Chester Farmers Are HakIRs Coed "slas.
Money" Raislng tAs Festive sheais.

Glosser, La, Dec. 22.-Despite the
fact that Saturday was the most dis
agreeable that this section has seen
for some time, torrents Of rain fall
ing throughout the day, it was busy
day in the little town Of Gloster. The
farmers of this immediate section
hauled in and delivered to ]. w.
Stewart, Of Frierson, two car loads
Of fine hogs, which Dir. Stewart ship
ped to Fort Worth, Texas.
One car Of these hogs were sold to
Mr.. Stewart BY Bowling Bros, Ltd.
which makes two car loads they have
sold this season at a very satisfac-
tory price, and at figures that make
the raising Of hogs and peanuts very
profitable.
Mr.. Stewart paid out over $1,000
Tor the hogs which he brought here
Saturday and to the farmers who
raised these hogs this was a nice
little sum and represented almost no
cash investment and very little labor.
Mr.. Stewart informs your cores
pondent that he had shipped previous
to these two, cars, four cars, which
with the one shipped by Bowling
Bros, Ltd, some time ago, makes
seven cars Of hogs shipped from this
place and Frierson, most Of which
hogs were raised in the northern part
of De Soto parish. In addition to
the hogs shipped by Mr. Stewart, he
has shipped out twenty cars Of cattle
this season and has on hand now
about three hundred head which he
will market later.

CAGE KILLED

Two Men Meet Accidental Death At Oliver Shaft Yes terday Afternoon in Quick Succession

Two miners met death in what is known as the Oliver shaft at Lowell yesterday afternoon.
 A Slovenian miner named Lee Guraseryich was instantly killed yes terday afternoon at the Oliver shaft of the C. & A. property by being caught between the cage and the tim ber.ng of the shaft The accident oc- cured about 3:30, while the man wa cotning of shift.
 Guraservich got on the top deck ot a three-compartment cage, with eight other men, getting on at the 1O00-foot level. In the two lower decks of the cage there were eighteen more men, nine on each deck.
 Somewhere between the 1O00-foot level and the S00-foOl level Guraser- vich in some manner fell from the as cending cage and was pinned between the cage and the timbering. The mans body was caught on the third deck and brought to the surface, but before the top was reached the man was dead.
 It is impossible to learn just whal caused the man to fall from the cage but the general supposition is that he became dizzy No detailed account of the horrible accident can be SC cured, eVen from the men who were on the top deck of tn cage with the man when he fell to his death. The body was taken to Lowell and taking establishment
 Tbe first report of the accident which reached Bisbee yesterday af. ternoon was to the effect that three men had been killed at the Oliver shaft by a cave-7n. Within half an hour of the time this report was cur rent another rumor was in circulation which placed the number of dead al two. with one man injured. A still later, and as if proved to be. a none the more correct report was in stating that only one man was dead. but that two more had been seriously in jured and would probably die. 4 Re view reporter was sent to the Oliver mine, where the real facts of the case as given above were secured.
 The second unfortunate man to meet his death in the oliver shaft within six hours yesterday was Mat; Arola. miner. Arola was working on the 115O-foot level. and according tc the best information that could be secured last night death was caused by the man being struck on the head by large rock.
 That the rock must have been of large dimensions is surmised owing 10 the fact that 1t was stated at the Oliver mine last night that the dead ly missile only fell a distance of three or four feet before 1t struck Arola-

Many Cases Viii ome Be- fore U. s. Grand Jury IncIud- ing Those of Eddleman and Nolan

TOMBSTONE. April 21-The com ing session of the United States grand jury. which is called to meet in this city on Monday next. promises to be one of the most important sessions of that body that has ever been held in this distritc since Coehise county was cut of from Pima county and made a separate district with Santa Cruz county. The grand jury will have quite a number of cases to con Isider hna United States Attorney Alexander is now getting the testi- mony in shape for presentation to that body. There will be a number of matters presented to that body of which there has been as yet no of ficial papers filed or even docketed in the clerks office of the United States oourt There are a number of cases of smuggling and one or two cases of passing counterfeit money. as well as one or two cases of violations f the Edmunds act
 Foremost in importance and public interest will be the investigation of that body into the cases arising out of the failure of the First National bank in Bisbee. and the charges that have Teen filed against J. H. Nolan and W. J. Eddleman, officers of that institution, who have been charged hv the government with falsifying the records of the bank end swearing to the false statements thereof. It is very probable that before this inyes- tigaiton is comDleted there will be others implicated in the charges and that when the indictments are return ed others will be called into court to answer charges.
 Another case that will attr9ct some attention is that of the govern ment ys.. C. T. McGlone. who is also charged by the government with hay ing embedded money in his charge while he was acting as forest super visor of the Chiriccahua forest re- se-ve. McGlone has been under bond for some time.
