HE FINDS HIS CHILD
A Father Seeks His Stolen
Daughter Nine Years.
Money Gone, Footsore and Weary, He and the
Mother Discover Her in Carp
Of Gypsies.
(By the Associated Press.)

Charlottesville, Ind, Oct 21.-Nine
years ago the 1O-year- old daughter of
Peter Bell, miller living at st. Marys.
Mercer county, Ohio, failed to return
home from school. The belief was gem
eral that she had been drowned. Her
father, however, refused to believe the
story and spent his meagre savings
searching for her. He finally became con-
WINGED, however, that the girl was dead.
A band of Gypsies camped near the
Bells Mill last August and one of them,
out of revenge, told Bell that his child
had been abducted by a gang of Gypsies
nine years ago. He said he had come all
the way from Mexico Mo-, to inform the
father of the whereabouts of his child.
Bell at once made preparations to go in
search of-the girl, and with Mrs Bell and
their other daughter, started for In
dianapolis by wagon. There they sold the
wagon and began the journey on foot.
They walked to Peoria, Ills. from there
to Quincy, to Keokuk, Iowa, and finally
traced the band of Gypsies to Carthage.
Arriving there last Saturday, the Rells
found the band in camp. When the leader
was confronted by the father of the girl
and local officers, he drew a gun, but the
officers overpowered him and he gave
up the girl.
The young woman says she has been
compelled to beg food and clothing for
the entire band of Gypsies, who at all
times have treated her cruelty. Mr.. Bell
intends to have the Gypsies indicted and
extradited to Mercer county, Ohio. for
trial. He has spent his last cent in the
search for his daughter.

managed only with the mat5ock Or dyna-
mite.
From the same county: 81 have few
acres of cow peas which l want to NOV
and cure for hay. and want 20 know when
to cut and how to cure them. Then
want to sow something on the land to NOW
in the spring for hay for horses. Rather
dry sandy upland" / have sent my bull
letin on Farming in North Carolina,
which gives the plan for saving the hay.
The best thing to sow on the land will
probably be either oats or wheat with
crimson clover. Wheat makes the heavier
crop of hay and the oats the best feed,
and if the clover does we'll you will have
good hay with either. The clover must be
cut as soon as it blooms to make good
horse hay. If left till the heads get
brown it is not fit for horses and is dan
gerous feed for them and the bristles will
ball in their stomachS. Hairy Vetch will
also be good but it seldom makes much
of a crop till the land gets inoculated
with the microbes that work on it,. If
little soil from an old garden where peas
have been grown is scattered over the
land it will inoculate the SOIL OF the
clover SOW 10 pounds per acre. Of the
vetch three pecks. OF wheat or oats five
pecks. A good dressing of fertilizer will
not be thrown away on the crop.
From Swain County: How far South
can Spring wheat be grown? l wish to get
gluten flour which is made from spring
wheat and contains all the grain but the
hull. P" Spring wheat is not adapted to
our climate as it is exposed to long hot
summer weather and does not make q
crop of any value. All the flour brought
from the great mills of the northwest is
made from spring wheat, but it is refined
to such an extent that it has little more
OF the phosphates than the southern
wheat. In fact as good wheat -four can be
made from the southern winter wheat by
the new process. The flour you are after
is probably the flour that was the result
OF the invention of Rev. ]. ]. Lafferty, of
Richmond, Va. If you write to DR.. Laf-
ferty, Richmond, Va, he will tell you
where to get the -four which contains the
whole grain except the she'll.

GOLD BRICK CASE
TO Be ARGUED TODAY
Is up on Appeal Before SUI
preme Court.
CHICAGO LAWYERS HERE
Blair and Gilmore Who Defended Capt
Oberlin Carter.
A NEW MOTION IN CARRIERS BEHALF
Captain Blair Goes From Here to Washington ID
Move 10 Advance the Habeas Corpus APP
peal. Both Lawyers to Appear Be-
fore the Supreme Court.

The case of the Greensboro gold brick
trio" who were convicted In Gull
ford Superior court and sentenced TO
terms in the State prison will be argued
on appeal today before the Supreme court,
This is the now celebrated case in which
the clever attempt was made to swindle
Mr. Paul Garrett, of Weldon, by the
gold brick method.
The three alleged swindlers. who are
in Jail at Greensboro, are evidently men
of means for they are represented here
today by two of the cleverest and ablest
lawyers in the West, who will argue their
case in the Supreme court today.
The two lawyers in question are from
Chicago They are Mr.. Frank P. Blair
Capt Oberlin NJ Carter, the United
States army officer who was convicted OF
defrauding the Government out OF thous-
ands Of dollars. both of these attorneys
obtained national regulations.
Mr.. Frank P. Blair, who has had charge
of the Carter case is a son of the candi-
date for the Vice Presidency OF that
name When he concludes the argument
in the case of the gold brick trio be-
fore the Supreme court today he will go
to Washington, ID. O., for the purpose OF
making a motion to advance the habeas
corpus application in Capt. Carriers be-
half before the Supreme Court Of the
United States. The application for the
writ of habeas corpus was decided adj
versely to Capt. Carter at Fort Leaven-
worth, where he is now serving five
years sentence. An appeal was then
taken to the United States Supreme Court
and Mr.. Blair will make a motion to adj
vance the case this week
Guilty. said Mr.. Blair with his bright
piercing eyes full of hope, Capt. Carter
never. He is as guilty as you are and
you know how much that may be"
But back to the gold brick trio They
are J. L. Howard, H. ID. Hawley and
Frank Thompson, the first two being un-
under a sentence of 10 years each and the
last one seven years 1t will be recalled
that they were convicted of a conspiracy
to defraud Paul Garrett, of Weldon. The
record of the case reads like a dime novel
and is intensely interesting. 1t will be
argued today by Messrs Blair and Gill
more, of Chicago and Judge w. P. Bynum,
of Greensboro for the defendants. and by
the Attorney General for the State.
