sent here by Chief Robb Tailed with
the body OF the man at the morgue. on
whose body was found the name Of
Alexander Swanson.
The mystery concerning the finding
OF the body in a pool Of blood has not
been solved. II has been learned that
the man was intoxicated on Friday
and wAO seen roaming about near
where the body was found. Sergeant
/ Of Detectives Green has also located
several colored men who claim they
heard groans coming from the clump
OF trees where the man was found
early Friday night. They made no In
yestigation.
Sergeant Green yesterday removed
the stone on which the mans head
was resting when found. According
10 Dr. II. w. Briggs, falling on this
stone might have produced the wounC
and fractured skull, which caused
death.
That robbery WAS committed wheth

that the shoes Of the man have no

The following advice, which Is ap-

Shorthorn Breeders association:
Many inexperienced breeders mako
the mistake Of going It blindly from

They keep eternally changing, using

seding him with calf. On the other
hand, the constructive breeders rely
mainly on tested sires, mostly quite

often get hard to do with and too often
for this reason are bundled into the
cars and shipped to the shambles. A
big loss Is sustained each year by such
unnecessary and uncalled for sacri-
fees. The wise breeder goes mighty
slow with the use of any untried calf
until he knows what the youngster
can do.
New bulls must be introduced into
every herd, but there Is never any &C.
casion to make the change suddenly.

other to all the breeding females A

much difference in what herd a bull
