and T. D. Armstrong slipped into
CoffeyVille shortly after noon and be

As a result the city Is now minus
O quantity Of liquor 1t was con

places. A quiet tip had got out, but
It was not accepted as authentic and
some Of the men for whom warrants
had been issued were caught witf
the goods. The attorney general hat
warrants against 81 places, calling
for the arrest of 80 persons.
Three rooming houses, four poo
halls, two blind pigs" and the Owls
lodgeroom were searched. In nearly
every place liquor was found. The
largest haul was made at the Owls
club. 1t required two interurban carr

liquor and watched where 1t wa
stored and then reported so that
could be seized; and will TESTIFY whei

liquor came from.

MOUND NAY HIDE
FORGOTTEN CRIME
Kansas Farmer UncOvers Bones OF
Several Human Beings.
NOT LIKE INDIAN SKELETONS
Skulls Had Small Holes, Apparently
Made by Charge From Shotgun
--one Of Unusual
Size.
NOT LIKE INDIAN SKELETONS

Junction City, Kan, Nov. Am
ethnologic mystery has Just been un-
covered on the farm Of John holland,
several miles northwest Of this city.
In the center Of Mr.. hollands wheat
iield was q mound which he decided
to level and while doing so he un-
covered several human skulls and q
large number Of bones and teeth.
One Of the skulls and one OF the
thigh bones, apparently from the same
person, were Of unusual size, indicat-
ing that the person in life was Of
gigantic stature. The big skull is
pierced through the back with several
small, round holes, apparently such
holes as would be made by small shot
from shotgun.
Persons who have examined the
skulls say they do mot resemble the
ordinary Indian skull and the absence
of Indian weapons and utensils would
seem to indicate that the bones were
not LlOBO Oh IuuIhuSs
The mound was about 80 feet In
diameter and about i've feet high.
1t was covered with sod, with on &C.
casional stone protruding. When Mr..
Nolan started to level 1t he found
that about eight inches underneath
the sod was a rock wan. He kept
digging the dirt away, following the
stones, until he had unearthsA about
half of the wall. Then he started at
the top, which was slightly concave'
and gave evidence of once having
been arched over. Digging down IN
the center, he came upon many well
preserved skulls and bones, in piles
at different places within the artificial
cave. The roof had apparently been
cayed in for many years, and only
those bones that we're protected by
the fallen stones remained.
The finding of these bones interest
ed Mr.. Nolan, who continued his ex'
cayations until he had completely un
covered the artificial mound or cairn
1t is circular in shape and Is aDou'
30 feet in diameter. The walls, which
are ten feet thick and four feet II
height, are constructed Of surface
stone which might have been dragged
from hill nearby. The stone was
laid lust as 1t came from the grounC
and no hammer was used in shaping
or dressing it. The lower layers o.
courses are of large stones, four Of
five feet across and from six incne'
to foot in thickness. The stone wal
| not querried, and apparently had beer
| picked off the surface Of the man.
| lodges in that part of the country
Within these 1O-foot walls was
circular chamber, about ten feet Il
diameter, and 1t was in this that tn
bones were found. A passage thre'
feet wide was found to lead into tn
room from the outside. The room
must have been four feet high befor
the roof had caved in.

TO FIX DATES FOR
STATE PRIMARY
Executive Committee VIII Meet In
Jackson About June
18th.

Special to The Nesos.
Jackson, Miss, May 2s.-Hon. G. L.
Lomax, of Greenwood, chairman of
the Democratic state executive COM
mittee, was in the city this morning
enroute to Clinton to attend the COM
! mencement exercises at his alma
mater, Mississippi College While
here he held a short conference with
Hon. J. B. Stirling, secretary of the
committee, but no arrangement was
made for issuance of call for meeting
of the body to fix dates for the state
primaries.
1t is expected, however, that the
committee will hold it's session about
the middle of June. The committee
will have several vacancies in it's
membership to fill, caused by the re-
moval of present members to other
districts.
| There will be no political develop
ments of consequence at the meeting
when held, as the duties of the commit
tee are plainly defined by statute
The first primary cannot be held ear.
lier than Aug. list, or later than Aug.
25th, and the second primary must be
held three weeks after the first event.
AS the law plainly defines the quail
fications for suffrage in primary cleo
tions as well as general elections, the
committee will have only to follow
the statutes in issuing instructions to
county and district committees.

GO TO GULFPORT
Six Hundred jolly Travellers Will
Assemble In Gulf City Friday
And Saturday.

Gulfport, Miss, May 29.-The prin-
cipal convention to be held in Missis-
sippi during the current week will be
the annual meeting Of the Mississippi
Travellers at Gulfport, on Friday and
Saturday.
1t is expected that fully 600 knights
of the grip will attend the gathering.
The Mississippi Travellers now has
an active and aggressive membership
of 800, and, while all of the members
will not be able to attend the meeting,
those who can possibly forsake their
sample cases for the weekend will
do so.
The convention will be presided
over by President A. G. Benners, of
Meridian, familiarly known as "Big
Ben" and, much to the regret of the
membership, President Benners will
probably retire as head of the organ
ization at the close of the convention
owing to the fact that he has quit the
road and is now engaged in business
in Birmingham.
Secretary James S. Cooper, of Jack
son, is looking after arrangements fol
the special train that will carry the
Jackson delegation to Gulfport early
Friday morning. There will be nearly
