Cox was one of Huntngton's most

II cotton crop of the United States
will ne the greatest yield in the his
tory OF the country, there is specu-
laticn as to its total value. Should
the staple this year sell at the same
price it did in 1910, the value OF
the crop would be approximately ST.
900 500, ,GOO exceeding the record
breaking cotton crop value made last
year by more than $1S0,OGO,OOO.
Further. estimates Thursday from
the governments official figures Of
S9.1 per cent of 4 normal form OF

This would surpass the record cotton
production year of 1904 by more

those who would leave them unlocked
has caused many to be more carefll

are still leaving them unlocked. There

TO form the habit of keeping your
boy locked, for at the end Of this
quarter your box will be declared
vacant if it has been found unlock
ed many times during this month.
TIE postmaster is keeping a record
on you and will know at the end of
the month just how many times YOU
have left the box open, and will have
all the better of the argument when
the first of the month comes. This
order has come from the department
and the postmaster has no other
course to pursue.

Starr aud Davis, afraid of being as.
sassinatcd if they return to their
ranches near Porum, have purchased
ranch seventy-fiye miles west of
Phoenix, Ariz., and will there begin
life all over again. And a sigh of
relief goes up from the southern
part of the county and bordering
portions of Mcintosh and Haskell
counties, for the presence OF Davis
and STAR meant constant menace
Of bloodshed.
Starr and Davis were the central
figures in the most spectacular at
tempt ever made in Oklahoma to kill
or drive out two men from any com.
munity. Last May, following tragic
scenes in the community, thirty
masked and armed men, wearing
mother hubbard dresses and mount
ed on good horses, rode at headlong
speed up 10 the Pony Starr home,
in the outskirts of the town of Po-
rum, and commenced to fire on Starr
and Davis, who We're sitting on the
porch. This mob had organized at
the home of member of the anti
Davis faction for the express purpose
of getting" Starr and Davis. But
they did not get them. Instead, three
members of the mob were killed
outright by the superior marksman-
ship Of Starr of Davis, and half
dozen more We're wounded and car
ried from the scene by their com
panions of the mob, who fled head
long. 1t was at this fight that the
wife of Pony Starr proved herself
heroine. She loaded winchesters
while her husband and Davis shot
them. She got eight bullet holes
through her dress. but not scratch
of a wound. During the fight she
ran from the house to the barn amid
a rain Of bullets, saddled two horses
and led them out, and on these Starr
and Davis subsequently escaped.
While she was getting the horses
she had an encounter with one mem
Der of the mob, who fired four times
ct her with a siX-shooter and then
threw the weapon at her. She grab
bed II up and fired the two remain
ing shots at the fleeing man, and it
is said he was one of the dead when
the battle was over.
This was the eliminating tragedy
of the Davis-Alford feud.
