where the crime was committed
was found to be At lonely spot
about half way between Galena
and Lowell. A large pool oil
blood marked the spot where the
unfortunate man met what may
result in death. Near the road
side lay the weapon which had
been used in the assault, and also
an empty whisky and beer bottle.
A piece of iron, said-to weigh
about a pound, to which was at
tached a piece of leather to be
placed around the wrist, showed
conclusively what the man had
been struck with. The weapon
is now in the hands of the Off.
Gals.
Hibbard is Well known in Cher.
okee county. A few years ago
he was arrested On complaint OF
Helen Bloom, a girl at that time
about II years Of age, who charg-
him with criminally assaulting
her. The girl made her home
with the Hubbard family near
Lowell, and the crime for which
he was arrested was alleged to
have been committed in the pres
ence of Mrs. Hubbard, while the
three were on their way from
Columbus. When the case was
tried in the district court in Ga
lena the plaintiff testified that
Mrs. Hubbard assisted her hus-
band in carrying out his desire.
Two hearings of the case were
had in the Cherokee county dis
trict court, and was then carried
to the supreme court, where ar
gument has been had although a
decision has not been handed
down.
1t is the belief of some people
familiar with the facts in the
case that the assault upon Hib-
bard is the outcome Of long ex-
listing enmity arising at the time
the charge was preferred against
him by the girl. However, 9TH
ers believe that the assailants
had no other desire than to take
his money from him, a fight fol-
lowing the holdup. The author
tiles will make an earnest effort
to Immediately locate the guilt,
parties.

LEFT FOR DEAD.
Hubbard WayIaid
by AssaiIanfs, Who After
Robbing and Beating
Him Placed Body I'm
Wagon and Make Their
Escape Victim I'm Seri-
GUS Condition.

In a semi-conscious condition
with death thought to be only q
few hours away, Martin Hubbard
lies at his home near Lowell. q
few miles east of Baxter, having
been the victim of a murderou.
assault and robbery at late
hour Saturday night.
The attack upon Hubbard wa.
perpetrated at a point about hall
way between Galena and Lowell
while he was on his way home
from Galena. He had gone I,
Galena early in the day and had
disposed of two loads of corn.
Lea, ing the city in the evening,
he started for his rural home,
having about 500 on his person.
Shortly before midnight Hib-
bard's wife is said to have been
awakened from her slumbers at
the residence by the continuous
barking of a dog. She arose to
investigate the strange actions OF
the dog and noticing a wagon
and team standing at the gate
near the house, naturally became
curious to know the circumstan-
ces. Going to the place the sight
that met her gaze was gruesome.
Lying in the wagon was the
seemingly dead body of her hus-
band, blood streaming from
wounds in his head, while the
victim of the assault was uncon-
scious. The team of Hubbard
had brought their owner from
the scene of the crime to his home
without a driver. The assault
ants having complicated their
dastardly deed, placed the body
in the wagon and started the
team homeward.
A physician was summoned
from Baxter Springs and attend
ed the assaulted farmer, his con-
dition being pronounced serious.
From the effect of being struck
on the head a number of times
with a blunt instrument, the
scalp was badly larcerated; across
the face was long cash, and the
right eyelid was almost torn
from its position.

NEW TEXT BOOKS
Children Entering School
This Term will Have 90
Purohass q supply Of
New Text Books.

This year the state having
adopted a new line of text books
for use in our public schools, de-
velops the fact that all the text
books save Hoenshel's Grammar,
|Prang's Drawing Books and Da-
Wilson's U. S. History, used in
| the schools up to and including
the eighth grade, are to be
changed. TIL, sc new books will
be offered with the privilege of
Exchanging the old books of a
like degree at about 90 per cent
| of the value of the new books.
That is, the old books will be
taken in at about 10 per cent of
the value of the new books. The
|old books must have their covers
on firmly (not sewed on) and ev-
|ery lesson intact complete.
Judging from previous expert
|ence, the Morrow = Carney Co.
thinks it a wise suggestion that
patrons of the school make il a
point to buy their books before
the opening of school, for the
reason that it is impossible to
guage the book needs of our
community, and the obtaining of
books at all times from central
repository is, for some reason, a
very slow process. At this time
when acquisitions are being made
on the book companies for the
complete state supplies, we find
them in about the same relative
position as to the needs of the
state, as we are to the needs OF
the town. and in consequence the
probabilities are that the schools
will suffer in spite of good in
tentions of publisher and book
dealer by not having an adequate
book supply. Thus conditions
can more easily be obviated
through the early purchasing of
books than through any other
means. The books used in these
grades are

THURSDAY, AUG. IS.


