DEAD BODY
UNIDENTIFIED

The police have been unable to
identify the body of the supposed
suicide which was found in the I'M
derbrush near Sixteenth avenue in
Lidgerwood yesterday afternoon by
small boys. There was nothing on
the person which would furnish a
clew. A revolver was found under
the body. Evidently the man stood
against tree, fired the fatal bullet
into his mouth, then fell forward
over the gun. A tree nearby is
spattered with blood and the bark
is Clipped from 1t. The suicide evil
IDENTIFY occurred late Saturday.
A Lewiston firm, Fred l.. Beck
with, is stamped in the sweatband
of the hat. A paper addressed to
Herman wilkins was found in a
pocket. Wilkins Is an aged ranch
err of Lewiston. There Is a posi-
bility that the suicide may be one
of the Wilkins grown sons, al
though the dead mans general APP
pearance does not fit any of the
wilkins sons.

BRINGS BACK PLAN
FOR CARNIVAL

Asa Braddick, who while in the
east visited Omaha, Neb., and gath
cred some data of their big annual
carnival there for the 10000 club
returned last night and today made
his report to the trustees of the
club who met at a luncheon at
Davenport's Mr.. Braddrick stated
that the big t.Gng of the Omaha
carnival is the Illuminated floats,
The illumination is done by run
ming the floats on the streetcar
tracks and getting the power for
the illumination from the trolley
wires. The carnival is held down
town in a big enclosure and each
night something different is fea-
tured.
The 10000 club is thinking of
holding a carnival after the scheme
of the Omaha carnival in Spokane
next year, probably in September.
1t would be far enough from the
Interstate fair so as one would not
detract from the other.

MONR0ESTREEI
SOLUTION

The building of new bridge or
the enlargement of the present one
at Bridge avenue is being urged
as an easy solution of the question
of a bridge at Monroe street. The
present bridge can be widened to
100 feet and supported in sub
Stantial manner or new bridge
can be built at a fraction of the
cost of a bridge at Monroe street.
Monroe street could be converged
into this bridge on both sides of
the river and as far as practical
uses are concerned would render
as good service to the general pub
lie as a bridge at Monroe street.

PUBLIC SCHOOL FOR THE
COPELAND NEIGHRORHOOD

A petition for the establishment of
a public school in the Copeland neigh
borhood was presented to County
Superintendent Goodrich Saturday,
with the signatures of the leading
residents of that vicinity. A census
of the school population that would
come within the proposed district has
been made, and the list shows eighty
five children within the school age
who would attend this school. Mr..
Goodrich assured Messrs. Copeland,
who presented the petition, that the
school would be established and that
a teacher appointed, as soon
as the examinations are held, which
will be Friday. Messrs. Copeland ex-
pect to build a school house at once
at a convenient location in the neigh
borhood. This new school will be
about four and a half miles from

Ball Games

Following is the report of the series
of games played recently between the
Brownsville and Beeville teams, as

Monday Brownsville appeared on
the diamond for the first of three
games. This game was poor exhi-
bition of the national sport up to
the last half of the eighth inning
when, with the score to in
Brownsville's favor, Beeville tied the
score and in the ninth won by a score
of 10 to 8. That well-known slab
artist Ferguson, was on the firing
line for the visitors while Lott twirled
for the home team. Ferguson was
too much for our boys, sending Is of
them to the bench over the windmill
route, but, everybody hit the right
time in the lucky eight" The feat
ures of the game were B. Beasley's

The second game was a good one
from the start. Brownsville ran in
two scores in the first spasm and one
in the second on errors by Bee
vile, after which they settled down
and neither side scored the remainder
of the game. Joseph Kring, former

RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
Fortunate Escape of Driving Party
From What Might Have Been
Very Serious Results.

What came near being serious ac-
cident occurred yesterday morning
on Seventh street, wnen a horse be-
ing driven to a surrey, containing
Mrs. Floyd Layton, Mrs. Gill of Ray
mondville, Mrs. J. w. Davis and the
two children of Mrs. Floyed Layton,
became frightened, owing to the line
being caught under his tail and be-
gun kicking. After entirely demol-
ishing the dashboard and still not
succeeding in dislodging the line, the
horse started at a break-neck speed
down the street. After running about
half block, he made a turn down
side street but ran between tele-
phone pole and the fence, the surrey
striking the pole and throwing out
the occupants and overturning on
The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1908-08-31

them. The surrey being damned be-
tween the pole and the fence, made it
impossible for the horse to continue
farther. A Mexican, whose name
could not be learned, came up at this
juncture and caught the animal.
None of the occupants were hurt,
excepting, Master Louis Layton, who
suffered slight scalp wound and
bad bruise over the eye. The top of
the surrey was torn out but no other
damage was done to the vehicle That
no more serious injury was done to
the occupants of the surrey seems al
most miraculous.

they should be watered again in one

TranspIanting.
To get the plants out where the
ground is hard 1 use a single cultiva-
tor with the narrowest tooth and run
it very close to the plants. cutting OF
the roots and loosening the ground,
so they can be pulled up easily,
, without tearing the tops
On very mellow ground the onions
can be pulled without the cultivator
to loosen the ground.
As you pull the onions either with
one or both hands, place the tops all
one way, and be careful to keep them
in an even line; then with a butchers
knife cut of fully one-half the tops;
pressing on the root side with the
other hand, so as to make it easier
and better job.
Another way is to use large sheep
shears, and some trim the roots too;
which males them easier to separate
for the transplanters.
Usually a very swift planter sets
out ten thousand plants a day so it
will take, on an average of ten good
planters tosset out an acre a day of
one hundred thousand. Generally it
takes twelve to fourteen hands to set
out an acre a day, so that where they
are getting along faster than this you
may knox that they are not putting
the plants in-skipping or other poor
work
We contract this at two and half
cents ;per hundred feet.
These same swift planters, work
ing by the day, will do but half as
much, and during transplanting time,
we need all the help we can get and
rush the work as fast as possible.
We must have a boss to see that
the planters are doing their work
properly. and refuse to receive their
work until satisfactorily done.
We deliver the plants to the plant
ers.
Another way of contracting is
about ten dollars an acre. and some
contract at twelve to fifteen and have
the planters dig up and trim their
plants; but I prefer the former meth
cd.
See that no great number of plants
are wasted, by making them use up
the good plants; otherwise the plants
left scattered about will be appalling.
Keep the planters from scattering
plants too far ahead, and especially
near noon, when the sun is shining, to
be left to wilt.
Guard your fresh plants in baskets
or boxes, otherwise the planters will
tumble them over-tangle them all
leave exposed to the wealth
