RIGHTS OF THE FARMER.
Many city sportsmen have, in
newspaper interviews, severely
criticised Northern Minnesota
farmers for prohibiting shooting
on their farms during the open
season for game. The city men
seem to look upon the action of
their brothers in the country as
something in the nature of an in
sult. Theyare highly indignant
that their "rights" should be
thus interferred with, and their
sport in a measure spoiled.
The farmer is justified in post
ing his notices notifying the pub
lic at large that no shooting will
be allowed on the premises. It
is strange that he has stood the
nuisance as long as he has. Most
of those who come into the coun
try for sport\re bound to have
it afc any costprovided the cost
is paid by the other fellow, in
this case the farmer. They seem
to consider noonebut themselves.
They want to shoot, and to shoot
at some living thing. If wild
chickens are lacking they pick
off the tame ones, also knocking
over turkeys, ducks and geese
which happen to wander a safe
distance from the house. They
kill everything in the shape of a
bird, from the little creatures
hopping about in the grass to the
real object of their search, the
prairie chicken. Nor do they
stop here. Many of the men are
in rigs, driving across country
where there are no roads, per
haps. A wire fence bars their
way and they cut it. It is a much
simpler method than to follow it
along, searching for an opening.
Aside from this Wanton de
structiveness there is the fright
and injury occasioned the farm
ers' stock. In many instances
the popping of guns in the hands
of a bunch of sportsmen has been
the cause of valuable horses and
cattle rushing against barbed
wire fences, badly tearing the
flesh.
As a rule the city man is self
ish and unreasonable. He re
fuses to recognize the rights of
the farmer and makes himself a
nuisance generally. He is a bad
person to have around. Can you
blame the farmer for driving him
off his land?
IT J.S somewhat surprising that
Herman H, Chapman, superin
tendent of the Grand Rapids Ex
periment Farm, should go before
a forestry meeting and advertise
the Jack and Norway pine lands
of Northern Minnesota as of little
use for agricultural purposes.
Hubbard county has Jack and
Norway pine farms upon which
a crop of wheat has been raised
continuously for from ten to fif
teen years, without fertilizer,
nough to wear out the best land
under the sun, and the land is
still good and properly treated
will raise good crops. This
county has both prairie and pine
Jand as well as hard wood land,
but the pine land will raise po
tatoes and all root crops that
open the eyes, of Iowa and Da
kota farmers.Hubbard County

cover.

Waterloo, 111., Sept. 12.William A.
Hoffman, a young farm employe living
twelve mileB southeast of Waterloo,
called his father-in-law, William
Brandt, to the door of his house and
shot him to death.
Then he rode back to his home, told
his wife that he had "killed the old
hound, your father," gave her $2 which
he said he wanted her to spend in
christening their four-weeks-old daugh
ter, Mary, kissed her and rode away
into the woods.
"I'll Kill Two More."
"There are two men I must kill be
fore I kill myself," he said to his wife
before leaving.
The family of Dr. Brandt offers a re
ward of $300 for Hoffman's capture.
Sheriff Thomas Such and a large
posse are searching ior him and ex
pect at any time to have a pitched bat
tle with him. Hi is armed with a
shotgun and revolvers. Just befoFe
ktlllnf his father-in-law he purchased
fifty rounds of cartridge*
Hoffman lis a good workman, strong
and athletic The officers believe he
was 44MB to recklessness by w: laky
and hi* imaginary troubles. Before he
murdered Branrft tie said to Herman
Papes:
"In one- hour there will be a posse
out tor me. Bat took out I will shoot
yon or Tom Rucfc or anybody dae
Who trtee to arrest me,"
Hoffman's wife aaye that as he left
he declared: "I must kill to more
people then myselt it the sheriff or
his deputies try to arrest me, I most
also kill them."

There Is Land
Still Left in
the Northwest
And the Northern Pacific has a new and very Low Rate
for Colonists and Homeseekers in effect from September
15 to November 30,1903.
This gives the Farmers a good chance to go homeseeking,
after crops are harvested, or any others who wish to move
into the growing, teeming, improving Northwest to visit
it at a trifling expense.
The finest valleys in the Northwest, good for grain, hay,
fruits, root crops, for mixed, stock or dairy farming, for
irrigation or not, as one wishes, are found along the
Northern Pacific or its branch or connecting lines. The
growing, thriving towns are found there, too. It is, a
great country.

It la supposed that Hoffman's motive
tor killing his father-in-law was that
the old gentleman refused to increase
his weekly allowance. Dr. Brandt was
quite wealthy and had been practically
supporting his son-in-law and family.
He gave Hoffman a certain amount of
spending rnonv each week.
