DRAMATIC GUNF|cH7
At M0G0LL0N LIKE
TALE Of BRET HARTE
KILLING OF zAPATA RESULT OF
DUEL SUCH AS MARKED GOOD
OLD DAYS; SURVIVOR LAUGHS
AT WOUNDS

Silver City, N. M, April 2.--One Of
history OF the southwest, one redolent
with the atmosphere Of Bret Harte and
the A%rgonauts, was pulled off In Mo-
COLON in-the saloon of Pete Almarez,
a ~well-known and picturesque charac-
ter of that camp for many years,
says the Enterprise. AS a result of
TIE difficulty, Cosmo Zapata, proprie-
tor of a rival saloon, lies buried in
the MogDllon cemetery and Almarez is
nursing q wounded shoulder and arm,
but walking around.
There had been bad blood between
the two men, so 1t Is reported, for a
number of years. Both were noted for
their nerve and foolhardy bravery, but
neither sought the company Of the
other until Zapata walked into the sa-
loon owned by Aimarez. His very go
ing there was foolhardy in the ex-
IRENE, say those acquainted with the
long standing affair between the two
men. 1t didn't take very long for a
quarrel to start and the bystanders in
the saloon say the two men stood on
opposite sides of the bar each with bis
pistol stuck in the others abdomen
while they disputed oyer their diff
culties. This lasted several minutes
and the bystanders were powerless to
interfere as they knew it meant death
to the meddler. Soon the pistols be-
gan popping. Zapata, it is alleged,
fired two shots before Pete pulled his
fripunnr Tho Rrcf shot ufftrnr Datn
on the shoulder blade and glanced up
ward, coming out at the back. II it
had gone down, the physicians say he
would have been dead instantly. The
other shot went through his arm, prob
ably as he attempted to ward off the
others gun. Then Pete got his bat
terry in action and the first shot went
through the center of the mans body
just above the naval, killing him al
most instantly. Pete used an auto
matte and zapata a .3S.
Pete walked over to his cash book,
and balanced the cash while the on
lockers admonished him to have his
wounds dressed. Grimly he went on
balancing his cash, saying that he
knew the wounds didn't amount to
and that he would have them at
to when he got around to it."
It took him some time to 'get around
10 it" and he walked over to the drug
store where a physician attended him.
There was not a culver of a muscle as
The physician dressed the raw wounds

lad just had a cold plunge.
Zapata leaves a wife and large fam
ly Of children. He was aged about As
Years.

He was given a preliminary hearing

MUST FIGHT FIGHT OF GERMAN
PEOPLE THEMSELVES, He SAYS

The declaration that a state OF war exists with Germany,
and that America accepts the status of b~elligerent thrust upon
her; a recommendation that an army of 100000 men be raised
at once on the universal service plan, and that the United
States go the whole route in assisting the cause of democracy
in the world to overthrow the German Imperial govern
ment''-these were the burden of the solemn and impressive
address made to congress by President Wilson last night.
Without going into details the president reviewed all the out
RACES suffered during many bitter months and the impos-
sibility of escaping from the nations responsibility of taking
up arms i'll behalf Of self government in Germany as in the
rest of the world. Armed neutrality or any kind Of neutrality
he declared no longer possible.

that the thought of the nation has
been altered or clouded by them.
No Selfish Object
II have exactly the same things II
mind, now, that l had in mind when
addressed the senate on the 22nd o.
January last: the same that l had In
mind when / addressed the congress
on the Bird of February and on the
Goth of February. Our object now,
as then, is to vindicate the prin-
ciples of peace and justice in the life
of the world against selfish and auto
cratic power and to set up amongst
the really free and ~self-governed peo-
pies of the world such a concert OF
purpose and of action as will hence
forth insure the observance of these
principles. Neutrality is no longer
feasible or desirable where the peace
of the world is concerned and the
freedom of it's peoples and the
menace to that peace and freedom
lies in the existence of %autocratic
governments backed by organized
force which is controlled wholly by
their will, not by the will of their
people. We have seen the last OF
neutrality in such circumstances.
No Fight With German People
we are at the beginning of an age
in which it will be insisted that the
same standards of conduct and of re-
sponsibility for wrong done shall be
observed among nations and the gov
ernments that are observed among
the individual citizens of civilized
states. We have 10 Quarrel with the
German people. We have no feeling
toward them but II of sympathy and
friendship. 1T was not upon their
impulse that their government acted
in entering this war. It was not with
their previous knowledge OF approval,
1t was a war determined upon as wars
used to be determined on in the old,
unhappy days when peoples were
nowhere consulted by their rulers and
wars we're provoked and waged in the
interests of dynasties, of little groups
of ambitious men who were accus
toned to use their fellowmen as
pawns and tools.
"Self-governed nations do not fill
their neighbor states with spies or
set the course Of intrigue to bring
about some critical posture Of affairs
which will give them an opportunity
to strike and make conquest. Such
designs can be successfully worked
only under cover and where no n
has the right to ask questions.
"Cunningly contrived plans of de-
ception or aggression, carried, 1t
maybe from generation to generation,
can be worked out and kept from the
light only within the privacy of courts
or behind the carefully g~uaraded CON
fidences of a narrow and privileged
class.
Democracy Means Peace
1They are happily impossible
where public opinion commands and
insists upon full information con-
corning all the nations affairs. A
steadfast concert for peace a never
be maintained except by a partner
ship of democratic nations. No auto
cratic government could be trusted to
keep faith within it or observe its
covents. 1t must be a league of honor,
a. partnership of opinion. Intrigue
would eat its vitals away. The plot
tings Of inner circles who could plan
what they would and render account
to no one, would be a corruption seat
ed lat its very heart. Only free peo-
pies can hold their purpose and their
honor steady to a common end and
prefer the interests of mankind to any
narrow interest of their own. Does

