Pensacola, Fla, Feb. 10.-Pensa-
cola was shocked this morning when
the news spread that John E. Still
man, former collector of the port,
and one of the most prominent citi-
zens of Western Florida, had COM
mitted suicide. His body was found
on the floor OF a room adjoining his
oflce, bullet through his brain and
a revolver gripped in his right hand.
In four letters, three OF when
were directed to members OF his
family, Stillman explained that his
mind was clouded and he believed
he was being driven crazy.
Mr.. Stillman was a native OF Wis
consin and came to Pensacola seven
teen years ago. He was 80 years OF
age. He was king of the Mardl Gras
Carnival here in 1905. He is sur
vived by widow, three sons and a
daughter.

Befriends Negro; Killed.

Augusta, Ca, Feb. 10.-Edward
(Sonny) Collins, aged 63, promi-
nent figure in municipal politics for
many years, was shot to death on
Saturday night by Marshall Shedd,
an engineer on the Georgia Railroad.
From the statements of witnesses
Mr.. Collins was interceding on be-
half of a negro whom Mr.. Shedd
was Furnishing. Shedd becoming in
furiated, placed a revolver to Col
lins's head and fired. Death follow
ed in five minutes.
Sonny" Collins was one of the
most picturesque figures in the city.
Since Immediately after the civil
war, he had been potential factor
in the district politics, sort of Tim
Sullivan" and his influence had been
felt strongly in State elections for
20 years.
Shedd declared to the crowd that
gathered that the negro had attempt
ed to stab him with dirk knife. He
had badly beaten the negro and Mr..
Collins interceded in the negro's be-
half, asking shedd to await the ar
rival of the police patrol. Shedd be-
came infuriated, and slapped Mr.. COL
Inns in the face. The blow was re-
turned and without a moments hesi-
tation Shedd placed the revolver he
had in his hand against Collinss
head and fired.
The arrival on the scene just as
the fatal shot was fired of policemen,
who placed Shedd under arrest and
him to Jail, prevented serious
trouble from the crowd.
Shedd is in the county jail charg-
ed with murder and has permitted
no one to come to his cell. His wife,
who was out of the city, arrived last
night, but he would not see her.

HIS KINSMEN TO THE RESCUE.
But Plan to Take Tom Henderson
from Lookup Fails.

Spartanburg, Feb. 7.-Thomas
Henderson. a young white man, went
on a spree in Landrum last night
and terrorized the town. Defying all
corners to interfere with him, he
smashed windows and bombarded
houses with rocks. Reinforced by a
dozen citizens, the police undertook
to arrest him. Several shots were
fired in the melee which followed,
but nobody was injured. After he
had been dubbed, Henderson was
carried, struggling like wildcat, to
the guard house. An hour or two
thereafter Perry Henderson, his
father, and other relatives, armed
themselves and vowed they were 60
ing to rescue Tom. The citizens
took steps to repel the attack and
the Henderson clan we're finally dis
suaded from their purpose.
Henderson was brought to Spar
tanburg to-day for safe keeping. He
will be returned to Landrum for trial
when the situation becomes less
tense.

