SHOOTING AFFAIR FOLLOWED
Observation-Disclosures
SELF-DEFENSE. g.,

A shooting affair, which came near
being fatal, occurred in the vicinity of
the Cummings bridge across the Mime
sofa river, last Tuesday evening at about
6 o'clock. As it was, the victim re-
eeived flesh wound in the left arm,
about four inches above the elbow.
The injury is not of serious nature,
however.
Recluse Fires Shot.
Alfred Lee, So years Of age, recluse
who has been living, or rather existing,
in a rough cabin, located about 800
feet from the Cummings bridge, near
the boundary line between the towns Of
Home and Eden, fired the almost-fatal
shot which wounded Howard Williams,
about 20 years old, also resident of that
vicinity, in the arm. Williams home
is situated in Eden township. about two
miles west of Lees abode.
Had Lunch With Lee.
Williams and his employer, Dennis
OShea, were hauling logs to the Merkel
Bros sawmill and enroute there stopped
at Lees shanty and inquired whether
they could get warm cup of coffee on
their return. Their request was granted,
and after the trip to the sawmill the two
men were accompanied back to the
cabin by Paul Merkel, one Of the saw
mill proprietors.
Shooting Follows Alteration.
While the four men were conversing
together, Lee accused Williams of
shooting holes through the formers
stovepipe, which he used as an i'm
provised chimney. This Williams de-

EARLY, ADVISES M. A. c.

East Lansing, July 20.-Fall
wheat will do best on land plowed
and prepared at an early date, in
order that the seed bed may be-
come firm and we'll compacted. A
large percentage of the wheat crop
follows oats and barley, according to
Prof. ]. F. Cox of the Michigan Agrl-
cultural College, and after the re-
moval of these crops this land should
be plowed Immediately to medium
depth.
"Many farmers are unable to take
time or to find help at this season OF
the year to do the plowing," says
Professor Cox. "In this case 1t is
suggested that the stubble be thor
oughly disced as soon as the oats OF
barley is removed. Then when
plowed later the ground will be in a
more mellow condition. A good seed
bed-frm and well compacted-re'
ouires six weeks or two months after
oats or barley. 1t can be compactec
only by allowing time for settling ano
using the roller"
