WHEAT CROP
ABOUT SOLD
BUT FEW BUSHELS OF LAST
YEARS YIELD REMAIN ON
HAND

Practically all of the old crop of
wheat has been sold and the ware
houses are empty and ready for the
crop of this year With the sale of 40
600 bushels of wheat by W. P. Reser "a
! few days ago the last big sale of the
season was contaminated and there ara
! but few scattering lots left in the
| houses through the valley. The price
paid for Mr.. Reaser's wheat, so cents,
was about the top of the market for
last years crop and there is no doubt
that if this price is sustained it will
rid the store houses Of the last sack.
Last years crop, while large, was
well handled and the car shortage was
not nearly SO noticeable as was that
Of the year before. Prices fiuctuated
greatly and the sales were run in
punches accordingly. Nearly all the
farmers held for 80 cents. but the
price was so long coming that not all
secured it. Indications for a good price
on the new crop are good. according 70
wheat buyers in the city.
Grain dealers are now getting ready
to handle the sack trade during til"
weeks just preceding the harvest. While
in some places the farmers unions
have combined ani bought their sacks
in large quantities not enough have
been secured in this manner to APP
preciably affect the local market. Pen
itentiary sacks are to be cheaper and
sacks shipped in from the coast will be,
also. on account of the new freight
rate made by the railroads this year.
Indications for big wheat crop this
been much better and with the
promised moisture in the near future
there will be crop that will rival even
that of last year. Farmers and deal
ers are making all preparations for
big yield and there is little doubt
that this will be realized
The acreage is practically the same
as that of last year, the amount of
summer following being just about the
same Grain is rot quite as far adj
vanced as it was at this time last year,
as the spring has been colder and not
quite so wet On Eureka fiat the grain
is in fine condition and in the Walla
Walla valley proper. notwithstanding
the reports to the contrary, grain con-
dit:ons are good.

Hettiaer Again Arrested.

Not long after w. V. Hettiger, man
ager of the Lyric moving picture show
at Ninth and Arch streets, was re-
leased from Jail, Tuesday having Sc
cured bond pending payment of the
81 900 fine imposed on him by JUS
tice E. H. Sanders Monday, he was
rearrested on the same charge of OBJ
scenity, and on furnishing $500 bond
he was allowed to 60 free until his
hearing on the second charge takes
place before Justice Sanders next
Friday morning at 10 o'clock. The
bond in the first case was $4,000,
which was signed by T. E. Helm, who
also signed he bond for the $500.
The manager of the show was seen
Tuesday night and expressed conf
dence that the higher court would not
sustain the charge of obscenity for
having displayed the Autograph of a
negro and a mulatto show girl cake
walking together. He admitted that
the display of the pictures was per-
hapS indiscreet, because of the fact
that persons passing on the car might
think the mulatto to be white wom-
an, but he thought that few would
come to such a conclusion on closer
examination

Sues WeiqeI for 1920.

Alleging she was whipped under
the instructions of e. N. Weigel, con-
tractor for the Pulaski county con-
victs, Lorena Hicks, a negro minor,
by her grandmother, Rachel Duck
rey, as next friend, filed a 1920
damage suit Thursday in the circuit
court against Weigel.
She alleges she was convicted OF
petit larceny in May last, and sent
to the Pulaski county Jail. The first
day she was there she claimed her
clothing caught fire and she was
burned about the hips. She alleges
that the next day she was taken to
the convict camp and was whipped
without cause. Since leaving the
convict camp, she claims she has
spent 5000 for medical attention, $40
for medicines and that the alleged
pain and anguish are worth $4,000 in
addition.

Poundmaster Fed Animals.

The report of Chief of Police Frank
McMahon to Mayor Duley in regard
TO the charge that the city pound
master has been guilty of mistreat-
ment of animals left in his charge
has not been presented, and, in fact,
II is not completed, but there is little
doubt as TO the principal findings to
be contained in the report. 1t Will
show that the only cruelty to animals
the poundkeeper has been guilty OF
is his own horse. 1t was charged
that his horse was suffering from n
sore back when Humane Ofhcer
Rankin arrested him, and the chiefs
report will bear this out. AS TO the
implied charge that the COWS there
had not been fed for some time, Chief
McMahon will say that the cows had
not been there more than rev
minutes when Officer Rankin arrived,
and that these animals were not
caused to suffer from food. At the
noon hour they were cared for, ac-
cording to the information in the
hands of the chief of police.
The report will probably carry no
recommendations, but Chief Nc
Mahon is thought to believe that the
stock placed in the pound has not
been mistreated and that there is
no cause for further action.

In front of the mining building of
the University of Nevada, at Reno,
stands a bronze statue of John w.
Mackay in miners costume, with a
pick in his hand. This figure was set
up recently in accordance with res
olution of the state legislature that a
monument typical of the states great
est industry should be placed before
the school of mines. 1t was decided
thus to honor Mr.. Mackay on account
of his connection with the develop.
ment of the Comstock lode; and he
was dressed as a miner, in flannel
shirt and cowhide boots, because it is
the practical prospector and miner
who does the great work on the field.
The descendants of Mr. Mackay are
to be congratulated on their respect
for their fathers early occupation. in
that the statue is erected with their
consent and assistance.

Novel Claim Against Road.

