STORY OF THE KILLING OF FOR
MER NORFOLK YOUTH.
HE WAS h.DING A BICYCLE
People In the Automobile Which
Killed Him , Knew Him Well and the
Chauffeur Knew Him , But Did Not
Recognize Him No Investigation.
The snd story of the killing of Wll-
son Pardonner by an automobile In
New York last Saturday night , la
told by the Brooklyn Eagle fls fol
lows :
The funeral of Wilson Pardonner ,
the 12-year-old boy who was killed by
an automobile Saturday night at the
Fourteenth avenue bridge , over the
Dyker Meadows , took place at 2
oclock | today at the home of his fa
ther , W. S. Pardonner , Cropsey and
Twenty-first avenues , the old Klmp-
ton place , only the members of the
family being present.
The fatal accident had many un
usual features about it. By a coin
cidence very rare In such tragedies
the persons in the automobile were
personally acquainted with the vic
tim , and the chauffeur who was driv
ing the car also knew him well. Mr.
and Mrs. Frank A. Slocum owned and
were using the machine that ran the
boy down. They live at Twenty-sec
end avenue and Eighty-sixth street
and both were deeply affected by the
accident , though owing to road dust
covering the young bicyclist they did
not realize that he was an acquaint
ance , and uncertainty as to his iden
tity prevailed for two hours.
Mr. Pardonner , who is an officer of
the Oxnard Construction company , a
subsidiary corporation of the Beet
Sugar combination , had been playing
golf with Lls son at the Marine and
Field club links , until' nearly C o'clock
Saturday. He had an engagement
which it was important for him to
keep , and so took a trolley car home.
His boy , who had come on a bicycle ,
decided to ride home alone. He took
the brick road , which toe had often
used before , and was spinning along
on a down grade , when he reached the
bridge. It is possible that he was
coasting , but this cannot be known.
At the entrance of the bridge the
brick road meets another road at an
acute angle. On this other road was
the Slocum automobile also rushing
along at at least a fair rate of speed.
The wheel and the auto must have
struck the bridge at almost the same
Instant. The marks on the bridge
show that young Pardonner was
crushed on the right side of that struc
ture. He must have been killed In
stantly.
The first thing done was to take
the unconscious body to the office of
Dr. De Mund nearby. When It was
pronounced dead the police were un
able at first to get any clew to the
boy's identity , though' he had in his
pocket and had carried for months a
memorandum book Inscribed with his
name and address. This failure of the
officers to carefully examine the pock
ets led to the removal of the body to
another precinct , and it was three
hours before the remains reached the
Pardonner home.
Young Pardonner was a grandson of
the late George W. Wilson , commis
sioner of internal revenue at Washington , -
ington , 'for whom the boy had been
named. He was a bright youngster
and well advanced In his studies.
Mr. Pardonner , overcome by his
grief , Is nevertheless not anxious , his
friends say , to make trouble for the
Slocums. He is satisfied that they
were not intentionally reckless In
speeding their machine , and is in
clined to attribute the accident to a
very dangerous junction of roads at
a bridge entrance where both come to
the structure on a heavy down grade.
The clipping was sent to Norfolk by
Mr. Adams of Brooklyn , manager of
the Norfolk sugar factory prior to the
managership of Mr. Pardonner. He
writes that the last paragraph of the
story is not quite true but that no
legal investigation has as yet been
started.
APPLE SCAB AND CEDAR RUST.
Bulletin from Nebraska Experiment
Station Gives Its Treatment.
The Nebraska agricultural experi
ment station has just issuer Bulletin
No. 88 , entitled "Apple Scab and Ce
dar Rust. " The bulletin gives the re
\ sults of experiments which show that
these diseases of the apple can be
controlled readily by spraying. Direc
tions are given for the preparation
and application of the necessary spray
ing mixtures. The bulletin will be
sent free of cost o residents of Ne
braska upon request addressed to the
Agricultural Experiment Station , Lin
coln , Neb. The following is a sum
mary of the bulletin :
Apple scab and cedar rust have been
especially destructive during the past
three years. Although experiments in
other states have shown that apple
scab can be controlled by spraying ,
Nebraska fruit growers have not al
ways been successful in their attempts
to control it. Cedar rust is so inju
rlous to certain kinds of apples that
fruit growers are recommending the
destruction of cedar trees , on which
one stage of the fungus causing the
disease is found.
Some Varieties of the apple are very
susceptible to the scab , as , for In
stance , Wlnesap , Mammoth Black
Twig , Sheriff , Rails Genet , Virginia
Beauty , Red June , and Northern Spy ,
while Hod Astrachau , Windsor , Jona
than , Ingrain , York Imperial , Ben Du
vis , Gano , Northwestern , Missouri Pip
pin , Iowa Blush , and Grimes Golden
are fairly resistant to the disease , and
Oldenburg , Whitney , Wealthy , Salome ,
and Patton Greening arc practically
free from It. Cedar rust Injures se
riously such varieties as Red June ,
Wealthy , Whitney , Iowa Blush , Jona
than , Missouri Pippin and the Prairie
Crab and Its relatives , while it does
not appreciably harm Cooper Early ,
Oldenburg , Early Harvest , Sweet June ,
Yellow Transparent , Red Astrachau ,
Maiden Blush , Ben Davis , Gano , Wine-
sap , Mammoth Black Twig , Rails Ge
net , Northwestern , York Imperial and
Grimes Golden.
Removing cedar trees fiom the vi
cinity of the orchard or destroying the
brown knots , or "cedar apples , " on
their twigs , Is an excellent way to con
trol cedar rust on apples , but in many
cases this method can not be employed
and spraying must be resorted to.
In spraying tests conducted at the
experiment station , the average num
ber of rust spots on 100 leaves of
Wealthy and Jonathan apples was 138
for unsprayed trees as against only
10 for trees sprayed at the proper
times. The time to spray was found
to be when the brown knots on the
cedar trees begin to enlarge , and be
come gelatinous and orange-colored.
The application should bo repeated In
a couple of weeks. The first of these
sprayings , which last year came early
In May , was the more important of the
two. Spraying at other times did no
good.
In the spraying tests against scab
with Wlnesap , Maiden Blush , Sweet
June , Jonathan , and Rails Genet trees ,
the average per cent of scabby fruit
was 70 for unsprayed trees and only
6 for trees sprayed at the proper times.
The right times to spray are just be
fore the apple blossoms open and
again soon after the blossoms fall.
Last season the latter of the two
sprayings , coming between the middle
and last of May , gave the better re
sults. Spraying at other times gave
no results of value.
Bordeaux mixture is the spray used
against both scab and rust. It is
made of quicklime 4 pounds , copper
sulphate 4 pounds , and water 50 gal
lons. It Is Important that the lime be
allowed to cool after being slacked ,
and that both the lime and the copper
sulphate be diluted before the two are
mixed. Bordeaux mixture should be
used while fresh.
The spray Is best applied as a fine
mist and with considerable force. It
is necessary that the work of sprayIng -
Ing be done thoroughly. All parts of
the tree must be hit.

