Nav Be Wanted In Atl anita For
Murder.

Thomas Woods, colored, alias Harry
Matthews. alias Harry Stewart, was
arrested and landed in jail Monday
night by Patrolman Fred Link, on a.
charge of robbery, and according to in
formation may be fugitive from
Atlanta, Ca, wanted in that city for
murder.
The arrest of Woods came about
after a week of clever work on the
part of Patrolman Link, who has been
on the close lookout for a number of
thieves that have keen opel ating in
this city. Woods, it is believed, is at
the head of ar organized banc that
have centered their operations on the
groceries and other stores in Paris.
and have succeeded in making away
with large amount of goods.
A few weeks ago the News publish
ed an account of very bold and sue
cessful scheme on the part of the
negroes in tha theft of goods from
various grocery stores and when the
matter was reported to the pulice
Patrolman Link went to work on the
case Sunday night he met Woods on
the street and on being unable to give
satisfactory account of where he had
been during the night was told by the
officer to go to his home. This move
of the officer was for the purpose of
getting an idea of where the negro
was staying.
Woods succeeded in getting away
but on Monday night Patrolman Link
came across him again, ana on this Oc-
casion he was carrying bundle. Link
| followed him to the restaurant of
| Rachel Jefferson on Eighth street,
where he arrested the negro who was
making an effort to dispose of the
package. which contained side Of
bacon. to the neg gress.
Woods was employed with c0nstruc-
tion company here and a companion
has given the information to the
officers that the negro is wanted in
| Atlanta, Ca. for murder. Woods ad-
mitted to the officers that he came here
from Atlanta. The local department
communicated with the police depart
ment of that city, and reply is eX-
pected at any time. 1t is said a big
reward is offered for the capture OF
the Atlanta murderer. and in case
Woods should be the man wanted by
the Atlanta police, this reward will &c
to patrolman Link.
Will Smith, negro, who it is sale
has been associated with Woods and
others in their operations in Paris was
arrested Wednesday night by Patrol
men Link and McKenney and locket
up. 1t is expected the remainder O.
the organized band will be run il

rest will have the effect of breaking

was fully equal to the task. He ap-
peared in the role Of Elijah and scored
one of the hits of the evening. He
sang in that same character last sea-

ity to put all the dramatic ferver into

MRS. MATyTHEY SCORES SUCCESS.
The alto solos were beautifully sung
by Mrs. Hilda NJ. Matthey, of Daven-
port. She has a very sympathetic and
pleasing voice and sings with much ex-
preston and feeling. Elijah. Get

Handel oratorio society gave beau
tiful rendition of Mendelssohn's Eli
jah at its annual May festival concert
at Augostana college last night. The
singing Of the chorus was exception
ally good, the singers never appearing
10 better advantage, and the work OF
the soloists was also strong. Marion
Green, as Elijah, again gave evidence
that he is one Of the greatest inter
preters Of that part.
A hundred voices or more compos-
ed the chorus and their work last night
reflected credit upon Mrs. Edla Lund,
who has diligently drilled them for
this occasion since last January. All
the choruses were well rendered and
the voices of the Handel singers
blended nicely. The attack and phras.
ing were especially well done-marks
of good chorus work.
In the recitative between the Choir.
us, Elijah and Ahab. the Handel sing
ers appeared to good advantage. Their
best chorus was, however, BE Not
Afraid, Saith God, the Lord" The
manner in which they rendered these
powerful lines was inspiring and i'm
pressive. "He, Watching over Israel
Slumbers Not" was another chorus in
which the Oratorio singers displayed
their skill in Interpretation.

farmers learn what to plant,
how to plant, and how to cult

money than farmers in the more

In the watershed Of the Prairie

pumps is prac;iced with great
success. Notable examples are
found of this around Hereford.
in Deaf Smith county, and
around Plainview and Hale I.
Center in Hale county. In these /
districts, large areas are farmed
by irrigation. Alfalfa has be-
come profitable by this irriga-
ton. and the production of other
crops increased. Around Here (

work, irrigating from 80 to 100
acres, severally. Around Plain

forty pumps are lifting water in

Friona, in Palmer county, on the
Santa Fe the Capitol Freehold,

has sunk a well more than 40C

for irrigation. The water is lift
ed from any depth by windmill
in quantities sufficient for the

ties for irrigation.
Crops are grown by the natur-
al rainfall, and, lately, by artifi-
cial irrigation. For the last six
years, the annual rainfall has
been greater than twenty inches.
In some localities this record
runs further back. For exam
pie, the annual precipitation at
Amarillo for 81 years has been
2l.66 inckes; at Claude for seven
years. 20.53: at Hereford for
seven years, 2.4s; at Mt. Blanco

Plainview for eight years 20.09;
at Tulia for twelve years, 23.54.
OF course, in the production Of
crops by the natural rainfall, the
must be conserved in
the ground and scientific soil
culture practiced. Cooperating
with the farmers, the Santa Fe
has employed H. NJ. Bainer,
formerly of the Colorado College
Of Agriculture. whose duty is to
study the soil and its most prof
table products. to impart this
knowledge to the farmers, and
to work with them in the cult
walton of small demonstration
tracts. To plant these little
fields the Santa Fe furnishes the
seed; even the plows sometimes.
Mr.. Bainer only stipulates that
the farmers shall pillow, plant
and cultivate under his direction.
