two years, but we have failed to find any
merit in it. 1t produces probably few more

there is no practicable economical method
By which the seed may be harvested The
claims that it will produce several hundred

AMBUSHED AND SHOT.
Three Men Waylay Dave shippy and Shoot
Him to Death


Beuna VISTA Ga, March 20. Especial.
The details of the killing of David j.
Shippy by the Hogs men near here have
been received. The shooting was the out
growth of an old feud and from the. testi-
mony of the one eyewitness the killing
seems to have been OF the most coWardly
sort.
The scene of the ARRAY was, about five
miles southwest of here. just beyond the
plantation of Mr.. Howell Hollis. The osa
witness was negro named Daniel Bro}
who works for Mr.. Hollis.
On seeing Shippy approach, jim it
rushed into the road and hailed him
asking if he was ready for row. Shils,
was driving an OK cart, sitting on the se
and sick from too much whisky. lie I"
piled no, that he was tired and did not wan.
q row.
Then l.. A. Hogg, father Of the boys,
came out from behind the bushes and SAID
something about the money that Shippy. had
caused his son Floyd to pay out for lines
Shippy replied that he had paid out as
much money as his sons had to pay, and,
besides, he thought that matter-had been
settled long ago. Old man Hogg told him
that it was a d-n lie, that his sons had
paid out the most money. Shippy returned
the epithet, asking if they thought he was
afraid of them.
Then Floyd Hogg fired, thirteen bullets EN-
tering Shippy's left side. The father en-
deayored to arrest both guns, but without
success.
Jim Hogg then fired, literally covering the
back of Shippy's head with bird shot. A
third shot was fired, but it is supposed to
have missed the man.
The story of the killing has been the
source of general comment with the citi-
zens of Buena Vista today. There is great
excitement An inquest was held over the
body of Shippy late last night. The verdict
was murder. the two boys being cited as
the slayers with the father as accessory
before the fact.

The alarm Of fire ut l:3j o'clock Sunday
afternoon from Box &c. stationed at the
corner Of Governor and Franklin streets,
created a great deal OF excitement as 1t
was generally known that the station was
located near the Davis House. the Ran
dolph Paper-Box Factory, St Luke's Home
and several other large establishments.
An immense crowd hurried to the locality,
and Il was found that the blaze was in the
rear part Of dwelling No. 1900 Ross street,
Immediately adjoining ST. Lukc's Home.
by the time the apparatus Of the depart
ment reached the ground the fire had
made pretty good Roadway. and was
burning right briskly. For half an hour
the nremcn worked bravely, saving the
dwelling. with damage of about 800 TO
$500. The patients at 81. Luke's Home
were considerably excited. because Of the
proximity Of the fire, but there was at
no time any real danger Of the flames
spreading 10 that institution. The origin
Of the blaze appears to have been stove
in the rear Of the second floor. which was
occupied by Rev. j. -. Sapir The third
floor was occupied by two feeble old
ladies', Misses Margaret and Bridget Doc
lev. Miss Bridget was in the act OF
jumping from the window. when she was
rescued by Assistant chief Shaw. assisted
by .Truckman l.. T. Miller and Hoseman

Her sister. Miss Margaret was taken
