G. A. PINcREE KILLED

About seven o'clock last Friday
evening George A. Pingree, was
shot and killed by his wife, Miliss
Bartholomew Pingres at their
home on South Fourth street, La
mar. In response to a telephone
call from the latter advising Mr..
Pingree of her illness, he came
down from Kornman in his Ford
car arriving in the city about six
o'clock. People saw the couple
on their front porch just before
$50, and the usual evening meal
did not seem to have been served,
or any preparations made for it.
Mrs. Pingree fired four shots into
the body and a fifth bullet was
found in the floor; City Marshal
Downing and County Coroner C.
M. Spicer were both instantly
notified of the tragedy and both
arrived at the same time. The
lifeless body of Mr.. Pingree was
Immediately taken to the Church
4 Adams Undertaking parlors
and within few minutes Mrs.
Pingree was taken to the county
Jail.
No motive for the rash deed
can be assigned excepting jeal-
ousy, and the prisoner has little
to say in discussing the affair.
Mr.. Pingree was superinten-
dent and master mechanic of the
Denver Alfalfa Milling & Pro-
ducts Co; owning and operating
five mills in Prowers county.
As q Lamar resident periodi-

death; his ability as an inventor
and expert mechanic, no less than
the keen interest which he dis
played in the agricultural deve-

business made him popular with

Mr.. MAxEY WILL HELP

A good exhibit for the Prowers
county fair and the State fair is
promised Mr.. Lague by Mr..
Maxey, manager of the large
beet ranch, and same will consist
of the many products from this
famous ranch.
While talking to the Chieftain
writer last Monday morning Mr..
Maxey stated that he had some
truly wonderful crops on that
ranch this year, and he also stated
that he thought an exhibit this
year would be of immense benefit
to this section. He never does
things in a halfway manner, and
the exhibit from that ranch will
be hard to equal.
Many of the farmers have
brought in some wonderful dis
plays of their products already,
and more should do so. 1t is no
easy matter to arrange this dis
play and the best way to do so is
for the people to assist in every
possible way.
The elevator company is en-
titled to considerable credit for
undertaking such a proposition,
and they are entitled to receive
your assistance. Bring in your
exhibit as soon as possible and
this part of Prowers county will
receive boost the like of which
has never before been known.
