GIRL BITES FLYING BULLET
Catches Revolver Ball In Teeth In
Queer Accident Which Might
Have Been Deadly.

Shot in the mouth by the acciden-
tai discharge of a revolver, fifteen
year-old Margaret Mclaughlin of
Philadelphia caught the bullet in her
teeth and spat it out, performing a
feat often faxed in stories, but never
before known to have been actually
accomplished. The bullet took a
tooth with it when the girl expelled
it from her mouth, but, with the ex-
ception of bleeding gum, she was
uninjured.
Two boy neighbors of the girl were
at secOnd-hoor window of the girls
home playing with a revolver, which
they thought was not loaded, while
the girl was in the yard. Suddenly
the weapon went off and the bullet
sped downward toward the girl. She
had her mouth open at the time, and
the bullet struck one of her upper
teeth, knocking it into her mouth.
Immediately she snapped her jaws
in pain and crushed the bullet be-
tween her remaining teeth. When
she opened her mouth to spit out the
blood one tooth and the bullet flew
out.
The only explanation of the curl
GUS case is that the cartridge was
very old, and the force of the bull
let discharged from the revolver was
not very great. The girl had no
marks on her face when she was ta-
ken to st. Joseph's hospital.

I For maintaining or restoring the
fertility Of the fields there is nothing
/ better than barnyard manure. BY the
ordinary methods of piling manure on
| the ground or storing 1t In wooden
pens or boxes, 80 to so per cent OF
its fertility is lost according to the
U. 8. Department of Agriculture.
This loss is brought about In two
ways: First, by teaching or washing
due to heavy rains; second, by fer
mentation or heating caused by lack
of sufficient moisture. Since concrete
pits are waterproof, manure may be
kept in them as moist as may be
necessary and such an enormous
waste in the fertility of the manure
may thus be entirely prevented. One
load of manure from a concrete pit
is. worth IN to loads Of manure as
usually stored. Moreover, with con-
crete pits the supply of manure is
increased by all the liquid manure,
the richest part, from the barn gut
tiers and feeding floors.
Shallow manure pits do very we'll
where the manure can be frequently
hauled to the fields. The walls and
floor should be inches thick. The
clear dimensions Of the pit are:
Depth, 8 feet; width, feet; length,
IL feet. Dig the trench feet inches
deep by feet 10 inches by IL feet
10 inches. BY keeping the sides YER
teal only an inside form will be
needed. Frame the sides and ends
separately. For the sides cut the
Inch siding ~ feet long and nail
1t to the four 2 by inch uprights 8
feet long and equally spaced. The end
uprights for the sides are 2 by 4 inch
pieces nailed fiat to the siding; the
others are also by but are nailed
on edge. 1t is not necessary to cut
these uprights to exact lengths; they
may be allowed to extend above the
siding. Make the siding for the end
sections of the form feet inches
long and at the ends nail 1t to the |
edge of two 2 by inch uprights. |
Place a single by upright between |
each end pair. Cut four cross braces, |
to 10 inches long. from by 4 inch |
tirabers. Have enough sections of |
woven-wire fencing. 71s feet long, to
cover the bottom of the pit
Set up the forms on the finished |
floor so as to allow 5-inch wall on
all sides. Join them by mailing to-
gether the 2 by As at the corners of
the sides and ends. Do not drive the
nails home. Cross-brace with by As
and with 1-inch boards from each cen
trail end upright to the second side up /
right.
Quickly begin filling the forms with
concrete almost wet enough to pour,
and keep it practically the same
height on all sides. Puddle the con-
crete by running long paddle up
and down next to the form. Do not
punch the earthen wall Dirt in the
concrete may make a poor wall. II
the top of the earthen wall tends to

crumble, hold 1t back with 1-inch
boards braced against the forms. To
keep out floor water. the pit may be
extended 6 inches above the ground by
using the lower half of a 1-foot board
to hold back the dirt, by allowing the
remainder to project above the ground
level. and by adding 9 inches to the
height of the inside form. Remove
the forms after the concrete has set
four days by first drawing the nails
in the corner by As. The pit may
be used after 10 days.
Where the manure must be stored
for a considerable length of time,
larger pits or basins are required.
Such pits are seldom made over feet
deep and are wide enough 30 that the
manure may be loaded on a spreader
in the pit and drawn up a roughened
concrete incline or run. The slope for
such run must not be sleeper than
foot up to 4 feet out.
In building a manure basin use a
team with a pillow and scraper to make
an earthen pit in which to build a
concrete basin of the clear dimensions
shown. In laying out the earthen pit.
bear in mind that the concrete walls
and floor are inches thick aud make
due allowance for the same. With a
spade trim the sides and the deep end
vertical.

