BAD TANGLE OVER A COW
Five Young Men, Accused of Stealing ths Animal. Bound Over to
 Graud Jury.

B. V. Garden, Grady Garden, Jake Loti, John Lott and Tom Wilcox were last Friday bound over by Squires Purvis and Young at Silver Center, to await the action of the next grand jury on a charge of robbery. B. V. Gardens bond was fixed at $750. The rest of the men were released on bonds of S250 each.
 On February 26, after there had been some dispute over the owner ship of a certain COW, the five above mentioned men, it is said, took their guns and went to J. M. .Wornock s place and took the COW away. A suit was brought in Justice M. B. Fried's court at Big Fork for the recovery of the COW and for dam ages. This case was tried last Sat urday and resulted in the return of the COW to Wornock with $25 for damages. The five men then were charged with robbery. They asked for a change of venue and the case was put before Justices Purvis and Young.
 Wright Prickett was attorney for the defendants and H. A. King for the state.

than te do anything else, and iu this South and Southwest terri- tory, which are the best in the Unite1 States for farming, it takes more brains than elsewhere.
 Upon being questioned as to the general management of the school, Mir. Jackson stated;
 For the manager of this school, we expect to find a man, and 1 believe we will find him, who will pull off his coat and roll up his sleeves, and will go with his boys into the fields, and will teach and train thcm. We do not want a man who can stand around in a high collar, and use big words; such a man as that will never be voted for by r. B. Jackson, and l do not think he will receive the votes of the other members. We expect that eacb boy attending the school shall spend two hours each day in actual work upon the field, aud this will give them tue actual experience of farming.
 There IS another feature; a boy can come to this school, if he is a poor boy, with BPS in his pocket and he can work his way through. You see the boys each receive 10 cents an hour for the work they do in the fields, and then during the summer months, or at vacation time, the boys can have the privilege of working all day and receiving this 10 cents per hour and apply what they earn on their next years school ing. The school will have courses of two years and courses of four years length. Each boy must, regardless of all else, do two hours work in the field each working day.
 These summaries are but skele- tons of these talks, and it is hoped that at a later day ar engagements can be made to give the people of thls locality an op. portunity to hear these gentle. men talk on the subjects nearest their hearts.

TWO CANDIDATES SPEAK
Jeff I. Cswling and Earl W. Hodges at
 Court House Friday Night.

Jeff T. Bowling, candidate for judge of this circuit, spoke in Mena at the court house Friday night to large and attentive audience. He asked for support chiefly on two propositions; first that he has the ability and is the character of a man to render good and proper service and, second, that it is against the principles of the Democratic party and against the interests of good public ser vice to continue any man in office more than two terms of four years each, pointing to numerous and important instances, both in Ar. kansas and elsewhere, where the violation of this principle, estab- lished by George Washington, had lead to public loss and private injury.
 Following Mir. Cowling's talk, Earl w. Hodges, candidate foi secretaryof state, was introduced, and the way he rattled of his fam fly and political history and his reasons for wanting the office kept the house in an uproar frsG start to finish--in all about five minutes. Regardless of how his hearers vote, they enjoyed that sort of campaign speech.

ELECTRIC BOLT FIRED HOUSE
Residence of W. A. Smithsrman Had
 a Close Call Saturday Morning.

Saturday about 10 o'clock, just before the heavy rain began. there was a flash and a crash that indicated that a bolt of lightning had descended to earth somewhere near. A little later it was learned that the home of w. A. Smitherman, 1907 Carter avenue, had suffered from the stroke, the bolt entering the house near the chimney.
 The chimney itself was torn to pieces and fire started in the blanke's on bed in that room. In the adjoining room fire was started at four different places and iu the second roori back an- other blaze sprang up, making six different fires in all. The large mirror in dresser and screen door in the third room back from where lightning entered the house, were broken all to pieces.
 Mrs. Smitherman was alone at the time. She was knocked dswn, but escaped serious injury, and alone and uuaided extin- guished the fires.

SHOT A HORSE THIEF.
A. ]. Davis Had a Gun Fight With a Man Who Stole Horses Near
 Grannis.

While attempting to capture a horse thief Friday, A. J. Davis seriously wounded a man who stole horse, mare and colt from a farmer named Wood, who lives west of Grannis.
 The horses were stolen several days ago and Martin Wood. a brother of the owner of the hors- es. has been on the thief's tra.l since then. When he got on a tel ephone line leading into Womble he phoned to A. J. Davis aud told him to watch out for him.
 Davis located the man and horses this side of Womble and started after them. When they met there was an exchange of bullets which ended in the death of the mare and the wounding of the thiet, who received a bad wound in his head. The wound ed man was still alive this morn ing.
 Deputy Sheriff Hungate of Grannis was here Saturday on his way to get him. When he got here he learned that the man was going to be taken to Murfrees- boro where it is thought that a reward has been offered for him for committing some other crime, so he returned to Grannis. Judge J. s. Steel was in Womble Fri day and said that he had though the man who was captured wa: the one wanted at Murfreesboro

