PRESIDENT GETS
4OO-POUND BEAR
The Canebrake Hunt Is at Last Sue
cesSful.
SHOT THROUGH THE HEART

Stamboul, La, Oct. 19.-At last the
presidents hunt in the louisiana
canebrakes has been rewarded. He
has killed a bear. The killing was the
elimination of a fOur-hour chase
which the president made through the
thicket, following the trail as indi-
Gated by the bowling of the dogs. The
bear is a fine specimen of the bruin
family and weighs not far from 400
pounds.
When the hunt was resumed there
was a determination on the part OF
Ben Lilley to round up bear for the
president to shoot at, as he feared
with the time for the presidents stay
here fast drawing to close that he
would not be successful.
Setting the best old dogs and also
taking with him the seven trained
hounds which the Osborn brothers
took to the camp the day before, he
started out in the vicinity of the place
where the bear which swan the lake
a few days ago came out Of the water.
Some time after noon the dogs picked
up a trail and the president, who was
following close behind Ben Lilley
through the thickest of the canebrake.
left his horse behind and struck out in
hot pursuit.
At times the cane was so dense that
he was forced to stop and cut his way
through, but managed to keep within
hearing distance of the hounds all the
way. Several times he was close upon
the heels of the dogs and caught sight
of his game but did not have an Op-
portunity to shoot.
Once the dogs were so close that
he feared to shoot lest some Of the
prize hounds of the Osborn pacl
should fall by the shot. Never once
according to Ben Lilley, who was be-
side the president all the time, did he
falter or fall back in the four hours
chase. although it seemed occasionally
that the bear, which was fighting Its
way through the dense thicket, woult
finally succeed in making its escape
Just before nightfall the chase led to ;
small opening in the canebrake, anC
when the president was within range
a distance of 60 or 70 yards, he lost NJ
time in raising his rifle to his shoulder
and just as the bear was again abou
to plunge inO the brake he fired.
The bullet went true to its mark, tn
bear falling almost in its tracks wit
a bullet through the heart. Ben Lii
ley says it was as good a shot unde
the circumstances as he would hav
been able to make himself, or as h
ever saw made by any huntel
Throughout the chase the presider
kept far ahead of the other hunters {

BLEW HIS HEAD OFF
Man Committed Suicide BY Exploding

Man Committed Suicide BY Exploding
Dynamite In His Mouth.
York, Pa, Oct. 1S.-Jacob Dettinger,
aged SO years, of this city, committed
suicide in an unusual manner Placing
a stick of dynamite in his mouth and
holding it in his right hand, Mr.. Det-
finger exploded the dynamite, blowing
his head almost entirely off and shat
tering the hand that held the explo-
sive.
The reason for the suicide is nearly
as strange as the manner of carrying
out the attempt. Last Tuesday Mr.
Dettinger, who was a well digger by
occupation, lost a sum of money said
to have been $40. He brooded over this
and finally began drinking heavily as
a result. This only served to make
him the more morbid. During drinking
bouts in the past he often threatened
to take his life. He entered the kitchen
of his boarding house with a stick OF
dynamite and some matches in his
hand
well, here goes. to end it ALL" be
said. He handled dynamite in his busi-
ness, and as he had often made such
threats before no attention was paid
to his words, but he passed into an
outhouse, and in few moments there
was loud explosion. His mangleC
body was quickly found and the coro
ner notified.

ARRESTED IN RUSSIA
Three Americans Locked Up In St.
Petersburg.

Petersburg.
st. Petersburg, Oct 21. - William
English Walling, of Indianapolis,
Ind; his wife and his sister-in-law,
Miss Rose Stransky, were arrested in
this city by force of gendarmes be-
cause of their association with sew
eral members of the Finnish Progress
sive party. They are still being held
at the gendarme headquarters.
Mr.. Walling is a wealthy Socialist.
He is a grandson of the late William
H. English, who was vice presidential
candidate in 1880, when General Han
cock ran for the American presidency.
For several years past Mr.. Walling
has taken an active interest in the
Russian struggle, and this is the third
time he has visited Russia.
The Firms with whom the Wallings
have been associating also were ar
rested. In this party there are three
men and one woman. The woman is
the wife of Professor Malmburg, of
Helsingfors University. The Firms
have been in St. Petersburg for sew
eral days. They have been under close
| police observation all the time. While
the Films, Mr.. and Mrs. Walling and
Miss Stransky were dining together
the entire party was taken into Gus

1t was impossible to learn what the
charge was against the three Ameri
cans. This will determine the accu

KILLED MURDER WITNESSES
Warning Philadelphia Chinese Fac
tions In Fierce Combat.


tions In Fierce Combat.
Philadelphia, Oct. 19.-The warning
factions of Chinese in this city, who
have periodically resorted to the use
of knives, pistols, and hatchets to set
tie their disputes. engaged in a fierce
combat in Chinatown, which resulted
in the death of Lee Dick and Lee Ting
md the probable fatal shooting of
Leoy Tong.
The authorities say the killing was
the result of a premeditated plan made
by members of the Hip Sing Tong So
ciety to assassinate witnesses who
were to have testified in the trial of
Hip Sing Tong men, charged with the
murder of Long Yung, on July last.
Long Yung was a member of the On
Leung Tong society and was shot
down and killed after he had given
testimony against Hip Sing Tong men
in another murder trial.
Just as the Hip Sing Tong men were
placed on trial for the murder of Yung,
Chinese, who the police say were
brought here from New York, Boston,
San Francisco and other cities, began
shooting in the streets of Chinatown
and riddled with bullets Lee Dick and
Lee Ting, a friend. Both were mem
bers of the On Leung Tong, and Dick
was to have been the star witness
against the Hip Sing men in the trial.
He was on his way to court when he
was shot down and killed, and the
case was postponed. Members of the
Leung Tong faction ran from their
headquarters and began shooting when
the first shots were fired and Leoy
Tong, a Hip Sing followers, was dan
gerously wounded. A general fight fol
lowed, in which many heads were bat
tered and several were slightly in
| jured. Wholesale arrests were made
by the police who descended upon the
Chinese settlement.

