AMERICUS man
WAS MURDERED
In TALLAHASSEE
KILLED FOX MONTHS WAGES
Mutilated Body Found Near
The Ci.y

Relatives in Americus have been ap-
prised of the foul murder at Tallahas-
see of Mr.. Robert Steinheuten, for
merly of this city but for some time
employed in the shops of the Sea-
board railway at Tallahassee, as a
machinist, where he resided with his
family.
The crime was committed several
days ago, but was only revealed here
quite recently. After having been
hacked to pieces the body was buried
by the murderers, and only found af-
ter diligent search.
Mr.. Steinheuten was married here
several years ago to Miss Jete1 !
daughter of the late w. A. Jeter and
of Mrs. Jeter, who still resides here.
The family had planned visit to Mrs.
Jeter herel
Upin their failure to arrive at the
expected date, message was sent to
ascertain the cause of delay. Suspi-
cion was aroused among Mr.. Stein
heuten's friends in Tallahassee, ana
a search was made with the result
that the body was found buried in d
shallow grave near the city.
1t is said that Mr.. Steinheuten had
been killed with knives, the body be.
ing badly mutilated. Robbery was
suspected as the incentive for the
crime, but the murderers got nothing,
as the money of the slain man-$175-
was found carefully hidden in one OF
his shoes.
Mr.. Steinheuten was about 35 years
Iof age and is survived by his wife and
three little children. Two negroes
are suspected of having killed him for
his money and failing to find it, had
tumbled the bloody and mutilated body
into a grave to conceal it.
Mrs. Jeter has gone to Tallahassee
to be with her daughter in her be-
reavement and will probably bring the
stricken family to Americus at once.

EXCELLENT CAT CROP
ON old BAGLEY FARM
fifteen-T Thousand BusheI Crop
Grown

While many Sumter county farmers
reported fine yields of oats this sum-
mer, the distinction of having produc
ed the greatest quantity belongs to
Judge James A. Hixon, who produced
crop of fifteen thousand bushels on
the former Bagley farm, over which he
has supervision. Judge Hixon also
raised crop of five thousand bush
els upon his own farm, near Ameri-
Gus, which for the acreage planted
proved even better crop than thu
on the Bagley farm.
Judge Hixon is firm believer in
grain, and his oat crops are always
among the best in the county. He
will have both crops threshed out and
sacked this week, and the 10000 bush
els in the aggregate will make a show
even upon Sumter county planta-
ton.

the Columbus division of ths

been rebuilt or greatly strengthened.
This division is the Centrals tourist
route to Florida, and this fact, together
with the increase in commercial busi-

rebuilding the road and putting it IN

SAILORS BURN

SEATTLE Scene OF RI0TINd
Seamen From Warships Start
Trouble

Seattle, Wash, July 19.-While the
officers of the Pacific fleet reserve Of
the United States navy were dancing
at the army and navy ball in the state
armory late last night and early to-
day, several hundred of their sailors
and marines were marching through
the streets of the city denouncing the
Industrial Workers of the World, and
the red flag, sacking and burning
socialist and Industrial Workers
headquarters, and in their excitement
demolished a Salvation Army meeting
room before learning that they had
mistaken the place.
The city headquarters of the Mod
crate Socialists and the Radical So
cialists were sacked and the books
and furniture carried into the street
and burned.
A socialist news stand on the prin-
cipal street corner of the city was
destroyed and the big meeting room
of the Industrial Workers of the
World, in the southern part of the
city, was stripped of it's belongings,
which were thrown from a second
story window and burned in the
street. The police offered no resist
ance to the rioters. Some of the o.
ficers said that all the force was busy
handling the crowds attending the
golden potlatch festivities and no re-
serves were available to cope with
the rioters.
The hat bands of the cruisers
Charleston, Colorado and Californi..
were most numerous among the sail
ors. A few uniformed members Of
the Washington naval militia joined
with the men, though citizens made
up most of the mob.
The actual destruction of property
was carried on by uniformed men, i'll
cluding a number of petty officers.
The damage is estimated at $4,000.
A report was widely circulated to-
day that Secretary of the Navy jose
phus Daniels, in speech at the
Rainier club, had taken the Industrial
Workers of the World as his subject
and had declared that they and all
other believers in the red flag shouI l
be driven out of the country. Those
who heard the address of the secre-
tary say it was exceedingly moderate
and had no reference to any local
trouble. Nor did he at any time men
ton the Industrial Workers.

