Man Shot, Two
Held By Mill
City Police
WOMAN TAKES BLAME THEN
CHANGES STORY

One man is near death following
shooting at a north Minneapolis
home Monday, and a man and a
woman are being held in the city
Jail.
The wounded man is William or
John Wright, home address un-
known, who was shot at GIG Jewett
Place, following an alteration
with Mrs. Ida Gilbert, &c, of that
address.
Conflicting Reports
When questioned by the police
shortly after the shooting Mrs.
Gilbert, who is also known by her
maiden name Jones, told detec-
tives that she shot him right after
he made indecent proposals to her.
In her first statement she said that
she shot him and would shoot him
again. Arrested with her was
Henry Williams, a roomer at the
same address, who was held for
questioning.
Stories Conflict
The story told by Williams and
the story told by Mrs. Gilbert did
not compare so police continued to
hold them for two days after their
arrest. Finally Williams admitted
shooting Wright in defense of the
woman. According to Williams he
shot Wright in the house as he
ran out into the street. Mrs. Gil
bert fired another shot in his direc-
ton, but Williams does not think
that this shot took effect. Wright
was found to have only one bullet
wound.

second statement in connection
with the shooting, Mrs. Gilbert was
confronted with the statement and
she admitted that Williams came
to her defense and that her first
story was not true, that she had
simply sought to take the blame
in the case.
Wounded Mans Condition Serious
William Wright, the wounded
man, who is also known as John
Wright, whose home is in Dallas,
Texas, remains in a serious condi-
ton in the City hospital. Thursday
several blood tranfusions were
necessary to keep him alive.

ANNOUNCER URGES FAIR

1t is now 9:10 and the announcer
informs the estimated crowd of
$4,000 that the next bout would
be the main event; he made a
special appeal to the crowd to con-
form to the tradition of good
craftsmanship and to accord the
better man the proper considera-
ton; he, on the behalf of the pro-
motors, asked that vast throng not
to permit their passions to run
rampant on account of race, creed
or color. His appeal met with
vociferous applause.

Throughout that day the
atmosphere was fille d with
stealthy preparations, as If all
the border were girding for ap-
preaching combat. At noon a
messenger from the governor ar
rived by plane and was hurried
out to the dam where for two
hours he and Sari remained
cloSeted. Meanwhile, wires from
Sari'S headquarters aShed

to WaShington-long code mes
Sages that came and went. Only
once that day did Sari himself
appear in Verde, and then brief

morning there had been clashes
between the ranchers and Sari's
faction and only through Dicks
cool counsel were number of
the cattlemen prevented from
riding to Azure Lake to deal out
summary justice in Sari's camp.
New Tension
Long before evening men be-
gan crowding into Verde over
the sodden, rain soaked roads
and in the mind of each rose
ever the anxious question, How
will it end?" The shattered win
dowS of the newspaper office,
the tale Of Nora'S abduction,
were testimony enough of what
they might expect from the fol-
lowers Of Sari, and by night
fall the news that a rancher
had been found murdered near
the dam brought new tension to
the anxious town. Steadily the
realization grew that this meet
ing would be the crisis of a long,
bitter fight, and might have to
be decided by force of arms.
And twice that day, perhaps
for this very reason, trains from
the Coast carried little groups of
furtive, uncommunicative men
into Verde who were driven i'm
mediately out to the dam.
Neither Dick nor Barnes
needed anyone to tell them that
these men, too, would be at the
meeting to support Sari in any
emergency.

trast with Dicks wet, travel

October Is Time To
Plant Flower Bulbs

Lespedeza has scored one of its
greatest successes as a soil builder
on the farm of Charles A. Mccall
in Mcdowell County.
A one-year crop of l~espedeza,
plowed under last fall, gave the
biggest increase in corn yield this
year hat has ever been witnessed
by E. C. Blair, extension agrono-
mist at State College.
In 1884, Mccall sowed lespedeza
on his wheat field and allowed it
to grow through the summer. Both
weeds and lespedeza were plowed
under in the fall.
This year he planted corn on the
field, with the rows running from
the lespedeza area into a section
where only weeds had grown. No
fertilizer or manur was applied,
but the corn was cultivated we'll.
On the two areas there was SO
much difference in the corn that
]. Gordon Blake, county agent,
measured the yields. On the area
where no lespedeza had grown, the
yield was 24.S bushels to the acre.
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1935-10-11

Where lespedeza had been plowed
under the yield was 59.4 bushels.
Since both acres were cultivated
alike, Blair stated that the increas-
ed yield of 34.6 bushels per acre
may be attributed directly to the
lespedeza.
III McCall's farm is in a valley at
the foot of the Blue Ridge noun
tains, in a region that until a few
years ago had been considered too
cold for lespedeza.
He had used lespedeza regularly
in a three-year rotation of corn,
soybeans, wheat, and lespedeza.
Others in even higher attitudes also
have gotten good results, Blair
stated.

A good way to plant bulbs, when
they are to be set in clumps or in
beds, is to remove the upper four
inches of soil, set the bulbs the de-
sired distance apart, and then cover
them with the soil that was re-
moved.
When planting a large area, the
soil may first be removed from a
space about 3 by 5 feet in size, the
bulbs placed in position, then COW
cred from soil removed from an 3D.
joining area.
This opens up the adjoining area,
where bulbs may be set and covered
with soil from an area just beyond.
This process may be followed until
the entire lot is planted.
In all cases, Randall stressed,
apply the fertilizer and carefully
repare the soil before setting out
the bulbs.

L~espedeza Again
Proves Its Worth

Flower bulbs which are to BIOS
som in the spring, such as tulips
hyacinths, narcissi, and grape
hyacinths, may be planted in Octo-
Der, or as late as mid-November in
eastern North Carolina.
The ideal soil does not pack, is
crumbly and moist, yet well drain
ed, said Glenn O. Randall, pro-
fessor of Horticulture at N. c. State
College.
When preparing to plant bulbs,
plow the soil to a depth of 10 in
ches, then pulverize it thoroughly,
he recommended.
Stable manure, thoroughly de-
cayed, is a good fertilizer. If de-
cayed manure is unavailable, bone
meal may be- used, or a complete
fertilizer containing 4 to 5 per cent
nitrogen, 8 to 10 percent phos-
phorus. and 4 to E per cent potash.

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 10. (UP)
Business as much as sentlment
impels Mae West to "give the old
timers a break" in her pictures.
Every film she had made from
"She Done Him Wrong" to the
present "Klondike Lou" has its
quota of veterans in the cast.
"Why not?" says Mae. Most
people think Pm doing the old
timers a favor. That's true, and
I'm glad. But it is more than just
| sentiment as far as I'm concern
ed. I like to have the old timers,
because know they'll turn in
a good Job.
"A picture is Just as strong. as
it's characters. A well done job
all around enhances the worth OF
a picture. If a bit is done we'll
here, and another there, it makes
the whole thing that much better.
"That's why l like to use people

ar Sometimes it is a comeback
chance for them. That pleases
me. naturally, but it's the Job

Ever since she has made her
own starring films, Miss West
has given comeback" opportun-
tiles to former favorites. She is
inclined to shrug off these ges-
lures, but the players themselves
feel differently.
Several ex-starS now being
piyen a chance are insisting that
the whole thing is due to the
blonde actress. Not all of them

presence in her pictures called
them to the attention of other
