GOES INSANE OVER
PRIMARY DEFEAT

Perry, July 26.-Roy King, young
man about 25 years of age, who for.
merly lived on farm south Of this
city, is violently insane, and it has
been necessary to send him to hos
pital for treatment. King left here
several years ago, and located on a
ranch near Mitchell, 8. D. He was one
of the most popular men Of the neigh.
borhood, and was candidate for
county treasurer at the recent primar.
les He was defeated for the nomina-
ton, and brooding over this fact
caused him to lose his reason.
The young mans father, L. w. King,
went to Mitchell last week and brought
him back to this county. When near
Sioux City the crazed men jumped
through window Of the car In which
he was riding, and although the train
was running rapidly he was unhurt,
and succeeded in eluding his friends
for several hours.

HOW TO PREVENT
APPLE BL0TCH.
NOT TOO LATE TO SPRAY IN JULY
AND AUGUST, SAYS LAU-
REM GREENE.

| Ames, July 26-The apple blotch is
making Its appearance in the orchardS
Of southern Iowa. 1t has been reported
from localities in Pottawattamle, Ere
mont and Page counties and Is prob
ably prevalent in other counties near
the southern border of the state.
1t is possible to control this apple
disease by spraying and the experiment
station at Iowa state college Is advising
the use Of bordeaux mixture tor this
purpose.
spraying should begin with the be-
ginning Of the season." says Laurenz
Greene, experimentalist in horticulture,
ito get the best results. However,
spraying late in July and early In Aug
ust will help to prevent further spread
Of the disease and will aid in it's con-
troll next year. 1t is a good idea to add
poison to the bordeaux mixture to pro-
tect trees and fruit against the second
blood codding moth. Bordeaux mixture
is readily made by mixing pounds OF
bluestone, to pounds of lime and 30
gallons Of water. For poison for tho
cooling moth, add to this 2 pounds Of
lead arsenate or 6 ounces OF paris
green. For further directions In fighting
the blotch, any orchadist may write to
the agricultural section OF the expert
ment station.
Apple blotch is quite easily recog-
nized It shows itself first In more or
less numerous small, light brown
spots or blotches on the fruit. These
spread out like rays, becoming darker
in color and increase in size until they
sometimes reach a diameter Of one
half inch. Sometimes they grow to-
gether and cover large portion Of the
apples face and cracking Of the fruit
frequently follows. The disease most
often attacks the northwestern Green
ing in this state. In Missouri this va
riety and the Ben Davis, Red Astrach-
an, Maiden Blush. Willow Tw1g and
Gano are most susceptible to the dis
ease. The Winesap, Jonathan, Gromes
and York Imperial are almost immune.
The blotch is very destructive to the
fruit, but does little damage to the
tree, as rule. But is Is carried over the
winter in the diseased areas Of the
tire twigs.

NEGRO OUTLAW
IS SHOT DOWN
JACK THE SHOOTER" OF LITTLE
ROCK, ARK, KILLED AS HE
WAS ENTERING HOUSE
40 OFFENSES CHARGED
Believed He Committed Acts For
Which Innocent Men Now Are
Serving Sentences; Slayer
to Get Gold Medal.

Little Rock, Ark, July 26.- Forty
minutes after he had entered the room
of Maude Sumner, stenographer, al
Ninth and Center streets shooting hel
in the hand when she resisted him, J
B. Brown, a negro attorney, Little
Rocks Jack the Shooter" was killed
by Sam Colline, negro trailer, az
Brown was climbing into the window
OF Collins residence.
All Little Rock now breathes easily
and thousands have visited the
morgue where the body Of Brown
awaited the action of the coroners
jury Citizens have started to purchase
a medal for Collins.
Little Rock for six months has been
Mortified by almost nightly burglarles
and attacks upon women. and the sit
uation was getting so grave that a
mass meeting was held and citi.
zens' vigilance committee formed to
patrol the streets. For time this
seemed to stop the crimes, but recent
ly tho attacks were renewed.
WhItened His Face.
When slain, Brown had his face and
hands covered with talcum powder,
and being mulatto this gave him the
appearance of a white man Of dark
complexion, or a Mexican, such as
was described by most of the women
who were attacked. The police have a
record Of forty nine crimes which they
say undoubtedly were committed by
Blown.
The most serious Of the "Jack the
Shooter crimes occurred May 10 last,
when the mysterious man entered the
residence of Mrs. D. P. Coulter, three
blocks from the center of the business
district, and attacked Mrs. Coulter,
who held her ninemonths-old baby.
The assailant fired at Mrs. Coulter
twice, the baby being killed. He fled,
and half an hour later the same man
entered the home of M. M. Hawkins,
and fired at Mrs. Hankins and at two
policemen who were attracted by her
cries.
Convicts Thought Not Guilty.
So positive are citizens and officials
of Little Rock that three or four per-
sons have been convicted for crimes
laid at the door Of Jack the Shooter"
in the penitentiary now, that strong
Will 10 Hdu0 10 nave ClcA
granted new trials or pardoned by the
governor.
David Birones, Mexican, serving a
sentence of nineteen years for shoot
ing at May holland and Ruth Andrews
on the morning Of May 80, is one who
may be affected by the action Of the
citizens
Robert Armstrong, negro, is under
sentence for the death of Mrs. J. F.
Musser and Of Ella Hardcastle. He is
about the same size and general ap-
pearance of Brown, as the dead negro
appeared with powder on his face. AS
Identification of Armstrong always has
been meager, efforts are being made
to have Mr.. Musser come and take q
look at the dead bandit to see If he
might not have been the slayer of his
wife, instead of Armstrong.
An inquest was held over the body
of Brown this morning. and Sam Col
Inns Immediately was discharged with
the thanks of the coroners jury.

THIS LAND Is GOING UP every
season and after each rise the sales
increase over any before. The price
advances are not of boom nature
but are conservative, based on the
settling up of the lands, increased de
mand for them, and the general de.
|velopment that is going forward
there Men who obtain the land now
will hold the key to the future oppor.
tunities OF this growing district.
PRICES AND VALUES are the
magnets that are drawing the people
to the Swigart Tract. Prices here
were once so low as to really keep
people away; it's human nature to
associate value with price. But now
that the land values have become so
thoroughly established, there are
twice as many sales as five years ago
when the land was half the price.
For the same reason, five years hence.
the demand for these lands will be
twice as great as now, and at double
and treble the present prices. Oh,
yes, there will be later chances, but
they will require much more money.
Common Sense says, BUY while you
can"
IN THE RACE for a competency
you have been outstripped by some
investor who was perhaps not so
smart as you, but who pinned his
faith to rise In land values. There is
no possibility of loss, with great
probability Of gain, If rightly placed.
A little investigation will prove to
you the value in the location of the
Swigart tract in Mason, Manistee and
Lake counties, Michigan. only ITO
miles from Chicago, near the Lake
Michigan shore, where water meets
rail and trains and steamships trans
port products overnight to Chicago,
Milwaukee. Grand Rapids, Detroit,
and Toledo; with no 40-acre piece in
the tract over five miles from some
shipping point and good wagon roads
all the way.
THERE is VALUE in having for
local markets Ludington and Manis-
tee on the edge of the tract, which
towns require our products for their
10000 population. You surely recog-
nize the value Of the ample rainfall,
wonderful supply of purest water in
creeks, springs and inland lakes, and
the value Of the most healthful eli
mate. Have confidence in your own
judgment. Add the judgment of the
settlers to your own, which you can
