MOB NEARLY LYNCHED HIM.
Timely Arrival Of Policeman Save
Life Of John Petruney.


With rope around his neck and-whiIe
being dragged to a telegraph pole by a mob
John. Petruney escaped lynching at Perth
Amboy. N. J.. yesterday only because of
the timely arrival of Policeman Chris Han
sen.
The policeman had to use his night stick
to beat off the men who were bent on
lynching Petruney. and he could not have
saved the man even then il other police
men had not come to his assistance. They
held the crowd of until a trolley ear came
along. The police hastily put Petruney
aboard it and beating off the mob, took
their prisoner away. Petruney had shot
and instantly killed George Sebak and had
MORALLY wounded Michael Sebak in a fight
which started in saloon.
Mike Petruney, brother of John, struck
George Sebak in the face and started the
fighting. Sebak's brother Michael went to
his aid and together they gave Mike Petru-
ney a severe beating. Mike Petruney called
for help and his brother John ran up and
shot George Sebak and then fired at Mich
and he will probably die. Angry friends of
the Sebaks then undertook to avenge the
shooting of the brothers. John Petruney was
seized and held while a rope was procured
A slip moose was placed over his head and
drawn tight around his neck, and with fif-
teen or twenty men pulling the other
end he was dragged toward a telegraph
pole and dragged short distance away.
The crowd had almost reached the tele-
graph pole from which they proposed to
hang Petruney when Policeman Hansen,
attracted by the pistol shots, arrived.
Petruney was arraigned before the re-
corder and held on charge of murder.
He claims that he was compelled to shoot
the two men in order to save the life of
his brother Mike Petruney was held as an
accessory to the murder.

READY TO SUPPLY BOND.
Attorney Ambrose Discusses the Cas-
Of His Client, Miss Pickett.

VI Lib S4ASAt, 0A4oo Z oCA0tG.
In discussing the case of his client. Miss
Ellen Pickett, this morning. Attorney
William E. Ambrose declared that he was
ready to furnish bond for her release at
any time, and the delay in securing Miss
Puckett's release from jail. pending the
grand jury's action. Is deemed necessary
on account of the impending Police Court
hearing In the case. Mr.. Ambrose says he
was fully prepared to proceed when the
case was called in the Police Court yester-
day, but the government secured con-
tinuance until next Tuesday, and 1t was
not deemed advisable to put the defendant
to the expense Of securing bond for only
one weeks liberty. when it Is almost GER
tain that another bond will be demanded
by the Police Court Judge when the pre-
liminary hearing Is completed and Miss
Pickett Is remanded for a grand jury in
vestigation.
Beyond indicating an affirmative answer
to the question whether other persons
would be involved before the case Is con-
cluded Mr.. Ambrose said he could mot
even intimate what line of defense will be
adopted. 1t has been stated, and probably
autheritatively, that Miss Pickett has
many relatives of influential families both
in Virginia and Arkansas. and the intima-
ton cast abroad is that they will come to
her rescue and endeavor to extricate her
from the seeming maze of deals in other
peoples property In which 1t Is alleged
that she is involved.

COttOnseed Meal for Hogs

Texas Experiment Station, c
Gently read before the Swine
Breeders Association at the
Texas Farmers Congress a re.
view Of experiments in feeding
cottonseed meal to hogs. The
Allison or fermentation method
of feeding meal to hogs has re.
ceived much attention among
Texas farmers, as we'll az the
Texas and Arkansas stations.
Prot. Marshall calls attention to
the fact that in some instances
the heavier and cheaper gains Of
meal fed hogs have been made
much of without mentioning the
fatalities, or that ia corn fed
hogs under exactly the same
conditions no deaths occurred.
The sum mary OF the Texas bull.
lctin IS. contains this state mcnt:
"a comparison OF the results OF
this experiment with those OF
other stations at which cotton.
seed meal was fed ia the ordinary
Fundamentally way indicates
that cottonsccd meal may be
used in larger quantities and for
longer periods when fcrmcnted
and fed in slop than when fed
withou, being fcrmcn,cd."
Some Of the state mcnts made
by Prof. Marshall tina, will ia.
terest hog raiscrs most arc sub.
stantially as follows: Good
green pasture does 10 a material
measure Offset the Injurious eff
fects OF cottonsecd meal. The

February / to March /" was the
lowest OF all. Zen hogs had six.
seventies OF an acre in the clover.
and the clover was in good shape
al the end OF the period. The
hogs were then put on three.
fourths OF an acre OF rape. Not
morc than onc.third OF the for.
age was consumed, the total
amount OF land in clover aud

ing one and Il quarter acres.
From ST. 10 SIS per acre can be
secured from such crops used
for this purpose, and with AMI
mails eating less corn and cotton
seed meal and more pasture, the
time through which il would be
safe to feed the meal would be
longer.
This lot that made the cheap.

average daily gain per pig was
81 pound. 1t took us pounds
of feed per pound Of gain, at
cost Of SIS cents per pound OF
gain. 1t should be noted that
the experiment was to make a
test Of feeding cottonsccd meal,
and that these gains cost more
than they would outside of a test
OF this kind.
Prof. Marshall mmarizes as
follows: THE teachings OF these
experiments are not at vari-
ance With the expressions OF
many OF the intelligent Texas
farmers who have been loud in
their praises Of fcrmcntcd cot
tonsccd meal for swine. Other
cxpcrimenters, notably DR.. Din.
widdic. OF Arkansas, have shown
that a 100 pound hog can safely
eat onc.half 4 pound OF cotton.
seed mcal daily for An indefinite
length OF time. Their expert.
mcnts, aud ours, show that
under some conditions heavy
feeding can be continued for
more than forty days. The facts
Just stated have no, been prop.
crly appreciated by those who
claim to have proven icrmcntci
cottonsccd meal TO be a safe feed
for hogs. No one. to my knowl.
edge, has yet fed cottonsccd
meal as heavily or as long as we
have without experiencing s,mi.
lar results Prof. Marshall here
refers TO an unquo,cd par, OF
his article relating TO deaths
among hogs when fed too much
meal. He continues as follows:
The addition OF cottonsccd
meal costing $50 per ton to a "a.
ton Of 50 cent. corn il very
profitable il discontinued in
time. No one familiar with the
subject can fail TO appreciate
tho excellent effect OF cottonsccd
meal upon the gains and ap.
pcarancc. and therefore value OF
fed hogs. II is TO be hoped
that the time will conc when
hogs may be finished on cot.
,onsccd meal with no unusual
risk. The grounds for faith in
such hope arc, however. to
those unbiased on the question,
very small.
Before the trouble can be
remcdici the cause must be as.
