CASHIER R0BS BANK

CONCERN INDICTED.
BELIEVE S47OO LOSS MAY SWELL
Institution Closed Until State Exam
iner Can Complete an
Investigation.

Alva, Okla. -- Following the dis
coyery that S4,7C0 in cash had been
taken from the safe of the Bank OF
Commerce of Alya during Sunday, a
warrant has been sworn out for the
arrest of Lewis Westfall, cashier OF
the concern.
Westfall has been missing since sun
day morning, when he left Alya, stat
ing that he was going to Guthrie to
spend Sunday. The warrant charges
forgery, embezzlement and mutilation
of the records.
The alleged defalcatior was discov-
cred by officers of the bank when the
safe was opened Tuesday morning
Saturday night $4,000 had been placed
in the strong box. Monday the safe
could not he opened, and the cashier
failed to appear. The suspicion OF
the bank officers was aroused, and
when they opened the safe Tuesday
morning they found only $500 remain
ing.
As a result of the loss the bank is
closed, awaiting the arrival OF State
Bank Commissioner Smock, Whether
the defalcation will cause the bank ia
fail can not be determined until after
the bank examiner completes his In
vestigatiOn.

The three days institute held by the
Ridgeland Local Union was success,
although one of the principal speakers
died few days before the meeting and
another was unavoidably absent. The
example is one well worthy of emula-
ton by Unions throughout the State.
The educational feature OF the Union Is
one OF its strongest tenets, and these
Institutes are OF the best educational
features that can be employed. The
A. g. NJ. college, the department of
agriculture and commerce, department
of public education and the United
States department of agriculture's fecs-
onstration workers in the State are
ever willing TO assist in such events.
1t is TO be hoped that more OF the local
Unions will follow the example of

NINETEENTH DAY.
Senate.

The features of the Senate session were
in the telegram from w. j. Bryan inti-
mating his acceptance of the invitation
to address the Legislature, and that he
would endeavor to be here the latter part
of February, the exact date not as yet
being practicable to arrange, and the de-
feat after a long debate of the Anderson
SANDER bill, which lasted an hour, by a
vote OF 18 to 30, number of the Sena-
tors believing that it were better to have
q written than an unwritten law Tor
dealing with villifying reports.
Mr.. Holmes, from the judiciary com
mittee, called up the motion entered yes
tcrday to reconsider the vote whereby
the bill increasing the perquisites OF
members of boards of supervisors in CON
nection with the supervision of pubic
roads and bridges was passed, and moved
to table. The yeas and nays being de-
manded, the motion was adopted-42 to
30.
The House spent ah'hqnr discussing an
amendment to bill admitting, or pro-
posing to admit women as eligible Tor
the office of county superintendent OF
education, and after all the talk the bill
was defeated by tie vote.
A rather important measure was
passed by the House, which fixes a def.
mite time at which tax collectors shall
advertise lands for sale which are delin
quent for taxes Under the provisions
of the Code of 1906 there was a conflict
of dates, ana under the bill passed today
the date was made the first Monday III
April, and conforms to one Of the con
nicting sections.

EIGHTEENTH DAY.
Senate.


II was field day in the Senate for
the debators, with two attractive propo-
sitiohs before the upper branch, one of
them the Logan bill, to provide for the
taxing of stock after february /, where
business mas been started after that
date, which attracted considerable inter
est, as it is considered piece of ad-
vance legislation. The bill was ex-
plained By its author, and passed after a
general discussion.
The other bill that engendered ths fire
Of debate was what 10 known as the An
derson slander bill, in which the distih.
guished Senator from Lee county would
make the circulation of false and SLAM
derous reports criminal ofTense, and
it opened up for discussion topic that
permitted a wide range. 1t was the
committee substitute that created the
most discussion, as that would limit the
operations. Of tie law to cases where the
chastity of women or the assailing OF
the integrity of a public officer or max
ing unfounded charge of felony against
any person, and the subject was still un'
der discussion when the Senate ad-
journed .4.
The time of the lower house was dc
voted to the passage of d number OF bills
of a local and private nature, which had
come from the committee with favorable
reports, all of which went through with
out hitch or question.

New County Proposed.

There is a movement on foot to create
a new county, to be named Delta, and
for the purpose of which it is proposed
to take little bits from six counties,
whereby it is proposed to get county
that will measure 492 square miles. 1t
is proposed to get Sunaower county to
give up 4S square miles from its west
side; Leilore county y square miles
from its southwest corner; Washing
ton county, $50 miles from its southeast
corner; Sharkey, Is miles from its
northeast corner; Yazoo, ll6 miles from
its north end; and Holmes, IS miles
from its western side, and this terri
tory, it is argued, will give good
average sized county.

Would Experiment With Rice.

Congressman Humphreys endeavored
to have the trustees of the penitentiary
to plant a hundred or more acres in
Japan rice in the delta as a demonstra.
ton crop, but his efforts were fruitless.
1t seems that an experiment was made
last year and proved failure, but this
was of upland rice, which is quite a
different matter from Mr.. Humphreys
suggestion. He wants the experiment
made in Japan rice, which has proven
so successful in Louisiana and Texas,
and which the experts in the depart
ment of agriculture insist can be grown
with equal success in the Ya2oo delta.

One of the most practical measures
now before the legislature is the bill
to provide for the establishment OF a
cattle pest commission. This measure
is the direct outcome Of the gathering
together at Jackson during the State
fair last November of stock raisers
from different parts of the State, who
formed the Mississippi Live Stock
Growers Association. The bill asked
for an appropriation of only $4,000 for
the two years, which will be augmented
by financial help from the United
States department of agriculture.

coPIAH COUNTY CYCLONE
Deals Out Death and Destruction.
Number of Lives Lost


Hazlehurst.-A cyclone of terrific
force passed few miles below here
this afternoon. An immense amount OF
property damage was done, aid at
least twelve persons lost their lives.
Dwellings, farm houses, saw mills and
cotton gins were destroyed in large
numbers, and live stock suffered to a
great degree. On several places near.
ly every head of stock was killed, and
on some not one was left.
The storm came from the southwest.
Travelling i'll a northeasterly direction,
the cyclone, blowing from great re-
volving cloud, illuminated by con-
slant play of lightning, crossed the
Illinois Central about three miles south
of town, and limbs Of trees several feet
long, portions Of destroyed buildings,
and other evidences of the storm power
we're scattered from one end of town
to the other during the passage of the
storm, whose bowling winds could be
distinctly heard. Near where the rail-
road was crossed lived Ben Martin, a
farmer, and his wife, brother and four
children were instantly killed, as were
also several negroes
Striking the plantation of Bob Mid.
dleton, it completely wrecked his home
catching his family beneath the debris,
fatally iniuring him and breaking the
back of one of the lady members Of bis
family. One or two others in thai
locality were killed.
This is the fourth cyclone that Mas
passed through that section in the past
twenty-five years, the last one claiming
about 100 victims.
Surrounding towns in the direct path
Of the storm suffered damage during
the cyclones duration.
At Georgetown buildings were blowr
down, and at Hazlehurst two saw mills
were destroyed,
Center Point reports much damage
but no loss OF life.
