$500 CUP RACE.
Trophy Offered by Upton for Ocean
Race.

Trophy Offered by Upton for Ocean
Race.
It has been decided that the Allan
tic Yacht club shall be custodian of
the $2500 cup which Sir Thomas Lip
ton has offered for an ocean race from
Sandy Hook lightship to the Needles
in May next. The cup will be a chal-
lenge trophy and Sir Thomas hopes
that it will become an international
prize of prominence. He has been as
sured by distinguished yachtsmen that
it will be raced for by famous ocean
going boats. The Atlantic Yacht club
will give three additional cups, one
of the value of $500, to the first
yacht finishing; one of $500, to go to
the second yacht, and still another of
5000 to go to the third boat. The re-
instructions of the race will be few.
Each yacht will take it's own time at
the finish, and all allowances barred.
Sir Thomas believes that the Ger
man emperor may send his Meteor
over for the race and that the Amer
lean yachts probably will take part
in the Dover-Heligoland contest and
others at Kiel. IL is believed also
that the king of England will be in
terested in the contest.

INDIANS and BAD HRISkEY
BLACKFOOT INDIAN RESERVA-
TION SCENE OF CRIMES.
w. A. Kesupkst and Family and TIVE
Others Foully Murdered-All Black
foot lndians-Cause of Assault IN
known-Four Indians Placed Under
Arrest-Great Excitement Prevails.

Browning, Mont, Oct. 13.-Word
reaches here that as a result of a
drunken row on the Blackfoot Indian
reservation, in western Montana,
seven people are dead and two
wounded The dead are w. A. Ke-
supkst and Mrs. Kesupkst, their
three children and Susaw Big Road
and Mrs. Little Plume. The wound
ed are Alice Big Road and j. Little
Plume. All are Blackfoot Indians.
The attacking party was composed
of four or five Indians.
The cause OF the quarrel which was
followed by the tragedy has not been
fully ascertained. number OF In
dams held a carousal. In some man
ner it is said Kesupkst incurred the
anger OF several of the Indians and,
after he left the scene of the carousal,
they continued to drink and finally
started to massacre the Kesupkst
family. The Kesupkst family, who oc-
cupied a large house, were all asleep
when the slaughterers began their
work. The fiends broke into the house
and fired upon the husband and faith
er as he lay in bed. He was shot
through the head, dying instantly.
Mrs. Kesupkst, awakened by the
cry, jumped from the bed before
second shot could be fired and, seiz-
ing her youngest child, ran scream
ing from the house. She was follow
ed and captured. She struggled to
keep possession OF her child, when
one of the attacking party placed a
revolver at the head OF the infant
and fired. The ball crashed through
the child's brain and entered the
mothers heart, killing both instantly.
In the meantime Susaw Big Road
and J. Little Plume, who attempted
to defend themselves, were over
powered Big Road was shot through
the head and Little Plumes throat
was cut badly and his arm stabbed.
The other two children of the Ke-
supkst family were shot through the
head and Alice Big Road received a
bullet in the leg. Mrs. Little Plume
was apparently the last victim, her
throat being cut from ear to ear
or the victims, Alice Big Road will
recover, but Little Plume is in a criti-
cal condition. 1t is impossible to learn
the truth of regarding the cause OF
the assault Four Indians have been
placed under arrest, and the greatest
of excitement prevails on the western
: part Of the reservation near where the
massacre occurred.

stopped at all the shops and 1000 men
are idle. Supplies are short, as no

PRUNING FRUIT TREES.
Every variety Presents its Peculiar
Problems Wbich 1Iuss he stud
led by the Grower.

Every kind OF tree or plant, in fact,
very individual, presents its own pc
tuliar problems to the pruner. Hence
no arbitrary rules can be given. To
yo the work most iudiciously the OPP
GATOR must understand the prin-
ciples involved, then apply them To
each case. Skill in pruning can come
only with experience and practice.
Perhaps the most important thing
~ to observe the manner in which
the fruit is borne. For instance, an
apple or pear tree bears its fruit
mostly on fruit spurs" and so would
not be pruned in the same way as a
peach tree, which bears its fruit only
on last seasons growth. ounce
tree, which produces its fruit on the
tips of the growth made the present
season, would naturally be pruned
differently from either an apple or
peach tree. Likewise, the correct
pruning of grapes is based on the
fact that the shoots of the present
season produce this years crop. The
same principle in pruning holds true
that is, the manner in which the
fruit is borne should govern the man
ner of pruning.
In general way, it may be said
in regard to tree fruits that all dead
branches should be removed and the
tops of the trees he kept sufficiently
open to admit an abundance of sun
light for the coloring of the fruit.
Reasonably open tops are also Of
great advantage in spraying the
trees and in har/ sting the fruit
The natural ha/ of the tree should
suggest the f/rm to be adopted by
the pruuer. In other words. tree
the branches of which naturally
droop cannot well be pruned to an
upright form, and tree with II
strong tendency toward forming an
upright head cannot readily be made
to assume decidedly spreading
form. OF course these natural tend
encies can be influenced in a measure
by the manner of pruning, but they
cannot be entirely overcome. The
tops should be kept symmetrical and
as well balanced as possible.
The pruning of the various kinds OF
small fruits is based on the same
general principles as the pruning of
fruit trees-that is, the manner in
character of the growth should gov
ern the method of pruning.-Farm-
ers' Bulletin, No. 161
