A Quarrel Between Two Brothers Results
In the Fatal shooting of One Of Them.


In the Fatal shooting Of One of Them.
MARION. ILL.,, June 2s.-On the alter
noon OF the 2jth inst, late in the day.
man named Andrew Leith was shot and
killed by his brother, Tom Leith, on
farm mile and quarter northeast Of
sreal Springs, in this (Wllianson) coun-
". The particulars, which have Just
been received, as given by the man who
did the killing, who was the only witness
60 the terrible affair, are as follows The
two Leiths wetC making a crop to-
gether. About a week previous 10 the
killing they had a difficulty In which
knives were drawn and much bad blood
exhibited. Nothing serious, however,
came Of this quarrel. On the day Of the
fatal trouble the two were hauling hay,
aud when they had both gotten on top OF
the load the deceased remarked to his
brother:
"Tom, am going to kill you"
At the same time he drew knife. Tom
grasped the hand that held the knife with
one hand and held it, and with the other
drew revolver and shot his brother
through the breast. The wounded man
rolled off the load of hay to the ground,
exclaiming
"Tom. you have killed mel"
Tom then jumped to the ground and
shot his brother through the breast sec
ond time. The wounded man died in a
very few minutes. Tom Leith went to
Creal Springs and told the foregoing
story and gave himself into the hands OF
the authorities, where he is held, pend.
ing investigation. The Lciths bear the
reputation Of desperate mcR when an
ecred. They came TO this county from
Tennessee about year ago.

AMERICAN PLOWS.

improvements which Have Made Them
superior to the European Implement.
The shape Of the plow is important.
This fact has now come to be so clearly
acknowledged that plows are made with
special reference to the kind Of work to
be done. There is the prairie breaker,
adapted to tough sod. the sward plow,
in two principal forms. is for fiat and
lap burrows, and stubile-plows in great
variety, from the curve that carries the
furrow slice gradually into the position
in which it is to be left. to that which
carries the slice shapely mp and then
thrusts it sideways and over into posi-
ton The next important means is the
double furrow-trench plow, which IL
simply one plow before another on the
same beam The first plow takes Il
rather thin furrow, which, with n sharp
turn, throws the trash, or a thin skim
Of sod, into the bottom of the preceding
furOw. The true or thick furrow slice
Immediately follows, GOVERN g all
closely in. Another variety is the trench
plow proper, or deep tillcr, designed for
special crops when extra deep tillage Is
necessary in connection with heavy
manuring, or for orchard cultivation.
Such plowing should never be under
taken unless you are sure the depth OF
soil will fully warrant the depth of plow-
ing, for the turning up of the under soil
often produces infertility for years
especially in stiff clays, unless large
amounts of manure are used. Ii is far
better to get depth of tilth by means OF
the true subsoil plow, which running in
the bottom of furrow. loosens, raises
and pulyeri2es the subsoil, but leaves II
in the same position it originally had.
Thus the soil may be pulvcrized to any
depth the strength of the team will al
low. But neither this nor trench-plow-
ing is admissible on soils that ever be-
come thoroughly water-soaked, since
soil saturated with water for any con-
siderable length of time inevitably runs
together, thus destroying its perme-
ability.
1t is only within the last forty years
that Improvements have been orig mated
that have made American plows supe-
rior to any other made for the purposes
required in turning and disintegratlng
all soils, from the lighter sandy soils TO
the toughest clays.- Chicago Tribune.
