COTTON FAMINE IN ENGLAND.
Suspension of Mills Anticipated Because or
Shortage of Staple.

5nOrGage OF SLapIe.
LONDON, Oct 21-The shortage in
cotton at Liverpool is becoming Sc.
rious. There are only a few cargoes
on the way and supplies for a fort
night On hand. It is almost inevita-
BILE that a part of the machinery will
be stopped and that there will be a
repetition of the famine of a year
ago, with possibly a strained situa-
ton lasting even longer than on that
occasion.
The Increasing tendency of Amer
lean producers to combine for the
maintenance of values is regarded
as a very serious factor, because of
the apparent impossibility of obtain
ing substitutes for the American
staple in anything like sufficient
quantities to free the world from the
domination of the Southern States Of
the American Union.

ACCUSED OF MURDER.
A Lincoln County Man Bound Over for the
Next Grand jury.

The preliminary hearing of the man
named Woods one of the men suspec-
ted of the murder of H. G. Davis and
the burning of the Copeland ranch in
Lincoln county, several weeks ago,
took place at Lincoln last week and
Woods was bound over to the grand
jury without bail. The testimony at
the hearing was largely circumstantial
but it was enough to show conclusively
that a series Of grave crimes had been
committed and that the defendant
Woods knew a great deal more about
who was responsible for them than he
cared to tell. John Copeland, the well
known pioneer settler living in that
section, testified that at divers times
when the murder was being discussed,
Woods would always have version of
the affair that would in his opinion
make it foolish further to investigate
the matter. He said that Davis was
smothered in the burning building, be-
ing too weak to get out. Then when
two bodies We're found he said that the
men evidently killed each other. Mr..
Copeland was so impressed with the
evident desire of Woods to stop the in
vestigation that he swore to COM
plant against him and had him arres-
ted. A search of Woods home, which
is near the burned ranch, found sever
al hundreds pounds of flour which had
been emptied and the sacks not found.
Woods attempted to show where he
got the flour, but could only account
for about 50 pounds. The testimony
showed further. that Woods had con-
siderable stock and property the title
to which he could not account for. The
territory was represented in the hear
ing by Attorney Wharton Of White
Oaks, attorney for the Cattle Protective
association, and Attorney Hall Of Lin
coin, the Roswell Sheep company's at
torney, while Attorney Evans and At
torney Matthews represented Woods.
