WASN'T STUCK ON HIS JOB.
A City Prisoner Objects to Scrubbing and Es
Wl, otts From
Ml.-
John Bogan. serving a fo.ur-day sen
tence in the city jail on a drunk con
viction, made good his 'escape at the
poon hour today, and "flew the town,'
for keeps—so the officers hope. Bo
gan was put on the "'trusty' list this
morning and was employed by Ser
geant Wood about the station in scrub
bing floors and washing windows. At
the noon hour he was taken back to
the jail and confined in the woman's
ward. The wooden door was locked,
but the iron door was left open, and
the optside door, leading from the main
corridor, was also left open' for the
convenience of plumbers who are work
ing in the prison. When the sergeant
went for his man at o'clock he found
the cage open and that the bird had
flown. An investigatiffti revealed the
fact that the prisoner had worked a
Yale lock with a small piece of.wire.
His time would have been up and he
would have received his discharge to
night. Bogan hat* been hanging around
Fa%go and Moorhead for the past four
weeks, drinking and making a nuisance
of himself, and the authorities are glad
to get rid of him.

RAILROAD NOTES.
WANT SCHEDULE CHANGED.
The people an the Aneta and Hope
branch of the N. P. are very desirious
of having the old train service restored
011 that branch. They prefer to have
the train leave Casselton in the morn
ing and return in the evening. As it is
now every traveling man is compelled
to lose one whole day unless he hires a
team, at a great expense, to make time.
The matter is to be presented to the
Commercial Club of Fargo in the hope
that it may be able to exercise an in
fluence in obtaining a change.
FAMILIES OF SHORT HORMjSL
The Farmer: In a letter of recent
date a subscriber at St. Peter puts tl'e
following query: "Give the leading
familes of Shprthorn cattle and their
origin.' Which are Scotch and which
are English? Also in which familes do
we looEvfor the beefy type and in which
for'the best milkers, generally speaking.
Please give all the information you can
along this line, so that I may be in
formed about pedigtees."
It would not be possible to give all
the information asked for in one paper.
The number of animals looked upon im
portant may be termed legion. Never
theless, it will be possible to answer the
question so that the reader will gain suf
ficient information to guide him in a gen
eral way in seeking the types of cattle
referred to.
The three great families of Short
horns are the Bates, the Booth and the
Cruickshank, named respectively after
the men who molded them. The Bates
and tne Booth Shorthorns are hoth En
glish the Cruickshank Shorthbrns afe
Scotch The Bates and Booth were in
troduced before the Cruickshank cattle
were, j•
Prominent among the Bates familes
are such as the Duchess Gwynne, Ox
ford, Kirklevington and Waterloo fam
ilies. Prominent among the Booth arc
such families as very frequently include
the name of Duke or Earl, in connec
tion with the males. The terms Killer
by Warlady, the names of the two
farms where these cattle were imported,
are sometimes associated with the name.
It would not be possible to give rules
that wQuld enable one to detect with
much precision animals that contain
Booth blood. Prominent among the
Cruickshank Shorthorns are such famil
ies as tne Mina, Crocus, Victoria, Cow
slip and Lavendar. This enumeration,
however, does not nearly cover the list.
By tracing the animals uack in the herd
books, it may be ascertained whether
they trace back to one or the other of
these
breeders.

A BENSON COUNTY BOfc
Maddock Standard: Perhaps there
are many people living in Benson
County who do not know that in the
ranks of the champion football team
of the northwest (the University of
Minnesota team) there is a Bensori
County boy—Usher L. Burdick of
Graham's Island—who is a student in
the law school connected with that in
stitution. This is Mr. Burdick's first
season as a football player,, and he took
a prominent part in the great game at
Madison, Wis., Thanksgiving week. In
speaking of Mr. Burdick's playing we
clip the following from The Minneapo
lis Tribune:
"Burdick was tried at guard, but'did
just fair work, although he tried hi£
,best. Then the big fellow was put at
fullback, and this place did not suit
him any better than at guard. Then
he was put out on the end, and it was
here he began to develop very rapidly.
He not only* appeared to be very fast
when playing out in the more open po
sition, but the end rush style" of play
seemed to suit him exactly. The plays
that were sent against him in the ear
lier games were easy for him to solve,
and very rarely did he allow "himself
to be foole'd by being drawn too far
in when an opposing play came out and
around his end.
It was in the Iowa game that he did
his first real good work of thfe season,
for in that contest he suddenly evinc
ed remarkable speed of carrying the
'ball, not only being able to utilize his
weight in line bucks, but also taking the
ball around the opposite ends for
gains. He was disabled before the
Michigan game, and was unable to get
into the play. At Illinois he was in
shape again and advanced the ball well,
also keeping up his work on the de
fense. The Wisconsin game saw him
at his position and in great physical
condition. Once or twice he allowed
himself, to be drawn in, but more than
made up for this by nailing play after
play behind the lines when Wisconsin
made her futile attempts to get around
for a big gain.
"On the offense he was as strong as
the
other
were
Minnesota forwards who.
catted hack
much
books.
A
good dgit
wBSSSSm
to carry the ball, and
to him was given the honor of making
one of the three touchdowns.
From
the, beginning Burdick has shtijrtt
steady inipifvement?
and has played
a
[tfl game for a man who was
tifcw to the position."
