taurant some distance away. Returning
he found wife and children gone. At first
their absence created no special alarm;
but soon the husband and father grew
uneasy. He made inquiries. He found
that Campbell, too, was missing. Then
he remembered the frequent visits to his
tent, and it all dawned upon him-they
had eloped.
But to make sure of 1t and get some
clue to the route they had taken, Diegle
called in friend of his, Harry Weaver.
He suspected that Mrs. Diegle's sister,
Gussie, was aiding her in her flight. He
had Weaver call up Gussie on the tele-
phone, and, claiming to be Campbell,
say he had got left and ask where Min
ME was. The scheme worked admirably
Gussie said they had gone to Baltimore.
Now came in some nice detective
work, which Diegle undertook alone and
unaided, except with authority of the
chief of police Of Columbus to sign his
name to kilograms looking to the arrest
of the fugitives. From Columbus they
were traced to Baltimore. In that city
he found the very restaurant at which
they spent the night. Here he learned
enough to make him suspect that they
were on their way to Raleigh.
Thereupon he sent Chief of Police
Norwood the following telegram:

This was Monday. The fugitives had
left Columbus on the Saturday before.
The telegram reached here at 9:20
o'clock Monday morning. and in ac-
cordance Herewith an officer was sent
to every train on which they could have
arrived.
In the meantime Diegle had tracked his
wife and Campbell to Washington,
learned that they had left there for Raj

second telegram was received, dated
from Washington. 1t read:

Chicago, H., Oct. 22-Judge Tuthin.
States Attorney Deneen, Assistant
States Attorney McEwen, ex-Judge
Vincent and Attorney Phalen had an
informal conference lasting over one
hour in the judges private chamber to-
day. George Middleton, the manager OF
a museum, was in the criminal court
building today and it was said he was
ready to schedule $4,000 and to sign
Luetgert's bonds if the noted prisoner
would place himself on exhibition at a
salary of $500 per week. Luetgert is not
favorably impressed with the proposition
as he believes it would injure his busi-
ness in the future.
No agreement was reached at the con-
ference. States Attorney Deneen vigor-
ously opposed the demand that the pris-
oner be released on bail, and the upshot
OF the argument was that no formal de-
mand for the prisoners admission to bail
Will be made. Ex-Judge Vincent said
he would let the matter rest for two or
three days and then make formal appIi-
cation. he added that any reasonable
bond could be given. 1t was intimated
that If the formal demand was denied a
writ of habeas corpus would be applied
for. If this action is taken States At
torney Deneen says he will at once put
Luetgert case on the calendar for trial
again, and it Is among the possibilities
that the big sausage maker may again
be on trial for his lie by the middle of
next week. Speaking of the prospects Of
a new trial Judge Tuthill said:
II fancy Luetgert will never again be
tried in court in this country. That
is question which must be decided up-
on when the State gets ready to make
another move. From the wide publicity.

given the evidence in the case the

in all parts Of the country and the fren-
zied interest which the people of Chicago
have taken in the outcome of the trial

think that the prosecution can find

Fall Oats and winter Grass.

The State Department of Agriculture an
swers two questions as follows:
Fall Oats-Is August too early TO put in
fall oats? Please give me some directions
for managing this crop. Is its feeding val
ne equal to corn, and would you advise
sowing largely of oats or would you de-
pend on the corn crop for stock feed?
There is no good reason for the opinion
so generally entertained that corn is bet
ter than oats as a stock food. Oats, pound
for pound, is actually superior as a feed
for both horses and cattle. August is too
early to sow the crop, but it is none too
early to prepare for it. The mistake so Of
ten made in managing an oat crop is that
we attempt to grow this crop on land too
poor to produce a profitable crop of any
thing else. 1t will pay to give thorough
preparation and heavy manure. PlOw deep
and concentrate the seed, the labor and
the fertilizer on a limited area, rather than
weaken the chances of success on extend
ed fields. If the land is deficient in humus,
cOttonseed or cottonseed meal will help to
supply the deficiency, and if, during the
winter, even a light top dressing of farm
yard manure can be used the yield Will be
wonderfully increased. For fall oats it is
important to plant winter grown seed. Sow
from ~ TO bushels to the acre. and COW
er from , to 8 inches deep. They should be
sOWn as early III September as the land
can be gotten ready. The object is to give
them a good start before the early frosIs.
If the planting is delayed the crop is Of
ten severely injured by the first freezes.
Winter Grass Hay.-Please give me some
information i'm regard to the best winter
grass to sow for hay. Something that will
not injure the land. How to prepare and
plant My land is fresh. Should l take
out the stumps and ''grubs?"
There are several grasses which might
be sown for hay, but taking everything
into consideration, ] should prefer 10 SOW
one Of the leguminous plants. such as
crimson clover. You not only get from it
a good crop of hay. but you enrich your
soil at the same time, and the clover is
ready for cutting in time to make a crop
of corn or cotton on the same land. Il is
somewhat difficult to cure, as il natures
i'm April, but that is the only objection
Break your land as deep as possible and
harrow until it is thoroughly pulverized
Apply and plow ia 200 pounds cotton seed
meal, 100 pounds muriate of potash and
100 pounds acid phosphate. Sow fifteen to
twenty pounds of seed about the middle of
September In your county Carroll and
harrow in lightly. BY all means take out
the stumps and "grubs" before attempt
ing to prepare the land. BY following di-
rectons you should take off a good crop
of clover In April, leaving the ground in
excellent condition to make a fine crop Of
cotton.

Pork Made ON Grass.

Our farmers, the most of them probably,
have yet to learn that it does not re
quire one-fifth the corn to make pork
prohtably in the south that was thought
necessary in the past Until nearly time
to cure them into meat the hogs require
little or no corn--if they are provided
with Bermuda grass, clover. peas, sor-
ghum, artichokes and the like. These
things can be grown SO as to "dovetail"
into each other as they come on, and il
is possible to make a $50 or 200-pound hog
ready for the butcher and feed il less
than three bushels of corn. viii not
some of our successful pork raisers
substantiate this statement? Three BUSH
els is in fact an extremely liberal allot-
ment. Fine pork can be made with much
less. Pork can be raised on clover. Ber-
muda, sorghum and artichokes just as
easy as beef can. Grown properly Bcr-
muda and sorghum can he made to sup

story, as near as the frontiersman, who
still lives here could remember it, IS as fol-

There was gathered in the valley where
Georgetown now stands, IN the cary part
of the century, a great meeting of the
numerous tribes of Indians of the plains
and moupDlins that had been at war as
far back as the Oldest chiefs could remem-
Der. A general desire for peace had been
shown by The various tribes, and the coun-
ell was for that purpose.
The plains Indians had elected a power

a leader Tu-se-nOw, noted far and wide for
his excellent qualities in settling difficult
ties. Tu-se-now brought a beautiful
daughter with him. whose name was Tah-
XII. She was the pride of all the mountain
tribes. and was known far and wide for her
wonderful beauty. For six years the par
ley lasted and broke up in row. A battle
was fought and won by Cor-nu-co-va. dur

beautiful maiden captured. The dead

at the head of Leavenworth canon and

After the battle the maiden, refusing to

was duly carried out. They not only burn
