Steam laundry for o. N. Perry to the
Zundel brothers, for which he was to
have a commission of $500. He could
not make the sale. so he took Steele into
The deal, promising him $3.50 of the
commission. Steele was a particular
friend of the Zundel brothers. and told
Wilson he would have nothing to do
with the deal. Wilson said he called
Steele's attention to the big diamonds
worn by Sandahl and Taylor as proof
of the fact that the laundry business
was profitable. and then offered to di-
vide the commission with him. after
which Steele thought better of the mat
ter. and the sale was made, but Steele
collected all the commission and paid
Wilson only SIS, the suit being brought

in order to get the deal through he had
to loan the Zur1el brothers $500. and
his understanding with Wilson was that
when the money was paid back they
would divide it as the commission. but
Zundel brothers failed and there is moth
ing to divide. Steele admitted that he
paid Wilson SIS, or rather gave it to
him, but for an entirely different pur-
pose.
Wilson came to me one day." said
Steele, land showed me the picture of a
pretty girl. who, he said, was well off

had lots of money and that he could
marry her. He wanted SIS to make a
trip down there to see her. and / let
him have SIS and afterwards gave him
$50 more
Steele said he thought that SIS was all

Convict Raised Hogs.

New Orleans, La, Dec. PA
large batch of hogs has reached
New Orleans, raised on the Miss
icsippi state penitentiary farm near
Tchula, Miss. The state of Miss
issippi employs all its convicts on
farms. Heretofore these farms
have mainly raised cotton, but the
crop has not been profitable in con-
sequence of the low price of cotton.
Last year the state penitentiary
cotton was held over for a better
price, but it did not come.
This year the disposition in Miss
issippi has been to drop cotton as
crop as much as possible and
raise fool crops instead. The pen
itentiary farm led off by going into
the business of raising hogs in
stead. The result is a large ship
ment of convict hogs" to New
Orleans. The logs are said to
have returned a handsome profit to
the state and to mike better re-
turns than cotton.
