RUSSIANS SEND THEIR BEST MILITARY COMPANIES TO
 FINLAND.
Revolution Will Take Place Over Try ing to Extort Money from the
 Fins for Care of Army.

St Petersburg. Oct 20.-The threat. ening situation in Finland has spread dismay in St. Petersburg society ow. ing to the prospect of the officers of the crack regiments of the guard he. ing called upon to pass the winter in the bleak bamacKs of the cantonments of Finland instead of participating in the gaieties attending the return Of the count to this city
 There have been no orders issued for the dispatch of troops beyond those already on the way to the grand duchy, according to an officer of the staff, but word has been passed to the officers of seven elite regiments to hold themselves in readiness for a winter campaign.
 It is rumore that some the reg'. ments may leave here next week and will be distributed by attachments in the various towns.
 A prominent Finnish official said tocny thst open resistance to Russia's demand fo ran annual military contri. button by Finland was entirely out Of the question He believed there would be a passive refusal to appropriate money for national defense and there would be little headway made in the collection Of the smoun. un.il that work was placed in the hands of the Russians.
 The official considered the annexa- ton of the eastern portion of Vlborg province settled and he expressed the opinion that this would lead to the general immigration of Finnish resi- dents to the new frontier.

Montgomery county was pledged at a meeting of the Womble Board of Trade here last night to the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad if it will build the branch line now being pro jected from McAlester, Okla, to Hot Springs, through Womble. The line as projected will go via Wilburton nnd Telehena, Okla. and Mena, Ark. Ev. cry member of the Board of Trade volunteered his personal services in securing the right of way and com mittee was appointed to confer with committees from boards of trade of other towns interested in securing the road.
 Several surveys made in the past few years of the western outlet rom Hot Springs have all passed over the ground upon which Womble is built and the route by here and through the Caddo valley is one Of easy grade and needs only one bridge over the Ouachita river The slate and min. eral deposits, timber and farming in. terests of this district have already been tapped by the Gurdon-W WOmble branch of the Iron Mountain opened for traffic in 1908, and should the Katy make a junction here with the Gould line, it would be worth a great deal to This community and would probably be a highly satlsfac. tory arrangement as between the roads.

 MADE SWIM 50 FEET.
Witnesses the Feat of the Cow Punch ers-When Starting to Mount His Horse Shied at
 Rattesnske.

Gregory, Texas, Oct 20.-President Taft had a touch of rural ranch life this afternoon when he rode a COW pony to a small round up of some 200 head of cattle of the Rincon sec ton of his brothers ranch, saw two wild steers cut out of the "bunch" and roped, witnessed the branding of some calves and saw half hundred steers taking a spectacular dip in a disinfecting tank, through which they had to swim for fifty feet or more. The president was given picture of real life on the plains and the expe- rience was novel one.
 A big rattlesnake with seventeen rattles and a button was killed at the Rincon ranch house shortly before the president arrived there from ais brothers palatial farm house at La Quinta The presidents horse sam" spied the dead snake just as the president was about to take his seat in the saddle to ge, to the round up and bucked yiciously a number Of times. After President Taft had once gotten safely aboard, however, sam was. a good horse and cut up no more
 The president began his day with a game of golf against Charles F. Taft. While these two were On the links, Secretary of War Dickinson and Captain Archibald w. Butt, the presi- dents aide, were at the f. ssh water tanks, ten miles away trying to du- plicate their performance of yester- day, when they bagged fifty-nine nal. lards, red heads and other species of wild ducks. He wore an old khaki outfit today that was anything but in. dicative of the high office he holds. The president himself appeared in khaki riding suit with la Panama.
 Secretary Dickinson and Captain Butt went direct from the shooting blinds, where they had stood for hours waist deep in mud and water to the Rincon ranch house. President Taft. Charles F. Taft and members of the latter's family journeyed in automobiles from La Quinta to Rin. con and there the entire party was put on horses for the mile or more ride to the round up
 President Taft led the procession with Superintendent Green of nhe Taft ranch at his side. The lowing of the cattle came over the plains long before the herd was in sight It was the biggest bunch" of cattle, as they say on the ranch. that the president had ever seen and he lr ed on admiringly as the half score of COW punchers rode here and there. keeping the herd in perfect control.
 A small bunch was cut out to show the president how the ranch work is carried on and then two wild steers were starred galloping over the plain wfth half a dozen cowboys in pursuit. First the animals were roped around the neck and then by the hind legs end finally thrown. The methods of the eowmen in tying and releasing the cattle were fully explained to the president.
 iohicrToW afternoon President Taft VIII visit the town Of Taft named for him, and where at the last cleo. tlon he received the unanimous vote or every man over 21 years old.
 Secretary Dickinson and Captain Butt got thirty-eight ducks today and the secretary, being a crack shot seain lea his young rival by a com. forable margin.