cross-brace the forms with by incl
timbers. Begin filling with concrete
as for shallow manure pits, and do moi
stop until the job is completed.
Lay the floor for the bottom and the

looked by the purchaser Many per.
sons make the mistake of getting q
cutter which is too small, thus ma
king the operation of filling the silo
very slow and interfering with the
continuous employment of the entire
force of men.
1t Is better to get a machine large
enough so that every one will be able
to keep busy all the time. The larger
cutters are equipped with self-feeders,
a labor-saving device which the small
Ter sizes lack Other factors to be
taken into account in purchasing a
cutter are the amount OF work to be
done and the power available. OF
course. for the filling OF a very small
silo 1t would not be wise to buy a
large machine. Neither would IL be,
advisable to overload the engine or
motor by using cutter which Is too
large for the power available.
Two types OF silage elevators are
In us-the old-style chain carrier and
the blower. The chain carrier re-
quires less power. but is harder to set
up and there is more litter when II is
used, especially in windy weather
For these reasons the blower is now
fast displacing the carrier.
The blower should be placed as
nearly perpendicular as possible so as
to reduce to the minimum the friction
OF the cut corn upon the inside Of the
pipe and lessen the danger OF clog
ging.
The usual length of cutting varies
from one-half TO inch. The latter is
considered little too long. since
pieces OF this length will neither pack
so closely In the silo nor be so COM
pletely consumed when fed as the
shorter lengths. On the other hand.
the longer the pieces the more rapidly
can the corn be run through the cut.

WILL DRILL FOR
 OIL NEAR CITY Jefferson Oil Go. Formed to Drive "Wildcat" Well on
 Rutherford Place.

To prospect for oil on the R. L.. Rutherford place, about seven miles southeast of Pine Bluff, the Jefferson Oil company has been incorporated with capital stock of $10,000, of which $2,975 has been paid in. Oil was found on the Rutherford place two years ago at a depth of TOO feet, while a water well was being drilled. Experienced oil men declare that in dications there are good, and drlll- ing will be commenced at once under the direction of Dan Daugherty, a practical oil man who has sent down many producers. Excepting a boiler all of the rig is on the ground, and 'le company is prepared to go down 2,500 feet.
 The capital stock of the company is divided into 400 shares of $25 each. The officers, directors and stock holders, and the amount of stock held by each follow: R. M. Gal braith, president, ten shares; R. L.. Rutherford. vice president, ten; Reese N. Burks. secretary and treas urer, ten; S. w. Veil, director, ten; Ben Robinson, director eight: D. A. Hensely, G. B.

TRIO OF CROOKS
 BLK OWN BROTHER
Men Landed in Jail by Con- stable Green Sold Stolen
 Auto to Alabama Officer.

That the three men arrested at his request at Little Rock are well known to the police authorities of big sec ton of the country, and nave long list of minor and major misdeeds placed against them. was the state ment made last night by Constable Clin Green, after his return from Lit lie Rock, whither he had gone to hring two of the men. known as Ray and Harris, to this city to answer to charges of defraudlng hotel keepers
 Constable Green announced that Constable Dick Allnut, of Little Rock who made the arrests, would not give up the men, but was holding them himself while he looked into al legations that the trio is responsit 2 for the bank burglary jobs pulled off recently at Carlisle and Hagen. AL ready, it is said, evidence of the pres cnce of the men in those towns at the time of the robberies has been obtained, but nothing of a positive nature has yet been learned.
 The Overland automobile, which had been stolen at Atlanta, Ga., and in which the men were travelling over the country. was turned over to it's owner, w. E. Hearn. who came from Atlanta to Little Rock to get the ma chine.
 Constable Green also discovered that a Ford car, stolen in Georgia. bad been sold byuthe men to con- table at Bessemer, Ala, for $73, on condition that the men would later refund the money and take the car back. The constable is named Kin nebrook, and he is brother of two of the men under arrest, the two men at Little Rock having confessed that their correct names are Kinnebrook' instead of Ray and Harris, as thev ave been known in this section.
 Anglin's case has been fixed for trial today before Justice of the Peace Gabe Meyer. but a continuance will be asked, and it is expected It will be granted.
