RUSSIAN WHEAT IS
BROUGHT TO FARMER
IN CROP OF GOOSE
MISSOULA, Mont., Nov. 2.—How
wheat, brought originally from Rus
sia. has been carried to Montana in
the crop of a wild goose and has
become established here, was told
by Corrie Hyatt, an Indian farmer at
Arlee, Montana.
The Indian killed the goose in
1899 and found 6 grains of wheat in
its crop, he said. He planted the grain,
and harvested a small handful of
long-bearded wheat, unlike any ever
seen here before. He continued to
plant it and gave seed to his neigh
bors. , .
Last year he exhibited a sheaf of
the wheat at the Interstate Fair
in Spokane, Wash., and there he saw
similar wheat from Saskatchewan,
Canada. The exhibitor told him he had
obtained his seed from'a sack of
wheat brought from Russia.

A THROUGH TICKET
Via
Chicago, Milwauke & St, Paul Ry.
WHY
By buying a through ticket you save from $10j00 to
$15.00 as against buying to Seattle and re-buying
there.
By buying over the G. M. & St. P. Ry. you are as
sured the comfort that comes from riding behind an
electric locomotive—the most powerful in all the
world— and that personal attention which is a fea
ture of “Milwaukee” service.
For tickets, berth reservations and other parti
culars consult your nearest Steamship Agent.

At the afternoon session of the Dis
trict Court yesterday the grand jury
returned not a true, hill la the case
of the United States ts Ed. Kraues,
bound over by the Commissioner at
Anchorage on the charge of selling li
quor without a license.
A true bill was returned by the
grand Jury In the case of the U. S.
v# W. A. Goodman, charging the sale
without a license of intoxicating li
quor. The accused was arraigned
through his attorney. L. V. Hay, and
the statutory time was granted to
plead.
The trial of Wm. Sheridan on the
charge of Sodomy was continued, and
the boy in the case, a native youth of
11 years, Ed Charley, was placed on
the stand by the plaintiff. He testified
aBto the occurrences on the day men
tioned in the indictment and John
Strom, one of the complaining wit
nesses, was recalled to testify to some
minor points in the case. The plain
tiff then rested and the defendant
then took the stand In his own be
half. He admitted having been in
company with the native boy. but de
nied all the criminal actions imputed
to him. He said he was a stranger in
Chltina, and meeting the boy on the
street had asked him to show him
around the town and any points of
interest which there might be in that
vicinity. The boy had gone with him
to several places and he had given him
a quarter and a flash light, which he
had no further use for. The case was
submitted to the jury without argu
ment and the jury retired at 2:30 to
consider the evidence.. At 4:55 the
jury returned a verdict of assault with
intent to commit Sodomy.
At this morning's session of the
court an order was made confirming
the sale of real property in the cause
of Kay Larson vs. Janies Fish, Sr.,
and Oscar Fish.
An order was also made transfer
ring the cases of W. E. Peterson and
J. Morris, indicted for illegally sell
ing liquor, to the next term of court
at Anchorage.
W. A. Goodman, indicted yester
day for illegally selling liquor at An
chorage. through his attorney L. V
Ray pleaded guilty to the charge, and
waiving time for sentence, was fined
$300, which he paid. Court then ad
journed until 2 o'clock this after
noon.
Robert Small, of I^touche. who has
been serving on the grand jury at the
present term of court, was excused
from further service yesterday and
left on the Evans for Latouche.
A number of witnesses who have
been in attendance at the District
Court, were excused from further at
tendance, and left for the westward

tending court as a witness in tlie Cun
ningham murder case, left on the Ev
ans for Kodiak, having been excused
from further attendance.
L*. A. Iverson, of Seward, who lias
been attending court as a juror, was
excused this morning, and left on the

Had. Him Condemn Gormans.
Lord RobertCecil, undersecretary of
state for foreign affairs. In discussing
the pope's peace Mgs said: "There’s
one observation I’d like to make.' With

Keeping Cool
Let's keep our head and do things
sanely. Excitement is indulged in
vainly. Since war clouds gathered
o’er the nation, there’s been such
frenzied agitation, so much of use
less noise and clamor, it gives a sane
man katzenjammer. A lot of busy
men are screeching: hysteric loy
alty they're preaching; you'll shriek
with them, or you're a traitor—old
Benny Arnold was no greater. A
thousand schemes no man could fol
low, each morning, we are asked t<
swallow; you must do this or that
or t'other, or you are Arnold's young
er brother. These noisy skates arc
misfits, plainly. Let's keep our heads
and do tilings sanely. All history
this fact is telling: Great wars are
never won by yelling. We'll never
whip the kaiser's boosters by crow
ing like so many roosters. We'l!
never win a single battle by min
ing round like locoed cattle. I lov
the flag and would defend it until
the crash of worlds shall end it:
hut 1 don’t drape my stately manors
in forty thousand spangled banners.
That kind of loyalty is easy; bui
when the tax collector, breezy, comes
! up to ask us for our plunder, to
help to put the foeman under, a lot
a patriots will shiver, and have con
gestion of the liver. Then you will
see my smiles are many, while dig
ging up the groat and penny; 1
saved them for my country, mainly;
let's keep our heads and do things
sanely.—Walt Mason.