HEN SEEN A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE ACT WAS Jov-
 iAL AND TALkATlVE.
uicide Was Found Near the Whit. ing' nj .'ark in a Grove of Trees
 Finances Thought To
 Be the Cause.

J. D. Henry of the firm of Henry & Hickey, who leased the Great Northern Hotel a few months ago, committed suicide about o'clock yes terday afternoon. by shooting himself with a .3S Colts revolver. The bull let entered just behind the right ear. but it's exit has not been located
 The suicide took place in a lonely spot about one mile from the end of the Wilmington avenue car line. The las; party who seems to have been with the deceased was Ernest Gibbs, who accompanied Mfr. Henry on the car as far as Wilmington Park. MT. Henry got off there and the next known of him was the discovery that he w3s lying dead in a grove. MT. Lusk, a visitor who has tent bung- alow in the neighbofhood of the trag- edy. reported to the coroner. Dr. Ran dolph, that he had found a man lying on the ground ill stupor CT dead condition.
 Dr Randolph and his assistan's i'm enediately investigated the report. with the results as above stated.
 The body was removed to Chris Ledwidge's undertaking establishment and was then removed to the family residence.
 The only theorl that has been ad- vanced so far with respect to the mo. tive That may have impened the de. ceased to suicide is that he may have been unduly wcfhied over financial troubles. Joyial. optimistic and haiI fellow well met he was one of the last personis in the world who might be expected to commit so rash an act
 When MT. Hickey, partner of the deceased, was called up over the tele. phone last night, he positively refused 10 give statement of any kind. sim ply replying that he knew nothing mere than what the newspapers hal found out
 The deceased leaves one brother. P l.. Henry, clelk in the local post. office; mother and sister in Illinois.
 His family consists of a wife and three children who reside in this city. His son Percy is at present attend. ing the Naval Academy at Annapolis and has a splendid record to his cred. it. One daughter, Gertrude, is in col. lege in Decator, IT., and the other, Lncy, is attending the public schools of this city.
 Mir. Henry was singer of consid. erable note and he was ever ready to give his services in any entertainment and especially if it was of charitable character.
 Mr. Henry was born in Arcola. Ill. in 1886, where he acquired a splendid education. After leaving home he spent many years of his life in Ne. bra:sa, where he was connected with different banks and in every way mad proved success.
 He came here with his family about live years ago and wrs for some time manager of the local telephone ex. change. He left this position to take one in the Arkansas National Bank and was later in the real estate bust. ness.
 After funeral services at the family residence the remains will be shipped to Arcola, III, where the interment will take place.

BUT HE ALWAYS GOT THEM.
Mike Byrne's Troubles in Finding
Fat Cattle for Market.

Mike Byrne reports that the cattle
business is becoming somewhat cas-
Ter, now since the feed on the prairie
is good enough to furnish good grass
beef. He has had contract for fur
nishing the contractors at the dam,
with all their meat, and this with his
business in Richfeld has required
mofe than 1000 fat cattle a year. AS
the cattle business in this section of
the state has practically been extin-
guished by the sheep interests, it has
made him travel far and near to get
enough cattle to fill his orders. He
has covered the whole country be-
tween here and Montana, picking up
all the beeves on the way, and he has
gone south into Nevada, on the same
mission. But now that the grass is
fattening the animals so that almost
every class of kline, calf, COW, steer,
yearling or four-year-old is fat
enough for the block, it is much cas-
Ter to get the necessary supply.