TREE PLANTING
Reports from all parts of III,
country show that the past season
has undoubtedly been character
lied by more extensive planting
of forest trees than any previous
year in the history of the United
States. The work is progressing
very favorably in every State in
the Union. II has been most ex'
tensive in California, in the great
Middle West, and in the New
England States. But even in thu
South, where planting has been
more or less limited because OF
existing natural forests, the scope
of the work has greatly broad
ened.
= The trees planted have been
mainly hardwoods. Several large
nurserymen, however, report
greater sales of conifers for for.
est planting than they have ever
made before. In the Middle West
catalpn, black locust, Usage or
ange. and Russian mulberry were
the favorite trees; in the North
and northeast preference was
given to white pine, chestnut.
larch, and spruce; in the South
the native conifers held the lead
and in California, where the i'm.
mense annual planting area has
been increased to at least fiv,
times its former size, eucalyptus
had practically a monopoly.
A few figures readily show tn
value Of forest planting from a
commercial standpoint. In Paw
nee County, Nebr., a 16-year-old
catalpa plantation gave net re.
turn of $l52.17 per acre at the
the time the plantation was cut.
This meant an annual profit Of
1924 per acre. A 10-year-old
plantation of the same species i'll
Kansas showed a net value OF
Sl97.S5 per acre. Still another
plantation, in Nebraska, gave a
net income of $1,000 ner acre
when IA years old, which amounts
to an annual income of $500 per
acre. Many equally striking cases
could be cited throughout the
Middle West, and it is known that
where the catalpa will succeed no
other tree will pay SO well. Good
soil and moisture conditions are.
however, essential for success
with this tree.
Usage orange has been known
to produce as high as 2,640 first
class posts and 2,272 second-class
posts per acre, and it is we'll un.
derstood that no posts are better
than those of Usage orange. Land
producing such a forest as this
could hardly be put to a better
use, since timber is the easiest of
all crops to raise and from now
on will never 60 begging for a
market. Red cedar in plantations
IS years old has reached value
of $200.54 per acre. European.
larch used for fence posts or tele-
phone posts reaches an average
value of $500 to $500. White pine
plantations 40 years old have ex-
ceeded a value of $500 per acre,
and II is known that the eucalyp-
tus, even when grown for fuel
alone, can compete as to profits
with oranges.
Itdoes not take a lifetime to get
results. Catalpa often reaches a
post size in from eight to ten
years, and will give service as a
post for from fifteen to forty
years. Usage orange. which
reaches post size in from twelve
to fifteen years, usually lasts
longer than catalpa. Black loo

borer in some regions, grows

MCDOWELL DOCKET HEAVY.

Five Capital Cases Tried DIR. ]. W.
Bailey Sentenced to One Year on the
County Roads For Adultery.
Marion, June 30.-Judge G. s.
Ferguson closed the first week of the
special term of Superior Court for
Mcdowell County for the trial of
criminal cases yesterday. SO far this
has been the most interesting as well
as the heaviest docket known in the
history Of this county. During the
week Judge Ferguson has passed
sentences aggregating more than 200
years in the States prison, as well as
several years to the county roads.
Peter Spry, Tom Snow, Will Hill
and Will Walden, four negroes en-
plOyed on the South & Western Rail-
road, were tried and convicted of
highway robbery of four Russians,
taking from them some $3.50. They
were each sentenced to ten years in
States prison. However, it devel-
Oped in the evidence that in COM
uniting this robbery they had killed
one of the Russians from whom
they had taken money, and they
were plead guilty by counsel APP
pointed by the court of murder in
the second degree, and were SEN
fenced to thirty years cumulative
upon the sentence for robbery, max
Ing 40 years in all each for the de-
PENDANTS.
There were several other minor
cases disposed of.
AN INTERESTING CASE.
The most interesting case, and
perhaps the case of greatest import
ance to the people, was the case of
DIR. j. W. Bailey and Mrs. s. L..
Cole, who were indicted for adultery.
DR.. Bailey is a practicing physician
at Old Fort, Mcdowell county, and
was called upon to attend his CO.
defendant some time in March, and
the evidence disclosed that improper
relations heve existed between them
since that time until last Monday,
when the husband of Mrs. Cole Sc
cured warrant and Wednesday the
defendants were put on trial. AT
the close of the evidence DR.. Bailey's
counsel stated that he could not re-
sist a verdict, but the counsel for
Mrs. Cole commended to the jury that
she was not guilty, in that she was
under tho influence of her physi =
clan, and that he through superior
mind, aided by the administration
of drugs, had her in his power, and
that she had not willingly entered
into this relation. The jury failed
to reach a verdict as to Mrs. Cole,
and the case was not pressed against
her.
The sentence of DR.. Bailey was
finally reduced to twelve months on
| the roads.
