OuCd DEAD In Tard.
Marlin, Tex, Nov Near Otto,
fourteen miles northeast of Marlin,
an effort was made by an unknown
person to enter the home of Mrs
c. w. Hickerson, that lady and her
daughter being alone. Will CrisweN,
q young farmer, near by, was asked
by the ladies to come and protect them
at night he being by himself, that
night. Mr. Criswell complied. Mrs.
Hickerson proceeded to prepare bed
for him, and while she was doing
this CrisWell, seeming to be attacked
by spell Of m0mentary dementia,
caught the lady and inflicted two cuts
with a razor upon her throat. He
then walked into the hall, where he
met the daughte. OF the wounded lady
and informed her that some one had
wounded her mother, and that he
would go into the yard and fire his
pistol and by that means give an
alarm. One pistol shot was heard
Some minutes PASSED and the man
was called for, but he failed TO re-
spond. The young lady gave the
alarm, and after Mrs. HickersOn re-
ceived medical attention the lifeless
body Of young Criswell was found in
a sitting posture against the gate at
his home. A pistol was held in his
hand. The two families were on the
best and most neighborly terms 1t
is impossible to account for the
strange and bloody deeds except that
the same were committed in mo-
ment of dementia. Mrs. Hickerson
will recover She is a widow with
several children. Criswen leaves a
wife and three small children.

New York. Nov. 2.-Senaj0r Francis
Z. Warren Of Wyoming, who has Just
returned from . trip abroard, IS greatly
interested in the recent financial dis
turbance and asked many questions
about it. He @aid he believed there
was no occasion for alarm. as the trou-
bles were merely caused by swinging
back Of the pendulum. These panics
cannot hurt the country" said Senator
Warren. I have noticed that the
country after each financial depres-
sion is much stronger than it was be-
fore. We see how really strong our
nation is wnen these panics come.
The fundamental industries of the ma
ton are never shaken by these condi-
tons. | am not advocating any idea
to take the powers or rights away
from the states, but | do think some
tang stronger than state control Is
necessary to govern trust companies.
These companies should at least have
% per cent III reserve, but We find
when a unheavei come that some OF
them have only ; per cent. The power
and efficiency OF Federal supervision
over financial companies is manifest
in the condition Of national banks in

Guthrie, Nov. Cotton Growers
in all parts OF Oklahoma and Indian

and discussed the cotton market sit
uation 1t was decided to hold the

vanced to certain point The cotton
growers have a compact organization,
and each member is sworn to secre-
sy.. 1t is rumOred the minimum price
at which farmers will sell is flied at
16 cents
The action Of the cotton growers to
hold thee rop is considered in a IA
vorable light by financial concerns
as indicating that the furry has not
frightened planters, and that they are
not in need Of ready money. The
fact that the banks will not be called
on to supply cotton purchase funds
will aid in restoring normal condi-
tions. 1t is estimated that over 49,
600 bales of cotton will be held cut