HOME MIXED FEEDS,

National Crop Improvement Service. ]
When man undertakes to mix his
own rations, what does he do? He
buys straight feeds. Take cottonseed
meal as a common example. There
are great many different grades of
cottonseed meal, and the man who is
looking for a low-priced feed is sure
to get low grade. The demand for
cheap feeding ingredients has caused
the quality to be gradually whitfield
down. Consequently the farmer
nearly always works with feeds which
are poorer than he believes them to
be. He does not get adequate state
protection because inspectors do not
go to farmers barn to draw sam
pies, and even If they did, it would be
hard to get complete chain of evil
dence.
A farmer has no facilities for hav-
ing his feed analysed and he doesn't
know what he is working with. The
analyses of mixed feeds costs about
ten cents per ton, and if every farmer
will read the various bulletins from
the agricultural colleges he will soon
know those brands which can be de-
pended upon. There is no doubt that
at the present prices of grain any
farmer can save money by selling his
cereal crops and buying mixed feed

THE BEST DAIRY FEED
Made From Grain From Which the
Human Food Values Have
Been Taken.
By Prof. F. D. Fuller.

National Crop Improvement Seryice.1
The reason why the best dairy
feeds are less expensive than the same
grains on the farm is because the
principal elements of human food are
taken from these grains before they
are ever made into feed. The by
products of cereal mills, glucose fac
tories, malt houses, etc., constitute
often more than SO per cent of the
total bulk of mixed dairy feeds of the
better class.
These oats, barley and corn BY
products are considered by experts in
animal nutrition as very valuable
feed materials. After these cereals are
ground in the manufacture of alcohol,
for which the use is growing more i'm
portant daily in the arts, the solid
residue is dried in vacuo, and is then
known as ''dried grains" If made
from corn, these grains contain on an
average of about 80 per cent crude
protein and 10 per cent crude fat. If
made from rye, while valuable, they
are of somewhat lower feed value.
The barley residue contains over 70
per cent more crude protein than
wheat bran and twice as much crude
fat. In fact, their food value is
largely increased by the process.
All these products are widely used
by the best dairy feeders and are re-
lied upon very extensively in milk
production. There is no doubt of the
fact that if the supply of these prod
ucts were radically limited or entirely
exhausted, it would have serious eff
feet upon the milk production
throughout the country and the
dairymen would have one more bur-
den added to their already overtaxed
strength.
Cottonseed meal is composed prin-
cipally of the kernel, with such por-
tion of the hull as is necessary in the
manufacture of oil. Cottonseed meal,
if choice, must contain at least Al per
cent crude protein. 1t is one of the
richest of all feeds in this substance
and carries about 8 per cent crude
fat. On account of it's extreme con-
centration it can be fed only in lin
tied quantities and always in con-
junction with some products to fur
nish bulk. This meal is an important
ingredient in many manufactured
feeds.

G. H. Packard, of Delavan, Wiscon-
sin, progressive and practical dairy
man, was not satisfied with his ration
OF homegrown feed. Although he
mixed his ration with brains and it
seemed to be theoretically correct, he
thought he would try out his own
mixture in comparison with first
class dairy feed. Much to his surprise
he found that he could save about
five lbs. of grain per cow per day and
nearly cents per cow. He figured
his own grain at prices much below
the wholesale market and bought his
mixed feed at retail.
Also when his ration was figured &C.
cording to Armsby or Energy method
his mixed feed proved to be the right
combination to make balanced ration
with his own farm roughage.

COMMERCIAL FISHING
Communicated

While passing thru the streets OF
Ely l accidently overheard a rather
animated argument for and against
commercial fishing along the Inter-
national boundary. / heard enough to
convince me that both parties meant
well, but neither one knew what
they were talking about. They were
not listening to each ether as in or
binary conversation, just making a
noise, something along the order Of
a parrot. The thought struck me at
the time. that. in all fairness to such
people, to ourselves and as many of
your readers, who have given this
matter any thought / should present
my honest opinion gained thru many
seasons of experience as commercial
fisherman along the international
boundary, in Lake and Cook counties.
We occasionally read press items
expressing the thoughts of some we'll
meaning citizen on the subject, even
backing their ideas with statistics
and facts based on conservative poll.
cies Of other countries. l have yet
to see or hear of anything on inland
fishing, backed by facts that con-
forms in any way with the first hand
knowledge of fishermen or the in.
terested public and relative only to
the territory concerned. While we do
not doubt the good intentions of the
authors, but the element of fairness,
dear to the heart of every true Amer
lean, is eliminated, for when brought
to the attention of the man who
knows and is vitality interested, only
smiles IF they would write what
they actually know, a little round
circle would serve the same pur-
pose"
1t is safe bet that about 80 per
cent of the public that give any
thought to the matter of commercial
fishing are Of the fixed opinion, that
the fisherman, and his brother the
trapper, are shiftless lot of vaga-
bonds, looking for an easy living, and
should be considered as parasites,

meal are all high, but the by-products
of barley and-rye are all more reason
able in price.
Corn has become costly largely due
to the demand for pork and beef.
Americans will have those meats at
almost any price. This puts corn on
meat basis, and the dairy business
will have to fall back on the by-prod-
ucts of grains.