HIGHEST FQRJIFTEEN YEARS
Stanton Property Threatened But It Is
Believed Danger Is Now Over.
Stanton , May 1C. Special to The
News : The Elkhorn river at this
place is out of jts banks and the water
is the highest it has been for fifteen
years last past. The water continued
to rise rapidly until yesterday noon
when it reached its highest stage.
Since then , while not going down , it
has remained stationary.
The Stanton mill and the water pow
er company property was considered
in great danger. The race forms a
cut off across the neck of a bend
south of this town and once the flood
surmounted the head gates a new
channel for the river with probably a
very serious damage to the mill , was
inevitable. All the forenoon a large
number of men were at work building
a levee and also a temporary dam
across the heudgates In the race. So
far , while the water is running across
the neck of land In a flood some three
feet deep , It has been kept out of the
mill race and if the water rises no
further the danger Is past.
PRISONER IS DISCHARGED.
No Evidence Found Against Match
Man as One Who Stole Money.
The traveling man arrested by the
sheriff last Thursday charged by the
proprietor of the Northwestern hotel
at Stuart with stealing a sum of
money was released without a hear
ing , there being no evidence to show
that he had taken the money alleged
to have been stolen. The traveling
man represents the Diamond Match
company. Suspicion rested upon him
by reason of the following circum
stances : The Stuart hotel man claims
to have lost something over $300 , 275
of which was represented by a check.
The check was found in a water tank
at the hotel torn In two and inclosed
in an envelope of the Diamond Match
company. The cash , amounting to
some $42 , Is still missing. It devel-
opes , however , in connection with the
torn check being In an envelope of the
representative of the match company
that he , the match man , had a grip
stolen at Atkinson in which were some
envelopes and the grip was discovered
at the Northwestern hotel at Stuart.
The sheriff advances the theory that
another man , who Is under suspicion ,
stole the match man's grip at Atkin
son , the check and money at Stuart ,
put the check in the envelope to throw
suspicion on the other and made away
with the cash.
The man under suspicion was at
Stuart at the time the affair hap
pened. The sheriff says he hired a
team at Stuart and drove to Newport ,
where ho tied the team to a post ,
jumped onto a train and went west.

