STIRS OFFICER
DEATH OF GARDENER WILL BE
INVESTIGATED
Bullet Wound In Back of Neck of Man
Supposed to Have Killed Him
self Is Basis of ms
qulry

The position of a bullet wound on the
head of James jamie, truck gardener,
who was found dead in his home three
miles southeast of Compton Sunday,
has started Detective S. L. Browne of
the district attorneys office on an in
vestigation.
jamie, it was believed, had committed
suicide, and this was the verdict rem
dered by a coroner's jury, but when
the facts were brought to the attention
of the district attorney, and it was ex-
planned that one bullet left scar on
the back of Janie's neck, the affair
was believed to be one calling for an
inquiry.
Friends of jamie also have called on
the district attorney and urgently re-
uuested that the matter be looked into,
with a view to learning whether his
death was suicide or murder.
jamie was last seen alive Saturday
morning, and was in a cheerful frame
OF mind. Little was known about him,
and he left no letters giving any cleW
to the reason for his death.

There the usual crowd was gazing
eagerly into the sky.
The detail OF cavalry on duty to

Suddenly the navigator put his helm

turned the aerial buoy from the west.
Undoubtedly he lost precious seconds
by the maneuver, but it afforded a
splendid exhibition of the aeroplane's
responsiveness and perfect dirigibility.

Beyond the high promontory of
Shutter hill the aeroplane was 800 feet
above ground. but the trees and build

altitude to clear them. The watching

HUSBAND LOSES
$4,000 FIGHT
COURT RETURNS MONEY USED
IN BUSINESS
MAN is GRlLLED BY JUDGE FOR
DELAYING JUSTICE
Suit Filed Six Years Ago by Woman
Now Dead Is Decided In
Favor of Her
Heirs

The suit Of Mrs. Rosetta S. Ingersoll
against her husband. c. X. Ingersoll,
carried on by the Title, Insurance and
Trust company after her death, in
volving the recovery for her estate of
nearly $4,000. came to an end yester-
day when Judge Bordwen of the su-
perior court rendered a judgment in
favor of the trust company.
The proceedings began six years ago
when Mrs. Ingersoll sued her husband
for the return TO her of $20,9724 A, which
amount she claimed was made up Of
gifts and inheritances received during
her married life and which she en-
trusted to her husband for investment.
Mrs. Ingersoll died in Racine, Wis,
month after the suit was filed, and the
fight was carried on by the trust COM
pany, which was named as executor
of her estate in her will.
At one time the matter was taken
to the supreme court, that tribunal
holding that the money was held in
trust by Ingersoll, and the proceedings
were resumed in the superior court in
an effort to recover the loans.
Judge Scores Husband
Ingersou admitted he received the
money from his wife, but contended
that it was converted into community
property, which should revert to him at
her DEATH Referring to this testimony,
Judge Bordwell in his opinion, says;
I'm some instances Ingersou testified
falsely and knew his testimony was
false at the time he gave it, and be-
lieving, as I do, that the defendant was
wilfully false in this testimony which
he gave concerning one transaction,
must and do distrust all the testimony
he has given in the case"
The evidence showed, said the court,
that Ingersoll used his wife's money in
his business, and that as result he
accumulated large profits, and adds
that the trial was accompanied with
much difficulty in the examination and
investigation of accounts and transac-
tions covering many years. lngersoll
seeking to obstruct and embarass the
proceedings at all times, instead of
promptly and frankly rendering his ac-
count-a duty required of all trustees,
Ingersoll is a rancher at MonroVla
and is reputed to be worth $4,000.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF NAVAJO COUNTY
The Affable Man.

The affable man is an individual who runs to silky side-whiskers and set smile
 He is so careful not to hurt your feelings that he earns your anger every time you meet him.
 In his anxiety to say something nice he invariably dwells upon the good qualities of your second cousin once removed. This is the only rela- tive of yours he can think of also it is the only relative you have who ever let you in on the ground floor of B deal and then dropped the roof in on you.
 The affable man is fond of having the verses about, Have you a kind ness shown? Pass it on," framed and hung in every room in his h2use. Some day he will ask you to his i;ome and you will be in the right mood and set fire to the place.
 At church picnics everybody else makes a mark of the affable man. He has to carry all the baskets, put up the swings, mix the lemonade, shoo the mosquitoes, pick up the dishes and square things with the farmer whose 40 acres of corn have been trampled down by the joyous children.
 Once there was an affable man who got tired of it, shaved off his silken whiskers, detached his smile and mixed things up generally with any one who dared to affront him.
 But this only made matters worse.
 This teaches us that the world doesn't want us to laugh for it.

PROPER COOLING OF MILK.
Danish Creamery Men Agitating for Water Tanks to Set the Cans
 for Moderating.

There is quite an agitation among the Danish creamery men to encour- age the milk producers to have water tanks made through which the water used for the stock is pumped, in which the cans of milk are set for cool ing.
 This old American scheme is no doubt a great improvement over let ting the cans take care of themselves, but it would seem that, while one is about it. it would be as well to secure one of the many excellent tubular or other milk coolers whereby the milk is cooled virtually instantaneously to within two or three degrees of the wa ter used.
 If the water pump is set going, be it by hand or power, when milking is commenced, a far better result is ob- tained than when the cans are set in tank, where the cooling is much slower, even if the milk is stirred occasionally, which is but seldom done.
 Of course it is desirable to have a tank with cold water in which to place the cans when cooled, but as the pump has to be used anyhow this requires but little extra work.

seIIinq Butter and Cream.

The advantages of selling cream or butter over that of selling while milk are that the skinned milk and butter milk can be used for feed on the farm, the ork does not demand such exact ing care and hours, and the finished product can be marketer at wider in tervals with very much less weight to handle At the present high price of hogs. the skinned milk and butter milk are very valuable feeds for pigs. Skiplmcd milk for this purpose is worth almost as much as it paid in some places for the whole milk. The hand separator on the farm makes it possible to secure more butter and
 O get greater value for the separated milk

FREAK FISHES ARE MANY
Very Curious Creatures, They Are, But
 They Don't Live Long.

Freak fishes among the trouts seem to appear most commonly among those matched from the eggs of the brook trout. There are not so many among rainbow trout and they are seldom found among brown trout; though among hybrids formed by crossing the American brook trout with the Eu ropean brown trout are found a larger number of freaks than among trout all brown
 The freak fishes matched out from brook trout eggs might number five to 1000 fishes. Among those appearing from batch of brook trout eggs matched out recently at the New York aquarium, there were fishes with two heads and one tail, and with two heads and two tails.
 These freaks do not long survive. Commonly they die when they have absorbed their yolk sac at the expira- tion of a period of about 30 days. though they may live 60 or 90 days or even longer. If they live long enough to begin feeding for themselves after the absorption of the yolk sac then one of the heads of a two-headed fish may do all the feeding or both heads may feed, and it may seem as if the curious creature was going to get on; but it doesn't last.
 A two-headed brook trout matched out at the Aquarium that had come to be about an inch and a quarter in length, lived four months and ten days, but that was considered remark able.
