Farmers Of lower New Castle coun-
" claim that so much rain has ruined
their tomato crop prospects, and in
many instances the growers. have
plOughed up their entire patches, and
will grow late crops of potatoes,
beans, and other vegetables in the
place OF the tomato. The numerous
rams have caused the vines to be-
come scalded, with the result that but
lew tomatoes were found in the
patches, many vines being without a

The Delaware peach crop, according
to the fruit shipping department of
the railroads, seems to be a very poor
one, in quality, presumably because
Of the too heavy rains the early part
Of the month, and last month. The
truit seems to be suffering from a
blight. The present shipments are
coming from Seaford and Laurel,
mostly. 1t is expected that those COM
ing IN the late part of this month, and
on about the 5th of September will
be very much better in quality.

Charles Bradley, 1908 Fourth

Bradley, Company D. Twenty-sixth
infantry, who was killed fighting
with the American expeditionary
force in France, has notified the
war department that the body of
his son is to remain in France.
This information was solicited by
the government in a letter and
printed blank card recently receiv-
ed by Mr.. Bradley.
1t was originally planned by the
war department in every case to de-
liver the bodies of deceased SOL
diers to their home addresses. In
numerous instances, however, the
desire was expressed that the body
should remain abroad, and General
Pershing is likely soon to enter
into negotiations with the French
and allied governments with the
view of establishing permanent
cemeteries for members Of the
American expeditionary forces. A
bill is now before congress for the

CITY OFFICIAL

City Marshal Nike Azizian Kills
EIva ~PeOria7 Cooper, Con-
stable, Saturday Afternoon.

Gun play in the Holy City. Bet
tendorf's foreign settlement. SNUFF
ed out another life Saturday after
noon.
Elva Peoria" Cooper, So, deputy
constable, was shot and killed by
Deputy Marshal Mike AZiEian. Is.
Constable W. c. Collins and Nike
Ogospian were spectators.
Town Marshall John Boland was
less than a block from the scene of
the crime After the murder, AEizfan
held Constable Collins at the point
Of his revolver while he backed
from the room. He surrendered to
Marshal Boland.
The shooting occurred while Con-
stable Collins and his deputy were
searching Ogospian's room1ng
house on John Doe search war
rant.
They had unearthed two cases
and two jugs Of whisky when Azfz-
ian appeared in the doorway and
fired. Cooper spraWled over one Of
the Jugs with a bullet through his
spine. Azizian fired again at col
Inns, missing, before backing from
the room.
Azizian is alleged to have owned
part of the whisky. He used a So
caIiber automatic revolver in the
murder, shooting steel jacketed bull
lets. He is now confined to the coun-
ty jail.
Saturdays murder has an inter-
esting angle in that both of the
men were regularly appointed offic-
ers of the law.
1t is no secret in Bettendorf that
there is hard feeling between Mar
shall Boland and Constable Collins.
That the murdered man should
have been a deputy constable, and
the murderer a deputy marshal,
throws an unusual angle into the
otherwise sordid tragedy.
There is much rumor rife on the
streets of the little town as to the
real cause of the shooting.
Was Handed Warrant.
Constable Collins story is clear
and concise. He said:
81 was handed John Doe search
warrant sworn out before Justice
Of the Peace W. T. Sanders. The
warrant was for a certain house in
the Holy City, and was instructed
to look for whisky which was be-
lieved to be concealed there.
81 at once attempted to get in
touch with Sheriff Klehl, but he
was out on another case at the
time. There was no time to lose
and the first man met was 'Peo-

COLUMBIAN cLua.

The social meeting OF the Columbian
club was held on Monday last with
Prof. c. J. Brosnan as the speaker Of
the afternoon. IN the club calendar
this was designated as Idaho day. and
1t was most appropriate to have the
history of the state reviewed by one
so thoroughly at home with the sub
1ect.
Dividing the history into periods,
Professor Brosnan spoke most inter-
estingly Of the discovery and explora-
ton. then of the missionary and en-
migration periods. and lastly the rec
lamation period, paying a fine tribute
to the spirit of law and order that al
ways came in with all classes Of set
tiers. speaking particularly Of the law
abiding spirit shown in the mining
camps in the days when each commun-
ity was a law unto itself.
Professor Brosnan expressed a hope
that the women of the state would see
fit to perpetuate some of the early
landmarks Of our history by suitable
monuments in the near future.
Preceding the address of the after
noon, Mrs. Rankin sang two numbers
in a most pleasing manner She was
accompanied by Mrs. Ethel Moul Elam
Following the program, q social hour
vas enjoyed with Mrs. w. F. Nansen

Washington, Nov. 24.-The state de
rartment expects to hear from the
Mexican government by next Tuesday
with regard to the release Of William
o. Jenkins, American consular agent at
Puebla, imprisoned by Mexicans.
The situation will not become more
tense il a reply is delayed until that
date, 1t was pointed out. because the
Mexican foreign office will probably
investigate the affair before answering
this country's demand for jenkins re-
lease.
Jenkins was still in prison tonight
government officials believed. Secre-
tary Lansing was not seriously con-
cerned, however, as it was believed the
Mexican government would keep Jen-
kins prisoner until it's investigation
was completed.
II his release is refused, flat ulti-
matum may be sent to Mexico demand
ing that he be set free by a specified
time, it was reported tonight.

Yet-No Word on Shipment Of
Next Car Of Supplies,

Mayor Eagleson was unable to say
today when the next carload of gov
eminent foodstuffs and wooden goods

tail army store. He has telegraphed
the deputy zone supply depot at Port
land but has not received reply as
yet.
tits understood that the parcel post
stores are being closed out and tire
stocks disposed of, and that replenish-
ing or the stocks for retail stores in
the various municipalities will follow.
Then Boise customers will have an
ample supply OF meats, vegetables and
wearing apparel to select from-while
they last.
The sale which opened last week at
612 Main street has not yet been com
pleted. Quite a quantity of the lines
remains, but steady procession of
buyers will get the last of the goods
in two or three days more.
Our experience has convinced me-
said l.. j.. Folsom, manager of the Boise
store, that the principle on which the
army retail store is conducted, If ii
could be applied widely enough would
materially reduce the cost OF living in
every home. 1t is a matter of quantity
supply, volume of sales and margin of
profits.
Wooden goods and vegetables go
fastest, Mr.. Folsom says. The bacon
and beef are good sellers, too, especial
ly in the smaller sizes of cans. The
families that will purchase six-pound
cans of beef are fewer, but all sizes