Judge Harry l.. Ponder of Walnut
Ridge has presented a novel claim to
the management of the Iron Noun
tain. in connection with the death OF
two very fine cows. On July and
again on July 7 Judge Ponder lost
high-bred COW, and upon lnveStlga-
ton claims to have discovered that
the COWS died from Texas fever, and
charges that the fever ticks thrown
out of cattle cars at or near the cattle
pens here.
1t is the custom of the Iron M2un-
tain employees to clean the cattle cars
near the stock pens while the cat
tie are being rested and fed at Wal
nut Ridge, in accordance with the
federal statute, and Judge Ponder
said that in the refuse taken from the
cars were a number OF fever ticks,
which infected the cows. Judge Pom
der employed a skilled veterinarian
to decide the exact cause of the death
of the COWS, and the claim against the
railroad is The result.

Boy Accidentally Shot.

Ollie Rosser, 10 years of age, son
of w. B. Rosser, who lives at Bee
ton, four miles north of Cotton Plant,
was dangerously hurt Tuesday AFTER
noon by the accidental discharge or
a pistol. The ball, which was of Al
caliber, penetrated the wall of the abb
domen and came out at point on
the shoulder.
The accident occurred about 8
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. At the
time Rosser was riding mule, and,
in attempting to remove his coat
the lining caught the trigger of the
pistol and caused the weapon to f1re.
After being taken to his home, it was
decided to send the boy 10 Little ROCK
for treatment in a hospital.
At the hospital, an examination or
the wound was made and 1t was stat
ed that the stomach had not been per-
forated by the bullet. There Is an
injury to one lung which may prove
serious and while the wounds are not
necessarily fatal, his condition is re-
garded as grave.

The Abuse of Servants,

Bridget and Dinah and Katrina con.
tnue to receive the censure, not to
say abuse, of the public press and pri-
waite individuals for their alleged I'M
satisfactory performances OF their du-
ties in the kitchen in the laundry, in
downstairs land in their ladies' cham
bers." The abuse is sometimes ex-
travagant and the censure undeserved.
Bridget and Dinah and Katrina often
do much better than the newspapers
and the mistresses would have us be-
heve. But, conceding that, upon the
whole, household servants are not as
efficient as they might be, is it sur
prising? If you found man who had
never driven a plane or handled saw,
and set him to work at the frame of a
house, and presently began to berate
him because he was a poor carpenter,
you would make yourself more ridicu'
lous than you would make him. IL you
wanted a coachman or groom, you
would hardly engage one who had
never seen a horse. If you did, and
your stock were badly cared for and
yourself run away with, you would be
laughed at if you blamed your incom-
petent retainers. Yet this is just what
is done by housekeepers in regard to
servants, says the New York Weekly.
1t is as unreasonable to expect women
TO cook or do other Homework before
learning how, as to expect man to
build house or manage horses with
cut any instruction or experience.
What is needed is a school for serv-
ants, or a system of apprenticeship, or
some other means of training them in
household work before they are called
upon to fill household positions.

Woman Bound TO Bed With Wire.

Mrs. Newton Petit. wife of
respected workman employed by
Hot Springs numbering concern mad
a terrifying experience at her nome
Wednesday and that she Is now awe
is no fault of an unknown assallant,
who. after beating her almost INTO
insensibility, thrust a rag saturated
with a solution of poison into her
mouth, bound her securely TO her pea
with wire and then placed a NUMBER
of matches in her mouth so that they
would become ignited if she moved
her head. Two hours after Mrs.
Petit had been bound and gagged
her husband returned home from
work and released her. On being re-
leased she fell into a faint, and is now
in a dangerous condition from ner-
vous exhaustion.
Mrs. Pettit's experience is con
sidered by the police 10 furnish one
of the most remarkable examples OF
bold criminality that has ever beeh
shown in Hot Springs. After she had
been beaten terribly the man at
tempted to force her to swallow
greenish liquid which she thought TO
be poison. He then bound her to the
bed, put a rag saturated with some
liquid in her mouth, and, after plac-
ing the matches in her mouth, hur-
riedly left the house.
Mrs. Petit was unable to furnish
a description of her assailant except
as to size. She is certain the man
wore a false mustache and beard as
he constantly pressed these DIS
guises against his face, in order 10
keep them in place.
With no clue to work on, the police
began a search for Hank McDanlels,
former husband of Mrs. Petit, VINO
it is said. has caused her trouble in
the past. McDaniels was arrested
some time after Mrs. Petit was dis
covered tied to the bed, but was
later released, after he had been
brought face to face with the woman.
She failed to identify him as her as
sailant and he proved an alibi.
An examination of the cloth thrust
into Mrs. Pettit's mouth was made
by City Chemist Cook and after two
tests he stated that it had been satur-
ated with arsenic before pelng
placed in her mouth.

For the first time in the history Of
the city, according to the records at
least, Fayetteville Saturday had a
rough and tumble fight where the
participants were women. The prin-
cipals in this affair were Mrs. Anna
Sheppard and a Mrs. Clark, and
though the cause of the trouble is not
known, it is known that they fought
vigorously for a while When friends
finally arrived to put a stop to the
fight it was found that Mrs Sheppard
had lost much of her hair and that
Mrs. Clark's clothes were badly torn
