STORE ROBBED AT COVE
Rurg'ars Take Money Box From Store and Secure Sl00 in Cash No
 Clue to Guilty Parties.

Special to The Star.
 Cove, June 15 Burglars entered the store of Golf Bros. & Gamble here last night and secured about $100 in cash. The robbery was not discovered until the store was opened for business this morning, and there is no clue so far which would lead to the discovery of who the guilty party or parties may be.
 The back windows of the store are fastened by sticks. One of these had been removed and it is belived that the burglar either removed it during the day or concealed himself in the store before it was locked up at night, and removed the stick and left the store by the window.
 The iron safe in the store was not locked but contained a strong iron box in which the money was left un- der lock. This box was taken out of the store and carried to the woods near town where it was blown open with nitro glycerine, after repeated efforts had been made to break it open with stones.
 Aside from the money, about $l00 in currency and silver, there were a number of checks, notes and other valuable papers. These were found scattered over the ground around the wrecked money box, but nothing was taken except the money.
 There are no goods missing from the store.

. - ants assessed in this very suit.
 ''If 1t be conceded as true that one suit In equity by any one or all the defendants would settle the whole controversy between the parties, but complainant is threatened with multiplicity of suits at law for damages for a breach of the contract by reason of complainaut's intended remov. al of its central division point from Meua, two answers are ready; CD no injunction will lie in tho Federal court to enjoIn a multiplicity of damage suits, al- though growing out of one tram saction. (2) No such results, on the record before me could be req sonably appreheuded.
 "Nor does it appear that If this bill should finally be dismissed, any irreparable injury within the meaning of that term as used in connection with the jurisdiction of courts of equity, would follow. The worst that could follow would be the institution of suits at law by the several defendants to recover damages against coni- plainant. for a breach of contract, and the recovery of judg ments therefore which might become liens on its property if not paid. But that result IS occurring every day in all sorts of litigation, in all courts both of law and equity. And if that result is ground of equity jurisdiction, then courts of equity would have jurisdictiou in all cases. because all judgments may create lien, aud to that ex- tent cloud title. There are no substantive facts alleged, or fair differences to be indulged. from what appears in the bill, showing any other or different multipli- city of suits, or irreparable in- jury, than that stated. do not understand that is sufficient to give federal court of equity ju- risdiction.
 The conclusion IS that tue com- plainant has failed to make out a case of equitable cognizance, and the injunction prayed for must be refused.

HOT LEAD FOR A
 STRANGE NEGRO
Stray Black Man Makes Improper Remarks to White Woman and Is Shot by Members of Posse,
 but Makes His Escape.
Special to The Star.

Special to The Star.
 Vandervoort, June 15.- Monday afternoon about 4 o'clock negro man went to the home of Charles Beach, which is about three-fourths of mile from Vandervoort, and made some improper remarks to Mrs. Beach.
 The word soon spread over the country and in Vandervoort, and guns were gotten out and a search was started for the negro, but it was unsuccessful that night. Yes terday morning a party of men met the negro on the railroad track at the pumping station near Gillham and were going to take him to an officer. The negro said he had done nothing and started to run away. The men opened fire on him at once. About a dozen shots were fired but the negro escaped and has not yet been captured. He was hit, how ever, as the blood was found on the rocks where he had been running.
 The search is still going on and the country is very much wrought up over the occurrence.
 Mir. and Mrs. Beach have been in this country only few month, hav- ing come here from Kansas.
 The negro is not known and was evidently travelling through the country as there are no negroes liv- ing in this vicinity.
 A negro, who very nearly an swered the description of the one for whom the people around Vandervoort and Gillham are look ing for, was arrested here last night by Night Policeman Goodner. He had letters from his last employer and proved that he had arrived in Mena yesterday from the north, SC he was released. Chief of Police McMillan gave him a letter so he would not be bothered any more or his trip south.

Endorsed at Home
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Skowhegan Citizen.

