April 1, 1915.
On March 26th in the upper edge of Johnson County, a farmer named Sheppard heard someone in his smoke house. He ran out of his home with a shotgun and fired killing instantly a negro who was on a pry pole holding up the corner of the smoke house. He was doing this while a white man had crawled in to get the meat. When the fatal shot was fired the white man had started out, and was under the edge of the house. As the negro was shot and killed, the house fell on the white man, killing him instantly.

From the point of production March 4th, was a banner day for the Ford Motor Company. The high-water mark of several months was reached with a grand total of 1847 Fords, produced by the factory and the Ford manufacturing plants. This is getting pretty close to a production of 2000 Ford cars, every day, and makes still more certain the 300,000 car limit between August 1914 and August 1915, upon which is contingent the profit-sharing with Ford purchasers.
