Once upon a time there was shallow

Colorado. Ancient streams poured into
this lake, their waters carrying insects,
which fell into them. There was great

great quantities of ashes and other debris
filled up the lake, burying the insects and
preserving them in fossil shape. Thus it
happens that gcologis;s nowadays dig out

"KUKLUX" IN ARKANSAS
AN ORGANIZED BAND COMMITTING
VARIOUS GRIMES.
1t Respects Neither Age or Sex--Supposed
to Have Killed at Least One Man and
One Woman.

Walnut Ridge, Ark, July 21.-There
is great excitement in Lawrence and
Randolph counties over the continued
outrages committed by band of men
known as the Kuklux. The band first
made its appearance in Randolph county
about a month ago and its operations
were confined to few townships, but it
Is spreading until now the two counties
are aroused over their actions. Hardly a.
week passes but some new outrage 10
committed. A number OF men and even
women have been dragged from theiE
homes at night and whipped in a MOST
cruel manner by the Kuklux, and ons
woman has died from the effects of o
noggdns edministered on her bare back.
The persons fogged have in every sass
been sitisens with whom che kuklix

bed, tied 10 q tree and whipped units
their backs were raw because they did
not send their daughter to school. Near
Redwood, in Lawrence county, a few
nights ago the band raided the home OF
Newton Gray, a respectable farmer, and
Gray has not been seen or heard from
since. It is believed he is dead. A num-
Der OF outrages have been committed in
the vicinity Of Richmond in the past
week and the excitement in that neigh
borhood is intense. Thirteen we'll known
residents of the neighborhood were ar
rested charged with being members of
the organization, but at the examining
trial ten Of them were dismissed, three
farmers, named Bishop, Fletcher and
Gates, being bound over to the Circuit

SHAMELESS SCOUNDRELS
A MOST REVOLVING CRIME ATTEMPTED
IN NORFOLK.
A Husband of Three Weeks is a Party to al
Effor to Seduce and Debase His Wife
-.0n Trial For the Crime.

Norfolk, Va, July 21.-Joseph Can
non, Guy Hall and Willie Smith were
put on trial to-day in the police court on
charge of conspiring to seducs and de-
bauch Lillian Cannon, wife of the de-
fendant first named. They were arrest
ed in the first place on a warrant charg-
ing them with abducting the woman for
immoral purposes, but the commonwealth
elected to proceed under the warrant for
conspiracy.
| Fifteen witnesses were sworn for the
prosecution and were excluded from the
court room. Counsel for the defense an.
nouneed that they would not offer any
testimony.
Mrs. Cannon, the bride OF three weeks.
told . story of mistreatment At the hands
Of her husband and related how shs had
gone ont to drive with Hall ct the sus-
sestion Of her husband, and that upon
being informed by Hall that she could no
longer have q home 1T the Cannon dolni-
ell, she inquired for q boarding house
and was taken by Hall to place on Main
street, where she remained until diseov-
cred yesterday.
John Mariner, one of the best known
business men Of Norfolk disclosed a dark
plot to ruin the woman in order to man
ufacture evidence in favor of Cannon
for divorce. He testified that Smith
had related to him the terms of bar
gain by which he was to receive one hun
dred dollars for his share i'm the iniquity
and had acknowledged receiving an ad-
vance payment Of eighteen dollars.
The hearing will be resumed in the
morning, when other developments NAV
be expected. 1t is thought probable that
Smith will turn States evidence.