The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none strong
er can be, had. When a man comes
forward and testifies to his fellow
citizens, addresses his friends and
neighbors, you may be sure he is
thoroughly convinced or he would not
do SO. Telling ones experience when
it is for the public good is an act of
kindness that should be appreciated.

resident of Skowhegan adds one more

HOW IT WAS GROWN,

When one reads of an exceptional
yield Of grain or corn an interest very
naturally attaches to the methods fol-
lowed in producing it. For this reason
those who have read the previous ref
erence in these notes to the authenti-
Gated yield of 154 bushels Of corn Sc
cured from a single acre by John Sund-
berg will be interested In knowing how
1t was grown. The ground on which
this fine yield was produced was sec
ond bottom Missouri valley soil which
had been in clover pasture some five
years preceding 1t was plowed in the
fall, and In the spring 1t was given the
usual thorough preparation for corn.
including disking and narrowing. An
acre and half were chosen In the rich
est part of the field. one acre being laid
figured out In advance just how many
plants he would have to have to pro-
duce $50 bushels at harvest. To this
were added a sufficient number Of ker-
nels to make up for those that for one
cause or another would fail to pro-
duce ears. He planted the corn early
in May, using drill and double plant
Ing so that the rows were twenty-one
inches apart, the kernels being drop
ped eighteen inches apart In the row.
The cultivating was done with SIN
gle horse and a FIVE tooth cultivator.
this being given at frequent intervals
SO as to keep the soil loose and moist.
At husking time an actual count show
ed 1850 stalks with ears averaging In
weight 14.4 ounces. The land was re-
measured and the corn weighed in the
presence Of a justice Of the peace. The
variety planted was Reid's Yellow Dent.
1t is interesting to note In connection
with this yield that 1t was just about
six times the average yield per acre
for corn the country over. 1t is worth
remembering, too. that. in addition to
using the finest pure bred seed obtain
able. the corn was grown on a very
rich piece of bottom land and was
given ideal cultivation. When corn
growers will give more heed to the
three factors here mentioned in the
growing of their corn the yield Of this
great cereal will be materially In
creased.

SOME OHIO SPRAYING RESULTS.

When the average orchard owner
who has not been spraying his trees
is broaehed on the question Of spray
ing. quite naturally one OF the first
points he raises Is. Does 1t pay?
With a view to giving an emphatic
affirmative answer to this question q
number of the state experiment sta
tions have during the past three or
four years conducted most instructive
cooperative spraying experiments, in
which the matter seems to have been
given very conclusive demonstration.
OF the above type of experiments
were those conducted by the Ohio sta
ton in 1907. Twelve acres Of an or
chard near Amherst were selected for
the experiment. the trees being twenty
feet In height and having about an
equal spread Of top. A few trees were
left unsprayed for purposes Of COM
parison. At harvest time $500 bushels
of perfect apples were gathered.
conservative estimate Of the gain due
to spraying being S1.400. or over $1OO
per acre. and this after the cost of
spraying, amounting to $125. had been
subtracted. Set, as this orchard was,
In the midst Of many other unsprayed
orchards. the demonstration was very
convincing, and as a result of the
showing made many orchardists Of
the state were convinced of the practi-
cal value of spraying and took the
work up the following year. The av-
erage Of picked sound fruit at harvest
time on all the trees sprayed was
90 per cent. while the same average
for the unsprayed trees was less than
5S per cent. The main fact proved in
CONNECTION with this work is that II
one has an orchard which Is worth
anything at all he cannot afford to
leave 1t unsprayed. as so doing will
reduce both the quantity and quality
of his fruit below the point where he
can successfully compete with the
growers of clean fruit On the other
hand. If the orchard Is too far gone
to justify the expense Of spraying, 1t
we're better cut out and converted into
Stove wood. as 1t Is merely an incum-
brance on the ground.

(PortIeud Preos.)

The independents Reporter, news
paper printed in Skowhegan, recently
called attention to the publication In
the Fairfield Journal of an editorial
which bore the brand of the Hale can
ming factory. The Independent-Re-
porter knew the article in question
because it had been offered to the edi7
tor of the Skowhegan paper. And the
Fairfield Journal made this retort to
the remarks of its Skowhegan. con-
temporary:
1--WE thought at first to reply but
when a small boy we kicked a furry
animal we thought was a cat-well,
We have never done so since"
This seems to be about as conclu-
sive an answer as those explanations
which Hale organs have been offer
ing of the occurrences at the Bar Har-
Dor caucus. occurrences so malodorous
that reference to the furry little ami
NAL might not be inappropriate in
connection with them.

DOES CLIMATE CHANGE?

An inspection of meteorological rec
ords made In semiarid sections during
the past fifty years seems to give lit
tie encouragement to the theory that
the breaking up of the soil in those Sec
tons and the growing thereon of titled
crops tend to increase the actual
amount Of rainfall from year to year.
The most that can be fairly said seems
to be that tillage Of the soil In Sec
tions of short rainfall makes possible
a maximum utility Of the moisture
that does fall, while there is little
question that mellow soil and growing
crops serve to reduce somewhat the
whitening effect Of hot south winds in
that they tend to lessen rather than
increase their capacity to absorb mois-
ture.
