I of the farmer more profitable , less ar
duous and more Interesting.

DEATH OF H. C. BARNES.
Was a Former Douglas County Mem
ber In State Legislature.
Omaha , Dec. 18. S. C. Barnes , for
mer member of the Nebraska state
legislature , died suddenly at 10:15 :
o'clock yesterday evening at the home
of his daughter , Mrs. Ira Barker , 211
South Twenty-fourth street. He was
taken slightly sick about 7 o'clock
Saturday night , and not until G o'clock
yesterday morning did he think his
illness serious enough to allow his
daughter to call a physician. Forma
tion of a blood clot In the arteries
above the heart was the cause of
death.
Mr. Barnes was 87 years old , but
despite his years had had good health
until three years ago. Only a month
ago he became too feeble to make his
way down town.
Mr. Barnes had lived in Omaha slnco
1887. Ho represented Douglas county
in the state legislature for six years ,
retiring from political life after the
democratic landslide which defeated
him for re-election In 1907. Mr. Barnes
was born and spent his boyhood in

Fairfax Girl to Get Claim.
Gregory , S. D. , Dec. 18. Miss Freda
C'udath of Fairfax , who drew No. 10
in the recent Melletto and Bennet
county land drawing , will bo able to
file when her name Is called next
April , despite the fact that she lacks
a few months of being the age re
quired by the government. Early
newspaper reports stated that she
would not be allowed to file on this
account , but Messrs. Kull & Oldham
of this city have been looking into the
matter for the young lady , and a pro
vision is found in the homestead law
that leaves no doubt as to her right
to a homestead. The homestead law
states that any minor , male or female ,
who is the head of the family and is
the means of support of the family , Is I
qualified to file. |
Miss Gudath's case fully comes un
der the above- condition , in fact it is
a parallel case with that of Mary Ken
dall who drew No. 1 in the recent
drawing. Her father is dead , and she
resides on a farm near Fairfax with
her mother and stepfather. Her
mother IB an invalid and was conflnci !
In n hospital for several months a few
years ago , and Is at present almost
helpless. The stepfather Is a paralytic ,
and the work of the farm Is thrown
upon thu girl. Although there are sev
eral older brothers , none of them Is
at home or contributes to the support
of the family. Miss Gudath does the
farm work with the assistance of two
.vonnger brothers. She goes out into
the field , winter and summer ; puts up
hay , cultivates and husks corn , besides
tending to all the household duties of
the home.
There seems to be no doubt but
what she can flic , and the officials ol
the local land office give It as their
opinion that she has as legal a right
as any successful homeseeker of the
opening.
