About 11:25 Brown, In company with ex-Constable V. G. Ellis, started lor the depot and as the streets were very muddy, they used the railroad track. Before reaching the station, two men followed them and on coming closer, one of the men passed them and the other stayed behind. The man In front wheeled around and drawing a gun, demanded Brown's money. Tho two men showed fight when the man In the rear caught Brown around the waist, enclosing his arms. Tho man in front then shot Brown, the ball entering under the ribs on the left side and lodging In the backbone. He was taken to a ho tel and died In two hours and 1(1 min utes. A posso was at once started out to hunt the murderers and Sheriff Steers has three men under arrest as sus pects. A jury was impaneled Sunday afternoon and a verdict found that Brown came to his death at tho hands of some unknown parties.

Some Practical Suggestions With Re gard to Raising a Paying Sort of Animal How Fat Can Best Be Made Points In Favor of Here fords. Tho following excellent addrestf wns delivered nt the Farmers' Insti tute nt I-a Orando by K, N. Hutchi son, of tho department of nnlmal hus bandry: At the stock ynrds and abattoirs v. hero livestock Is dellveied from all parts ot the country, an opportunity lias boon Afforded for mo to gather many Iden.i concerning tho develop ment of animal husbandry and for thn collection of facts and llgurod ro tating to Individual methods and ex periments which may bo mode ot pe culiarly practical valuo to tho pro ducers of food anlnmls In the Pacific Northwest, Comparison of tho present condition of nnlmal husbandry with tho past, makes apparent very many wnys In which tho developments of time havo tills branch ot agriculture. New breeds which hava been introduced nnd now feeds with changed methods of feed ing havo brought grcnter possibilities and produced new market typos ot nnlmnls which havo themselves creat ed a special deslro among consumers. Market Early. To answer this demand thus rais ed, effort must now bo made to finish thoroughly and market early, Thcso two points aro mutually essential to success In this new direction to which tho feeders' attention must bo turn ed. Early marketing, without, thor ough finish docs not furnish tho butcher animal, but simply udds to tho class of lower-priced animals which nre taken by others, who com plete tho work ot feeding beforn they again offer them to that Judge of pub lic tasto and palate, tho slaughterer. Dally experiences In the stock yards throughout thu country show that tho present highest success In animal husbandry, as measured by greatest actual profits Is attained by those men who profit by tho knowl edge that tho boat way to realize upon their livestock Is to market only tho finished product. Our market reports from tho great livestock centers of thu United Stntoa make apparent the fact that the great volume of this finished product Is coming from thoso states whero agri culture as a whole, has received tho most attentlvo study and made an ad vance beyond moro grain raising anu stock grazing. From theBii publica tions wo aro nblo to gather also cer tain knowledge of great Importance to tho Pacific Northwest which Is tho proportions to which tho meat pack ing Industry has grown, and that at overy placo which has become a cen ter for tho receipt and distribution ot livestock, largo packing honsea havo sprung up .carrying with tho business of meat packing a long train ot nlllod Industries, which not only themselves add to tho commercial importance ot tho city and state, but Incrrnso an hundred fold tho agricultural valuo and importance of all tributary coun try by tho stimulus and support they afford to animal husbandry. Butcher's Waste, Another fact in connection with tho meat packing industry, which pos sesses much significance for general agrlculturo, not only as an explana tion of why tho packer rnn pay moro than a butcher, but as Illustrative of a commercial principle which Is ap plicable to tho agrlcutural Industry, e tho manner In which the pucker gets profit out of tho butchers' waste. It packing houses did not save their offall, tho profits of tholr operations would bo small, but It Is well known that tho valuable meat part ot tho animal may bo Bold at cost and yet a largo aggregate profit mndo from tho offal. This diversity of product created which Is such a strong factor in tho success ot tho packing Industry, it applied to agriculture, contributes Just as largely to tho success of tho farmer as to the success of the meat packor, Tho abattoir proprietor who now simply slaughters and provides himself with no means for tho utiliz ation of tho Inedlblo portions of tho animal and their manufacture Into such products as fertilize, bono meal, horn goods, glues, casings, soaps and chemicals, stands in just tho same relation to tho packing In dustry as does tho farmer to tho agri cultural industry, who simply sells Ills wheat and provldos himself with no cattlo, sheops, hogs or chickens to iiBo his offal which may bo repre sented by straw, stubble and scatter ed or shrivelled grain, A farm should no moro be considered a placo for tno nrciimulntlnn nf nnnlnan and unnroif ' oblo odds and ends than any otWM dustrial establishment., a groat unuaeu waste , profit and no aduatnTM IWHHI i ' ! -I Tn-.-ywwf.
