Doctoring the Trees.

Mr.. Simon. owner of an estate at
Allaire, Morbihan, France, having
proved that the death of numerous
apple trees was the result of an affec-
ton of the rootlets, rendering them
unable to draw from the ground the
elements necessary for the life of the
tree, conceived the idea of artificial
nutrition by INJECTING directly into

died the home of a highly respected
citizen with bullets, terrorized his
Family. and, according to reports, car
ried their victim, j. Wesley Bare
field, to the woods near his home and
roughly handled him.
Mr.. Barefield is about 35 years OF
age. He is a nephew of the Rev
Mitchell Barefeld. venerable min
lister of the Cerulean neighborhood,
and has wife and several children.
He resides on a farm about three
miles west of Gracey and Is an ener-
getic and useful citizen.
He Is not member of the Plant
ers Protective association and has
been strong in his opposition to the
organization, being especially bitter
since a visit from night riders last
fail. 1t is said that Mr.. Barefeld at
tributes this visit to his persistent re-
fusal to join the association. On that
occasion gang of masked men went
to his farm, broke into his barn and
pulled out a large quantity of his to-
bacco.
They tore up part of the crop,
scattered some about the place and
threw the remainder into a pond. Mr.
Barefeld was among the first of the
Trigg countians to suffer from the
depredations of the marauders. He
had feared the visit would be re-
peated and, 1t is said, went armed
for several months and kept the
place guarded.
,,At midnight Saturday, a band of
masked men numbering between %
and 40 went to Barefield's house.
The full details of what followed are
difficult to obtain. The people of Gra-
cey and that vicinity are circumspect
In their statements. Some refuse pos
itively to discuss the matter. A few
others tell rather reluctantly what
they have heard. But the neighbor-
hood is undoubtedly alarmed, and
no one wishes to incur the vengeance
of the riders.
The appearance of the miscreants
was signalized by the firing of a vol
ley of bullets at the home of ME-
Bareheld in which he and HIS wife
and children we're peacefully sleeping
Sprlnging fro mtheir beds the family
saw that the house was surrounded
by masked men. A light was burning
in the bedroom, and Mrs. Barefield
ran to this and blew out the flame.
Her action was noticed by the men
who were peering through the win
dow, and they shouted to her that
tey would burn down the house I'M

lamp. She obeyed them.
