JET CASE IS UP
Testimony Began in Murder
of Town Marshal Cockrell.
JETT'S MOTHER PRESENT
Currently Rumored That the
Accused May Confess.
JETTS MOTHER PRESENT

Cynthiana. KY, Sept. 1.-THE testimony
was begun today in ene case against Cur
tbs Jett for killing Town Marshal Cockren
3 Jackson, KY, over a year ago. In the
case against Jett and White here last
month Captain 3. J. Even was the only
other witness that Commonwealth Attor-
ney Byrd was able TO introduce, but to-
day he introduced four other witnesses
whose testimony created so much com
ment as TO make the. situation sensation
al tonight.
The feature Of the afternoon was the
testimony of ohm Patrick, who was COM
PEELED to leave Breathitt county because
from his law Office across the street from
the court house at Jackson he had wit
messed the shooting of Cockrell and saw
what happened after the shooting OF
Marcum. But the most sensational de-
velopments today were outside Of the
court room. Mrs. Hagins, the mother Of
Curtis Jet, made open overtures not
only TO the attorneys for the common
wealth, but also to Thomas CockrelI, a
brother of the)Tictim. After her confer
erces with these parties during the noon
recess she continued them during the
afternoon and evening with Daniel Hurst,
the father Of Mrs. Marcum, Judge John
Patrick Attorney W. W. Waugh and
others, asking them TO intercede for her
son. Another conference is to be held
tomorrow morning with these parties and
others, and it is currently reported that
Curtis Jet may then make confession.
According to the best information from
those who were in the conference today,
eurtis Jet offered through his mother TO
make confession duplicating others in
the feud murders in Breathitt county,
bat ne insists on saving his uncles, and
for this reason the commonwealth would
nat accept hs overtures. 1t is stated that
rae commonwealth attorneys would not
accept anything except clean breast Of
the whole affair. and they seem confident
that such a confession will be fortheom-
ing before this trial is concluded, as the
prisoner thinks he has been deserted by
those who were expected to stand by
him. Jet is receiving letters from for
mer companions in Breathitt county. and
especially from Thomas White, who is
now in jail at COyington, Ky, awaiting
the result Of his appeal on a life SEN
tence for being an accomplish with Jet
in the killing of Marcum. These letters
encourage Jet TO be hopeful and stand
firm. 1t is reported that Jet has already
made a confession to his mother. There
is another report that he viii take the
stand in the ease and make a fun con-
fession as a witness.

STATE GAVE TREES.
Nearly Million and Half Are Sup
piled.

Dodge City, Kan, SPIT. 17.-Nearly a
million and half of trees were supplied
by the state free Of charge during the
last year TO the farmers of western
kansas to aid them in their efforts to
cover this section of the state, which is
generally referred TO as a semi-arid re-
gion, with q growth Of timber.
ONLY a few years ago a tree in the
s'short grass" country was a curiosity.
Nov many farmers have good groves of
trees and are planting more timber every
year 1t is believed climatic conditions
can be changed by the growing of trees
and the annual rainfall materially in
creased If enough are planted and they
live.
The trouble has been in finding trees
which would live. After trying a num-
Der of kinds the black locust finally won
favor and has been used to a great eX-
tent for some years. 1t has now fallen
into disrepute. however. and The honey
iqeust white ash and catalpa meet with
more favor.
r. NJ Wright the state commissioner
Of forestry. says:
During the past year the forestry sta
ticn AT Dodce Cit- has supplied about
sos ooa trees IL he farmers and the sta
never grow to a great size, that ism
ton at OgalIah has shipped out about
So, COO Next year we hope to be able
10 supply much greater number The
farmers are becoming greatly interested
IN the growing of trees and more are be
Ing planted every year. Il viii not be
many years before western Kansas will
have a fairly respectable growth Of tim
Der. II is true the trees probably will
never grow 10 a great size, that is, large
enough for lumber bat they will be
great help and can be used FOR posts and
frewood etc"

DISCHARGE CAUSES STRIKE.
Many Men Resent the Dismissal of an
EnpioYe.

San Francisco, Sept. 1.-THE Bulletin
tonight says; A general strike of the en-
ployes OF the California Northwest rail-
way was inaugurated by the calling out
Of the crewy of the steamer Theron on
her arrival at Theron at $3.50. Stimuli
taneously the employees of the shops at
that point ceased work with the freight
handlers and office men employed by
that road in this city. Some 800 or 400
men are involved. The immediate cause
of the strike was the discharge of the
night watchnan, Mcdonald, because, it
is alleged by the strikers, OF his member
ship in the United Brotherhood of Rail-
way Employees.
President Foster of the California
Northwestern says the strike was inaug-
urated because of the discharge of one
Of the employees for cause.

Standard Oil Ruins Beaumont.

Sb0HOdTu Oit rsQinS beaumont.
Fort orth, Sept. 1.-THE Fort Worth
Telegram prints the most startling story
that has ever come out of the Beaumont
oil fields, and states that its informant
is one of the most prominent men of Fort
Worth, who returned from Beaumont yes
terday.
This man declares the Standard Oil
Company has psrpetrated most gigantic
swindle in the Beaumont fields, and that
positively established details are just com
ing to light. The independent oil com
panies of Beaumont are the victims. Many
of them have been wrecked by the Stan
dards base work.
Recently some of the leading men of the
wrecked or injured companies determined
to investigate and in two days time rails
ed $4,000 with which to push the work
The developments. it is declared. are sim
ply astonishing. 1t is shown that num-
erous wells that were apparently ruined
by salt water We're put in their bad con-
dition by the Standard Company's con
spirators.
AS fast as a company went to the wall
it's property was bought by the standard.
OF the Standard was recently discovered
The Standard OH Company long ago
built a pipe line from Beaumont TO the
Gulf of Mexico. a pumping station was
erected at Beaumont and another at the
Gulf. oil was pumped through the pipe
line to the Gulf and thence shipped to
various parts of the world. Suddenly
many wells of Independent companies had
salt water in them. The ruin of the own
ers is part of the history OF the field.
One day, not long ago. one of the pump
ing stations got out of working order
and oil pumping TO the Gulf had to be
suspended while repairs were being made
Suddenly wells that had been giving out
fully one-half salt water began flowing
nothing but oil-good fuel oil, ii is de-
clared. That led to investigation. The
investigators at night secretly plugged
up the pipe line at the Beaumont end
They detoured several miles into the
country, dug into the ground over the
pipe line. made a tapping into the line
and salt water gushed into the air nearly
a hundred feet. 1t is claimed that the
pressure was from the Gulf pumping stc-
ton, and that salt water was being pump
ed 10 Beaumont and into the wells that
the Standard Company's censpirators de-
sired To wreck; that there was no pres
sure from the Beaumont end, because Of
the plugging of the pipe.
The informant of the Telegram declares
that force of detectives are at work
seeking evidence on which to have the
conspirators arrested.

.GENESEO MEN
ARE IN TROUBLE
Peter Parson Robbed and w. b
Howard Arrested for
Fraud.

Peter Parson, well-known and
well-to-do bachelor of Geneseo, was
the victim of Il hold-up in Davenport
late Saturday afternoon, being relieV-
ed of about $50 and a watch. Peter
visited Davenport Saturday and dur
ing the afternoon wandered into the
red light district, where, after duly
terrifying himself with liquid refresh
ments, he picked up female compan-
ion and started for drive. The wo-
man appeared to direct the course of
the pair and when they were out west
of town somewhere a couple of men
stepped from the bushes, pulled Par
son out of the rig, took his cash and
watch and then in company with the
woman drove away.
As soon as the victim could get his
bearings he returned to the city on
