AFTER HOLDING UP STATE

SALINA, KAN, Dec: 15.-Ira Ward
80 years old, who this morning rob
bed the State Bank of Paradise, at
Paradise, Kan, securing $500, killed
himself when surrounded by a posse
Of farmers fourteen miles north OF
that place today.
Wards suicide came as a climax
to most sensaitnal robbery. He had
made a hard ride for liberty, but as
the farmers over the entire section
had been notified by telephone, the
posse easily picked up his trail.
For five hours he eiuded the farm.
ers, but about sundown he was sur
rounded. When the members of the
posse reached his side they found
$4,000, which Ward had stolen from
the bank. The bank officials SAY all
of the stolen money was recovered.
Ward, who lived 70 miles north
east of Luray, Kan, went to Paradise
last night. He told the people there
he was riding across the State on a
wager and he attracted only casual
notice.
This morning he went to a hard
ware store, bought a revolver, am
munition and a coil of rope. He then
went to the bank, where covered
Cashier Bert O'Brien and four other
men with the weapon. After the safe
had been opened by the cashier at
Wards direction, the five men we're
marched into back room and forced
to lie on the floor. The lone bandit
then tied the men and gagged them
with gunny sack.
After searching the vault and Sc
curing $500, Ward walked over to
the hardware store, purchased a ri
fle large number of cartridges, and
mounting his horse rode rapidly
away. In a short time the men in
the bank were discovered by custo-
mers and were released. A posse
was formed and started after Ward.
The robber took all the cash In the
safe, and then went to hardware
store and bought rifle and big sup
ply of ammunition. He then hurried
ly left the store, and, mounting his
horse, fed towards the north.
The four men were found in the
bank few minutes later and posse
started in pursuit of the roboer.

ERRONEOUS IDEA OF

HELD BY CANADIAN
FREDERICK HoLMYARD or WIN
NiPEe Is LAID UP IN
HOSPITAL.
MAY DESTROY LARGE LIBRARY
When He Gets Back Home With A
Newer and More Correct View OF
The Way They Do Things on
Broadway.

New York, Dec. 21.-Frederick
Holmyard. of Winnipeg, is at Gouver.
neur Hospital with a serious outlet
wound in the right side of Ills head.
He win recover, and when he returns
to Winnipeg it is believed he will
destroy large and lurid library OF
fiction whereby he gained totally
erroneous idea of New York City and
its famous Bowery.
Holmyard, young man, came to
New York on Wednesday, and his
one idea was to visit the ancient
thoroughfare. According to his fav-
orite authors, it was a place where
"sand-bagging" could be seen at ev-
cry corner while highway robbery
was too frequent for comment. The
rest of the sidewalk was made up OF
trap doors, secret panels, houses with
barred doors, sirens with black hair,
smoking cigarettes, and tail men In
dress suits, who exclaim "Ha! hal"
at regular Intervals.
Holmyard took his life in his
hands and descended upon the Bow
cry Saturday night AS a necessary
preoaution ne also took a revolver
of large calibre, which he placed in
his outside coat pocket, ready for
use. He made up his mind that he
would not be sand-bagged, garroted,
dropped through a trapdoor, showed
into a sewer, lured into a deserted
or dragged into a night
hawk" cab without struggle.
He struck the thoroughfare some
where around Rivington street, and

PLANTING CowPEAS
IN THE CORN.
Expert Miller Gives Timely Ad-
vice on Use of Legume
Crops.

