SHOOTS GIRL AND
KILLS HIMSELF

When the details of the death of
paddy" Lavelle atKalispell last week
were received, it was learned that he
shot and seriously wounded Miss Bessie
Reynolds in front of the Golden Eagle
saloon and then turned the gun upon
himself and ended his own life, the bull
let passing through his heart, killing
him instantly.
Lavelle fired two shots at Miss
Reynolds, the first passing through the
brim of her hat and through the win
dow of saloon high up. The next
shot passed through her body just
about the heart and into another win
dow of the saloon bringing down a
shower Of glasses in the barroom. She
was rushed to hospital where he
morrhage threatened her life but she is
now reported to be getting along very
nicely.
1t seems that Lavelle had been going
with the girl for some time. She had
made the statement that she intended
going to Columbia Falls, and Lavelle
had been watching her closely all day,
presumably to keep her from following
out her plans. 1t was noticed earlier in
the evening before the shooting that he
had become somewhat intoxicated
Later he probably became overwrought
over the girls avowal to leave and fol-
lowing an alteration between them
had tried to murder her, and believing
that he had accomplished the deed,
committed suicide.
Lavelle, couple of years ago. mar
ried young girl on the reservation
who was at that time of very pre-
mature age. She was about quarter
breed Indian. The girls mother had
applied for an annullment of the mar
riage, and the court decided to let the
matter rest with the girls decision
Whatever course she took, Lavelle had
not been living with her for some time
He had reputation for being quarrel
some and disorderly. He was of Irish
descent, and Of medium height and
stocky build, possessing considerable
physical strength, He was about thir-
ty-five years of age, and the girl is re-
ported to be about eighteen.

GRASSHOPPERS ARE
EASILY POISONED

Farmers need no longer be helpless
against tn ravages of the grasshop-
per hordes in their fields, says a bull
letin from the apartment of agricul-
ture. If discovered in the early days
of their attack these pests are now
quite easy to control by means Of
poisoned bait, the most effective OF
which is described below. This meth
cd has been used with remarkable
success in many parts of the United
States, its complete effectiveness de-
pending only upon the discovery of
the young insects before they have
attained any considerable size, when
the injury done by them is still very
slight, and when they are Wingless
and easily killed by poisons or me-
clanical means. Entomologists in
the United States department of agri
culture tell how to make and apply
this bait as follows:
The constituents are wheat bran,
% pounds: Paris green, 1 pound, or
white arsenic, 1 pound; lemons or
oranges, 6 finely chopped; low grade
moasses such as refuse from sugar
factories, or cattle molasses known
as "black strap" quarts; water 2
to 4 gallons. The bran and paris
green or other arsenical are thor
oughly mixed while CRY, the fruits
finely choppd and added and lastly
the molasses and water are poured
over the bait and the whole thor
oughly kneaded. A coarse-flaked bran
is most desirable, although where
this cannot be obtained easily ordi-
nary middlinGs or alfalfa meal may
be suhstituted a low grade, strong
smelling syrup or molasses, however,
is essential to the entire success of
the poison. Crushed ripe tomatoes,
watermelons, or lines may be sub
stituted for the lemons and oranges,
if necessary. Ordinary powdered
white arsenic (arseniQus acid) con-
tains nearly twice as much arsenic
as Paris green and is comparatively
low in price. The powdered form of
arsenate of lead may be used, but in
this case twice as much of it must
be used as of the Paris green.
The poisoned bran bait is distrlb-
uted over the infested fields by SOW
ing broadcast, either on foot or from
a light wagon or buggy. In applying
the bait in orchards, care must be
taken to avoid distributing it close
to the trees, because severe injury
to fruit trees occasionally results
from heavy applications of arsenical
poisons.
The time of day chosen for dis
tributing the poisoned bats has an
important bearing upon the results
secured. The bait is best applied
in the early morning, before sunrise,

if possible Farmers should not be
discouraged if the grasshoppers do
not drop dead Immediately upon eat
ing the poison, as it takes "a hours
or more for the full effect of the bait
to become apparent.
Further information in regard to
grasshoppers and their control may

WEATHER BUREAU
 ISSUES WARNING Cold Wave Is Advancing With Great Rapidity
 Along Gulf Coast

The weather bureau office in Bir- mingham received the following warn ing at Il o'clock yesterday morning:
 Partly cloudy tonight and Monday; probably snow flurries in north por- ton. Much colder Monday, with a cold wave"
 At s;SO p. m., the following warning was received:
 Cold wave is advancing with great rapidity. Temperature below freez- ing to the gulf coast Monday morning, and much below freezing in central portion. Severe cold in north portion. Northwest gales"
 The cold wave made phenomenal progress southeastward within the last 24 hours, according to the wealth. CT bureau. No indication of it's move ment was shown on Saturdays map. This mornings map indicated it's early development and the first warning was issued. Midday observations were made at all stations today as a pre- cautionary measure, and the results of these observations were charted, and a very rapid movement of the cold wave was indicated, and the second warning was then issued by the Wash ington office.
 Owing to the limited number of re- ports received from other weather bu- reau stations yesterday, the local of flces are not able to tell with much definiteness the temperature that may tc expected, but the special warnings from the Washington office, furnish such information as is necessary to enable interested persons to protect any property that may be affected.

CIVIC ASSOCIATION
 WILL MEET TONIGHT Important Committee Will Be Appointed Looking to
 Freight Rate Reduction

A vigorous campaign to bring small and diversified industries to Birmingham will
 be instituted at a general meeting of the Birmingham Civic association in Judge Pugh's courtroom at o'clock tonight committee to investigate the steel 1 situation with a view to getting equal ized steel rates in Birmingham will be appointed. A traffic committee will also

 making this city rate making point. Other subcommittees to aid in the work of bringing small industries to Birming-
 ham will be appointed by the board of
 directors at a later date.
 The Birmingham Civic association has declared Itself in favor of lower freieht
 rates for Birmingham. and has pledged
 itself to make every possible effort to-
 ward bringing about this result. Presi dent James Weatherly, Secretary Thomas
 l.. Cannon and the board of directors
 of the association have expressed the
 belief that discriminatory freight rates are keeping Birmingham from her right
 ful place in the commercial and civic
 world and pledges to remove this evil
 formed one of the strong points on which
 the new organization was formed. At the meeting tonight, General Secre- tary Thomas L. Cannon, elected at .
 meeting of the board of directors Sat-
 urday afternoon, will be formally intro
 duced to the members of the associa- ton.
 The committee in charge of the select- ing of permanent headquarters is o0- pected to be ready at the meeting to an- nounce deal by which permanent of- fees and an assembly room shall have been obtained for the association As soon as such deal is closed. the associa- tion will move into its new quarters, and
 General Secretary Cannon will be estab- lished in his new quarters with a crew of clerks and office holp.
