SUMMARY.

KANSAS CITY special: A Star dis
patch from Little Rock, Ark, gives
the following interview with William
T. Taylor, one OF the brothers in Gus
tOdy there for the murder Of the Meeks
family at Browning, Nc. I'VE are en-
tirely guiltless OF the crime, and had
intended leaving on a skiff for Bates
vile and returning home for trial.
We hope to get bail, and can give any
su~m-s5O,OOO il necessary. The MUIR
der Of the Meeks family occurred on
the night Of May 10 last, and we
learned the next day that we were
suspected OF it, and that a mob was
after us and would lynch US il they
caught us. We Immediately sought
safety in flight, expecting to return
when the excitement died down. We
came to Springfield, NO., where we
spent ten days, and have been In the
vicinity of Buffalo City for about -
month";
LITTLE Rock special: Great disor-
der marked the proceedings OF the
Democratic convention. The big
fight was over the platform and q res
olution endorsing Cleveland. An at
tempt was made to amend the financial
plank IN the platform by striking Out
the words ''At a ratio OF IL to L." and
it was defeated by a vote of $50 to %.
The debate was very bitter, delegates
INDUCING in sharpest determinations.
The Cleveland resolution was with
drawn after the convention had shown
a determination to defeat it. The
platform reiterates the declarations of
the Chicago national platform, and de-
clares for free silver at a ratio Of 16 to
|, an income tax and against the pur-
chase Of more bonds by the Govern
ment.

ton to quash, in the application Of the

will be heard later. This decision
will renew the excitement and trouble
at Enid and Round Pond, and q large

ties, where the rainfall has been am
pie most of the season, the prospects

The rains have been very beneficial in
terminating corn, miIlet and faXseed,
sown at the beginning of the drouth.
Crops have been damaged by hail in
localities in Beadle, Custer. Edmunds,

For the purpose of comparison in

out how the appropriations by the Leg
i~slature of South Dakota compare with
other northwestern states. Deputy
State Auditor Swartz has complied an

kotai. Montana, Idaho, Washington
and Wyoming to run the several
states for two years. AS a result the
figures show that the cost for two
years in that state amounts to Sal
per capita for that time: North Da-
kota. 1922: Montana, -. II: Washing
ton, IS. II: Wyoming, s4.0S; Idaho,
