Conner had been In I'll health and de-
spondent for some time. He seemed as
well yesterday, as usual, and when he
told Horne he was going TO the cellar to
tap a key OF beer, the man thought no
more OF II until the shot came. The bull
let had penetrated the head at a point
just above the left ear. and death was
instantaneous.
Horne Immediately called Dr. Lewis A.
Walker, Of 622 New Jersey Avenue. who
has been In attendance on Conner. Dr.
Walker came, pronounced the man dead
and himself went TO the Sixth Precinct,
and reported the case. Patrolman Nc

fed Coroner hewitt, but on investiga-
ton. :he coroner signed a certificate Of
suicide without holding an inquest
Dr. Walker said last night that Mr..
Connor had been In ill-health for some
months and of late had showed the
symptoms OF melancholia. He had tried
to persuade his patient to go to a sana-
forum for rest and treatment, but to
no purpose.
Mr.. Connor had been In business on G
Street for a number OF years. and was
well known. He was a widower and
leaves one daughter. Miss Burnadette

JACK" JOHNSON
GETS FREEDOM
Released on Bond and Is Then Re.
arrested on Charge of
Assault.

Chicago, Nov. 15-"Jackr Johnson, thu
negro pugilIst who is charged with VIC.
| latIon of>the Mann act, was released or
bond to-day after a weary week in jail
which wore the radiance Of his golden
smile to a FRAGILE.
Immediately after the acceptance OF
his bonds the pugilist was re-arrested
charged with assault and battery by
Edwin F. weigle, a newspaper photog-
rapher, and was driven in his automo-
bile to the Chicago Avenue Police Sta
ton. where he waited until friends could
go tO-the bank and cash one of the
negro's checks for 800, the amount OF
his surety in this case.
A little later Johnson was served with
notice Of a suit brought by Edwin F.
weigIe for $4,000 damages for the as
sault
Gee! dis am Friday. Nah unlucky
day. muttered the pugilist whose JOY
over his release was mingled with for
boding that 1t happened on the sixth
day of the week.
Johnsons bondsman In the United
States Court was Nat Baldwin. a real
estate dealer Of Evanston, who made
haste to explain that his connection with
the matter was due solely and simply
to a fee of $50 paid by johnson for the
accommodation and an agreement signed
by the negro that a private detective
employed by Baldwin and paid by John
son should be with him day and night
until he is surrendered in court
1t was stated by Baldwin during his
examination that he did not know John
son. and had been induced to become
his bondsman by w. G. Anderson, who
is the negro's attorney. The financial
arrangement between johnson and Bald
win was said by Judge Carpenter to be
perfectly proper"

PROLONGING LIFE
OF FENCEPOSTS.
CreOsOts Treatment Effective
In Preventing Decay.

The most effective method Of pre-
serving fenceposts is to thoroughly
impregnate the outer layers Of wood
with some preservative which will poi
son the wood and deprive the fungOus
plant which causes wood to rot Of its
food. The cheapest and most effective
Is creOsote 1t Is not only poisonous to
the fungous plant; but, being an oil, its
tendency Is to exclude moisture from
the wood Most patented wood pre-
servatives have creOsote as their basis
The treatment Is best given by the
open tank method Thoroughly sea
soned posts with bark removed are
heated for several hours in hot creo
s0te. then allowed to cool down in cold
creosOte In the hot treatment the high
temperature causes the air and water
In the wood to expand so that large
portion of this is forced out OF the
wood and the creOsOte takes its place
When the posts are placed In the cold
creOsOte the air and water left in the
wood contract, forming partial vac
NUN. and the creosote again forces its
way into the wood. This treatment
forms shell Of creosOted wood from
one eighth to two inches In thickness
around the post. depending upon the
kind of wood treated. Kansas Farmer
