SAW THE BATTLE.
j. r. Austin Tells of Fight With the
Nebraska Outlaws.

J. E. Austin, an insurance man of
Omaha. who is in Topeka today. tells
of witnessing the battle between the
ESCAPED convicts from the Nebraska
state penitentiary and the posse from
neighborfng towns near Omaha last
Monday morning. Austin together with
a number of onlookers followed the
posse and convicts through the hills
and watched the fight that resulted in
the death of two of the convicts and
Roy Blunt, the farmer. who was driv-
ing their wagon under the point of a
gun.
Austin stated that the persons who
saw the fight were Disguised with the
action of the posse in killing the in
nocent farmer. This farmer was driv-
ing lumber wagon under the orders
of the convicts. They lay in the bed
bers of the posse as the farmer drove
his horses through the hills. He says
that no attempt was made to lynch
the sheriff and it was impossible to
tell who killed the farmer.
The pursuers were excited and did
not stop to think that it would have
been impossible for the convicts to
escape. They shot wildly and the
farmer fell from his seat a dead man.
They could have shot the horses and
brought the party to a standstill or
they could have surrounded the wagon
and kept them at bay. The posse had
long range Winchesters while the con-
victs had nothing but revolvers and
shotguns.
The convicts spent the first night
in Lincoln They were nearly lost in
a snowstorm when a dairyman's wife

saw them in the outskirts of the city.
She sent her small boy out to tell them
to come to the house. They came and
kept the dairyman and his wife and
family prisoners until morning when
they all piled in a milk wagon and
started through the city.
I'm one part of Lincoln a policeman
helped the horses through a snow
drift-and the convicts were inside the
wagon
Austin stated that at no time during
the real chase was there any danger
of the convicts escaping. He believes
that knowing this it was mistake for
the posse to kill the farmer who drove
the lumber wagon in the hills.

Tuesday and submitted the general
plan Of operation The chairman Of
the board has issued a call for meet
ing 5f the Wholesale and retail deal
ers for the purpose Of laying the plan
before them for their consideration.
On Monday Of last week the Farm

after a two days discussion and in
yestigation
Governors from eight of the cotton
growing states, assembled at Atlanta

their endorsement
Briefly outlined the plan is as fol

fices in Macon Ga, State offices will
be established IN each Of the cotton
ton growing states, and county offices
and l0cal boards Of directors will be
maintained in each cotton growing
county Farmers who desire to hold
their cotton for Is cents, can deposit
it with the company and at the same
time receive script calling for II cents

the local bankers in the cotton trading
points, and the bankers in turn attach
the script to a draft and draw upon
the state office for the amount, thus
insuring a ready price Of II cents per

amount Of cotton to make the demand
exceed the supply.

the company, there will be no further
expense attached that might be
charged to the farmers account. a
plan has also been worked out where

additional advancement Of $40 per
