Farmers Rush Cotton to Gin.
''''''-'1V '1V&g'1''~'

Farmers Rush Cotton to Gin.
An unusually large amount Of cotton
grown in the northwest portion Of
Crawford county has been offered on
the local markets at Van Buren, and it
now develops that the haste to mar
ket the cotton is due to threats Of
night riders to burn gins, these threats
having become more frequent along
the Arkansas and Oklahoma state line.
Persons in Van Buren Saturday morn
ing from Arkloe, II miles northwest
of Van Buren, brought the following
copy of a letter received by j. S.
Brown, a ginner, and posted by him.
as requested:
PLEASE POST"
"Mr. j. S. Brown, Ginner: To all
farmers, union and nonunion, we warn
you not to sell your cotton for less
than 10 cents. If you do you will pay
the rest. You will think that the
Lord has blessed you wonderfully if

"P. S.-We are out to do the work.
If you havnt the nerve to protect
your family, we will, and you must go
when we call you. God help us
through the fight"
j. L. Rea, who received the first
warning, and others who have been
watching the trend of affairs, are con-
fident that if there is an organization
of this kind in the county it has head
quarters in the northwest part Of the
county in close proximity to the state
line. The greatest fear is felt in that
section, as the county is less taickly
settled and the cotton growers are
small farmers who have a hard time
to live from one years crop to another.
It is absolutely necessary for them TO
sell their crops as soon as ginned, and
If they cannot market it, many Of them
with winter approaching, will be re-
duced to absolute want.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-An Ameri-

brought to light, according to the an
nual report of Charles B. Walcott, sec
retary of the Smithsonian Institution.
Under a special congressional appro-
priation the work of excavating a pre-
historic buried city at Casa Granda,
near Florence, Ariz., has been con-

ready number of structures have

massive walls inclosing plaza In
the central room there is seat called
by the Pima indians the seat of Mon
tezuma"
The ruins at Casa Granda were
found to be very much more ex-
tensive than was expected. 1t is said
that their permanent preservation is of
great archaeological interest.
In connection with special researches
DR.. Walcott says that although the re-

for extensive exploration or investi-
cations as far as the income allows

EVAFAY'S HUSBAND
COMMITS SUICIDE
Blows Out Brains With Revol-
yer in Oakland Hotel; At
tributed to Dependency
Spouse of wonder Worker
Kills Self on Eve of Leav=
ing for Denver

John Tiedemann Fay, said to be a
son of Anna Eva Fay, the mind reader,
and husband of Eva Fay a wonder
worker" who completed an engage
ment at an Oakland theater last night,
committed suicide in his apartments on
the sixth floor of the st. Mark hotel
in Oakland at 4:45 o'clock yesterday
afternoon by shooting himself through
the mouth with a revolver.
The reason for the suicide is a mys-
terry, although it is presumed that Fay
was respondent on account of the lack
of success which had attended his
wife's present tour through the west.
Mrs. Fay, with her maid, was in room
GIT when she heard the report of a
shot in room 619, adjoining, where she
had left her husband. Throwing open
the door she found him gasping for
breath with blood gushing from his
mouth. Drs. Dudley Smith, John Dunn
and A. S. Kelly were summoned, but
Fay was dead when they arrived.
Fay and his wife had finished dinner
and retired to their apartments Just
prior to the suicide. Their engagement
at the theater closed Saturday and
they were preparing to leave for Den
ver where Mrs. Fay was booked for
next week. They shipped their bag
gage and purchased their tickets
earlier in the day.
Mrs. Fay was prostrated by her hus-
bands death. She declared that he had
never expressed a thought of suicide
and that he seemed to be in his usual
spirits when they left the dinner table
Fay was a Mason and a member of the
Elks. In his pockets was found $109. &c
and several valuable rings and frater-
nal emblems were on his person. He
was 81 years old and native of Ohio
The body will be shipped to Boston

stabbed Yesterday he grew weak and
blood was taken from his brother S
