says:
The housewives of the country are
losing an opportunity to save money
for themselves and for the producer in
not canning the usual amount of fruit
at this season. The reason given is the
high price of sugar. although it is only
cents above tho normal quotation.
This is a home canning season IL there
ever was one, and we ask women
everywhere to fill their own larders
with delicious homemade canned fruit,
which will produce both economy and
health in the family and greatly aid the
producers of fruit
Fruit is cheap this year, the appeal
adds, and next year commercial canned
fruit will be higher ION account of the
increase in the cost of tin"

Butler Invited Into the Car.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July 22.-Maj.
j. f. Muchert of the 4th Texas In
fantry has reported to army head
quarters the following account of the
killing of Lieut.. Col Butler and Mrs.
SPANIEL:
"CoI. Butler was sitting with me and
other officers and citizens in front OF
the hotel about S.45 pm, when Mr.
and Mrs. SPANIEL drove up in their
car, Mr. SPANIEL driving and Mrs.
SPANIEL occupying the rear seat. Mr..
SPANIEL called Col. Butler to the car,
reached back and opened the rear door,
asking Col. Butler to take the rear seat
with Mrs. SPANIEL. Col. Butler did
SO and the car Immediately drove off
around the corner of the hotel.
After the car had proceeded about
900 yards into the residence part of
town Mr. SPANIEL shot and killed
both Mrs. SPANIEL and Col Butler, fir-
ing several shots into each one. He
then walked to the jail and surrendered
to the sheriff.
"Just how the killing was done can
not be positively stated. as there
seems not to have been any witnesses.
"Col. and Mrs Butler lived at the
Holland Hotel here and both associ-
ated freely with Mr.. and Mrs. Span
nell, proprietors of the hotel. Both
couples took frequent drives in the
automobile in the evening.
Mr. SPANIEL is said to have been
of an extremely jealous disposition.
1t is said he had frequent disagree
ments with his wife. who was a great
beauty. The general opinion here is
that Mrs. SPANIEL had never given her
husband any just cause for jealousy,
and the unanimous opinion is that Col
Butler was absolutely innocent of any
wrong whatever. The case appears to
be cold -blooded, premeditated murder
committed by a man crazed by jeal-
ousy.'
