Jury CLEAr" HEDDENDoRF
Finds Young Not Guilty OF
Murder Charge Preferred In
Harlan County.


HoLDREGE, Neb., June s.-(speciai)-
After being out less than ten hours the
jury in the Heddendorf case returned with
verdict in which they found the de-
PENDANT not guilty of the charge OF muir
der on which he was held. The verdict
was quite in keeping with Judge Dun
gan's instructions, and was looked for
by those who had given the case the
closest attention since its commencement
week ago. The murder for which the
youth was held was committed in March,
1909. and the victi was William G. Dill
Ion, a brother farmer, who lived alone
in Harlan county.
Following an investigation, Heddendorf
and a chum, George Cruiser, were ar
rested as the perpetrators of the deed.
The young men both made confessions
after being subjected TO a gruelling exam
ination. and these the state made the
foundation of their evidence to prove their
guilt The defense, however, showed sub
stantially that the confession was ex-
tracted from Heddendorf by coercion. and
numerous threats and inducements Of
fered him by the Harlan county attorney,
and that the lad was mentally an i'm
beetle.
The case, which has attracted perhaps
more attention than any other held in
this section Of the state for years con-
sumed a full week in the district court
here, during which the testimony was
listened to by interested spectators from
scores of towns around. The verdict given
yesterday virtually clears Critser's skirts
also. for had Heddendorf been found
guilty, his chum, too, would have had
to stood trial for being an accomplice to
Dillon's murder.

cording to her story, Turley was out shoot
ing rabbits with his sons, when he ran into
man who was killing pigs with pitch
fork, that had broken into his field. Turley
spoke to the man and In turn he was set
upon, the man being armed with his pitch
fork. In self defense. so the wife said, her
husband shot the man and killed him.
At the first trial the jury hung and on a
later trial Turley was convicted and sent
up for seventeen years. which Judgment
was affirmed by the supreme court. Many
persons have signed petition asking for
executive clemency. Turley has served in
Jail and In prison eight years. His wife still
lives on the farm and has managed to sup

LAST OF BALL GAMES
Desert League Season Nears Close With El Centro in the Lead
 For the Pennant.

With the exception of a series of hree games to be played between El 'entro and Imperial, the Imperial Val " baseball season is over.
 Holtville and Brawley have complet- ed their schedule and have disband- ed. Imperial will play El Centro at El Centro SatuIdd., dt Imperial, Sun day and if necessary a game will be played Monday, the place to be de- cided by Managers Breedlove and Ben son. El Centro is now two and a half games ahead of Imperial. In order to win the pennant Imperial must win all three games. El Centro can win by capturing any one of the games. EIl Centro increased her lead by the results of the latest games. Holt vile played here Saturday and in a listless contest in which errors f1gur- ed prominently lost to the leaders to }. At Holtville, Sunday El Cen tro won easily 16 to B.
 In the meantime Imperial was hay ing a hard time with Brawley. Sat urdays game required eleven innings, and Tonnasson's effective pitching won the game for Brawley 2 to 1. Sundays game was just as close and Imperial was lucky to get away with it by the score of to 4.
 The deciding games will undoubted- ly draw big crowds. Saturdays game will be played in El Centro, and Scott and Willis will probably be the op- posing pitchers. In Sundays game Jones will pitch for Imperial, and either Stovall or Heister for Fl Cen tro.

The price of oil in Los Angeles this year is above fifty cents a gallon, however, the profits from ton of seed MT. Wilhite asked the growers whether they wanted a company to come in and take the profits or preferred to divide them among the farmers of the valley.
 MT. Tout wanted to know if the Calexico association could come into the company as body and that started discussion of the advisability of organizing local associations to be represented in a central body by directors or delegates. Ira Aten thought each locality should own it's gin and take care of it's own crop. The proposed company should be linn ited to the oil business The two never were combined in the South and therefore could not be combined. MT. Aten never, had heard of such a thing as a company to run gins and oil mills. It was too big a proposi- tion to be handled that way.
 MT. Loftus said he had the highest respect for the cotton growers of the South, but possibly the people of Inn perial Valley could show them a few things about business organization.
 l.. F. Farnsworth, MT. Srack and others were in favor of cutting out the locals, simplifying the business and organizing one company for the whole valley. George Carter said the purpose of the company was to con- solidate interests, minimize expense and increase efficiency, in order that the growers should get the best prices for their crops and by-products. The meeting decided by rising vote to adopt the plan as originally outlined, only MT. Aten and few others re- maining seated.
 A committee representing the grow CTS of all parts of the valley was ap- pointed to draft a plan of organIza- tion and report at the meeting on February 16.
 MT. Loftus announced that $500, ,OOO would be available for advances to growers this years Loans up to ten dollars an acre would be made at ten per cent, the money to be ad- vanced when a good stand of cotton should show above the ground. Ap- plications for loans should be made through the Cotton Growers Associa- tion as soon as the farmers knew how much cotton they intended to plant. The association would take care of the cotton pledged as security for the loans.
