Findley, whose investigation of army cloth- ing found near the scene of the mur- der resulted in the direction of sus- picion toward White. : White is described as being five feet 9 1-2 inches tall, slightly stoop- ed, blue eyes, dark brown hair, a long slender face and dark com- plexion.

That is a question that will be answered next Tuesday night when petitions which were sent to all cattle herd ae otal) in the county by A. R. Miesen, agricultural agent, will be presented to the township boards in the respective townships. All herds of cattle in the county can be tested free of charge by the state and federal governments if the majority of livestock owners want such tests made. Indemnities will be paid for animals condemned | ¢; on account of tuberculosis. Burleigh county is lagging behind the majority of North Dakota coun- ties in this respect. All of the east- ern counties have been tested. Mc- Lean and Morton counties, neighbors, are being tested now. Kidder county has just completed tests. 51 Per Cent Must Sign How can the cattle-testing move- ment be launched? Fifty-one per cent of all cattle owners of each township must sign a petition asking the State Live Stock Sanitary board to make the test. Petitions for this request have already been mailed out. The townships must furnish a car and driver to take the testers from farm to farm in the township. The law requires this. Farmers can haul the testers free of charge but the best way is to set aside township money enough to pay for such testers and car. is saves time and ex- pense, Mr. Miesen said today. The cost is usually from $50 to $60 a township and one week is the aver- age required to finish a township, Thi ‘ests Made in the Fall e tests are made in the fall after threshing. Why test cattle for. tuberculosis? Thirty-eight. per cent of all chil- dren infected with tuberculosis con- tracted it from drinking raw milk from tubercular cows, says Mr. Miesen. Sick animals are unprofit- able and they spread the disease to other members of the herd. | Taxpayers at the present time are! paying for the tests which are being | made in other stats and in other} counties of North Dakota. Already | 24 counties in eastern North Dakota have been accredited. How the Tests Work Out All livestock owners who want the tests made are urged to sign the petition enclosed in the letter which Mr. Miesen sent out. mite ieee the ite EE Sorel cattle will be tagged and shipped to market after first being appraised. Appraisal Values The appraisal values are: Grades 2 years old or over, up to $60. Grades 2 years old or under, up ‘0 $30. Purebreds 2 years old-or over, up $150. to Purebreds 2 up to $75. The owner of infested cattle gets what they bring. If this is not equal to the appraised value then the state and federal governments pay two- thirds of the remainder and the owner loses one-third. The owner receives full net amount secured ‘rom the sale of the carcass regard- less of the amount. After the first test, all herds in- fected will be tested again in about three months following ‘the first examination. The county pays the expense of the transportation of the inspectors. hen less than one-half of one per cent of the cattle in the county show tuberculosis the county is ac- credited and no cattle can be shipped in unless they are tested. Mr. Miesen urges all farmers to attend the township meetings next Tuesday night and talk this matter over, vote enough money to hire a driver during the tests, and sign the petitions at the meeting. or at the township election. : The Burleigh county board of com- missioners has approved the cattle- testing movement and recommends that the livestock owners of the county adopt the testing plan as outlined by Mr. Miesen. PAYING THIRD DIVIDEND Payment of a third dividend of 10 ber cent to creditors of the Citizens State Bank of Flaxton was an- nounced today bythe state receiver of closed banks, bringing the total pasment on this bank to 30 per cent. ‘ayment is being made through J.
