FIGHT With DEATH
Plucky Georgia Banker in Bat
tie With Poison.
Declares He Will Live Despite
Doctors Fears.

Macon, May 21.-Despite assertions
by several physicians that he cannot
live, B. Sanders Walker, the young
banker who swallowed seven grains Of
deadly poison by mistake a week ago,
is making desperate battle for life.
Walkers remarkable vitality is puz-
zling physicians and specialists
throughout the country. Last night
his doctors believed the end was near
but the patient assured them that he
was determined to life and after an all
night fight with death rallied slightly
At o'clock this morning his pulse was
126. respiration 81 temperature 80.
While unable to account fully for
Walkers remarka bic vitality, physi-
clans partly attributed his resistance
to the poison up to this time to the
fact that he vomited a portion of
bichloride of mercury tablet soon af-
ter it was swallowed 1t was this
which alarmed the banker and caused
him to call a physician who rushed
to the Walker home and pumped out
the contents of Walkers stomach.
The physicians arrival however,
was not before the poison had taken
sufficient effect to paralyze the kidneys
All the members of Walkers i'm
mediate family are gathered at his
home here. Every precaution is being
taken to prevent the patient from be-
coming unduly excited. Only his wife
and physicians and nurses are per
mitted to enter the room.
kilograms containing suggestions
for reatment still are being received
al Walkers home from every section
of the country

ON sunny ROMANCE.
Mexican of Diaz Fame Ran Away
With Pretty French Maid.

New York, May 21.-A special board
of inquiry at Ellis Island took up to-
day the case of Carlos Dominguez, an
attache of the Mexican consulate at
Paris during the Diaz administration,
and a pretty young woman companion
who were detained in the stateroom
when the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm II
docked late yesterday. They were on
the ships manifest as man and wife,
but on the strength of a cablegram
from Paris saying that the young
woman was the daughter of a Partisan
banker and had eloped, they were not
permitted to land.
The young Mexican when questioned
admitted the trip was the elimination
of a romance and that the girl was
not his wife. 1t was thought probable
he would be permitted to land, but
that the girl would be sent back to her
mother on the next boat. The pair

Kansan Murders Woman in
Hay Now With Razor.
Then Tries to Kill Self With
Bloody Weapon.
WORRIED OVER MONEY MATTER
Relatives Feared Action and
Followed Him Home.
Desperate Struggle in Barn
Little Boy Spared.

Washington, Kan, May 21.-Matt
Snyder, a young famer living 10 miles
northeast of here, killed his wife last
night and then attempted suicide. He
had been worried over a land deal and
for several days past had been con-
sidered more or less deranged men
tally.
He had been to town with his wife
the afternoon of the tragedy and ar
made whereby his land
difficulties were cleaed UP, but he still
a appeared to be queer and two of his
brothers-in-law went home with him.
While one of them went after the
cows and the other was feeding the
horses, Mr.. Snyder started to hunt
eggs. He took his little boy up in the
hay NOW with him.
His wife feared he might do some
thing desperate and she followed him
up into the hay NOV. He drew a ra-
zor that he had obtained after return
ing home and tried to kill himself. His
wife caught hold of him and tried to
take the razor away.
A desperate struggle ensued. The lit
tie boy of 4 years helped his mother
all he could. Finally Snyder knock
ed his wife down with a pitchfork and
severed her head almost entirely from
her body with the razor. He then tried
to kill himself by cutting his throat
and wrists, but was not entirely sue
cessful. He is still alive today and
seems perfectly rational.
He does not expect to live and told
the authorities of $4,000 he had buried
in the cellar. The money was recover
ed.
Besides the little boy there is
daughter of Z years of age.
Snyder was well to do, being worth
in the neighborhood of $4,000.

Mr.. Wheeler has made his work
conspicuous because of it's practical
value to the agricultural and live stock
interests of Kansas said T. A. Bor-
man, editor of the Kansas Farmer.
There is no question about Wheeler
knowing more Kansas farmers and
more about Kansas farm and live
stock conditions and needs than any
other man. 1t was because Of his ac-
quaintance and his knowledge of these
conditions and the part he has taken
in working. out the breeding. feeding
and agricultural problems that in
duced us to add him to our editorial
staff"
Mr.. Wheeler graduated from Kansas
Agricultural college in 1902. Since that
date he has been continuously en-
ployed by that institution and between
that time and 1909 he was at or near
the head of the animal husbandry de-
partment, and for that department has
written MANY of it's publications.
In the latter year he was transferred
to the extension division and as a
member of the extension force he has
visited every county in Kansas, has
been lecturer on every educational
train run by the college and has put
irto operation many of the helpful ex-
tension features. Since September 1912
Mr. Wheeler has addressed siXty-two
farmers Institutes, attended by ten
thousand farmers and their families,
and in so doing Travelled six thousand
miles
