MAN FOUND DEAD IN
BED AT SWEETWATER

Especial Correspondence to The Journal
Springer, n. NJ, April 3,-Yes-
terday man named Little was
found dead in his bed at the ranch
of Abe Hixenbaugh, sheriff of Col
fax county, at Sweetwater, sixteen
miles from here.
No details of the case are yet OBJ
tainable. 1t is reported that Sheriff
HiXenbaugh had sent out some
things to his ranch and phoned a
merchant at Coemore to send word
by phone from this place to Mr..
Little, who was caring for the
ranch, to come and get them. The
merchant, it is said complied with
the request, but receiving no an
swer, so informed the Sheriff by
telephone. Sheriff HiXenburg then
became suspicious that something
was wrong and went out to the
ranch at once.
There he found Mr.. Little, it is
said, dead in his bed. Mr.. Roy
Clothier went out from Springer
late yesterday to the ranch and
brought the body into Springer MT.
Clothier states that the deceased
seemed to show no visible signs of
any fould play, that his money to
the amount of $50 was found in his
pocket and that everything tended
to show that the man died of nat
ural causes. The deceased was
about 10 years old. He has a son
at Mesa, Il place east of Ration.
The son will be in Springer today
to ascertain the facts of his faith
er's death. The body of Mr. Little
was inferred in the local cemetery

Welsh mining districts. 1t is no
uncommon sight to see a group of
men and youths at street corner
watching for the number of the

Fight Insects Now With Pillow.

Fall blowing is the most universal
ly effective way OF controlling the in
sect pests that annually cause great
losses to the grain farmer. 1t is much
easier and cheaper, says the bureau
of entomology. to prevent an insect
outbreak in this manner than it is to
stamp out the infestation once it is
fully developed. The Hessian fly, so
destructive to wheat, Is one of the
insects that can hardly be eradicated
once it is established In the crop.
Fall blowing is recommended because
it breaks up the soil and destroys
the srubs and pupae of many insects
by exposing them to the sun and air.
The bureau advises the grain farm
er to pillow in the fall, if possible; to
keep a supply of insecticides and
spraying outfit on hand; to watch
the crops Carefully for an outbreak.
and to report all outbreaks to the
county farm adviser.

Annual Endurance
Test For Cavalry
Horses Oct. Ills

The annual endurance test for
horses under cavalry conditions,
which will be run from Fort Ethan
Allen at Brattleboro. VI, to Camp
Devens, Mass, the week of Oct IL
to Is, is to have it's counterpart in
England this fall. So successful was
the first American test last year that
the members OF the Arab Horse So
csety Of England decided to hold
similar contest beginning Oct. 10.
The American rules will be fol-
lowed closely and comparison Of
the results obtained in England and
America will be made by the horse
men in both countries interested iii
the development of saddle horses Of
stamina and hardness and having
the necessary quality to render them
suitable for use In the mounted SER
vice.
In the English test the horses will
be riden sixty miles day for five
days. They will carry 30 pounds, in
GLIDING saddle and briddle. In the
American contest, on the contrary.
the minimum weight To be carried
will be e4a pounds-the rider to
weigh not less than l45 pounds. with
100 pounds OF dead weight equipment
ir addition. SO the American test will
be much more difficult.
Both competitions are for silver
trophies-~the American for the Unit
ed States Mounted Service cup and
the English for the Challenge cup.
In the last years American eomDe-
tition the trophy, which Is to be held
for ore year was captured by w. r.
Brown, of Berlin, n. H.. whose Arabs
carried off the bulk OF the prize
money. The English contest this year
is limited solely to Arabian horses,
while the American is open to all.

there were more Arabs than any 9th

more, hackneys, trotters. Morgans,
