CARRIED OUT HIS THREAT
Saloon Keeper Deliberately1KilIed
at WiIliamsport.
DEED OF A DRUNKEN MAN
Committed il the Presence Of a Number
Of Witnesses Who Were Too Sur

A -hlooded murder was com
mitted at Williamsport Wednesday
when f. p. Hull. saloonkeeper, was
shot and instantly killed at the door
Of his saloon by Levi Montgomery.
The murderer used a shotgun. blow
ing of the left side and top Of his vie.
TINS head.
When the shooting occurred dozen
or more white and colored men were
in the saloon, but they were so fright.
ened that they made no effort to stop
Montgomery, who walked away and
out OF town.
George Anderson, n witness Of the
shooting, said Montgomery, who was
under the influence of liquor, had been
In the saloon for some time. He was
qnarrelsome and threatened to cut
several men with knife. Hull asked
Montgomery to leave. and finally took
hold OF him and forced him into a
chair. Montgomery resisted and Hull
told him he must behave. Mont.
gomery replied, You'll pay for this
I'll get my gun and kill yon.''
Montgomery then left and several
men in the saloon warned Hull that
he was liable to carry out his threat
Montgomery then went to his home,
two doors away, and securing a
double barreled shotgun, returned to
the saloon. Mr.. Hull was standing
near the door when Montgomery. who
was on the outside, opened the door
and as Hull faced him. Montgomery
raised the weapon and fired.
Before the shooting Montgomery
cnt at George Anderson with knife.
AS soon as the occupants OF the sa-
loon recovered they started after
Montgomery, but he was gone.
Montgomery was caught after 10
O'Clock by Deputy Sheriff Alexander
and Policeman Thompson He was
taken TO Jail at Hagerstown.
THE VICTIM AND MURDERER.
Hull was aged about 80 years and
was married. He leaves wife aud
six children, who were In the house
adjoining the saloon at the time ne.
was killed. He was formerly OF Indian
Springs and moved 10 Williamsport
about two years ago.
Montgomery is considered as being
irrational and dangerous when under
the influence of liquor. He is about
55 years old and served in the Union
army and was a pensioner. He is not
married. About 10 years ago he
served a term in the penitentiary for
stealing.
The murder created considerable
excitement in the town, and crowd
soon gathered at the scene. Justice
J. L. Hawken took charge of the re.
mains and took immediate steps in
the matter. A jury summoned, and an
inquest was held today when Mont
gomery was held for court on the
charge Of wilfnl murder.
On the drive FROM Williamsport to
Hagerstown Montgomery asked De-
putty Alexander several times why ne
was under arrest. He claimed TO
have no knowledge of having shot
Hull He seemed in dazed state,
and nothing definite in the way of a
statement could be gotten out Of him.

Good Farming Pays.

Gem State Rural: 1t is not dlth-
cult to grow so bushels of wheat to
the acre here, says MI. G.. D.
Stafford, one of our best farmers.
Last year Mr.. Stafford produced SO
bushels of wheat to the acre, which
weighed up 66 % pounds to the
bushel.
This year, from 20A acres, he
harvested 1918 bushels, besides
feeding some, before threshed, to
the horses, cattle and chickens.
This was done, too, notwithstand-
ing the very unusual frost of June
9th, which injured more or less
grains and other crops. Mr.. Stafford
plows the ground shallow, in the
fall. 1t had been in clover and
blue grass. The following spring
he goes over it with a disk, and
"
follows it with a harrow. In seed
ing he uses a disk drill. and cross
drills, that is, he drills half each
way, and is particular to leave the
surface Of the land thoroughly pull
verified, so that it forms a dust
mulch.
Mr.. Stafford says that some peo-
pie seem to think that he puts toe
much work on preparing the
ground and in seeding, but he is
satisfied that it pays. His exper-
fence and observation have taught
him that seed we'll put in is more
than half the battle in growing
good crops. He puts in his grain
quite early and irrigates when thu
crop needs it. He uses the blue
stem wheat and finds it the best 10
milling purposes. Last year h
sold most of his wheat at the gran
airy for $3.50 per hundred, and O
course finds the crop a prohtabl

once a week. Other mornings, If it

Always clean hardwood floors

The Lewiston Teller has been

A Lewiston special of last week
says:
Judge Steele this afternoon re-
fused an order continuing the re
ownership for the Teller Publishing
company. The court ordered that
the sheriff take the plant in hand
and continue printing the election
ballots, allowing $40 a day ex-
penses for three days. The court
announced that unless some settle
ment was arrived at between inter
ested parties by tomorrow morning
at 10 O'Clock, he would place the
property permanently in the hands
of the sheriff, which means the
plant will be idle until sold. The
paper was issued this evening, con
trary to expectations, but contained
no statement in regard to the trou
ble."

RUGS and Floors.

Many women have the mistaken
idea that hardwood floors are diff
cult to keep clean, and they sweep
and scour and sew carpet all their
lives with a notion that by so doing
they r saving themselves work.
But if they knew how to stain
floors in the first place and to take
care of them in the second they
could save themselves work every
day of their lives, lessen the burden
of house cleaning about one-half
and have their homes infinitely
more wholesome and hygienicallv
clean.
Nothing is SO productive of
moths and germs as carpets, fitting
up close and snug to the side walls
and a thorough cleansing once a
year rarely cleans them out, says
the New York Tribune. A year
will furnish a generation of germs,
and effectual germ destroyers some
times destroy the carpet along with
its inhabitants.
Rugs, of course, can be cleaned
once a week easily, and during the
week any single rug that has wan
ontly acquired soil AN be brushed
or shaken by itself without disturb
ing the rest of the room for a sec
ond. Lightweight rugs of ingram

In former days it has been the
custom of the Democrats to hold

after the Republicans have held
