WHOLE TOWN TURNS "SPOTTER"
Every Man, Woman and Child Watch
Conductors.

GLASTONBURY, Conn.,, Dec. H.
This town has organized itself int a
corps of spoilers" Every man, wO-
man and child who rides on a street
car is bound and beholden to watch
the cash register. Out of their math-
ematical calculations the town expects
to nab thieving street car conductors,
and at the same time-and what is
more to the pOint-persuade the street
car company that it is making enough
money to lower its fare between here
and South Glastonbury.
The town has beer asking for a re-
duction of fare for a long time. The
street car company told the petitioners
on every occasion that it was not max
ing enough money. The townspeople
got so enthusiastic in their crusade
for lower fares that they organized an
association which met Saturday night.
81 o d to South Glastonbury yester-
day and 1 kept tabs on the conductor.

is supposed to have been accidentally
discharged.
For some time Long has been an
habitue OF saloons about the lower part
of the town. Several months ago he
married a woman who a short time ago
left him and went to Aberdeen. His
wife announced that she would have
nothing more to do with him Since
then he is said to have given out init
nations that he would end mis- life.
Saturday night he spent considerable
time writing letters.
The deceased was a native of Ohio
and "a years of age. He has been a
resident of this city for about two
ears. At one time he was a soldier,
having been discharged from the army
here. AS far as known he has no rela-
tives here.

A searching party was out all day to-
day dragging the Nachez, and the
Yakima rivers, where he is supposed
to have been lost, without result. 1t is
waylaid and his body thrown among
the sagebrush somewhere along the
road between here and the Wenas
valley.

of whom, Miss Mabel Adams, was to
be married Sunday, the 9th, to Wes-

had been issued. When he left to
see Miss Ambrosia Adams he took an
invation with him to her, and together
they were to attend the wedding Sun
| day.
When he did not show up here
| Saturday nor at Miss Adams home in
the Wenas, their friends became
alarmed and started out to hunt for
him.. 1t was learned at. the livery
stable that the horse he had ridden
had been found by some boys Thurs
day, running at large in the Selah
valley, and that the boys had sold it
to a Swede for $1O.The Swede came
to town with the horse, thus leading
to the discovery of the disappearance
of the young man.
In going and coming from the We
mas, the Nachez river, on account of
the flood carrying away the bridge, had

courts and declared constitutional and
there is no reason why it should not be
enforced. First-class fruit cannot be
grown without spraying"
Further he says: 81 want to insist
on taking out the old trees that are in
fected with San Jose scale, especially
in the larger towns. Many of the
shade trees are so near to buildings
that they cannot be sprayed without
much expense or injury to the build
nigs. 1t would be much better to take
them out. The law requires that di-
seased trees must be d~isinfected. Sc it
is not only necessary to spray the
trees. but to use the right material and
do the work thoroughly. The lime
sulphur spray is the only one that
should be used"

USE LOG DRAG ON ROADS
Scheme Of Salem Farmers Proves Good
One in View of Results,

SALEM, Or, Dec. 12.-With the
heavy rains Of the past week the far
mers who believe in good roads have
returned to the use of the road drag.
County Judge ]. H. Scott has instruct
ed the road supervisors to make use
of the drag as much as possible. The
drag is a simple, inexpensive and eff
fectual device. One piece of road on
which the drag experiment has been
used is hat leading from the city to
Silverton. 1t joins the piece of maca-
dam road built last summer by the
government experts and some have
gone so far as to favor the dragged
highway in preference to the macad-
amized road. For three miles the far
mers have made a most successful test
of the log drag. After its use the sur
face of the o is smooth, with all
the c~hucknoles and wagon tracks filled
up. On the surface the road has a
fact that the road was not dragged last
year. When the experiment is made
surface becomes smooth and hard.
The county court will use all means
throughout the county.

PISTOL KILLS VICTIM
Roy Long Reaches into Drawer For
Candle When Gun Drops and
ExpIodes.

VANCOUVER, Wash, Dec. 12.-Roy
Long died early this morning at st. JO-
seph's hospital, from accident of suicide
at the Old Kentucky Home saloon. The
bullet entered the right side of the
head, just back of and over the eye,
and the injured man was unconscious
almost from the first. The bullet was
found and removed, but Long died
shortly afterwards.
From statements made to the police
it appears that Long had been engaged
temporarily as barkeeper in the saloon.
About 5 o'clock his helper about the
place was sent to the cellar to get
wood. He asked Long to give him a
candle. To secure the candle, Long at
tempted to open a drawer behind the
bar. Besides the candles, the drawer
contained a revolver. In attempting to
open the drawer, it dropped from his
grasp to the floor. In falling the pistol
