TRIED 70 RESCUE HOWARD.
Friends Of Kentucky Feud Leader Hold
Up Train, but Are Unsuccessful.

Corbin, KY, Dec. 9.-Friends of Barry
Howard, the mountain feud leader
made an attempt to rescue him Satur-
day night as he was being taken to
Frankfort to answer an Indictment
charging him with completely in the
murder OF William Goebel, for which he
had been arrested Saturday afternoon
by Sheriff Broughton and his deputy
who got the drop on Howard and his
bodyguard after Turing them into Pine
vile.
AS soon as Howard was arrested his
friends, who had protected him for
nearly two years, swore he should never
be taken to Frankfort. A guard OF
twenty-five armed men was maintained
over the prisoner while here and ten
men accompanied Sheriff Broughton
and the prisoner to Frankfort.
Howard was taken to Frankfort on
the Middleboro and Louisville night ex-
press Of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad, which passes Pineville at 1928
o. m. When this train reached Middles-
boro, shortly before 10 O'clock, Conduc-
tor Joseph Doody was notified that
Howard was to be conveyed on his train
and an attack upon 1t was expected. To
save life in the event OF an attack by
armed men Doody YVES ordered by the
division superintendent to transfer to
the sleeping car in the rear all the pas
sengers in the day coaches and to let
these be empty.
When the train reached Pineville
sheriff Broughton and his posse boarded
it with the prisoner and We're given one
of the coaches, which was locked at
both ends. At the same time three men
friends of Howard, boarded the engine.
They covered Engineer John Langan
with pistols and commanded him to
back the train to Miidlesboro, the in
tention being to rescue Howard where
his friends are greatest and where the
mountains afford the quickest escape.
Engineer Langan, with pistol press
ed against his heart. declared 1t was
impossible to back. as a freight train
was closely following and collision
with great loss of life would Inevitably
result.
% the freight train!" said one of
the men. Back this train to Middles-
horo''
Engineer Langan rarleyed with the
men. He told them ne did not have
charge of the train, and would only back
it on a signal to do SO by the conductor.
Then the crowd surrounded Conductor
Doody and ordered hirn to back the train
to Middlesboro. He replied he could not,
owing to the freight train closely follow
ing, and said it was his duty to protect
his passengers. The mountaineers told

The breeders Of improved stock of all
kinds have enjoyed unusual success
during 1901. Many Of these have gone
out after the very best obtainable in
other states and Europe to further i'm
prove their fiocks and herds, and no ex-
pense has been spared by them, and
the results have been most gratifying,
as demands for their best service stock
have been constantly increasing.
To emphasize this and to show that
the breeders Of improved stock in Iowa
are determined to be at the top, de-
sire to call your attention to Mr.. w. d.
Flats auction sale of forty-five import
ed shorthorns at the Chicago Union
stock yards, at which sale Iowa breed
ers secured ten head by paying ian av-
erage of $207.2S per head more for them
than the average received per head for
the forty-five head sold, altho this av-
erage was s1.123.22.
We have in our state 222 national
banks. 223 state, go savings and 553 pri-
vate banks. total Of 1870 banks. with
deposits, Nov. l, OF 1922. 143. 994.00, of
which amount, when supplemented by
the commission men, has been found
ample for all our needs. We have not
had failure OF national or sttae bank
since June 1899, and the deposits in our
state and savings banks have more than
doubled in the last four years.
The cattle on feed in our state In 1899
was very close to 234. 000-our high water
MARYLAND in 1900. 10 per cent less, and
this season will not exceed $4,000 head;
but the most OF these are in the hands
of old, experienced feeders. who always
feed, and who will finish them right, and
expect to get close around S cents for
them when they come to market.
Our hog industry Is next in impor-
tance to cattle, as we have more than
1900. 900 head in this state. The cholera
scourge has been milder than usual, and
the increased price will repay the hog
raiser for the so cent corn he must feed
them. No citizen OF the state has a
more satisfied look than the farmer
with fine bunch of fat hogs.
z Finally, no state furnishes the great
markets with more or better stock in all
lines than Iowa.
The United States census Is too slow
and conservative to be Of much practi-
cal benefit or aid In the preparation Of
a showing OF this kind. Happily we were
able to get much assistance from Mr..
J. r. Sage, the efficient director Of our
crop service bureau, whose long service

Mr.. Harris, addressing the convention
in behalf of Iowa, said:
Mr.. President. Ladies and Gentlemen:
In reply to the question. What IS the
condition of the live stock industry In
Iowa, desire to say that the industry
is in very satisfactory condition and
that breeders, growers, feeders and
dealers have been making some money
the past year. and have most excellent
prospects ahead.
During the past year we have had in
our state the worst drouth ever known
in the state, but have come out OF it in
better shape than we expected, again
proving what we have claimed for years
that Iowa soil will stand more wet or
drouth than that of any other state. The
continued rains in the spring prevented
the sowing of the usual acreage to small
grains and compelled our people to put
In more corn than usual, which in
creased the acreage of our staple crop
very materially. AT one time the whole
crop was supposed to be beyond help.
but timely rains and the wonderful
staying qualities of Iowa soil saved the
crop, and the gathering Of the crop is
now so near completion that we know
we shall have not less than sixty-eight
per cent of an ordinary or average crop,
or total of 225, 600 900 bushels.
The crop of 1900 equalled 345,OO0,O0O bu-
ed three hundred and forty-five million
shells; but that was away above the av-
erage, and worth at husking time but q
cents per bushel while our presen. crop
is worth now. anywhere in the state,
80 cents per bushel. The fear OF short
age induced our people to cut up their
corn. and they have now in stock many
thousands of acres of most excellent
fodder, worth from 81 to SIS per acre; so
with the increased price and the addi-
ton of fodder for extra feed, We are
really better off than in 1876.
