Man SHOT
TO DEATH.
Looks Like Murder For
PIunder.
g.

NHcSttI, J. IL, Jdll. C.---IISSlHSGOIl
has mystery which developed to-
day in the finding OF the body OF
a man lying in the field near the
Lester Piano Works. The discoy-
cry was made by George and
Charles Wilcox, Of Essington,
who were on their way home from
the boat houses on Darby Creek:
They saw the PROSTATE body Of a
men lying in the field, and closer
inspection revealed a CHASTITY wound
back Of the left ear. Coroner Fry
made an investigation, which leads
to the belief that the man, who
proves to be Samuel Venable, aged
about 35 years, was murdered.
: Venable has been missing for
several weeks. For Il month or
SO he stayed at the Metropolitan
Boat Club on Darby Greek, and
apparently went out cunning. He
was attired in leather boots and a
cunning outfit.
The clothes were frozen stiff,
but the Coroner found that one of
the inner pockets had been turned
inside out although the coat wa S
tightly buttoned.
! Another suspicious fact was the
position of the body. One leg was
under it, and one hand rested on
the gun, which was lying across
the knees. On top Of the gun,
appare ntly to hold it in place, was
placed a heavy stick.
The Coroner also discovered
that the high grass in which the
body was found lying had been
fred. The flames burned over the
entire field, including about an
acre, and the flames had reached
the man. One side Of his face is
scorched u deep brown. The attempt
evidently was to hide the evidences
Of the crime, if a crime was commit
ed.
The weapon found in the mans
hand was a shotgun, and one bar
rel was discharged. The hammer
of the other barrel was raised, bu t
there was no cap on the nipple.
The body was taken charge of
by the Coroner, who has it at the
morgue in this city. The author
tiles express the opinion that foul
play has been committed, and an
investigation was started at once
to find the perpetrators.
The clothing contained nothing
but a card bearing the following
inscription:
civilian S. Presser, Metropoli-
tan Club. North Essington, Darby
Creek, Delaware County" The
cunning outfit is of the best ma
terial. The mans corduroy cap
was found 20 feet from where the
body lay. Venable, it is believed
is "a Philadelphia man. Coroner
Fry was unable to find Presser. A
peculiar incident was that there
was no shot in the mans cap, al
though he was shot in the head,
right back of-the left ear.

they will never be excelled, as the
fanciers that are handling them will
doubtless continue to improve them,
and will in that way keep pace with
the Improvement of less important
breeds. The bronze variety was pro
duced by crossing the wild turkey
cock upon the domestic turkey hen,
and the produce was atterward i'm
proved by careful selection and breed
ing. Cocks of this variety have been
known to weigh from 80 to 40 pounds
and the hens as high as 25 pounds.
The query naturally arises. What
weights will be attained in the next
fifty years. if the present rate of
progress is kept un?" Young COB

Fruit Notes.

Fruit Notes.
From the most recent weekly re-
ports issued by the Climate and Crop
Service of the Weather Bureau, we
gather the following information con-
corning fruit prospects:
Georgia. - Peaches. apples, pears
and plums continue to rot and these
fruits are below normal In quality and
quantity. The dry weather has given
q decided set back to the water melon
crop.
Illinois.-The apple crop ranges
from very poor to very fine. In some
localities the prospects have been i'm
proved by the rain. Though in some
places the peach prospects are fair,
they are generally very poor.
Iowa-The average condition Of
apples is IS, plums so. grapes 65.
Maryland and Delaware.-A further.
thought slight, decrease In fruit pros
poets is noted throughout the section,
due to continued falling and to q
measurable loss of good fruit by
wind gusts. Some spraying is being
done in the orchards of Washington
county. Early apples are now ripe.
with poor to medium yields, affording
an ample supply for home use in most
localities, but not many for market.
Peaches continue to drop freely. ex-
cept in the southeast where they are
holding fairly we'll and still promise
moderately good yields. Some april
cots are now ripe in Prince Georges 9
county JaDan plumS aro rinoninp in
Cecil, and are falling off freely in
Anne Arundel.
Michigan.-Cherries are yielding
only moderately and in some cases
poorly. Plums indicate a light crop.
but apples, pears and peaches COM
tinue promising.
Missouri-The apple crop continues
to decline and little more than one
third of crop for the state is now
indicated.
Pennsylvania.-Appl- - Ind peaches
are dropping in nearly all sections; /;
cherries are good in some districts
and in others failure; and the con
ditions are not such as to warrant
expectations of the usual berry crop
Higher temperatures are needed to
promote growth and maturity.
Observation-Disclosures cherries
currants and other small fruits have
ripened very rapidly and improved
somewhat in quality during the past
few days. The prospects for apples
Is generally discouraging although in
some localities the crop will be fair.
Cranberries are in good condition.

Protect Orchard Soil.

In discussion on Orcharding H
Aug" stine said: l noticed particularly
in the Missouri state meeting that
tltere is general feeling that the
soil is being injured by exposure to
the hot sun during the summer.
am talking now of an orchard that is
not covered all over and shaded all
over. They think thai the soil is be.
ing injured by the constant exposure
from year to year to the hot season,
especially in central Illinois, where
we have this black soil, where the
suns rays are terrible, and over in
Missouri they feel that they must do
something occasionally once in two or
three years at least they must seed it
down to clover or something else, to
lN,vent the bare ground being exposed
to the action of the hot sun, and that
has been my impression. l do not
believe in leaving the weeds to grow
and ripen, but the weeds are naturally
there, and sometimes you can't get
a stand Of clover or anything else, so
as to have the ground protected for
wear but if you have the weeds
and NOV them just as soon as they
get to be of some size and keep on at
that, you are obtaining a mulch to
retain the moisture, a great deal more
than it evaporates, in my way of
thinking.
