The two men suspected OF having
caused the death of Joseph Brezsnski,
of Highland, in the shooting afrray in
Staskis saloon on Saturday evening,
were taken before Squire Shovlin yester-
day morning. Thomas j. Boyle waived
hearing.
The testimony of several witnesses
was heard. The evidence exonerated
Boscowski from having anything to do
with Brezenski's death and he was
discharged.
Boyle was committed to the county
Jail, as the testimony showed that he
fired the fatal shot, but whether the
deed was intentional or not remains to
be shown at the habeas corpus hearing,
which Attorney Carr will probably ask
for him as soon as possible.

Protecting Trees from Rodents.

In many parts of the country rab-
bits and mice are very destructive to
orchard trees. Usually the injury is
done to trees that are young and ten
der, and it is considered that trees
that have begun to bear are safe from
such attacks.
Various devices have been used to
protect the trees from these enemies.
but most of them have proved of no
value. One man thought he had
found a sure way of projecting his
trees, which was by planting cabbages
near the orchard and leaving the cab
bage stumps and large leaves through
the winter as food for the rabbits. 1t
worked all right for some years, but
finally the rabbits got past the cab
bage field and girdled his young
trees.
Another man planted corn adjoin-
ing orchard, believing the corn
would give them all the food they
wanted. 1t seemed to protect the or
chGrd for time, but finally proved a
harbor for mice, and rather increased
the danger to the orchard.
Here and there will be found an
orchardist that uses fish oil or crude
petroleum as a protection, but ex-
perience has shown this 70 be dan
gerous procedure. Mineral oils es-
pecially are very likely to cause the
death of the trees.
One of the best known fruit grow
ers in Illinois uses axle grease on his
trees and claims 1t to be effective. and
that it does not injure the trees. The
safest way is to make lath screen by
means of coarse wire. The wires are
simply crossed between the laths and
thus the shield is woven 20 the size OF
the tree. There should not be enough
room left between the laths to permit
the passage Of mice. This lath pro-
tector is being quite extensively used.
