Ardmore Boy Kills
BeastZy Hun In a
Quarrel on Work Train

Santa Fe system at Laguna, n. M,
late yesterday afternoon.
The lad, whose home is in Ard
more, Okla, is being held at the city
Jail here awaiting the verdict OF a
coroner's jury.
Young Jameson has admitted TO
police here that he killed Hingle,
and claims that the shooting was
the elimination of personal differ
ences and abuses heaped upon him
by Hingle for more than a month.
Hingle, he declares, was decidedly
pro- German in his utterances and
had condemned the United States
government for carrying on the
war against the Huns.
The climax TO the quarrel came
yesterday afternoon while the
freight train on which they were
travelling was standing at Laguna.
They were on their way from
Grants, n. NJ, and were in a bunk
car.
"Hingle had been making pro-
German remarks for some time. lie
had been making life miserable Tor
me ever since | entered the water
service work for the Santa Fe," de
clared Young Jameson today. Yes
terday he became so miserable that
| couldn't stand it any longer. l
was attempting TO throw some saw
dust from our bunk car at Laguna
when he pushed me aside and told
me to get out OF the way. He threat
ened to throw me from the train,
and | honestly believe he would
have had | given him the opportu-
nifty to do so.
Il grabbed my y caliber rifle,
aimed at him and fired seven times.
| really didn't know what | was do
ing. 1t was all so sudden. and all
in the heat of excitement"
Jameson was brought to lsleta on
a freight last night, and was
brought to albuquerque for safe
keeping in the city Jail here by Spe-
cial Santa Fe Officer Manss of Is
leta. The boy did not attempt to
escape after the shooting. He told
members OF the train crew the story
of the killing and stated he was
sorry the sad affair had happened.
The body of Hingle was left at
Laguna. An inquest will be held this
afternoon or tonight.

When Les Segler, chief OF police,
received this message at the station,
at about o'clock yesterday after

ARKANSAS PEACH CROP IS KILLED
Agricultural Specialists Will Seek to Prevent UprOOting of
 Orchards.

Little Rock, Jan. 27-The peach of Arkansas for this year has almost completely been killed, it was said yes- terday by J. A. Hughes, horticulturist for the Missouri Pacific railroad, at a conference of agriculturist specialists called to consider the situation. MT Hughes who was stationed in Little Rock last fall by the railroad in an ef- fort to assist the fruit industry of the state has made an extensive tour since the recent cold weather in an effort to ascertain the effect on peach trees. He said that after having examined many orchards from Russellville to Van Buren, he had failed to find a single peach bud that had not been killed. He said that Bert Johnson. manager of the big peach orchard at Highland, reported that 4.OOO acres or chard will produce nothing this year.
 All those present agreed that there IS grave danger that Orchardists of the state, discouraged by this situa- tion, may tear up their trees and it was decided that united effort should be made to prevent this.
 To Raise Crops in Orchards.
 It was said that the peach crop of Arkansas, under favorable conditions, is worth million dollars year and that the state cannot afford to lose it. It was realized that many owners of orchards cannot afford to have these tracts lying idle and unproduc- tive. Hence it was agreed to urge the farmers to plant their orchards to various crops after first having we'll fertilized the land.
