After setting fire to the house, they gave
the alarm and as the inmates ran out the

MURDEROUs ROBBERS.
An Aged Lady Storekeepcr Drained
and Her Store Robbed.

Mobile, Ala, Dec. 14.-This morning
little girl going to the store of Mrs. Mar
garet Hogan on the corner of Clay and
Congress streets to make small pur-
chase, found the store open and the
lamps burning, but no one attending.
Going into the rear room she discovered
Mrs. Hogan lying on the floor dead, with
her hands tied behind her back and IA
piece Of braid wrapped tightly around
her throat. Giving the alarm, an invcs-
tigation followed which showed that the
place had been robbed of money and
some of the goods. The robbers had
probably forced the woman, who was Is
years OF age, to give up her small hoard,
which she kept in her room back of the
store. Then they strangled her with the
braid, hut finding her slow in dying,
Drained her with some blunt instrument.
Her brains had oozed out on the floor.
From the fact that lamps were still
burning and the woman fully dressed.
it is thought that the murder occurred
some time during the night, perhaps at
| an early hour in the evening. No noise
was heard at any time and there is no
clue to the identity of the murderers.

subject is full Of qualifications that
make conclusions taken from one place
almost worthless for the next. For in
stance, there Ia much alfalfa land that
is naturally moist and still more 30 open
that the roots will reach standing water
below. This will give very good crops
without any irrigation IL the gophers
are drowned out regularly. A six-inch
flooding twice a year will generally do
this, and a nine-inCh one is quite sure
to. Much of this moist land Is so easily
kept free of gophers that one six
inch flooding year will do, but many
will put five feet of water on such a
soil because they have it; the soil is so
open that 1t drains away beneath, lesv-
ing apparently no bad results. The
yield under such watering Is very
heavy, but It Is certain that no such
amount Of water is needed on that
kind Of ground"
