CLEAN Statement
OF LIABILITIES
Was Furnished Yesterday at a Meeting
of the Creditors of Geo. M.
Kennedy.

The first meeting of the creditors
of Geo. NJ. Kennedy, who recently filed
voluntary petition in bankruptcy in
the federal court at Biloxi, was held
in this city Yesterday, when a sched-
ule of the assets and liabilities of Mr..
Kennedy was submitted to the refer
ee in bankruptcy.
It is said that Mr.. Kennedys list of
assets and liabilities was one of the
most complete ever furnished to the
court, and the commissioner in bank
ruptcy stated that Mr.. Kennedy's was
one of the cleanest assignments ever
made for the benefit of creditors, his
statement of assets including abso-
lutely everything he possessed.
The schedules were so well arrang'
ed that it is believed that the case
may be wound up without the slightest
difficulty, and the creditors have been
given clean and honest deal.
Until within the past few years, Mr..
Kennedy was one of the wealthiest
men of this section, and was general
ly recognized as a safe, conservative
business man. Much of his capital
was invested in timber, however, and
the severe storms of 1907-0S de-
stroyed millions of feet of good tim
Der which Mr.. Kennedy could have
disposed of at good prices. The panic
and the attendant decline in the price
of timber caused further reverses,
until recovery was Impossible,
hence the petition in bankruptcy was
resorted to as the last step to be ia
ken for the benefit of his creditors.

BOIL WEEV!L EXHIBIT

Special to The Nea0s.

New Orleans, La, Aug. IAN in
teresting exhibition of just what the
boil weevil is doing to the cotton crop
in Mississippi was given "Wednesday
in the Grunewald Hotel by Mr.. Lamp
ton, of Magnolia, Miss.
Mr.. hampton had full cut Of stalks
and the boil weevil in all stages could
be plainly seen. The exhibition was
entirely an impromptu affair in the
hotel lobby, as Mr.. hampton was show
ing it to the clerks.
at was the most complete thing CT
its kind l have ever SEEN" said John
B. Long, who was present, and who
has seen other exhibitions of the boil
weevil. The great destroyer of cot
ton could be observed at work in the
collection of stalks made by Mr..
Hampton, and it was all clear TO the
lay mind.
The general opinion is that Missis-
sippi will make at least as good a
crop as last year, and possibly better,
despite the great inroads made by the
boil weevil.

MISSISSIPPIANS
TO CLAIM LANDS

Biloxi, Miss, Aug. 12--Justice of
the Peace q. T. Champlin has, during
the last few days been busily engag-
ed in taking down testimony and ad-
ministering oaths to people who,
through genealogies which connect
them with the Indians who used to
live in Oklahoma nearly two centuries
ago, expect to soon inherit vast tracts
of land worth millions of dollars.
These people say they are descend
ants of aboriginals of the tribe that
dwelt in the wilds of Oklahoma in
the early days, and who died almost
forgotten by their descendants in
Mississippi. 1t is said that about 500
heirs to the big fortunes reside in
this state, and many of them, though
they have Indian blood in their veins,
look like any others of the Caucasian
race.

According to the story told by Mr..
Cousin. he was returning to his home
ON Bayou Lacomb from Covington, on
Monday, and stopped to water his
horse at branch on the publis road
in the Knott tract The day being
very hot, he alighted from the buggy

could drink, and stopped to battle his

son, one of the three convicts who es-
capped from the Oakley state farm a
few days since, was captured on Mill
street near the union station, in this
city Wednesday afternoon by Officer
Ross, of the local police force.
Ross recognized Wilson from the
printed description sent out by the
prison authorities. The fugitive at
first strenuously denied his identity
and gave a splendid stimulation of out
ragged dignity when the officer gently
reminded him that he had taken
French leave of the penitentiary.
On arrival at the city Jail order was
issued to strip the prisoner to see if
his body bore the scars set forth in
the description, and Wilson then ac-
knowledged his identity. He was sent
back to oakley this morning.
Wilson was sent up from Pike coun-
ty last October to serve a five-year
term for grand larceny. Jones Hollis
and Jackson Will, who also escaped
from the oakley farm a few days ago,
are still at liberty, and thus far nei-
Their of the four escapes from the
Rankin farm have been apprehended.

