Story of Woman Whose
Mate He Slew.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Jan. 3d.
The central figure in an eternal
triangle which ended in murder is
pleading self-defense, telling a story
which directly contradicted the
story of the woman in the case.
Walter l.. Liggett, prosperous
Nashville grain dealer, who entered
into an Illicit love affair with Mrs
Era Helen Cunningham, on trial
charged with fatally shooting Tur-
ney M. Cunningham, the womans
husband and hotel proprietor
here, testified Tuesday.
The accused mans account of the
tragic love affair began with the
assertion that Mrs. Cunningham,
who had testified she feared him
and had sought to terminate the
liason, erred when she said he
picked her up" in an automobile to
make her acquaintance, that he was
the "aggressor" in their relations,
and that he had threatened Cum
ningham'S life.
Induced to Come Back
He met Mrs. Cunningham
through a mutual friend, casually.
in front of the Cunningham home
ultimate scene of the murder-he
said. Several months after the first
meeting, Liggett said, he told Mrs.
Cunningham, I am going to get
me good girl and get married "
he testified.
"She cried" he said, threw some
kind of fit. and induced me to
come back with her."
Somewhat later there was CON
ference" at the Cunningham home,
he said, at which Cunningham ac-
cused him of running around with
my wife," and told him 81 don't
want you to be seen with her
again."
II said, yes, sir, have been see
ing her." Liggett continued. But
Mrs. Cunningham remarked, AS
lady, I demand that he speak to
me any time he sees me-
He said, Well, all right And
added to me:
Walter, I don't blame you for
all this. 1t is noe her first offense.
You may co."
After that, the accused man said,
Mrs. Cunningham wrote him a let
ter, and we slipped back into the
same old relations"
t7;,.d - caIf RofauSo
On the night of the murder, Oct.
20, Liggett said, he had gone to the
Cunningham home to see Mrs.
Cunningham, who told him "We are
being watched"
las I reached the alley back of
the house I saw two men running
toward me-" he testified. "One was
shouting that he was going to kill
That -.
Suddenly I saw one of the men
tart shooting at me.
IT grabbed my pistol and started
shooting at the flame directed at
me-"
Liggett emphasized that at least
Two shots were fired at him before
he drew his own weapon-which
he insisted was done in Self-de-
tense.
The two men proved to be Cum

Beef Contest Reveals
Liberal Feeding PAYS

A<1OCA0k = OC0AAA6 0yc
Liberal feeding of his calves
from the time they were placed on
feed until they were marketed was
the principal factor in the success
of James Ellsworth of Magnolia,
Rock County, who has just been
announced winner of the fourth
annual Minnesota carload baby
beef contest. This is the third time
in four years that Mr.. Ellsworth
has taken first place.
w. e. Morris, livestock specialist
of the Minnesota Agricultural Ex-
tension service, who was in charge
of the contest and who has made a
careful study Of the records of all
contestants, points out that the
men who secured maximum weight
were those who fed literally, gett-
ing their calves on full feed as ear
ly as possible; that calves which
inherited size from their parents
were most profitable; that the con-
test again demonstrated that steers
make larger daily gains than heif-
ers, although they do not finish
quite so early, and that Mr.. Ellis
worth's success proves that hand
raised calves can be fattened as
rapidly as those which nurse their
+, dams.
AS the result of his victory, Mr.
Ellsworth will receive 500 in cash
and gold medal given by the
Minnesota Livestock Breeders as
sociation, which sponsors the con-
test each year, offering $500 in

TESTING SKIMMILK
PROVES PROFITABLE

Testing the .skimmilk from the
farm cream separator regularly is
one sure way to make more money
from milking cows, says the Blue
Valley Creamery Institute. Many
dairymen make it a regular pract-
ice to test their skimmilk for but
terfat at least once a month. This
they do to check up on the effici-
ency of their separator and the
manner in which it is being oper-
ated. Unless this testing is done
a large amount of valuable butter
fat is likely to go into skimmilk
can instead of through the cream
spout.
The test of well-separated skim
milk is around two one-hundreths
of one percent butterfat. A mach
inc which separates with loss of
only this proportion of butterfat is
regarded as being in good working
condition and properly operated.
However, if the test goes higher
than .02 of one percent avoidable
losses occur.
A good example of the losses
which may result from an improp-
erly regulated or operated separa-
tor is recorded in the recent ac-
tivities Of an Iowa cow testing as
sociation. One member, whose
skimmilk has been testing .02 of
one percent right along, founr that
test jumped to OF of one percent
for one month, or .05 of one per-
cent more than the usual skimmilk
test. Since 1900 pounds of milk
was separated during the month,
the loss of butterfat was OF percent
butterfat for one year, the total av-
oidable loss of butterfat in the
skimmilk would have been 1873

WASHINGTON. July 2o.-Man-
churia. especially the northern part
through which runs the disputed
Chinese Eastern railway, is the
golden land Of opportunity for Asia.
This area. once the hunting ground
of the Manchu princes, IS now the
promised land for thousands Of i'm
migrants. They are hunting not
merely the wild game which still
aoounds. but the fertile land for
farms and homes.
Last year about 100000 people
focked from the War-torn and fam
ished parts Of China to the part Of
Manchuria served by the Chinese
Eastern railway. It is estimated,
however. about two-thirds Of this
territory still remains uncultivated-
About forty-fve million acres Of
rich arabic land in North Man
churia are yet untouched by the
plow.
Like the early settlers Of our west,
the pioneer in ManChuria must face
the perils Of banditry from tribes
not unlike the Indians in their
habits. But like our own colOnists,
he has the advantage OF virgin land
and a healthful, temperate climate.
Dairen is the principal port of
Manchuria and is located in the
southernmost tip Of the country
This city is in about the same lati-
tude as Washington, D. c. The
northern extreme Of the country is
IN the latitude Of Hudson Bay. The
greatest distance east and west
across the country is about the same
as the distance from New York to
Chicago.
Altogether the area of Manchuria
is equal to that Of the New England
states. the Middle Atlantic states and
also. Ohio. Indiana, Michigan, Della
ware, Maryland and West Virginia.
The population. however. is only
half that of this section of the
United States. The total length of
the railway serving this land to
which hOrdes are flocking is only
$500 miles. In the equivalent area
in the United States there are sixty
thousand miles.
