The drainage project is big one, but

Frank Mitchell a foreigner en-

fessed to Magistrate Mast that he
had killed Mrs. Mary A. Richards, had
beaten her daughter, Mrs. Faulds, and
had robbed his employer of money
during the latter's absence in Potts

Faulds, returning home, found his
house locked. Summon ng a farm
hand, they broke into the cellar and
found the dead body of Mrs. Faulds'
mother, Mrs. Richards, lying on the
cellar floor, shot through the heart.
On the kitchen floor was the badly
battered form of Mrs. FaulGs, uncOn-

in His Body Was Broken.
Ralph Johnstone was killed by a
drop of 800 feet in his runaway biplane |
at Overland Park at Denver, Col. He |
tried to remove his helmet after he |
struck the earth, gave a few short |
gasps and expired Nearly every bone |
in his body was broken.
From the time he lost control of the
machine until it struck the earth it
turned three complete somersaults,
and it is a question whether something
broke or whether the machine was
broken by the strain of these evOlu-
tions before it struck the ground.
When the crowd saw the machine
whirling downward there was scat
tering, and the space on which 1t fell
was clear of people until the crash.
Then there was a rush to the spot
where Johnstone's crushed and bloody
body lay. Police were the first at his
side and lifted the motor which bore
him down. Then the crowd was driven
back and a canvas stretcher secured
to remove the body. Forced backward
by the officers, the crowd next rushed
to where the lighter parts of the ma
chine lay in a tangled heap thirty
feet away, and before the police could
prevent it the framework and every
thing had been broken or torn to bits
and carried away by souvenir fiends.
Johnstone had been doing magnif-
cent work in the air for two days, and
previous tC the accident had scared
away from the park and taken a turn
over Fort Logan, several miles dis
tant, while HoXsey and BroOklns were
manCeuvring over the park. When the
crowd saw him returning at an alti-
tudeOf about 500 feet there was a
great cheer. AS he gracefully dipped
his machine in response he was again
cheered. and he then began making a
spiral descent to the starting ground
in the park, and then it was noticed
that his machine wobbled several
times. Suddenly the aeroplane swerv
ed. darted toward the ground and after
turning three somersaults struck the
earth with terrific force.
During the descent Johnstone coulC
been seen tlu,cning the levers abou
his seat, while the frightened specta
tors wondered if by some chanoe h
couldn't right his machine and saw
r. himself from death

tators rushed from the grand STAN

PICNIC HELD FRIDAY.

The first annual picnic of the ,-ai
ter County Farmers Institute was
held Friday on the demonstration
farm near the Hignight school house.
There were more women than men in
attendance and all enjoyed the day
thoroughly. District Agricultural Agent
A. G. Graham addressed the farmers
along the lines OF the work that is
being done by the United States gov
ernment and of the results of thai
work. He told of the number o, boys
in his district that are competing for
the corn prizes. In his district there
are 252 boys working for the prizes
and out Of that number 100 are IN
dead earnest and have strained every
nerve TO make a success of their
crops Mr.. Graham said next year
there would be 500 boys instead OF
$50. In outlining the work for next
year, Mr.. Graham said farm meet
ings" would be instituted. On a GER
tain day the farmers will meet at
one farm and go all over it, compare
the crops and observe the methods
Of cultivation and on another day a
similar visit will be made to another
farm. He believes this system will
put the farmers to competing with
each other, they will cease trying TO
cultivate so much land and will culti-
vate more thoroughly what they have
and the profit of the year will be
greater

farm was another speaker He gave
review OF the results he had reaped
from two years of practical work IN

a good talker and kept the farmers
thoroughly interested in what he was
saying. One illustration he gave was
the manner in which he planted his
corn this year Two rows of corn
We're planted and two were skipped in
this particular field. Some six weeks
after the corn had been planted he
drilled in two rows of peas in The

returns from all sections of the state
give indications that corn is in gem

ception of that in the extreme south

fered most severely from the long
continued drought, that was only
partially broken by the scattering
showers last week.
In southern Oklahoma the heat
has been most intense and there
has been but little rain to break
its effect. Farmers and grain dealers
declare that the crop is ruined in
some places near the Texas line
where rain was not had for over II
month and hot winds burned the
fields. However, the showing is good
in most parts, even of southern
Oklahoma. and at least normal
crop is expected.
In the southwestern section of the
state the corn is in places spotted
hut the showers of last week worked
wonders there and occasional rain
through the remainder of July and
August will give the southwest a
big crop, as the acreage reported
from that district is much in ad-
vance of that of last year when
more of the soil was planted in
