Immediately after the shooting,

on his way to the station, is reported
to have said. II was born and raised
IN Texas and I always hit the mark"
The store where the shooting took
place was crowded with men. It was

then he followed. Passing through
the lobby, Ives is said to have re-
marked to man seated there, "Come
with me II you want to see some fun"
Loehr had just moved up to the
counter and was turning around
when Ives fired. The bullet entered
Loehr's cheek and passed through
the head. One man at Loehr's elbow
believed a joke was being played and
that Loehr had been struck with
torpedo. Ives shouted Nov you can
take me 10 the station.
Wired Father of killing.
He walked into the street, entered
the telegraph Office and sent a wire to
his father, F. B. Ives, Oshkosh, advis-
ing him of the tragedy He then con-
tinued on his way to the station until
intercepted by officers.
"My Son Was Fearless"
MRS. Victoria Ives, mother of Ives,
at her home in Oshkosh, said the
tragedy was the result of environment
in which her son was brought up.
She said they lived in Texas in DAYS
when men carried guns and when they
sometimes administered the law by
getting the drop on the other fellow
first. She said that Rolla had been
accustomed to seeing men with hols-
tiers on their hips and guns in their
pockets. He has also been an OBJ
server of great many family feuds
and quarrels which ended sometimes
under disagreeable circumstances
When Rolla grew to manhood he was
paymaster for his father, who was
then in the lumber business in Texas.
1t was necessary for him as paymas-
ter to go about armed, for often the
mere matter of 5 cents would pro-
woke a quarrel.
IF he had a gun after that" said
his mother, ST do not know about it.
He must have kept it hidden. Rolla
was fearless mamie did not know
what fear was. We are greatly shock
ed and surprised to know that he
would go to extremes. 1t would have
been more natural for him to have
struck this man with his fist and
knocked him down But we are as
sured that something unusual must
have occurred if he resorted to fire.

PIGMENT FOR PAINT
FROM THE SALTON SEA.

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif-A giant
pigment factory established by ma
ture has been found on the shores of
Salton Sea-a sheet of water whose
ld1osyncrasies have for a dozen years
been a mystery to geologists-on the
rim OF the Imperial Valley, tucked
away in the exereme southeast corn
er of California.
From slowly bubb1ing springs on
the swampy ground left by the re-
cedlng waters Of this strange inland
sale sea formed in the Salton Sink in
1906, comes peculiar creamy sub
stance which cools and hardens on
exposure to the air, and which has
been found to be a good pigment.
Mixed with oil and heated, this sub
stance makes a high grade of paint.
The pigment is found in green.
deep red, and yellow, while yet many
other shades may be made by the ap-
plication of heat. 1t may be refined
by a simple and inexpensive process.
The cause of the phenomenon is as
yet unexplained. For many years be-
fore the filing of the sink with water,
in 1906, the area had been a great
salt desert. One suggestion is that
earth the filtering of the water in
to the earth may have induced chem
ical action which started the pig
ment volcano.
Already this giant paint shop of
nature, 40 acres in extent, has attract
ed the attention of natural scientists
and business men, The flow of pig
ment seems to be in never-ceasing
supply. Mineral claims have been
filed on the district by its discoveries
and large shipments of pigment al
ready made.

draw the plan of the garden. "The
garden plan," says Mr.. Moore, SHOULD
show the location of the different
crops, distance between rows if more
than one crop is to occupy the area
during the season and the approx
mate dates for planting. If proper
ly made it will help make all the land
work all the time. Practically all the
garden should grow two crops and
part of it should grow three. Warm
season vegetables, such as beans and
tomatoes, and late seeded ones like
turnips, may follow early, cool seas
on crops such as lettuce, spinach, rad
ishes and onion sets. The old-fash-
toned city garden containing nothing
but lettuce, radishes and onions has
gone. Particular attention should be
given to vegetables which may be
stored for winter. The short season
crops such as lettuce, radishesa and
spinach should be sown between the
rows of long season crops. Globe
radishes may be grown in the same
row with carrots, parsnips and beets.
They can also be planted between the
young plants of cabbage, tomatoes
and the corn hills"

BELGIAN LAD IS
PROUD MEMBER OF
YANKEE REGIMEN!
(By Associated Press,

PARIS. March 25.--A youngster Of
10 created a sensation in the reading
room Of the Knights of Columbus club
In Paris recently by appearing before
the assembled Yankee soldiers garbcd
in the uniform OF an American marine
with two wound stripes and three SER
vice stripes on his sleeves.
More than year ago some Of the
marines were stationed in a little
French village when a little Belgian
boy came to their camp. He was re-
cefved with open arms. and when he
told the story OF how his mother and
father had passed away, they adopted
him as the mascot Of the regiment
Jean Moyeaux has been with the ma
rines every momInt since that day
when the little refugee, hungry and
lonesome, reached the camp.
During two engagements the little
Belgian boy was wounded. and one
of his little legs is crippled. He walks
with limp, but he always hopes that
he will some time be able to walk as
straight as his friend, the corporal.
The corporal adopted the youngster,
and soon he was loved by every men,
Der of the 18th regiment. He is
clever youngster all In the past year
has learend much of the ways Of the
American.
A knights of Columbus secretary
gave the little soldie some candy and
piled the refugee with questions. "Me
no Francois, me Gelge," said the
youngster. "Me like Americana. Spose
Corporal say, me go to American with
la regiment. Me no talk beacoup Ang-
lais. Me understand beacoup." From
head to foot the young Belgian was
CARRIED in the uniform of the Marines.
On his arm he carried little rain
Goa. and he proudly displayed the
numerals which showed that he was
a member of the gallant 18th.
One of the young men at the Knights
of Columbus club asked him why he
did not have sergeant's stripes.
Corporal he make me one uniform
now for promenade. When me prom
enade me wear sergeant's suit. Then
me boss corporal. My ladder and
mudder mort now. Corporal he ladder
to me. Will go to America with
ma rines.'
There were tears in the eyes of
many of the soldier boys who were
gathered at the Knights of Columbus
club. They had been through much.
but this little figure with the two
wound stripes and warped limb gave
them just another incident Of the hor-
rors of the German attacks in France
and Belgium.
Little Jean Moyeaux will go to the
United States with his corporal and
the marines. The captain loves the
little youngster. And every man in
the regiment would fight for the Bel
gian boy who has learned to love, and
who has learned to know the Ameri-
can soldier as he really is.
