 THROWN IN RIVER
INDEPENDENCE MAN IS VlCTlM AND TWO ARE CHARGED WITH MOST HORRIBLE CRIME ON RECORD.

Officers, followed by large throng, went to the spot designated by Farr and recovered the body.
 Rider was arrested and lodged in jail here to await his preliminary hearing, which will be held tomor- row The coroner is making an in vestigation of the crime.
 Farr told the officers, it is said, that Rider and Hatler had been hav- ing trouble over some land and that when they met Monday the quarrel was renewed He said Rider de- clared that he would kill Hatler and end the trouble, and fired five shots from a revolver at Hatler. who stag gered to a tree and sat down. He said that Rider then approached his victim and shot him through the tenn pie at close range He says he help ed Rider drag the body to the river and to throw it in.
 When Hatler failed to return home Monday night, search was made and his horse was found in the woods Suspicion was directed to- ward Rider and he was arrested Tuesday, but he denied knowing any thing about Hatler. It was learned that Farr was with Rider Monday and he was arrested. The alleged confession followed

Order Fertilizers Early

Farmers are urged to place orders for fertilizers right away so that there may be the least possible delay, according to c. w. Watson, assistant director of the agricultural extension division. who says: By February lo at least 40 per cent of the fertilizer tonnage of this region has been ship ped but this year less than b per cent has moved so far. This means that the amount is 50.000 cars short of what it should have been.

Mems Committee in the matter of

No doubt he has had orders "higher

will not rest content until she has
full and complete train service. The
committee is in this fight to stay and
they will go to the last ditch to
have what belongs to them and what
has been their joy and pleasure for
so many years. If the Delaware Di-
vision chiefs do not give us what we
want the committee will go back to

interests have already suffered. Every

Last week Senator Pomerene, of

cord the pay roll of he Railroad Ad-

S1.S9S,100 annually, the five highest

year each or an average for the
- men of S19,41S.OO. Think of it!
And Yet the railroads because they
don't pay" are shutting off service to
the people. And poor little Smyrna
Branch is one of them suffering. Is
it any wonder the people are rising
up against such a situation. There
is no real excuse for making a COM
munity of people suffer, under such
a guise of economy" when there are
so many avenues where a saving
might be effected Smyrna Branch
is a part of the Delaware Railroad
which main line showed a substantial
earning last year. Not every depart
ment pays. Many a big merchant
is obliged to carry one or two depart
ments at loss to give a service to
the general whole and Smyrna is but
an instance of this. Grocers will tell
you in a number of cases, they sell
sugar at cost or even at a loss, but
they don't discontinue serving their
customers sugar and drive trade
away. There is just as much reason
for the Railroad Company to keep
sweet with community of 5000 or
more people like Smyrna as with any
other part of the system. Is it not :?

Bateman, of the grammar school, and
Misses Hodgson, Benson and Carson,
of the intermediate grades. Miss Bate
man has been a eacher there for some
years. In recognition of her long
service as a teacher in the Dover
schools the Board of Education unan-
mously adopted resolutions which
were read at the commencement exer-
cises Thursday evening, attesting its
appreciation of her faithful and eff
cient service in the training of the
children of Dover. Miss Bateman
holds an unbroken record of over thir-
ty years. continuous service as a
teacher in Dover schools.
