important to Alfalfa Growers.

Thurston White, county fruit in
spector for Fremont county, hands us
the following letter. AS it contains
information of great value to the
growers of alfalfa we cheerfully give
it space. The letter comes from
Prof. Ball of the State Agricultural
College. 1t says:
The worm on the alfalfa is cut
worm and is doing considerable dam
age all through the southern part of
the state this year. Nothing much
can be done for it while in the alfalfa
the only thing to do is to prevent it
going onto some other crop when the
alfalfa is cut. If there is garden
or beets or anything like that on any
side of the alfalfa keep ditch with
water in it between this and the field,
failing in this three or four dry fur
rows will check them some what and
strong Paris Green spray on the
plants next the field will kill those
that go over.
"The alfalfa worm will go into the
ground very soon and will appear in
about month as dark rusty or
bronzy moth. If they cut the alfalfa
and rake it up into windrows the
worms will mostly gather under the
windrows and could be crushed by
iollingas soon as the hay was stacked"

THE MARKET FOR SOUR CHERRIES

is one remedy; mulching another.
: THE MARKET FOR SOUR CHERRIES
"All fruit that grows on the station
ground" says Professor Hedrich of
Utah, Escaping the hands of students,
farmhands, poachers and others is
sold. The cherries from 60 trees, oc-
cupying about one-tenth of the whole
orchard, sell for more than the pro-
duct of twice the humber of trees of
any other fruit. We do not have to
seek market; purchasers come and
leave orders long before the cherries
are ripe. Calls were made for ten
times as many cherries as we sold
this season. The price obtained was
81 for 18 pounds. This might have
been raised, for the supply about Lo-
gan did not nearly reach the demand.
Il do not argue the planting of
large orchards of sour cherries, for /
know that the local market would
soon be overstocked. But l believe
that more money can be made by
small landowners with sour cherries
at the present time than with any
other crop of which l know. Near
cities or where facilities offer for
shipping to large markets small Or
chard of sour cherries could hardly
fail to be profitable. A market for
the fruit would be certain.

Nobody realizes how much water
the hen will drink if she can get it.
Most people have an idea that she
can get all she needs in her own way;
but just try putting painful Of fresh
water every day where the fiocks can
get at, and note results.
Keep turkeys growing right from
the shell if you want them in good
condition to sell. See that they come
home every night. At first, if you
raise them with turkey mother,
you will have to hunt them up and
drive them home, but if they are fed
in the morning, and always at night,
they will soon learn to come home as
regularly as cows. After they are
fully feathered, and have thrown out
the red on their heads, which usually
occurs at sbout three months, they
are hardy, and may be allowed un-
limited range at all times, and as
the supply of insects lasts they will
thrive on two meals day.

George Ammong Meets Sudden Death
killing Occurred In S.rIile Park
Verdict of Coroner's Jury.

AS stated briefly in our last issue,
there was fatal shooting in Smile
Park at an early hour last Thursday,
but at that moment were unable to
obtain any names.
The facts leading up to the shoot
ing as we understand them are: J..
E. Harrington, resident at Hartsel,
Park county, is the owner of a large
ranch in the center of South Park
and raises hay and handles horses and
cattle; that he has resided there al
most his entire life and bears an
excellent reputation. He has in his
employ several men assisting in vari-
Gus capacities, and among the help
prior to the morning of June 18th,
we're John McCoury and George Am
mong, the latter believed to be half
breed Mexican. Early Wednesday
morning, June 81, Mr.. Harrington
sent McCoury on fifteen mile ride
after a horse, while he went ten miles
in an opposite direction, also after a
horse. Ammong was ordered to di-
vide his time between some irrigating
and assisting the women folks at the
house with the chores, which he con-
tinued to do until about nine o'clock,
when he went into the field and
caught valuable mare which he
brought to the house and hastily
packing his blankets and clothes,
mounted the mare and rode away
rapidly over the fields to the public
road and disappeared.
McCoury returned to the ranch
about one o'clock and was told of
what Ammong had done and was ad-
vised to mount fresh horse and
overtake the Mexican. This he de-
clined to do, but did ride to the point
where he could reach Mr.. harrington.
After hearing the facts, McCoury was
sent back to the ranch with orders to
get four fresh horses and start in
pursuit and that he (Harrington)
would meet him at certain point,
which he did. At two or three points
during the ride information was OBJ
tainod that the fellow had passed that
way and they hurried forward riding
throughout the night. Crossing g.
lille Park all trace of Ammong was
lost, aud leaving McCoury with the
tired horses in clump of underbrush
near the point where the Parkdale
road branches from the Main road,
Harrington rode TO Canon for the
purpose Of using the telegraph wires
and also to got fresh horses and

instruc ions, kept close watch of the
road. Shortly before FIVE o'clock he
saw Ammong riding the stolen mare
and evidently scanning the country
to see if he was pursued. He quickly
discovered McCoury and instantly put
whip and spur to the mare, tried to
outride his pursuer. McCoury called
to him to stop, and did 80 several
times but without effect. He was
then told that If he did not stop that
he (McCoury) would shoot. This
threat availed nothing, other than to
increase the distance between pur-
sued and pursuer.
When within about seventy yards
of AmmOng he was again told by Nc
Coury to stop or he would shoot him
but instead of stopping he rode the
faster, whipping the mare badly to
urge her forward. McCoury then
fired shot over the head of Ammong
who was rapidly increasing the dis
tance between them. Again McCoury
commanded him to halt or he would
have to shoot him. Waiting a few
moments he fired again and noticed
that Ammong made side movement
and looked back, all the time using
the spurs and quirt, but McCoury
saw the dust rise where the bullet
struck the ground and supposed he
had missed his aim Again the in
junction to stop was unheeded; again
the pistol spoke and the chase was
over.
Examination proved that the sec
ond shot had passed through Am
mong's left lung, going entirely
through the body. The third shot
passed through the vertebrate and
through the body, the bullet lodging
just under the skin above the stom-
ache, from which position it was re-
moved by the coroner. The pistol
was "A calibre.
Immediately after the shooting
McCoary rode to Canon, where he
met Mr.. Harrington and they togeth-
er went to the coroner and sheriff, to
whom the shooting was reported. AS
stated, the officers and undertaken
quickly left for the scene of the
shooting and the body was brought
to this city. Coroner Little sum-
moned jury and conducted an in
quest Thursday afternoon, when
Sheriff Hawkins and Mr.. Harrington
testified. The jury was made up of
the following citizens: F. V. Marina

five o'clock, a. M, June %, 1900, from
