rietta, %, enlarger of pictures, was shot
and fatally wounded by L. D. Mccartney,
pawnbroker and secondhand dealer, dy-

pital. The shooting followd an assault
made on Mccartney by the Mexican, it
is stated. The Mexican entered the store
and showed the pawnbroker a watch,
which he said he wanted to pawn for
$40. Mccartney claims he recognized
the watch as one stolen recently from
David Klein, a local merchant, and he
held the Mexican and sent a clerk to
call a policeman. The Mexican. it is
said, struck Mccartney twice with his
fist. Mccartney said he believed Muir
rietta armed, as he had previously sold
him a revolver, and he therefore shot
him twice
Mccartney was arrested and arraigned
shortly after the shooting before Justice
R. S. MeClay, on charge of assault to
commit murder. He was released on a

HOPPERS EAT The CORN
Insects Arc Doing Great Damage in
Western Kansas.

Crops in western Kansas counties
will suffer great damage from the WISH
tation of grasshoppers unless immed-
late action is taken, says J. H. Hillyer,
president of the Dodge City Mill and
Elevator company. In a letter to j.
H. Smiley of Topeka, Hillyer declares
that all growing crops will probably be
greatly damaged by the hoppers.
The grasshoppers injured the wheat
in the western counties, the Dodge City
man says. but that loss was not near
ly so heavy as the loss on the corn
crop. Even the alfalfa crop shows the
effect of the ravages of the hoppers
and Hillyer is certain that the loss in
Ford county alone has totalled thou
sands of dollars
And what is worst of ALL concludes
Hillyer in his letter the farmers are
taking little or no interest in the situa-
ton and are making no effort to pro-
tect their crops"

them in his pocket. He commenced
his celebration on the way home. After
firing several of the firecrackers, the
bunch in his pocket caught fire and
commenced exploding. He attempted
to pull them from his pocket, and in
so doing burnt his hands. He then
started to run home, distance of half
a mile, reaching there with his cloth
ing nearly burnt from his body and
suffering from burns extending from
his chin to his legs.
