de- mented frame of mind to Divide coun- ty officers and ‘om a _numbef of. gc- Casions recently he had threatened the lives of nearby farmers. stalking dhout Wis: home and surrounding neighbor- hood with a loaded rifle. JFriday Sheriff Peterson went to the scene to trf-and prevail on Wallen to accompany him. The officers were tilable to get within communicating distance of the insane man, and x posse was organized with intentions of getting him at all hazards. Wal- tén noticed the efforts being made to gét him and went into his house, a néw two story building built last year ~ and went to the second floor, froin which he watched the approach of the officers. When the posse arrived within half a mile of the house the en- raged man made an attempt on his own life, using the rifle-he had been carrying about.for several days. The attempt was_futile- the bullet went wide its mark and graze@® his skull, causing a severe fl€sh wound. Un- successful in this- and determined not to! be taken by the officers he imme- diately set fire to his home, and in- tended to remain in the burning buyiid- ing and cremate himself. This prov- ed too hard an ordeal, and just as the sheriff and posse arrived at the house Wallen broke one of the secorid-story windows open and jumped out on the 17 page. +> @wing, to: the short crop last ‘ers who are ‘not already supplied with i best farm land investments in the’ United.

For North Dakota this inquiry shows that , with the exception of corn. in the southeast fourth of the state or the principal belt which shows a re- serve slightly above the avérdge, and; with the exception of about ai aver-| age regervé of stnall grains in a few northeastern counties, the farm grain reserves are noticeably below avet- season the farm reserve of oats andj} barley are below average quite sen erally, béing especially short sin (h-. western ‘half of the’ state where pro-| duction was decidedly-below seed anid feed. requirements.

Up-to the end of the, year 483 horses were so slaugh- tered. and about one-half of the re- stating meat ‘was certified for export. There had been no previous fedérai supervision of horse slaughter sinc 1903. At that time inspection was limited to a single establishment whfeii had been in operation for several years, The inspection was necessary, as in the present. case, to permit of con signments being made interstate and for report. The consumption of horse meat is not tncommon iu certain parts of con: tinental “Europe, and was in vogue long before the late war. The fact that horses are slaughtered in non-federally ingpected establishments in the United States is perhaps not so\ well. known. Ingpectors of thé Burequ of Animal tddustry reported in 1918 that horses were being so slaughtered at six wide: ly ‘Separated places situated in, thé east and middie west and om th Pacific coast. The output of thesé places aggregated about 2,000 or mbré carcasses annually. As to the con sumption of horseflesh, it is know pt course, sthat zoological garde menageries, etc. account for a lary part of it for the feeding of fles! eating animals, ‘ oe GREEKS HOLDING - OWN WITH TURKS | ONLY BY A HAIR Strength of Mustapha Kemal ,| Musselman National Leader, - Grows Daily Constantinople, Thursday, March 1i. —Greeks, Italians and French forces of occupation in Smyrnia, Adalia and Adana, Asia Minor, are holding their own with difficulty against Turkish nationalist troops, it is indicated’ in reports received today.