mission Also Prepared.
I'm Associated Pre3S.l

Washington, Aug. ia speedy de-
termination of the case involving an
advance of freight rates in official
territory is promised by
the action of the general counsel of
the roads in notifying the interstate
commerce commission that they
would be ready to proceed with the
hearing in New York on Monday. 1t
had been expected the 413 lines inter-
ested would not be able to prepare
their case for prosecution by that
time.
The commission itself is prepared to
go ahead with the hearing and the
likelihood now is that all of the testi-
mony in the matter of the recent date
advances on the eastern lines wii~be
in the hands of the commission by
September /.
By thus facilitating the taking OF
the evidence in the case, it is hoped
finally to dispose of the matter by the
first of October-a full month before
the tariffs under consideration are to
become effective.

wheel, and a blow from its hugv tail
passing within few inches of Mr..
Cousins head.
Mr. Cousins decided to take his
horse, which is a very fine Kentucky
blooded animal, to veterinary for
immediate attention, but the following
morning he and some friends returned
to the branch and routed the Old
gator from under the bridge and
killed it.
The measurements of the alligator
are: Across nose, 10 inches; length
of head, 20 inches; from tip of nose
to tip of tail, 8 feet and inches. The
animal is almost toothless, and very
lean. According to Mr.. Hendrix, who
resides in that section, this is thought
to be the same alligator that about
five years ago created havoc among
hogs and young cattle in the locality.

MAN SEEKS LIBERTY IN VAIN
Had Just Paid His Fine of $25 When
He Was Again Picked Up by the
Local Police and Held for the La
Crosse Officials.

Harry Gunderson of Minneapolis,
who was arrested in Kenosha more
than two months ago on charge of
robbing the coin boxes of the Keno
sha Home Telephone Company will
probably spend a good many months
in jail for as he walked out of the
county Jail late Tuesday afternoon he
was met by the chief of police who ar
rested him on charge OF robbing tele
phone boxes in Lacrosse.
Several days ago Chief Weber of
Lacrosse had notified the local officials
to secure the arrest of Gunderson the
minute he was released from serving
his sixty days term in the Kenosha
county Jail and it is understood that
the telephone companies defrauded by
the petty thieving of Gunderson and
other men in the same line of work
will see to it that warrants are issued
all along the line and Gunderson will
be kept busy serving Jail sentences
At the time Of the arrest of Gunder-
son in Kenosha it was alleged that
telephone companies in more than
twenty cities in Wisconsin and Min
nesota had made complaint of rob
berries of coin boxes and Gunderson
when arrested here admitted that he
had worked in Lacrosse and several
other places, but he did not give out
the names of other men who were CON
nected with the gang 1t is declared
that since the arrest and incarceration
of Gunderson the companies have not
received single complaint Of such
crimes and for this reason the man
ayers of the companies have been led
to believe that Gunderson either com
mitted all the robberies himself or that
he was at the head of gang of men
who were committing the crimes and
that he was sharing in the booty
At the time he pleaded "guilty"
in Kenosha he labored under the i'm
preston that he would not be ar
rested in any other city and when his
term in Jail was up Tuesday he paid
the fine Of $25 and costs which had
been assessed against him in addition
to the jail sentence.
Chief of Police Weber of Lacrosse
came to Kenosha early this morning
and took Gunderson to that city for
trial. It is declared that Gunderson
formerly lived in Lacrosse. At La
Crosse the workings of the gang were
exceedingly remunerative and it is de-
elared that in that city the men man
aged to get away with several humid
red dollars. After his arrest Gunder-
son was decidedly sullen and he de-
clined to go into any details in re-
gard to the Lacrosse matter.
