RIOT OF CRIME
 PREVAILS IN CITY Officers Unable to Gei the Situation In Hand--- Bad
 Gang is Abroad

Within the past few weeks the off, cers complain that Bisbee and Lowell have filled up with tramps, burglars and hold-Up meh. They are unable : to arrest the burglars, they claim, be- 5 cause of the many people who are just now coming to this city, and with whom the burglars mingle.
 Within the past ten days two crimi- nal assaults. one on a young girl and another or a woman have been at tempted, together with eight burgla- res and two hold-ups This breaks the record for crimes that have been committed in Bisbee for the same length of time in the history of the town.
 Early yesterday morning Kenney Brothers meat market, near the o. K. stables was broken into and the money till tapped. An entrance was made by prying the front door off the hinges. Several pounds of meat were also taken. No definite clue has been found to the perpetrators of this job or any of the several others accom- plished in the city during the week.
 Police officers believe there is an organized gang of till tappers now do ing business in Bisbee. The Miners saloon till was tapped, there being Sl5 stolen there. Hunters drug store was entered yesterday morning and the money till forced and about $50 taken. The Kenney Brothers butcher shop was the third business establishment which suffered, al though but three dollars were secur- ed. The following is list of the bur glaries committed within the past ten days without the burglars being caught:
 Miners Saloon, Hunters Drug Store, Leroy Store, Kenney Brothers Butch CT Shop and the Blue Front. Beside these were the two hoId-ups on the Naco Road.
 Hunters drug store was burglarized yesterday morning and 80 taken from the till. and several boxes of candy and other articles were also taken. En- trance was made through window on Broadway. An envelope containing s25 in bills. which belonged to Grif- fifth & HuEtman was taken from the store. The officers have no clue as to who committed the burglary.
 From the manner in which the store was entered the officers believe the robbery was done by boys. The fact that they seemed to be after candy rather than articles of more value is one thing which leads the officers to this belief. The officers watched all the stores yesterday expecting to catch the boys spending the money. So far no clue has been found that will lead to the burlgars

INSTRUCTIVETALK ON STRAWBERRIES
Eugene II. Learned of Los Angeles California
Talks to CheswOId Grange on the "GrOw-
Ing of Strawberries on Pacific Coast.

CHEswoLD, Oct. 81 Eugene H.
Learned of near Los Angeles, CAL, is
an interesting visitor with relatives,
the families of L. d. Learned in Ches
void and III. d. Learned near Ches-
void. Mr.. Learned is engaged in hor-
ticulture and has 20 acres in strawber-
ries. At the session of Rural Grange
last Friday evening, Mr.. Learned was
pressed for talk and made some won
derful statements of the prolific growth
of strawberries across the continent.
Fifteen thousand quarts per acre, he
stated is the minimum and forty thous-
and quarts is the maximum for the
Brandywine, which, with them is the
best paying variety. This is done on
land subjected to thorough system of
irrigation and the fruitage extends
from April to January 1st From the
20 acre plot they are now picking and
shipping from fifty to seventy-five
crates daily. This fruit finds mar
ket in the western states. The Guilt
walton is only by hoes or wheel hoes.
The labor is done by Japanese they
having proved superior to all others.
The strawberry rows are spaced twenty
inches apart and the plants are placed
from eight to ten inches apart in the
row. In shipping it is customary for
number of growers to form themsel
YES into an association for mutual pro
lection and to have their fruit put Oh
market without being sliced up among
iobbers, hucksters and a number o.
agents These associations are moi
, capitalized necessarily but each mem
Der being pledged, is put upon his
, honor. Mr.. Learned however SAID
strawberry culture is likely to be over
done in Southern California some da!
as he Understandable has in Delaware
: The same trouble with farmers rush
: ing into good thing exists with IL
: that be is told exists in Delaware
t The members of Rural Grange wer
It much pleased at the pointers throw

Farm LIFE MUST BE MORE ATTRACTIVE.
Newark Ledger Suggests That Shorter Hours
BE Held Out As Sop to Farm Help.

