JEFF RUFF HAS
BEEN CAUGHT,
Brought Back to Answer An
Indictment from OkIahO.
ma City by Sheriff Kelly
And Ruff is Now in the City Jail.

Sheriff Kelly left for Oklahoma
City Monday morning for the
purpose Of bringing back Jeff
Ruff, colored, who has been I'M
der indictment since the Febru-
ary term, 1902, Of the Circuit
Court for the killing of Ernest
Barnes, also colored. The kill
ing wasIthe result of a Christmas
row at a frolic near Richmond on
the night of Christmas eve 1901.
The killing took place in the
yard where the crowd had surg
ed after a general fight had be-
gun in the house. When the row
was ended Ernest Barnes was
dead from a pistol shot. Kent
Ruff, father of Jeff, was jointly
indicted with his son for the kill
ing, the Indictment charging
manslaughter. Kent Ruff has
neen tried for the offense and ac-
quilted.
The arrest was made by the
police of Oklahoma city at the in
stance of j. M. Clayton who had
been notified that Ruff was hiding
out somewhere in the Territory.
After the arrest Ruff agreed to
return without a requisition and
Sheriff Kelly went out to bring
him back. He arrived here with
his man Wednesday night and
placed him in Jail. The case
against Ruff will be called at the
August term of the Circuit court
and a trial will be had unless one
or the other side prays a contin-
uance for some good cause.
The victory for TupeIo's first
citizen. Hon. j. c. Kincannon, in
being sustained by the supreme
court of the state in his position
taken as railroad commissioner to
protect the humble people of
Pontotoc against the designs of
the schemers of the M. ]. & K. c.
railroad, is one Of which any
statesman may well feel proud.
Probably there never was a more
unfair and,stubborn, underhanded
fight made to coerce an official to
swerve from his duty than was
that got up by this railroad, its
lawyers and subsidized news
papers along its line. But Clate
Kincannon is not, made of the
stuff that wavers, when he feels
he is right, and in this case he
was certain of his position. The
fight, bitter and m alicious,
was leveled at him personally
throughout the northern part of
the state, all railroad interests
being centered upon and against
his position, but it was like firing
popguns at Gibraltar. When the
railroad proposed to cut Pom
totoc off from a depot within the
corporate limits so as to take in
the new location, Commissioner
Kincannon objected, and securing
TIE cooperation of one of his as
sociates on the commission, en-
joined the road from running
trains until they should comply
with the law. The highest legal
tribunal having sustained Com
missioner Kincannon's action
suggests that the people of this
district made no mistake when
they selected our worthy towns
man to a place on the Railroad
commission. -Tupelo Review.

PICKING MELONS.
How to Judge n Melon-Careful Han
ding Necessary.

HOW 10 JuuRc n
ding Necessary.
With the time for harvesting water
melons comes the most particular ana
exacting work of the season. 1t is no
easy matter to train the pickers to
gather melons in just the right condi-
ton for shipment. Consequently many
green and overripe melons are very apt
to be hauled daily to the packing sheds.
Unfortunately some melons of this
class find their way to the markets.
A Rocky Ford cantaloupe in right
condition for shipment has peculiar
grayish green color, which, contrasted
with the light colored netting, gives the
melon brownish cast. The netting
should be well out and fully developed
quite rough and of "a grayish white
color and lacelike appearance. The
stem parts at its juncture with the
melon, leaving none of its tissues ad-
herent to the fruit. A yellow color,
however slight, creeping over the mel
on is an indication of Overripeness.
As the melons continue to ripen the
fiela should be picked over once each
day until the height of the season ar
rives, when it will become necessary
to go over the vines two or three times
a day. A high percentage of overripe
melons may be avoided by frequent
pickings.
Each member of the picking gang
takes Il row, and the field Is gone over
systematically. A burlap sack slung
over the shoulders of the picker is usu-
ally used for picking in, but some
growers use half bushel baskets with
handles.
If sacks are used the melons are
emptied into piles along the heap
rows" made at intervals across the
field. From these piles they are picked
UP into crates and baskets and hauled
TO the packing shed. If half bushel
baskets are used the melons are left in
them to be carried to the packing shed.
and the handling Is reduced to II mini
num- However a great many baskets
are required for handling the crop in u
large field
The melons once picked should be
taken with the least delay possible to
the packing shed and got out Of the hot
rays of the sun. Careful handling in
picking and hauling is essentials. II.
