ship, arson and the death of one of
the conspirators by fire and explosion
figured in dramatic details. The cen
tral figure in the story is Samuel
Brown, tall and slender, with finely
cut features that show the effects of
dissipation, a Mason and Mystic
Shriner, with an attractive wife and
delightful home in No. 315 West
18th street, Manhattan, who was ar
rested and charged with arson in con-
nection with the fire on the preceding
evening in the Office of the Long Dock
Mills and Elevator, No. 6S Pavonia
avenue, Jersey City, of which he was
cashier.
A few hours before Browns arrest
Frank Walsh, alias Lightning" an
outcast who hung around saloons in
East Newark, died as the result of
burns that followed an explosion of
gasoline in the office, whittier he went
to destroy books and check stubs that
would incriminate Brown and to set
fire to the building with the aim of
giving the impression that burglars
had cracked the safe, robbed it and
committed arson to hide their crime
AS the result of Walshs death the
additional charge of manslaughter or
murder was made against Brown in
the police court. a third man impli-
Gated in the affair is Patrick B. Tim
mons of Newark, an expert book
keeper who, it is charged, sought to
aid Brown in hiding the details of the
cashiers thefts from the Long Dock
Mills and Elevator. He denies that
he knows anything about the affair
that would incriminate him.
Samuel Brown, cashier of the mills,
has admitted a shortage of $4,000 in
his accounts. He turned for help
three months ago to Timmons. Tim
mons, an expert accountant, tried to
cover up the embeZzlement, then
found way by which the evidence
of it might be destroyed.
Walsh agreed-for payment of $40,
it is said-to burn the contents of the
safe il the Office of the mills, which is
one block away from the Erie Rail
road station.

GIVE MILK COW
GOOD TREATMENT
Animal Should Have Access to
Rock Salt at All Times
Should Not be Hurried
by Dog or Horse.

A small quantity Of barrel salt
should be given the COW once or twice
a week; and she should have constant
access to rock salt, either in the yard
or pasture.
In going to and from the pastures.
the cows should have the use of good
wide lane, so that they may not be
hooked and jammed about. Do not hur
ry them with dog or horse. If the
floors of the barn are of cement, a
small quantity of sand should be
sprinkled on the floor before the cows
are turned out or allowed to come in.
This will prevent them from slipping.
Care should be exercised, when they
are running together, that heavy cows
do not ride the young heifers when
the latter are in season. Heifers are
frequently injured for life by this
treatment; brokendown rumps being
rather common in some herds.

Silage is going to be more used than
in the past, and cattle feeders are COM
ing to the conclusion at last that 1t
should not be ignored, says the Ma
tional Stockman. Cheaper grains have
been made by using silage as rough
age, while gains have been made more
rapid, especially where the cattle
were fed only 80 days. The plan
adopted in handling silage is to let the
ear of the corn reach as advanced a
stage of maturity as possible without
firing the fodder. Many stock feeders
in the upper edge of the corn beft,
where dent corn often fails to come to
maturity because of early frosts. are
using this silage method with the best
of success, and for wintering cattle
it's use is equal 10 pasturing them.
Meanwhile the demand for breeding
cattle is showing a steady increase.
