AN AMERICAN KILLED
BY MEXICAN RSBELS
MM,
Associated Press Dispatch]
El Paso. Sept. £’.—Joshua Stev-
ens, an American was killed by a
rebel while Stevens was fighting to
protect his two daughters at Colona
Pacheche, according to word receiv-
ed by the business agent at the
Mormon colonies. , Sltevens killed
the Mexican who ^ slew him. The
Mexican drew a sword bayonet and
thrust it through Stevens’ body.
Stevens then fired, killing one reb-
el, then fell dead. The others fled.
The breeding places for the fly
that is causing such trouble and ter-
ror in North Texas at this time, are
in barn yard manure and straw'
staqks; so it was agreed Saturday
afternoon by E. A. Miller of Austin
and F. C. Bishop of Dallas, who wero
sent here especially to ,investigate
the situation, in the meeting of the
farmers .'institute at (the court
house. The fly that is giving the
trouble is known as the "stable'1
fly and is the same that has always
been here, however, they are more
plentiful and torture more this year
ttian in many seasons. All flies are
adapted to breeding in straw plies
and manure, and the maggots from
which the stable fly develops are
essentially the same in appparance
as any other. Wo it is advised that
the straw stacks be looked after,
and that the storage of barn yard
manure oe scattered so that the
sun can dry it out and thus de-
stroy all the fly maggots and prevent
further breeding. There is consid-
erable opposite!! to destroying the
hay stacks; but Messrs. Bishop nnd
Miller stated that in many oases the
straw is already rotten and in oth-
ers it is wet so that It will he no
longer useful and that In such cases
there should be no delay in getting
rjd of it. Where part of the straw
is good, it should be baled and the
remainder burned.
There is no preparation to be np
plied to the straw piles or the man-
ure beds that will destroy the fly:
the only way is as above advocated.
The life of the stable fly has not
been ascertained accurately but is
perhaps about two or three weeks.
There is widespread opposition
among farmers and; laymen to the
announcement that the stable flf
has been here always, but it is un-
questionably the same. It is some-
what akin to the horn fly, am! some-
thing like the house fly, hilt it 'lif-
ters in the n n-uer of feeding. The
stable fly feels with the head up-
ward, the him flv with ths head
down and :he iioure fly either way.
Also the stable f',y has a beak, '.hut
the others do not. In ISC/ in thiB
territory this rame fly gave. great
trouble, in 1995 it Was bid after
stock and sP: yea.i ago caused trou-
ble; but no time an had as th > pres-
ent. By searching the weather
records it is found that preceding
each of these attacks from the en-
emy to live stock lias heen a pqriod
of two weeks or so of rain.
In speaking of the habits or prac-
tices of the immediate pest the ex-
perts said that it is inclined to he
favoratde to shady places. This
has caused some to think that it.
breeds in weeds. But in fact it
travels from place to place on
teams. When it fills with blood
from the animal, it retreats to the
weeds along the road to digest it,
then it Is soon ready to attack the
next team that comes along. Each
fly extracts something like a drop or
two of idood from the animal eaqh
time it .attacks it, so it is easily no-
ticeable that a few davs of constant
torture by a drove of flies greatly
weakens the animal and „ finally
causes deatli.
It is not a poisonous fly but the
stock dies from torture rather than
the effects of the sting.
Slock owners were urged against
using oil too heavy in the mixtures
used against the pests. Do not be-
come desperate and use something
that will injure the horse, and cause
the flesh to become raw so that
screw worms may attack the animal.
It is chiefly the odor of the medi-
cine that prevents the attack. Fish
oil is very beneficial as a part of the
compound to be used.
It is observed that there are a
number of natural enemies working
against the pests. There Is a yel-
low wasp and a second similar fly
-(hat captures the pest. They have
.been discovered in the very act of
killing them.
The question as to whether or not
the fly would cause milk from the
cows to be poisonous, was answered
that it would not. The trouble Is
the animal Is worried so that she
will not produce nijlk.
There was a good attendance at
the meeting; they were people in-
terested who own stock. Tom L.
Tennison, special agricultural agent
lor this county, presided.
Two remedies were mentioned as
having proved good ones: One gal-
ion cooking oil, 2(1 cents worth of
pine tar, 20 cents worth of penny-
royal, and 5 cents worth of sulphur.
The 'other: Two-pounds lye soup,
1 pound rosin, 1-4 pound axle
grease, 1 pint fish oil dissolved In 2
gallons «f water. Tills Is said to be
effective for three days.
T/etter to Mr. Tennison.
This morning T. L. Tennison,
agent of the IT. S. agricultural de-
partment, received the following
letter, which proves that his tele-
gram was instrumental In starting
the government’s investigation here:

GOV. WILSON TALKS OF
THIRD PARTY PLATFORM
Associated Press Dispatch 1
Buffalo. Sept. 2.—Woodrow Wil-
son, speaking at a Labor Day ce.le-
bratoii here, analyzed the third par-
ti platform in relation to the labor-
ing man. He assailed the minimum
wage idea, declaring employers
would endeavor to bring wages as
nearly as possible to tha minimum
permuted by law. The governor
'took emphatic issue with the pro-
oosed federal commission to regu-
late monopolies, declaring the plan
would legalize monoply and give the
chief employers tremendous author-
ity. He said the plan of federal
control advocated by the new party
"systematically subordinates the
•working men to monopolies, that
what the employers do will have the
'ionise of the federa.1 government,
Including paying wages approved by
the government.’’