OLD MUSIC GRINDER REAPPEARS
FOR SUMMER'S WORK.
NOW NINETY-NINE YEARS OLD
The Oldest Tinner In the United
States , He Came to This Country
When Railroad Trains Were Un
known Lost His Sight During War
"Uncle BIHy Prlnglo , " the oldest
tinner In the United States , after hav
ing added twelve more months to his
already extended age , has come out
of his winter's abode with his grind
organ and appeared on the streets of
Norfolk today with his old time tunes.
Ho will be ninety-nine years of age
on the seventeenth of June. All win
ter he has been at Meadow Grove ,
with his son-in-law , Bob PcnlaRrass.
"Uncle Billy" came to Nebraska
many years ago , and was the first tin
ner in the west. He came to Oakdalo ,
then the county seat of Antelope coun-
ay , thirty-five years ago , and remained
for seven years , lie has lived at
Plalnylew and Creighton , also.
How He Became Blind.
He became blind during the war ,
while working on army provisions.
As he was employed by a private cor
poration and not the government , ho
did not get a pension.
He worked at his trade in Oakdalo
when there was no railroad In north
ern Nebraska.
Today he began his program on
Norfolk avenue by grinding out , "The
Cadet March. "
"Haven't you any new tunes this
year , Uncle Billy ? " was queried.
"Oh , no , " he'said. . "This one was
played by the Omaha band and Its just
as good now as It was when I got It. "
Time Beginning to Tell.
Father Time is beginning to mark
the head of Old Uncle Billy and hl
hair IB as white as snow. His hands
are feeble and his step Is slow , but
he still has enthusiasm plus , and vig
or enough to arouse a man many years
his junior. He may not reappear
many more springs , for when he takes
his music box home each chilly fall ,
he little knows whether he shall ever
again walk out in the spring time with
his music. But he is here this year
and says he will be for many more.
Mr. Pringle has never been ill a day
in his life.
So far as he knows he is no rela
tion to Dr. Pringle , well known In this
section , though the two , he says , have
often tried to trace a relationship.
Ho has been a tinner by trade for
the past seventy-five years.

seat of Charles Mix county , where
they were successful In their applica
tion for a marriage license. The Ber-
vlcos of a clergyman were secured and

and wife. Shortly after the marriage

WOMEN WILL WEAR HOOPS.
Chicago Dressmaker Says Every Wo

Chicago , May 12. "Every woman In
the country will have hoopsklrts on
before fall. "
This was the prediction made at
the meeting of the Chicago Dresemak
ors' club at the Stratford last night ,
after a demonstration by the presl
dent , Mrae. M. J. Van Hotrnc , of the
rejuvenated article of the feminine
wearing apparel. The sentiment , gen
erally concurred In and greeted with
applause , emanated In no spirit of frl
vollty , but on the judgment of a gath
crlng of thinking business women who
went into the matter with all serious
ness.
The now hoopsklrt Is not such a
formidable affair as the cartoonists
have depleted. It is made at present
of featherbone , a kind of springy stuff
similar in action to a strip of cellu
loid. As Mme. Van Hosac made it ,
the skirt is formed by dropping half
a dozen lengths of tape from a belt ,
the tapes reaching to the knee. Strips
of the fcatherbone are bent in circu
lar form about six , twelve and eigh
teen inches below the waist and at
tached to the perpendicular tapes.
