He explains that he beat the frost by planting his com this spring when the ground was ready and while some other farmers were waiting for the air to get warmer. His com will run around sixty bushels to the acre and a portion of the field was once a luxuriant patch of cockle burrs which he eradicated by sowing to sweet clover for several years.

TRAMPS WHO SHOT EDWIN HOAR WILL PLEAD GUILTY, FRIDAY Leorve Heifner, of Bowie, Texas, 27, and Buchanon McEllory, of Lin coln, Nebraska, 25, who Sunday night shot Edwin Hoar, of Page, while hold ing up young Hoar and four compan ions on an oil train! enroute between Long Pine and O’Neill, will plead guilty in district court before Judge Robert R. Dicjcson Friday and £ake penitentiary sentences. Their decision was arrived at after an all-day study of the situation while in the local city jail. Heifner was the first to offer to plead guilty, coupled with a proposition that he be separa ted from McEllory whom he said he feared. Later after Heifner was re moved to the county jail McEllory also decided that a plea of guilty would be the shortest and best way out of the dilemma. The identity of the two men was learned from regular army discharges which they both carried and on which each had been given an excellent character. Insurance re ceipts and other papers also confirmed their identity, which they later ad mitted. , Sheriff Peter W. Duffy, who cap tured the bandits after the oil train arrived in O’Neill shortly after mid night Sunday night, believes that the men may be first offenders, as the one revolver with which they were armed and which was recovered after they had thrown it away was of cheap make and had failed to explode several cartridges found in its chambers. Young Hoar was taken from the train at Atkinson and later brought to the home of his uncle, James Tim lin of this city,after being given medi cal attention. His wound is only a flesh one and not serious. Michael Johnson, member of the city council and Burlington road master stationed at this point, also is an uncle. The positive identification of the bandits by young Hoar and his companions did much to influence them to decide to plead guilty. Hoar’s father, Fred Hoar, is a barber at Page. Cold, Cold, How Cold!
