Father of John Beal Sneed Follows
Capt. A. G. Boyce, Sr.-Was
Killed by One Of His Farm
Hands.
lBy Associated Press.l

Georgetown, Texas, March 6.-J. T.
Sneed, father of John Beal Sneed, was
shot and instantly killed here this
morning by one of his farm tenants,
r. o. Hilliard of Rosebud, who then
killed himself. Hilliard left note
saying he wanted revenge.
The killing caused the report to
spread that the slayer was a member
of the Boyce family. Hilliard was in
no manner connected with either the
Boyce or Sneed family.
The men met in the postoffice and
Hilliard opened fire with his revolver.
Sneed ran several steps with two bull
let's in his body and fell to the side
walk, after which Hilliard shot him
three more times. Then the slayer
put the gun against his own breast,
and fired, the bali tearing into his
heart.
In note found Hilliard says Sneed
had mistreated him and he intended
to kill Sneed and let the authorities
send him to an insane asylum. The
note was addressed to Mrs. Ruby
Hilliard at Rosebud.

SECRETARY OF WAR |
sT|Ms0N FOR taft
Made the Announcement In Speech
Last Night Before Taft Club
In Chicago.

Secretary of War Stimson has de-
clared for his chief, President Taft.
In an address last night before the
Taft club in Chicago he made the
declaration, setting at rest all spec
ulation as to his position.
Following are the pertinent and
salient points in his address,:
Il am for the denomination of Presi-
dent Taft.
81 am now and always have been a
progressive.
"Mr. Taft has faithfully carried out
the progressive faith.
II entered public life under the in
spiration of Theodore Roosevelt.
Il am firm believer in his great
national policies.
II now remain his sincere friend.
But believe those who are forcing
him, against his original intention,
into the arena against Mr.. Taft, are
jeopardizing instead of helping feal
progress.
"Mr. Taft has faithfully carried out
his pledges of four years ago.
''Mr. Taft has been most falsely VII
lifted and abused.
The recall Of judges would bring
the courts down into the welter Of
politics"

Wheat Production
Both the Quality and Quantity of
Our Wheat is Attracting Much
Attention From the
Outside World.

The following article in regard
to American Falls irrigation and
dry farm wheat production taken
from the Trade and Finance letter
sent out by the National Copper ban
Of Salt Lake, shows in a measure tn
quantity and quality of wheat pro-
duced in this community:
American Falls and Aberdeen are
In one of the newer irrigation dis
tricts and are making very good re-
cords in that department of farm
ing. The outstanding feature Of
American Falls agriculture, however.
is its wheat growing. No more en-
couraging sight is to be had along
the entire line of the Oregon Short
Line than the remarkable increase
OF wheat fields within sight of the
train, particularly west of the falls,
on lands that were in sage brush
one or two years ago, and which
common opinion had held to be un-
cultivatable. Hard milling wheat, a
line as any in America, is raised OF
course without irrigation, and makes
flour which is, in the judgment of
bakers, unsurpassed. 1t is expected
that somewhat in excess of 10000
bushels Of wheat, all of it Turkey
Red and all of it flinty, hard, will
be produced there this year. Win
ter barley, feeding grain of excep-
tonal value, can also be raised just |
as successfully, and eventually such
crops as potatoes, alfalfa and some
Of the sorghums will be added to tn

mountain country, but We have no
hesitation in predicting that their
gross production will ultimately far
surpass the value Of irrigated crops,
great as these are certain to be-"
