henious crime preferred against him
by his 17-year-Old daughter, Della
Foster, J. NJ. Foster, known as Mart, a
farmer, aged about so years, committed
suicide.
Self-destruction was accomplished
some time Monday night. The man
had spent the night in his room on the
second floor Of his home, writing a
letter, then drank about half the
contents Of a fOur-Ounce bottle Of
carbOlic acid. Then taking .32 calibre
gun, he placed it at point about three
fourths of an inch above his right ear,
and made sure Of death.
The man left letter to his daugh-
ter, unsigned, in which his attitude is
shown. 1t is as follows:
AMOSCOW, Ida, Jan. %. Dear
Della: You have done what you was
told to do. God pity you and me.
81 have walked all day to find you,
MS you was all l had and you didn't
understand. You was beside yourself
to talk as you have.

had you, and all the doors were lock-
ed, and kept locked. They refused to
see me.

will glote over it, and can't help 1t.
She was the cause of it ALL Poor chill
dren, they will never know the truth"
Foster was found at 900 o'clock by
Deputy Sheriff James Sterling, who
entered the house with a pass key. He
found it necessary to use an axe to
go further, as the man had locked eve
ry door in the house, from room to
room, and retired to the south room
upstairs. Opening this door, the sher-
if stumbled upon the body, fully dress
ed lying with it's head to the door.
There was the cup, with crystals or
acid in it, and the gun. A heavy quilt,
hung at the window, as at all windows
in the house, excluded all light
From the appearances it was made
almost certain that the man had been
dead for three days, although there
are some people, who think they saw
him in Moscow on Tuesday night.
The crime Of which Foster was ac-
cused, was revealed at the close OF
Rev. Lowrys meeting for women only
at the Tabernacle Sunday, when as
the result of Mr.. Lowry's sermon the
girl was nerved to the task of making
her horrible revelation, and she told
Miss Annetta Now, it is stated, and to
other women present, that she had
sustained criminal relations with her
father for period extending back
almost three years. Her story was
repeated to Mrs. George Moody, one
of the members of the Lowry party,
and Mrs Moody took the girl in her
care.
"She did not want to go home to her
father, after telling her story, and she
needed woman's care," stated Mrs.
Moody, this morning. II acted in the

done cheaper. The tree with the cen

Next TO spraying, thorough annual

great many ways, the most important
of which are:

3. Regulates size.
4. Regulates shape

many limbs infected with the various
forms of apple Canker-sunken or
rough dead places in the bark and
outer wood. The limb may be entire
ly killed by this canker The amount
of Canker injury may be influenced
in two ways by pruning. First, tree
thoroughly pruned is not so liable 10
be infected with Cankcr, for the rea-
son that the canker gets in through
wounds made by limbs rubbing togeth.
er and made on limbs picking fruit
In each case these conditions are
more likely to prevail on unpruned
than on well pruned trees Second,
so far as my experience goes, | have
uniformly observed more canker on
dense trees than on trees kept open
enough to admit the sunlight to any
wounds that may be on the bark. In,
lection is controlled by cutting out
all small limbs infected with canker
and by cutting out the dead portions
of the large limbs, cutting into
healthy wood and painting the
limbs.