The use of cowpeas as crop to
be sown in the corn is destined to
become more and more common
in Missouri. Corn alone is very
wearing on the land, as every one
knows, and with the increasing val
tie of farm lands a way must be
found to keep UP the fertility at
the same time that the farmer is
making a money return per acre
Crop rotation is naturally a first
essential in this building up and
maintaining of the fertility, but
to improve the land most rapidly
use must be made of extra legume
crops thrown in between the. reg
ular crops to add nitrogen and
humus. Cowpeas can be used in
this way the most readily of any
crop grown in Missouri and with
very great profit.
A knowledge of handling COW
peas in the corn is necessary to
success. Many men have attempt
ed this practice and have failed be-
cause Of improper methods Of
handling. The common practice
is to SOW them broadcast in the
corn at the last cultivation at the
rate of two to three pecks per acre
and while this is satisfactory over
a great deal of the southern part of
the state it is not SO satisfactory
on central and northern Missouri
lands. This practice is particular
ly adapted to the lowlands of
southeast Missouri. On the up
lands, however, one frequently
fails to get stand when putting
them in this way. y better prac-
tice is to use o one-horse drill,
putting them in at the time Of the
last blowing. On some lands this
drilling will give sufficient cultiva-
ton to take the place of the last
blowing of the corn. In any case
the corn should be laid by a little
earlier than usual to be sure of
getting a good stand. The variety
to in this case is the New Era
as a first choice and Whippoorwills
as a second choice Cowpeas may
be sown in the row with the corn
quite satisfactorily and this is be-
coming quite common. They are
either mixed in the planter box
using about y times as many peas
as corn, or they may be put il
with special cowpea attachment
to the corn planter. The latter
The Jasper news., 1910-06-16

mind can see it. The job is to
raise the money necessary to pur-
chase and present to the city a
couple of fire engines.
A good many times of late we
have heard of the success of d
small fire department organized at
Sheldon. They have several times
averted disastrous fires there and
only recently went out and stop
ped a blaze that threatened to
wipe out the village of Milo. Not
long ago we wrote to Editor Storrs
of the Sheldon Enterprise for in
formation concerning their equip
ment, and we publish here his re-
ply, which is very convincing, to
the writer at least, that Sheldon
has just about what Jasper needs
in the way of fire fighting appar-
atus. Here is the letter:
The Jasper news., 1910-06-16

Of course other firms than the
one at Logansport may make
chemical fire engines, and its en-
tirely immaterial to the writer
where we get our equipment, but
we certainly should have some
thing, and Sheldon seems to have
Jared splendidly at their hands, 50
we have written Messrs. Obenchain
& Boyer for their advertising
matter. This will be furnished on
arrival to anybody that wants to
look it over and get the PROPOSE
ton in some definite form than we
put it here.
We really believe that the rails
ing of the money necessary to buy
the engines would resolve itself in
to an easy task, once it was taken
hold of by parties determined to
put it through. The business men
of the city can certainly be de-
pended on for their enthusiastic
and unanimous support and very
few would refuse a reasonable con
tribution to such a cause. We
might start the ball rolling with
an old fashioned tag day."
Who'll take it up Don't be
bashful, folks.
The Jasper news., 1910-06-16

soon as the companies could make out
new rate book following the arrival
of the engines here, and in consequence
the purchase of the engines themselves,
irrespective Of any worth as fire.hghting
apparatus, proved a saving, instead of
an expense.
1t was but shortly after the arrival
of the engines here that they received
their christening: fire destro, ed the
large general merchandise stock of
Croy d Son. located in the middle of a
block on Main street, and the fact is
not questioned that it was the work of
the engines alone that saved the entire
block.
My personal opinion is that the en-
gines would not be Of much force where
fire had gained any Roadway, but
that one viii handle any ordinary fire
taken in its incipiency, and taken from
the standpoint of reduced insurance
alone are an excellent municipal invest
ment. l don't believe that the state
ment will be too strong if l say that two
such engines as Sheldon has will com.
pare not unfavorably in efficiency with
the ordinary small city fire department
not equipped with fire engines.
If | could furnish you any further
information or be of any further service
in the matter, | should be pleased to
hear from you.
Yours very truly.

is much to be preferred DIS
it will give more even stand OF
both corn and peas. One difficulty
in handling peas in this way is due
to the fact that the coWpcaS are
badly stunted should q cold spell

As a matter of fact it is usually
better to postpone corn planting
until the last half of May in CEN
trail Missouri when cowpeas are to
be put in the row. The best war;
iety for this purpose depends upon
the use that is to be made of them.
If they are to be pastured with

to be cut up with corn binder,