In announcing myself as q can- didate for State Railroad Com- missioner from tn southern district, I want to say that l have given the matter my most earn est thought; yes, 1 will admit | have gwen it my most prayerfui consideration.
 1t Is momentous question when a man puts himself forward fora public office and asks hls fellew men to pnt him in charge of their affars. In no case should he do so for personal reason other than ambiation to serve his fol
 low man in capacity in which he is undoubtedly qualified to serve. The question of running for office for a job has worn itself thread bare and the time has come when all men wishing to hold public of- flee must show the people, In whose keeping these offices rest that they are competent and qual- flied to properly fill them. Ibe human race is today suffering from the botched handiwork of selfish place hunters whose only excuse for asking for office was that they needed the job. In ask ing you for this important place l know l have risen above that proposition. l am not hunting a job. | have eff you will please pardon the reference) an income which tine salary of a Commissioner does not equal have q home, the sweet compan. ionship of winch the office of Commissioner willdeprive me for many days and weeks, q sacrifice impossible of recompense in dol lars and cents. 1 do not wish to be Commissioner for the sake of cashing salary voucher each ponth, 1 can get that at home but feel that the great issue of THE PEOPLE CONTROLL ING THE RAILRODS 0 E THIS CONTRY Is a paramount question and is going to be tho greatest of all questions for some time. To this question 1 have been giving my greatest energies and have been studying the prob

This is great ques tion and 1t Is up to the people t put on our Commission men wh' are are competent and consistent men who can do the ddty whicl the people elect them for, with

BUTTE MERGER BRINGS
LOWER COPPER COST

Reduction Of cost Of copper produce
ton TO less than nine cents a pound
has been effected during the three
months that the Amalgamated prop
critics have been in operation as the
Anaconda Copper Mining company, ac-
cOrding to adYices from Boston. Such
low cost cannot be maintained. how
ever, Ii is said, under Is per cent cur
tailment of production. 1t is expected
that the cOmpany's policy as to future
production will be made known during
the visit of John d. Ryan TO Butte
Mr.. Ryan is expected TO arrive in Butte

possibly several weeks occupied in
checking up operations in that camp

CHINO ORE BODIES
ARE HIGHER GRADE
July Developments Place 1t in
New Class as a Por-
phyry Mine.

That there is substantial cause for
the recent rapid advance IN market
price Of the stock of the Chino Copper
company was admitted yesterday by
General Manager d. c. Jackling upon
his arrival home from a trip Of in
spectton 10 the properties OF that COM
pany and OF Ray Consolidated Here
tofOre, Mr.. lacking has been inclined
10 minimize the Importance OF occur
rences Of high grade ore in the Chino
deposits, but results OF the last month 5
developments have been so remarkable
that he is ready 10 cOncede that II is d
feature which must be reckoned with.
In the extensions of Chino's ore
bodies in which drilling operations
have been prosecuted since the first
OF July-in what is known as the
Hearst sectiOn-the high grade ore has
been more in evidence than ever be-
fore. The net result was that the A.
100000 tons or new ore which We're
added during July to the company 5
demonstrated tonnage showed average
copper contents OF nearly 3 per cent
the exact figures being 1881 per cent.
And this has a marked effect upon the
average grade of all of the ore in the
property, raising the average of the 2S,
100000 tons developed 10 2.63 per cent
copper.
This is a showing which places Chino
in an entirely new class, as a porphyry
producer, and its Importance is en-
HANGED by the fact that only a small
proportion OF the cOmpany's mineralized
territory has been developed
To Use Steam ShOVeIs.
And yet another important factor
affecting ChinO's possibilities as a low
cost producer is the demonstration that
its ore bodies, as far as developed, are
virtually all susceptible 20 mining with
steam shOvels. IT having been found
that the Gaping in the main is only
from forty feet TO sixty feet thick. The
big working shaft has accordingly been
abandoned and steam shovel work is to
be commenced within the next few
days. Two steam shOVels are already
on the ground and two more Will be
added before the end of the year.
Grading for the cOmpany's new con-
centrating mill is being pushed as rap
idly as possible and the laying Of
foundations will soon be under way.
At Ray Consolidated Mr.. Jackling
found development and construction
work progressing as usual Steel is IN
place for the concentrating plant and II
is expected that the main building will
be complete by September 10, while the
power house viii be ready early in Oc-
tOber. Some OF the machinery Is al
ready on the ground. Underground
work IS being prosecuted at the rate of
about one mile OF new workings
a month, and development of the ore
bodies is checking up results of drilling
operations as TO their size and values.

dertone With Steady

While the mining stock market was
yesterday devoid Of features of i'm
pOrtanee, buying was of good char
aeter and no real element of weak
ness was displayed. Columbus started
at SIC, good gain over the price of

It's own. pending the official announce
ment OF details or the company's ii
nancing IlaEs.
The market on the whole displays
an undercurrent Of strength. The
gains made recently by such Old-time

as is the quiet absorption Of Prince

A feature of Importance, indicating

Report.

That. in the event that F. Augustus
Heinzes trip to Europe has been I'M
successful in the matter OF raising
money to finance Ohio Copper for COM
pleting it's mill, Colin Mcintosh may
resign from the management of the
company to take up other work in
which he has large personal interests,
is a report printed by an eastern finan-
ciaI journal Mr.. Mcintosh, who &C
eOmpanied Mr.. Heinze TO Europe. ar
rived in New York about a week ago,
and Mr.. Heinze was due to arrive yes
terday. Thus far nothing regarding
the progress of financing arrangements
has been given out.
Ohio COppers earnings for July, ac-
cording TO official estimate, will be
much as $4,000. That revenue is de-
rived from treating between 1900 and
1900 tons of ore daily, with One-half
OF the mill in commission.
Mining, milling and transportation of
the concentrates from the mill at Lark
TO the Garfield smelling plant, a dis
tance OF % miles, costs not TO exceed
81 ton. The average grade of the ore
being mined and cOmmercialiZed is IA
per cent copper. The engagement fig
ures that il can make a net profit of
about 81 a ton on crude ore treated
under existing conditions.
The concentrating plant at the mouth
of the MascOtte tunnel is doing excel
lent work. A high average saving of
all the values is being made and with
the mill completed, there appears 10 be
no question that the company could
discharge it's indie btedness within a