GRATEFUL RAINS

SHOWERS FELL YESTERDAY
Backbone Of Drouth 1t Is

Ae grateful as an oasis in the deso
orr to weary travellers was the ra
that fell yesterday afternoon to th'
neonle of Americus. After the in
tense heat that has run into record
breaking figures the latter part OF the
week, the showers were most pleas
ing
Before noon it became evident that
rain would likely fall before the day
closed. The fact that clouds began to
gather about midday brought the
hone that there would be good rain
TO check the hurtful drouth that had
nreyailed here so long that it has
injured crops. A few light showers
fell about 4 o'clock, followed by 9th
ers later in the afternoon. The thun-
der showers cooled the air, in addi-
ton to their bringing rain, and made
the afternoon the most pleasant that
has been felt here in long time.
Before the thunderstorms began
brewing, however, it seemed that the
mercury would come very near reach
ing a record mark again. About /
o'clock just before the clouds gathered
and began to cool off things, the mer-
curry went up to the 106-degree mark.
according to the official figures kept
by local Weather Observer Bryan. This
was within one degree of the record
beat of the day before. Within a short
time, however, the thunderstorms sooa
chased the mercury down the tube in
to the seventies, affording pleasing
night for sleep last night Though the
forecast is for generally fair weather
today, it is hoped that there may be
more showers.

PUSH SHOT IN GOLF.
BETTERS CONTROL
Stroke Being Advocated by
Leading Experts of
England.

Golfers in England are discussing
the push shot, and the papers have been
filled with arguments against one o.
the very best shots in golf. J. II. Tay-
Tor, the former British open champion,
has some interesting remarks which
should prove useful to all golfers. lie
says this in part:
The ball should be placed nearly
opposite the right foot, and the weight
of the body carried well forward on
the left leg and must be kept there
throughout. The hands should be
held well forward, which will have the
effect Of keeping the head of the club
well on to the ball; in fact the hands
should be in front of the clubhead and
kept there until the stroke is nearly
completed. The arms should be carried
back firmly and stiffly. with the left
well extended. The hands should not
be carried higher than the right shout
der It is in reality push from the
shoulders and not a hit, a distinction
with a subtle difference.
How to HIT Ball.
The ball should be struck just be-
fore the club has reached the bottom
of the swing, care being taken to pre-
vent the head plunging into the turf
If this be done the tendency of the ball
viii be to scar Immediately and the
stroke spoiled On the contrary, the
still in front of the head, low, par
allel to the ground and away.
1T must be recognized that the push
snOt played with any club cannot get
the ball as far as it can be done if
played in the ordinary way, and this
fact alone should give us the clue to
the riddle. If the ball cannot be got
as far there must be some prOpelling
factor absent from it. In order to get
the ball q long distance the wrists
must be applied smartly and fleXibly
If this be so, it is reasonable to in
fer that if the wrists are applied
slowly and stiffly the flight of the
ball is somewhat deadened and flies
sluggishly. The flight is checked by
the stiff application of the wrists
Control From Push Shot.
The push shot is used because the
flight OF the ball is much better con-
troled by the methods employed than
If the wrists are allowed to come into
ordinary stroke the weight of the
body is applied and travels through a
shade behind the club head, the pri-
mary motive power of which is sup
piled by the fOrearms and wrists. It
is this rather late application of the
weight coupled with the flexible ap-
plicatiOn of the wrists and forearms,
which is carried through and upward
toward the left shoulder that gets the
ball up into the air. It is, therefore,
safe to assume that If the weight IS
head, and the wrists and fOrearms are
held stiff and made to travel in par
allel line to the surface of the ground
as far as they can go, and are not
allowed to travel upward and toward
the left shoulder the ball is prevented
from soaring until the end of its
flight
