# Vera Baltz

Vera Aleksandrovna Balts (1866–1943), sometimes published as V.A. Balts, or Baltz, was a geologist and soil scientist. Balts was one of the first female soil scientists in the Russian Empire and the later Soviet Union, the latter of which suppressed her work.

## Biography

Balts was born in Saint Petersburg in 1866.

### Education

In 1882 she graduated with a gold medal from the St. Petersburg Alexandrovskaya female gymnasium. She knew German, French and English. In 1894, the family moved to Warsaw, to the place of service of her father, General A.F. Balts (1841–1899), a high-ranking officer in the Imperial Russian Army.
Balts was educated at the Tenishevsky School in Saint Petersburg. She became interested in biology and the field of soil science, eventually working at the Soviet Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg and the V.V. Dokuchaev Central Museum of Soil. In the 1920s, she became the director of the Museum of Soil Science. Specializing in soil structure, engineering geology and road construction, she attended several international conferences of soil scientists in the late 1920s. She also published a number of scientific works during this time.

### Arrest

In December 1930, Balts was arrested as part of a group of people considered to be antigovernmental agitators by the Soviet government. Although some authorities demanded her execution, she was sentenced to five years of forced labor at Solovki prison camp, where she was able to continue her work as a soil scientist. She even took part in the work of the Northern Base of the USSR Academy of Sciences for the study of tundra and peat bogs near Arkhangelsk.
Balts was released from prison in 1933 on account of her advanced age, though the Soviet government levied additional restrictions on her and suppressed her work. Balts then settled in Arkhangelsk with her niece, Leontina Arturovna, and her husband.
Balts and her family was eventually forced to move to Syktyvkar. After the ration card for her niece and family was stolen, Balts gave them hers. She died in 1943 of decompensated myocarditis brought on by starvation at 76.

# Verticordia huegelii var. stylosa

Verticordia huegelii var. stylosa, commonly known as variegated featherflower, is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a single-stemmed shrub with its growth form depending on its surroundings. It is similar to other varieties of the species but differs in its flower colour and the form of the style and staminodes.

## Description

Verticordia huegelii var. stylosa is a shrub which usually grows to 10–60 cm (4–20 in) high. In open situations it is bushy and spreads to 60 cm (20 in) but is spindly when growing close to other small shrubs. Its leaves are linear to club-shaped, semi-circular in cross-section, 3–6 mm (0.1–0.2 in) long and about 0.5 mm (0.02 in) thick.
The flowers are unscented and arranged in rounded groups near the ends of the branches, each flower on a stalk 4–11 mm (0.2–0.4 in) long. The floral cup is top-shaped, about 2 mm (0.08 in) long, smooth and partly hairy. The sepals are pale creamy-green to lemon coloured when they open, ageing to orange and finally, rusty-red. They are 7–8 mm (0.28–0.31 in) long and lack lobes but are deeply divided with spreading hairs. The petals are a similar colour to the sepals, more or less round and spreading, about 2 mm (0.08 in) long and wide with a fringe of hairs around their edge. The staminodes are lance-shaped to egg-shaped, tapering towards the tip which is fringed with a few hairs. The style is straight, 5–5.5 mm (0.20–0.22 in) long, has a few hairs around its upper part and has a cap-like stigma. The sepals, petals and style are slightly smaller, the staminodes slightly broader and the style slightly shorter than those of var. huegelii. Flowering time is mostly from September to December.

## Taxonomy and naming

The species, Verticordia stylosa was first formally described in 1847 by Nikolai Turczaninow in Bulletin de la Société Impériale des Naturalistes de Moscou. In 1991, Alex George undertook a review of the genus and described this as one of the four varieties of Verticordia huegelii. The epithet (stylosa) is a reference to the prominent style of the species, now variety.

## Distribution and habitat

This variety of V. huegelii grows in sandy clay-loam, often with lateritic gravel in areas that are wet in winter and usually with other species of verticordia. It is found in scattered locations in areas between Dandaragan, Wongan Hills and Kalgan in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions.

## Conservation

Verticordia huegelii var. stylosa is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.

## Use in horticulture

Although not often cultivated, this variety is described as "an attractive, bushy shrub". It is usually propagated from cuttings although these are sometimes difficult to grow on. It appears to be frost hardy and tolerates the removal of a few stems for floral arrangements.

# London Protocol (1877)

The London Protocol was signed on 21 March 1877 between Russia and the United Kingdom. The Russians agreed not to establish any client states in case they attained victory in the looming Russo-Turkish War. In return, the British agreed to remain neutral in any conflict between the Ottoman Empire and Russia. The agreement was an effort to maintain a balance of power in the Balkans and to avoid intervention by the other Great Powers. Russian attempts to create a large Bulgaria in the Treaty of San Stefano led to the British withdrawal from the Protocol and threatened military intervention, quieted only by the Congress of Berlin.

# Long Branch Saloon gunfight

The Long Branch Saloon gunfight, on April 5, 1879, was an altercation that took place between Frank Loving and Levi Richardson at the Long Branch Saloon in Dodge City, Kansas. Both men were gamblers who frequented the saloon.

## Background

Frank Loving was a 19-year-old gambler at the time of the fight. Although often referred to as being a gunfighter, that reputation did not develop until after this event. Loving had come to Dodge City from Texas, and had arrived the year before. He had settled into the gambler's life of the busy cattle town, and gotten married. Loving became friends with Long Branch owner Chalkey Beeson, and become associated with several notable gunmen, gamblers and lawmen of the day, including Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, John Allen, as well as Levi Richardson.
Levi Richardson had a tough disposition and was disliked by most, but did get along fairly well with Bat Masterson. He had a reputation as a gunman, despite it being mostly hearsay. In early 1879, Loving quarreled with Richardson, claiming that Richardson was making unwanted and disrespectful advances toward his wife, Mattie Loving. The two threw taunts back and forth for a time, but with nothing more than verbal confrontations until March of that year, when the two became involved in a fist fight on Front Street. After exchanging punches, Richardson threatened, "I'll blow the guts out of you, you cockeyed son of a bitch." Loving, not being armed, simply turned and walked away.

## The gunfight

On April 5, 1879, Richardson strode into the Long Branch Saloon specifically looking for Loving. Loving, however, was not there at that time. Richardson settled into a game of poker. Around 9:00 p.m., Loving entered the bar, this time armed. Loving took a seat at a long table, at which point Richardson moved over and sat across from him. The two men could be heard talking low to one another, but what was said could not be understood. Suddenly, Richardson said loudly "You wouldn't fight anything, you damned son of a bitch," to which Loving said calmly, "Try me and see."
Richardson stood and drew his gun, which prompted Loving to do the same. Both men fired their weapons repeatedly, with Richardson firing five rounds and Loving firing six. When the shooting stopped, Richardson had been shot in the chest, the side, and the arm. Loving was grazed on the hand by one bullet, but otherwise was uninjured. Town Marshal Charlie Bassett quickly responded, having heard the shots, but Deputy Marshal Duffey arrived first, and took hold of Richardson as he crumpled to the floor. No one else in the saloon was injured. Loving was arrested as was standard procedure in such a case. On April 7, 1879, a coroners inquest ruled the shooting self defense, and Loving was released without charges. The Globe newspaper said of the fight; "...it seemed strange that Loving was not hit, except for a slight scratch on the hand, as the two men were so close together that their pistols almost touched each other..."
