GAwKY BUT GRITTY BOYS.

Three green, gawky boys left Monte-
yuma about the same time several years
ago. The loafers on the goods boxes de-
clared that neither OF them would
amount to anything. But the young
fellows started out full Of hope and
courage and, strange as It may Seem,
each one Of them was determined to
make a lawyer. This made the goods
box prophets all the more reckless in
their predictions. The boys got down to
business. Each took the law course at
the State University and in that day
this was not a very extensive affair
Now, these three fellows stand at the
head of the profession i'll the commune

been county attorney of Greene county,

CORN CROP RUINED
 ALONG TENNESSEE Damage in Great River Valley Will Amount to $300,000 HIGH WATER IS RECEDING Between Decatur and Whltenburg the Damage to Corn Will Amount to
 15o,ooo-cotton Crop Not
 So Badly Hurt.
HIGH WATER IS RECEDING

New Decatur, August 26.-(Special.)- With the abatement of the rain the Ten nessee River is falling and the back water has about entirely receded from the bottom lands The damage to the corn crop in the Tennessee River bottoms can hardly be estimated, but it will run high up in the thousands of dollars.
 Between Decatur and Whitesburg plant CTS estimate the damage to corn at about s150,00o, while the damage between Deca- tur and Florence will even exceed these figures. R. P. McEntire. who owns plantation in the river bottoms below the railroad bridge on the north side of the river says that his corn has been damaged fully $3600 by the overflow. Farmers on the upland plantations say that the cot . ton Is taking the rust on account of the rains, and that the plant is shedding its bolls very badly. Cotton is later than ever before on account of the late spring and chilly rains in April. It will be the middle of September or later before cot ton picking starts. An early frost Is greatly dreaded by the planters here, as 1t would cut off much of the cotton crop
 A planter from the Valhermoosa dis trict said today that cotton in his section would be about an average crop, but that the corn would be cut about one-third less than the crop of last season.
 Corn is retailing at $1 per bushel cash. and Irish potatoes at from $150 to g a bushel. Garden truck Is very scarce.

Demonstrations Ended.

sapulpa, l. T., August 2s-Demonstra- tions against negroes came to a sudden end with the arrival of Deputy United States Marshal Bud Trail and Captain White. They were met here by United States Marshal Bennett and Governor Porter, principal chief of the Creek Ma ton. Marshal Bennett instructed them 10 arrest all offenders and send them to Muskogee in chains and to deputize cft'- zens if help was needed. He stated to your representative that he would pre- vent an outbreak if he had to order troops from Fort Gibson. Mayor Miller issued firm proclamation, commanding the citizens committee to stop posting notices. This was the result of a very severe reprimand from the authorities ties for a proclamation of Saturday. The deputy marshals have sworn in men for service tonight but all is. quiet and no trouble is expected. Nearly all of the ne- groes not owning property have left town. Marshals have torn down warnings of the committee, including new lot posted last night. The published state ment that politics caused the trouble is not substantiated.

Decatur Citizens Now Know Why
 Many Chickens Are Missing.

New Decatur, August 26.-(Special.)-A lively foot race took place here yester- day afternoon in which policeman and about twenty citizens with guns and pistols, and negro chicken thief named Garfield Bindford, took part. For some time people who live in the Bond block neighborhood have been missing their chickens, but were unable to learn where they were going until yesterday when Bindford was caught in the very act
 Under shed he had set a dead-fall bated with corn, and was stationed In the back yard of a business house from which point he pulled the string letting down the fall When caught he had in his possession three chickens belong ing to Hoodage Brothers.
 He succeeded in escaping from the of- ficer and ran and hid under the cotton compress. Several shots were fired un- der the compress and the rain of lead being too warm he broke and ran, but was later surrounded and captured in Frey's flower garden and was taken to jail where he now Is.
