FORMER MEXICO MAN.
Accused by His Wife of Burning
His Own Property.

The Evening Post of Nevada,
Mo-, tells the story that Emory +.
Mccullough, formerly of Mexico,
Mo-, has been placed under arrest
in that city charged with arson.
Mccullough is accused of burning
his barn, two horses and 60 bales
of hay Saturday night, April /,
for the S4OO insurance. Mr.. Me
Cullough had several fires when
he resided in this city and in one
of them a brother was burned to
death.
Jas. Young, formerly of this
city, father-in-law of Mccullough.
telephoned the Nevada sheriff
Saturday night, stating that his
son-in-law intended burning the
barn for the insurance. so the
Post says, but the connections
were poor and the sheriff could
not understand the name.
A few minutes after midnight.
the alarm of fire came from the
Mccullough barn. Mrs. McCul-
lough could not be found at first
and it was feared she had lost her
life in the fire. Later she was
heard from at her fathers home
in Marshall, Mo.
1t is alleged Mccullough was
drunk Saturday night and that
Mrs. Mccullough had written her
husband had tried to force her to
set fire to the barn, but instead of
following his instructions wrote
her father who telephoned the
sheriff. She later telephoned the
sheriff where to find letters veri-
flying her statements and upon
investigation they were located.
When arraigned, Monday, Me
CullOugh waived his preliminary
hearing and was bound over to
the Circuit Court on $1,000 bond.
lie was committed to jail, having
failed to procure bond and the
case will come up in May. The
IighteSt penalty for arson is seven
years i'll prison.

Cotton manufacturers have been quiet
of production. This is something

spectacle has been witnessed of July
selling below August. Also rumor
has persistently asserted that the
bulls have accepted settlement on
a large block of July variously esti-
mated at $4,000 to $4,000 bales with
certain well-known spot interests.