SHEEP AS GRUBBERs.
Probably Employed In Cleaning Up

Probably Employed In Cleaning Up
the Farm.
The writer has witnessed the clear
ing Of many thousands Of acres by the
grub hoe and ak at an expense for
labor that could have been done as
efectually by sheep without any ex-
pense, and at the same time the sheep
would have paid their way as they
proceeded with the work.
Where good sheep are employed as
grubbers there will be a tendency to
work them too hard. The owner, in his
anxiety to clear his land, will withhold
feed from his flock so that they will do
more effectual work and thus suffer
loss in thrift Of flock This is unwise
Sheep that are worked too hard will
seldom prove profitable, and one should
and not let this feature get in the way
of profitable fleece and a good sal.
able sheep.
Sheep can also be used as cleaners
about farm and the service they rem
der along this line is incalculable.
When turned in Stubble, they will pick
up any grain that may be left and will
also eat Of all kinds of weeds which
may be growing there and thus keep
them from going to seed. They will
clean up the fence rows and waste
places and do effectual service that
can be performed as cheaply in no 9th
er way. When turned in cornfields,
with proper restraint and manage
ment, they will clean up the growth of
weeds and fOxtail which has been al
lowed to grow in the corn without do
ing material damage to the growing
corn. Under proper management a
flock of sheep can be made to do as
good service as cleaners without doing
them any particular harm as could be
done by the best methods known to
manual labor, and that, too, without
any expense. In the employment Of a
hook of sheep as cleaners one must
not lose sight of the fact that they are
to be made profitable, and they should
not be "overwOrked" in a desire to rid
farm Of nOxious growth of any kind.

WlNTERLNe Mixers.
Uae Of SiIage When Pastures ARa
Killed by Frost.


Killed by Frost.
The COW that freshens in the fall,
say in October or November, is ready
to begin the winter in a robust condi-
ton. Her milking powers are not on
the wane, as is the case with spring
mixers. She is ready to meet the nat
ural setbacks of cold weather and dry
feed with a good, strong constitution
and a full flow of milk. In the spring
the change from hay to grass comes
just as she is beginning to fall off In
flow, and the green feed keeps her up
to top notch production Later, when
the drought and flies begin to bother,
you are losing on an old mixer, not q
fresh COW. This loss is naturally less
Utilize the siIO.
The old theory that silage, fed milk
is inferior milk is exploded. Systemat-
ic experiments have proved the CON
trary. The objections to the silo are
scarce. 1t is not an expensive thing
to build or operate, and it fills many a
want in the dairy world. Don't think
that silage is a pure winter feed. 1t
ter, spring, summer and fall, especially
in the fall. If there is silage to tide
over the dry pasture period the saving
in milk will be great When the pas
ture is killed by frost the fresh silage
will take it's place and avoid any fall
ing off in the flow. 1t will enable the
dairyman to reproduce very largely
summer conditions in the winter. The
use of such feed will depend upon cir
cumstances and the condition Of the
stock.
Pumpkins as Food.
Some dairymen advocate the use of
pumpkins at this time. They are all
right in their place, but their place Is
not the main part of a cows ration.
The pumpkin is about as valuable to
the COW in the way of nutrition as the
watermelon. is to man. We all like
watermelons, but I'VE would hardly
care to depend upon them for a work
ing diet
In conclusion, here is the main point
in wintering mixers, as given by an
Iowa man in Orange Judd Farmer:
Keep them so there are no poor pc
RODS. Avoid such by adjusting the
feed and conditions. Furnish, as large
ly as possible, summer conditions all
the year around. Grass Is the natural
food of the COW, and if she can always
have food of that nature she will keep

| need not give a list of the things
to plant. Look up the list recon-
mended by our society. That is what
it is for. Get the shrubs from home
nurseries or from your neighbors. If
you cannot afford to buy many Of a
kind, get a few and increase them by
layers by bending the limbs down and
covering them part way with earth.
II they do not root we'll, break them
a little below ground or notch them or
girdle them. They can't help roofing
then. You can grow most of the hardy
shrubs from cuttings, but you have to
watch cuttings closer. Get lots Of
shrubs some way. Then go out and
dig up some of the wild things and
bring them in. They will look entirely
different when they are domesticated.
Where Shall We Plant the Shrubs?
First, don't plant them all through
the front lawn. You cannot have
good shrubs and a good sod in the
same spot any more than you can
have good orchard and a good
meadow on the same piece Of ground.
Plant tho shrubs at the sides and rear
of the lawn. If you have a very large
place, plant them in groups in front of
the trees, which are themselves for
the most part along the sides and
back of the lawn. II you have no
room for trees, but the shrubs at the
side and back anyway. A few speci-
men shrubs, some especially choice
kinds standing out in front Of the
