After the blows had been inflicted, O’Connell’s clothes were urated with kerosene and his home vy set on fire. Although his body w recovered after being badly burned, the house was burned to the ground, lt was at first thought that he had been accidentally burned to death in his home, but the statements of the three oldest of the nine O'Connell children, made to the county authori- ties, are to the effect that Mrs. O’Cen- nell, wife of the murdered man was the sole author of the horrible deed. uy appears that O'Connell and a neigh- or, Charles Gahaga returned home om Amiret about 8 o’clock Friday Both were drunk, and O’Con- nell brought home a jug of whisky. gan soon left ibd bee pus s.

Island Lake, Minn., Aug. 6.—A great number of important experiments in grass cultivation are being conducted on the state experimental farm here. ‘ryhese investigations are for the pur- pose of finding out the various grasses best suited for the climate and soil of Southwestern Minnesota. Supt. 0.6. a Gregg says: “Many men have considered that it was impossible to grow clover success- fully in Lyon county. We have found that it can be grown with great suc- cess, if given proper care and cultiva- tion. One of the recent methods of growing clover is to sow it with the drill. Prof. Sheppard of Fargo has ex- perimented in this line. His yield this.: year was magnificent. He mixes grass 1 seed, one t of timothy and clover, with four parts of salt, to give it bulk. He shuts his grain drill as close as possible, and crosses the seeding al- ready done with wheat and oats. By this method he puts his grass seed fair- ly deep in the ground, and it gets a good stand. The Asike is the clover for low lands, It will thrive on ground that is good for red top. It is not suit- able for high lands. The Mammoth clover is a heavier grower and bids fair to surpass the red clover in West- ern Minnesota. Red clover is biennial. It drops seed the second year of its growth. If left on the ground and not rarried away it will reseed itself. We | have land here that has reseeded itself | for ten years. For sowing on uplands 1 advise farmers to use the Mammoth and red clover. Asike and timothy are the finest forage grasses.” THE FIGHT FIZZLED. The Sheriff Interfered and Things Hot for the Pugs. Winona, Minn., Aug.

They Hold Up and Shoot Farmers on the Highway. Shakopee, Minn., Aug. 7. — Charles Kopp and son of this city had an ad- venture that neither will wish to re- peat. The two started before daylight for Minneapolis with a load of chick- ens, and in Bloomington township were hailed by members of a vigilance committee, which has been organized to protect farmers from the depre- dations of. chicken thieves and calf- stealers. The vigilantes were armed with shotguns, and- their fierce looks and words alarmed the Kopps, and when they were ordered to halt they attempted to dash by, having every reason to believe their assailants were robbers. The vigilants gave chase and fired several shots, when the Kopps ! drove into a farm yard for protection. The vigilants soon came up, and ex- planations followed, but these could not repair the injvry done by the reck- less shooting. The son John has some seven shots in his ankle, and one of the horses is so badly riddled that it will probably die. ‘The Kopps were carrying a lighted lantern, and treated the men, when accosted, in a perfectly open way, and there was slight excuse for so grave a mistake. Warrants will be issued for the arrest of those who did the shooting. All parties are well known and respected. A DINGLEY QUESTION. The Action of New Collector Wil- cutts of Duluth Brings a Protest. Duluth, Minn., Aug. 7. — The Booth Packing company has filed a protest against the collection of duties on fish brought by it from Canadian waters. The Dingley bill provides for a duty of 1-4 cent a pound on fresh fish im- ported, except on fish caught by Amer- ican citizens. The Beoth company brings a great amount of fish from Port Arthur, and Collector Wilcutts is now charging duties on it. The Booth company claims that it is an American corporation, and that it is caring for and causing to be caught the fish that are being brought from Canada. It | does not deny that Canadians are do- ing the fishing for the company, but it claims that the nets, ete., all belong to the company,and that it hires the men. The collector takes the position that the fishermen are all Canadians, and that the company buys the fish by the pound. The department will have to settle the matter.

Superior Does Not Want Miegal Bonds Made a Legal Obligation. West Superior, W Aug. 7.—Busi- ness men are all stirred up over the plan of the administration to refund the *s bonded indebtedness and is- sue new twenty-year bonds. The idea is to pay up bonds for which funds can be scraped together and refund the rest as a “lien on posterity.” Many taxpayers construe it as an attempt to make them pay illegal bonds.

Dartford, Wis., Aug. 6.—Julius Zuel- ke, who waived examination on the charge of murdering Edward Davis, will probably plead guilty to a lesser charge and take his chances with a jury here.