There is general complaint among
farmers over the scarcity of farm help.
Some farmers are seriously consider
ing abandoning farming because of
this trouble. 1t has gotten to a point
where it is serious problem to solve.
Men who worked on the farm several
years ago can now be found in our
mills and factories, where they claim
they have regular hours. The farmer
must consider what he mus t do to re-
tain or attract laborers. He must
awake to the fact that he must offer at
fractions in shorter hours, and if posi-
BILE, better Accommodations. The time
has undoubtedly passed when the
hours on the farm were from sun to
sun. While there is no better or
healthier life than on the farm, it is
hard to teach this lesson to individuals
who can find ready employment III
mills and factories, where the hours
generally from a. m, to 6 p. M, witt
part holiday on Saturdays. We be-
lieve that if farm life is more attractive
the farmer will have less trouble in Sc
curing sufficient help. This is merely
a suggestion. Newark (Del.) Ledger

PREDICT AN UNUSUALLY SEVERE WINTER.
PrognosticatOrs See the Signs Ia the Workings
of Nature and Draw Positive Conclusions.

1t is said by the observing ones tina
the approaching winter will be unus-
xally severe The katydid has APP
peared, say these winter prognostica-
tors, and within six weeks after her
first song frost is sure to appear. An
other sign pointed out to sustain this
contention is that bushes this year are
plentiful throughout the country, and
this is said to be natures way of pro-
viding refuge for the birds in time of
storm. Then citations are made of the
crop of holly berries, the thickness of
corn husks, and the enormous yield of
acorns, chestnuts beech nuts and other
fruit of the forest upon which birds
and beasts depend for food during the
winter The unusual activity of the
barn mice is still another sign ola long
and severe winter. These little an
imals have already begun the work OF
constructing their nests, and observers
agree that they are making them un-
usually warm and cozy. All the above
signs are said to forecast rough and
severe winter

UNPOPULAR DOG LAW MAY
CAUSE COUNCIL LAWSUIT
CLAYTON HUNSICKER, TRAVELLING SALES
MAN, SHOT BY DOG-KILLER CUMMINS.
Claims he was Inundated and Wounded"
and Unless Council will Compromise with
him be Threatens TO Sue for Damage.

The Town Council at its regular |
meeting Friday was taken somewhat !
by surprise by a letter purporting to
be prospective lawsuit growing out
of the shooting of dogs on the streets.
The matter came before them in an
official way by letter to President
Reynolds from Attorney Charles How
ell LeFevre, Esq representing Clay
ton T. Hunsicker of Collegeville, Pa.
Mr.. Hunsicker is a travelling man and
while on his way to the station Thurs
! day morning to take a southbound
train he passed Dog-killer Joseph r.
| Cummins, on west Commerce street
near the basket mill, who was just in
the act of shooting McAfee's dog,
which was running at large without a
muzzle. Cummins fred and killed
the dog but Hunsicker alleges that
some of the stray shot penetrated his
trousers, one in particular passed
through his stocking and undergar-
ment and pierced his leg to the bone
Just above the ankle. He claims to
have been Inundated as we'll as
wounded and wishes redress for the
way in which he was treated. Attor-
ney LeFevre stated in his letter that
Hunsicker was willing to compromise
the matter if the Council would make
him satisfactory payment, otherwise
he would bring suit against the town
: for several thousand dollars. Council
was given until today, Wednesday,
October 3D., to make reply. The mat.
' ter was discussed at length but Coun
: Gil refused to take any action, declar
/. ing that they knew nothing about il
g except street rumor and could not &C
a intelligently until they had heard tn
, evidence. Some were in favor of re
s pealing the law and others were of the
r opinion that Officer Cummins SHOULD
s be dismissed. It is rather expected
n however, that suit will be brough
:, against the town. The majority O
r Council who believe the ordinance t
IS be. an effective one, feel that they ar
;, being imposed upon, that Hunsickel
l. was not injured, and that he is being
n put up to it by some who are oppose
N to the dog ordinance. Feeling thi
Ie way they are disposed to let the Gao
y go to Court and be tested. The affai
:, has caused much comment and lover
es of dogs who protest against the inhun
s. ane provision of the law, are rattle
L.; anxious that some test should be mad
ra of it, despite the fact of the town b
IN ing sued for several thousand dollar
d. Outside of the dog question but lit
ID of Importance was discussed. Claim
lg for $297. go were allowed including
"a, bill of Jos eph r. Cummins for $12.
at for killing II dogs Since the law h
ill been in effect the latter has killed ov
on 20 dogs for which he has been paid
ce the town 70 cents head.
