DistributiOn-Many Ne

egram.)-C. w. Larson OF Red Oak denied
a rumor that started in the state house
today that he had resigned as secretary Of
the Pharmacy commission TO take effect

might resign some time soon. The state

in Des Molnes while his drug store at Red

the Pharmacy commission work there.
Reward in TrimbIe Case.
Governor Carroll has set August % as
the date for hearing claims as to distribu-
ton Of $500 reward offered by the state for
the capture of William Winter. the MUIR
derer of Lin Trimble. The reward Of
$500 raised by the citizens OF Union and
Hardin counties will probably be decided
in the same proportions.

was grown on the Cherokee State farm

astically for It.
