Maine General hospital in an ambulance
and staff surgeons of that institution
proceeded at once to make an examina-
ton of the wounds. Only two bullets
entered the mans body, although three
shots were fred by the would be murder

three inches from the lower end of the
breast bone on level with the ninth
rib and four inches below the nipple.
The bullet entered diagonally and was
located six inches from the point of en-
trance on a line drawn downward from

as it was only short distance below the
skin and could be easily reached.
The second bullet entered the mans
back an inch from the backbone on a
level with the lower end of the soalpula.
1t entered the body in a straight direc-

not to attempt to take 1t out.

It looks as though the little modest
settlement of Puente Is to have the
credit of introducing new product to
the people of Southern California. AT
least it is a new and improved variety
of an old product.
J. w. Hudson is an old Southern Cal
ifornian. For many years he has beer
a resident of Puente, having years ago
married the youngest daughter of John
Rowland, half sister to the very pop
ular old-time sheriff Of this county, W.
r. Rowland.
Five years ago Mr.. Hudson sent east
and procured number of old-fashioned
black walnuts. These he planted, and in
due course of time he had forty little
black walnut trees. The black walnut
Is not an even grower; that is, some
seeds sprout slowly and grow slowly
thereafter, while others sprout readily
and grow vigorously. Hence this little
grove of trees is very uneven in size
some being large and thrifty and others
being small and dwarfed.
Mr.. Hudson's idea was not to grow
black walnuts, for he does not believe
that they would be a profitable crop. as
the market for this nut would be very
limited. He did think, however, that by
budding the English walnut upon d
black walnut stock he might secure a
tree that would be prefera BILE to the
English walnut tree for the soils and

quently Injuries the tree.
The black walnut will thrive in a
heavy soil, and the bark of the tree,
being heavy and rough, will not sun
burn, and these two points are gained
for a black walnut stock for an English
walnut tree, just as the orange stock is
preferable for a lemon tree.
Mr.. Hudson planted his black walnut
trees in orchard form when they were
quite small and two years ago, when the
trees were three years old. he had them
budded to the English walnut sending
to Pomona for an expert budder, who
furnished the buds from some choice
trees. These buds were put in about
four feet from the ground early in the
autumn. By budding high he secured a
