MYSTERIOUS MURDER OF
MAN AT BARTLESV|LLE

business. The arrest of Mrs. Deckard
drew from Miss Kate Barnard, state
commissioner of charities, stinging
rebuke for the county officials who
thrust her among hardened criminals
in Jail where no female ward was
maintained.
Mrs. Deckard, who says she was
born in Paris, but who speaks with a
decided cotton country accent, was
held for the grand jury under an $500
bond. The bond was made light be-
cause her attorney, ]. r. Charlton, the
man who convicted Emmett Dalton,
thought she might be able to stay out
of Jail If the amount was reasonable.
Deckard called OH his wife at the
county jail late Friday evening. He
had had a bond prepared and told her
he was going to the county to get 1t
signed. That was the extent Of their
conversation, according to the jailer.
Deckard took a northbound Santa Fe
train bound for Dewey late at night,
and late Saturday night his body was
found in the lonely spot near the nitro
works.
Deckard's head had been hacked in
many places with sharp instrument.
His tongue had been cut out and his
lower lip chopped away. He had been
washed carefully and no blood was
found on his clothing, but there was
evidence Of a scrubbing and his knees
showed traces Of blood which had been
scraped off, aid there was lint from
a towel on his trousers where soap and
water had been applied.
Nearly 500, the remainder of a
check he had drawn on a local bank
before 1t closed Friday, was missing

CROP ESTIMATE
CAUSES TUMULT
Short Crop of Cotton Is Assur-
ed on Government Figures
MILL TAKlNGS HEAVY
Secretary Hester Reports Little or No
Decrease In Mill Takings and
This Is Said Forecast a
Cotton Famine.
BY WALTER PARKER.

New Orleans, December I.-(Special.)-
There have been remarkable scenes in the
past on the floor Of the New Orleans
cotton exchange, but 1t Is doubtful If
any have been more dramatic than that
witnessed yesterday on the reading of the
agricultural departments estimate of the
cotton crop for 1909-10. Cheer after cheer
from hundreds of threats resounded
through the high-vaulted ceiling and for
the space Of a minute or more the tumut
was so great as to check business Ten
million, three hundred thousand, ten,
four, five and six were favorite guesses
Of what the estimate would be with oc-
oasionally guess at lower figures which
thing was announced in stentorian tones
from the callers stand as 1o.0SS.OO0 the
whole ring went wild with enthusiasm as
only a southern gathering can do.
What does the departments 10,0sS,0O0
mean?
On Thursday last 1t was pointed out
that the governments 500-pound bales
we're over per cent less than the actual
running bales Of this crop. SO we have:
Agricultural departments esti-
mate of production for 1909-10
In bales of 500 pounds gross
weight exclusive Of linters).. 10,0Ss 600
Less per cent to assimilate to-
tai to average Of actual run
ming bales Of this crop ....... 100000
Departments estimated produc-
ton In actual bales ............ 8,sS6000
Add linters per cent same av-
erage as for past ten years :. 100000
Repacks -. -. -. -. ........... 5000

msnt point to in actual square
bales Of commerce =. =. 49,. 10, 1853, 900
say -. =. -. -. -. -. -. e. 10,163, 900
Taking Mr.. Hester's growth Of last
year, say Is. $4,000, this means. If borne
out by results, shrinkage of 3,7620oo.
Does one realize what this means from
consumptive standpoint
The way the mills are going on, thus
far, short time" looks like moonshine
and yet there must be short time and
plenty Of 1t to eoualize the supply. In
face of the departments famine figures
Mr.. Hester reports mill takings for the
week at 100000. Why, If this could go
on 1t would mean 900 bales per an
mum!
In all they are behind last season only
10000 bales when the years supply will
be something like three and three-quarters
Of q million short.
