that the tune, No. 1S of the bandmen $

racers on the track have met disaster
AS fuckers unconscious body was
carried from the track, the number
from which the band had played was
whispered in the silent crowd, and
superstitious sportsmen quickly as
cribed the reason for the accident.
1t was largely fuckers determine

caused the accident, according to
those who were nearest when the fly

and another racer were a bare length
ahead of Phi Arnett when the bunch
came round the curve at the start OF
the last running race of the day
Tucker had been maneuvering for a
number of yards in an effort to pass
the two horses ahead of him, but ap-
parently was unable to get the addi-
tional speed from his mount until the
curve was reached.
Supposed to see what he thought
was an opening Enterprise and the
other leader, Tucker spurred his
mount in a desperate effort to pass
between them. Phil Arnett respond

as the other tried to pass him, and

Both went to their knees, Phil AT

managed to retain his seat and was
uninjured. Tucker was thrown with
terrific force to the packed surface o.
the road, striking upon his head.

OVER S35 DEBT
John Abernathy And John Ramey En-
gage in Struggle FOR Life-Re-
fuse to Discuss Matter.

Guthrie Okla, Aug. 25.-Engaging
in struggle for his own life, John H.
Abernathy, United States marshal,
yesterday took revolver from
John Ramsey, local attorney, and
turned him over to the police, Ramey
went to Abernathy's office in the fed
eral court house after making threats
that he would get even. Alternately
met him at the door of his Office and,
thinking he saw Ramey go for his hip
pocket artillery, leaped on him. 1t is
alleged that then the other man pull
ed his gun. 1t was struggle between
them. the one to shoot and the other
TO prevent it. Abernathy was sue
cessfuI and got the revolver away
from his antagonist without aid from
his Office force.
The trouble according to Abernathy
began yesterday morning. He dunned
Ramey for s35 due him because he
had signed note fro Ramey on the
ldlLEE y WCQulhb 0AJ 49,
years before. Ramey had not paid the
note, and Abernathy had to do It. he
asked Ramey when he would pay back
the money. Ramey told him he would
pay it when he got ready"
I'm a mind to make you pay 1t be-
fore then" replied Abernathy. I'D
like to slap your face and call it
square"
Ramey still according to Abernatny
explained with some anger that ne
would at once pay the money and as
he started away told Alternately he
would get even with him for what ne
said.
Ramey refused to discuss the mat
ter further than saying that he and
Alternately had trifing dispute TINS
morning, and that this afternoon when
he went up to the federal clerks OF

found revolver on his person

HEAR MURDER CHARGE
AGAINST MRS. BROWN.
Declares She Has Evidence to PrOUe Her In
nocence When Time COmes--NOt Worried
By Confession of Her epsOn---Declares
Talk of LOUe Between Herself and
Pete is Untrue.

Pawhuska, Okla. Aug %. r. The
hearing Of the cases of Mrs, Nettie
Brown, and her stepson, Pete Brown,
charged with the murder Of the wo-
mans husband, will take place here
today.
Il have not seen my husband since
he came to me on the night he dis
apepared and kissed me goodnight and
win nave evidence to prove that !
am innocent when the proper time
comes" declared Mrs. Nettie Brown,
charged with being implicated in the
murder of her husband at Bliss last
April, as she peered out Of the bars
in her cell at the county Jail at Bart
lesyille, where she was confined to
escape the violence Of Pawhuska farm
ers. and talked to a reporter of the
events of the past few weeks and her
career since the disappearance of her
husband. she is firm in her belief that
she will be acquitted and declares that
it was rete Brown who killed his
father.
She appeared not to be worried by
the confession which the boy had
made in which she was connected, or
by the threats Of violence which Paw
huska farmers had made against her.
"They will all know soon." she said
that / am not guilty, and / can stand
abuse for a while"
A glance at Ine face of Mrs. Brown
easily explains why simple country
youth might be SO enamored and fas-
cinated as to commit such a crime
as Pete Brown, the 2O-year-old boy,
has confessed. Strikingly pretty de-
spite the enect Of confinement and i'll
ness and worry caused, she says, over
the disappearance of her husband, she
possesses a peculiar element Of at
tractiveness that even approaches hpy-
notism IN it's power. She betrayed
not the slightest emotion on any sub
ject except when she told how the
old man nad come to the wagon where
she lay asleep near Bliss on the night
of his death and kissed her. Her
voice caught and she hesitated mo-
ment as she attempted to speak furth
er.
She told of her first discovery that
her husband was missing.
Il did not know that he had been
killed" she said, "until few days
ago. THE last time ] saw him was
when he came and kissed me good
night. | got up next morning at 3
O'Clock and found that my husband

husband was gone and requested that

This is not due to an enormous amount of rain during the sum- mer, but what rain there was came just at the right time and in the right manner to make grass. Dur ing last winter and spring the cattlemen of the lower San Simon valley lost great many cattle be- cause of the lack of water and grass on the range. During the last three years quite an amount of the San Simon valley above and around Rodeo has been settled by farmers and 1 understand that some of them produced pretty good crops this year, while others have done but little. The settlers have cat considerable wild hay for which they are receiving $10 per ton. The increase in the wild hay crop is indicated by the price it sells for. Last year there was but little and the price was $17 per ton, so am told. The increased quan- tity has lowered the price this year."

HIDES AND HORNS.

Cochise County Press: Manager H. K. Street, of the Boqrillas Land & Cattle Co.,, will ship q train load of 3 year old steers today to Cali fornia.
 Yuma Sentinel: Valentine West fall has sold all of his cattle and range and brand in the Mohawk valley to F. and E. Hodges, pro- prietors of the Hodges meat market in this city.
 Williams News: Martin Bug gelin shipped PA head of fat cattle to California points last Saturday. The cattle were billed to San Diego. Highgrove and Olive. s. Putnam, Ed. Geddis and L. O'Brien made joint shipment of eighty.one head on Wednesday to c. c. Hardy at San Diego. s. Pittman, this week, sold his stock interests in this vic inity to Fred Wolfe. The pur- chase price has not been given out.
 Yuma Sentinel Alberto I'm perial, accompanied by P. Munoz, left Friday morning for the Cibola valley, where they will gather the cattle belonging to Imperial, all of which have been contracted for by the two Yuma frms-Hodges Bros. and Balsz. Hodges Bros. during the week bought 200 fine hogs from George Fishbaugh. These porkers were raised at the Fishbaugh ranch, three miles down the valley, and are of superior quality.
 George Crosby's Paper: w. T. Webb has steers on pasture for sale six weeks later on. He has in the neighborhood of 250 head which he has just completed gathering, and is pasturing them on alfalfa think ing to sell them along about Christmas or New Years. MT. Webb says they will gain great deal in flesh between now and then, and he also thinks that the market will be better by that time. He says that cattle are looking well on the range now, and are still gaining quite bit, but that this weeks cold spell will likely start range cattle going down. He is yet gathering some steers and put ting them on pasture with the rest of them.
 Clifton Era: Joe Terrell, con nected with the Double Circle ranch, which is one of the biggest cattle concerns in the territory, arrived in Clifton this week with a bunch of bulls, which will be ship ped to Kansas City. These bulls have been discarded by the Double Circle for the purpose of making room for new and better ones, which are to be added shortly. Though the drive from the Circle range to Clifton usually requires but few days, Joe and his cow boys were on the road more than two weeks. They had quite time, due to the fact that the bulls got foot sore and could not travel to any advantage. Several days they did not make as much as three miles. Joe says that the next time he starts on a similar drive he will have the bruteS shod.
