John Hill, colored, about 28 years-old, is lying at the point of death today at St. John's hospital from a gunshot wound fired by Joe Sansiedro, 4inown as "Mexican Joe," about 10 o'clock last night, following a quarrel over a crap game. Another colored man known as "Smithy" is missing and is thought to have been wounded.

Hill, Mexican Joe, Smitty and oth ers were gathered at "Stutterin" Street's place in the north end and were engaged in a crap game. Joe won all the money and Smitty decided he wanted his back so he held up Mexican Joe with a gun and made him give back the money. Smitty and Hill then left the place and started to run and Joe went to the door and fired after them. Hill fell wounded and in the excitement Joe and Smitty disappeared and have not since been seen. Hill 'was picked up by Street and taken in a cab to his father, John Hill's home after which the Hill family notified the police.

However, Joe and Smitty had a good start by this time and have not yet been located. Hill was later taken to John's hospital for treatment. Neighbors in vicinity of the shooting affair say that several shots were fired in the encounter which would indicate Smitty and Joe were exchanging shots. Hill had no particular quarrel with the Mexican and is quite plain Joe's shots were intended for Smitty. Joe Sansiedro runs a rooming house at the corner of North and Santa Fe, and is noted among the colored population as the slickest gambler in town.

He has the reputation for picking every one of them hat takes a chance at a game with him. At 2.30 o'clock this afternoon Hill was still living hut his condition was reported as extremely critical. NOW IT'S THE WASHERWOMEN. Hoisington Laundresses Will Demand Higher Wages. Hoisington, Sept.

Spectators lined the race fence two thirds of the way around the half-mile track.

1 VEGETABLES ARE TO BE LUXURIES. Chicago, 29. The humble Inked oeaa lv.ty focn be a dewaey set red on the table of the munition millionaire. Sietk smothered in may le nothing but a fragrvut mer.iory Dill i viiir.i. o-ce purchaseable it the delicatessen store for a penny each, come in the sanm class as the diamond back terrapin, champagne and lobster.

Head lettuce nay take a place side by side with hothouse grapes from London. This is the picture which confronts the distressed householder now struggling under the burder of domestic expenses through the failure of tbe season's vegetable crop. is also one of the big problems to be 'hashed out by the Vegetable Growers' Association of America at its annual convention which opened in tlii -3 city. Prices of vegetables Sn general have advanced from 200 to per cent, and will go even higher in the future. The most inexplicable phase of the situation, according the members of the association, is that the grower is not profiting by tho soaiing market.

More gardeners and green house men have gone into haniviuptcy during the last year than ever before, say the association annual reports. One of the reasons for advancing prices is the scarcity of labor, but the major reason is the general crop failure due to the dry season. The pickle crop has suffered from blight onions have been ruined by maggots and smut, while the bean crop is almost a tctal failure, as is the potato crop in many sections. The convention of the vegetable erowers will continue its sessions for several days. Soil fertility, marketing and kindred topics will receive attention, but the big problem of existence is the chif matter to be considered by the growers.

They declare that while prices are high, they have nothing to sell, and unless something is done shortly to improve the general condition of the industry hundreds will face financial destruction.

MYSTERIOUS MO IS SEEN The Robbers Got Away With $3q) Cash and $50 Stamps No Clue Officers Said Today.

Longford, Sept. 29. When Postmaster Stotts went to his office this morning, it was to find the big postoffice safe blown to pieces. Robbers had been at work during the night with nitro glycerine. Investigation showed that the Yeggs secured about in cash and about $50 in stamps.

No one in the town remembered of any explosions during the night. Two strangers, who hovered about the town yesterday in a second Buick car, are suspected. The similarity of the robberies, the fact that strangers in automobiles were seen in both cases and the nearness of the towns to each other, cause the believe that the men who blew the postoffice safe here pulled off the robbery at Bennington Tuesday night. There are no other clews beyond the suspicion of the men in the motor car. Longford is a small town in Clay county, east of Minneapolis.
