MAN KILLED

when stepping out
near here, while on a
tion.
The party, including James Reagan,
and three others left Oklahoma City
at an early hour. Some way In get-
ting out of hia own auto an automatic
revolver that he carried was dis-
charged. The bullet entered Kerr’s
body and severed the femoral artery
and though he was rushed af once to
Or. Joyce’s office he bled to death
before any assistance could be given
him. Reagan, one of the other mem-
bers of the party, waa also injured by
the same bullet that passed entirely
through Kerr’s thigh. He was taken
to St. Anthony’s hospital where he to
resting easy. It is not known how
tne revolver became discharged, un-
less in stepping out of the car, the
trigger caught on the side of the door,
as he attempted to step out of the
car.
The body of Kerr is at Street and
Draper’s undertaking rooms in Okla-
homa City, awaiting arrangements for
the funeral which will be made when
a brother who lives in Fort Worth,
Texas, arrives.
The widow of the deceased has
been critically ill for some time at the
Kerr home, 731 East Seventh St., Ok-
lahoma City and has not been told
of the death of her husband. Phys-
cians fear she might die if the truth !
were told her.
The pistol which caused Kerr’s i
death is the same one with which he I
killed George Burton, a gambler, on ;

authority gives five things to be ac-
complished In cow stall construction.
(1). It should keep the cow clean. (2).
It should make the cow comfortable.
(3). It should be convenient for feed-
ing, milking and cleaning. (4). It
Bhould be Inexpensive. (5). It should
bold the cow securely.
Since the earliest days of dairying
some method of fastening cows has
been resorted to. If not tied with a

the horns, a rope or chain was placed
about the neck and fastened to a post,
tree or other stationary object to pre-
vent the cow moving about while be-
ing milked.
A familiar tie still in use in a great
many barns is the chain tie herewith
when choosing a method of fastening.
It la undesirable to place cowa In
rigid stanchions, since they do not
have the freedom of their heads ob-
tainable in a stall. Compelling a cow
to lie In a cramped position to not
conducive to a gentle disposition. 8uch
a disposition to found In those indi-
viduals producing the largest returns
for food consumed. A stall which
most nearly approaches perfection to
one in which the cow is permitted to
have the freedom she has when lying
In the field or paddock. Just how
these devices of torture—the rigid
stanchion shown herewith—originated
is not generally known, but after years
of service they have been discarded.
These stanchions hold the neck of the
animal in a vlse-llke grip when closed;
especially Is this true when the stan-
chion to too narrow. Such a stanchion
not only irritates the neck of the cow
but also prevents the free movement
of the head from side to side, so that
a cow is prevented from throwing her
head around In a resting position upon
her fore leg when stretched out upon
the ground, which is a common habit
with this animal. Freedom of move-
ment is very important to the cow and
every effort should be made to dis-
courage the use of the rigid stanchion.
In order for milk to be sanitary the
surroundings of the cows must be
cleanly in every particular, the floors
especially. The floors now commonly
found are dirt, wood, either block or
plank, brick, stone, and In some cases
concrete.