BUFFALO AS BEAST OF BURDEN.
Work in Balkan War-Fighter That
the Tiger Fears


war in the Balkans have brought in
to prominence a quadruped which,
though we'll known as a domestic an
imal in the East, is very unfamiliar
to Western eyes-the buffalo. II
mentioned at all this beast is gener-
ally thought of as a savage brute, but
in the war area we find him, says
London Standard, doing duty as
transport animal, equally with the
familiar OK from which he is easily
distinguished in the illustrations by
his low set down-curving horns, and
muzzle carried almost straight for
ward.
People who have to travel by buf-
falo cart are to be p:tled, for the
buffalo is the slowest of all beasts
of draught. 1t is his great strength
that gives him the advantage over
the OK. The load that single yoke
of buffaloes will pull is something
astounding, and in India they are al
ways given the kind of load which is
assigned to dray horses here, ordln-
ary horse work-eXcept passenger
trafic-being there performed by the
bumped oxen known over here as
zebus
India, indeed, is the native home
of the buffalo, and it still exists there
as a wild animal. Very wild indeed
it is. and an old bull is very apt
to attack unprovoked, contrary to
the usual custom of almost all wild
animals. Even it's tame descendants
retain plenty of spirit. When in
herd they do not fear the tiger, and
a recognized method of getting
"stripes'' to bolt when he has taken
cover is to drive in herd of buf-
faloes to rout him out, which they
will do to a certainty if they get on
his scent.
Even tame buffaloes can make
themselves very unpleasant to people
they do not know, and they are not
at all safe for a European to ap-
proach in India, but-and here the
more attractive side of their charac-
ter comes out-they display. toward
their owners faithfulness one usu-
ally associates rather with dogs than
with cattle.
The true Indian buffalo is really to
q great extent an aquatic animal,
and when off duty likes nothing so
much as to lie up to its ears in wa
ter, but like the duck, it can if neces-
sary resign itself to existence with
out a BATH That an animal so near
ly naked of skin as it is should thrive
in so cold climate as is that Of
eastern Europe is remarkable fact
of acclimatization.
It's presence in Italy is less sur
prising, but even there its introduce
ton seems to be merely of medlae-
val date. Scientifically the tame buf-
falo is of interest as having, like the
ass, varied so little from the wild
type. Pied buffaloes are as rare as
pied donkeys, though white and fawn
colored varieties occur as we'll as the
natural black. Like the ass also, the
buffalo is despised anima', yet in
local utility both beasts may surpass
their more aristocratic relatives, the
horse and OK, while in intelligence
and force of character they are GER
tainly far superior.

INLAND EMPIRE CORN SHOWS

The corn crop of Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho is not only large, but
the quality is superior to what was
believed would be grown. Yields of
as large as 125 bushels per acre of
matured corn are assuraed, and
from 10 to 80 tons of corn silage to
the acre are being cut.
The statement of the O.-W. R. &
n. agricultural department that corn
would prove a profitable crop and
that it will soon equal the wheat
yield of the states of the Pacific
Northwest, is borne out by the crop
produced this year.
The paintings are widely scattered
and the area devoted to corn is not
known, but during December two
corn shows are to be held and some
idea as to the acreage will be
gained. there will be exhibits OF
corn from all parts of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho.
In addition to the value of the
crop, the growers are to receive
prizes in cash, farm implements, live
stock and works on agriculture and
horticulture, valued at over S2500.
The dates of the show at Colfax
for the States of Washington and
Idaho are December and 3, and
the show at Pendleton, Ore, will be
held on the 9Th and 9Th of December.
Every grower of corn who makes
an exhibit, either at Colfax or Pen
dleton will be in line for a prize, and
he will further emphasize the fact
that corn can be grown in the Pacific
Northwest. It's production means
much to every land owner in the
states named.

Pullman, Wash, Friday November =, 1919

States senator in Maryland was more
significant than the choice of demo-
cratic governors in Massachusetts
and New Jersey, though the cam
paign in those states was made on
national issues. 1t is very evident
t1at the voters of the manufacturing
states have not been thrown into a
panic by the lowering of the tariff
duties, but are standing by the presf-
dent
The overwhelming defeat of the
Tammany ticket in New York is a
rehuke to the leadership of Boss"
Murphy, which a less thick-skinned
politician would accept as crushing.
Tammany has long been a milestone
about the neck of the democratic
party in the Empire state and the
democrats do not deserve to win I'M
til the organization frees itself from
the domination of men of the Murphy
stamp.
The election of Sulzer to the legis-
lature means but little. He has been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting. His election was a pro
test against Tammany methods
rather than a yindication of his own.
lie has been proved to be lacking in
the moral fibre which holds the con-
fldence of the people.
The most significant feature of the
election in Massachusetts, was not the
big majority given to Walsh the
democratic candidate for governor,
but the small vote polled by Gov
elnor Foss, who ran as an independ-
ent. Foss was formerly a republican,
then became a democrat on the
tariff issue and was three times
elected governor on the democratic
ticket. He was not satisfied with
the tariff policy of the administra-
ton and so deserted the democratic
party and ran as an Independent.
The insignificant vote which he re-
ceived indicates that, while there
has been a general breaking down
OF party lines in New England, he
has changed his political affiliations
too often and too suddenly to retain
the confidence of the people.
