TICKCONTROL

i lNN NOl\ i NOA
Convincing Proofs Are Now Given
to Show That the Tick is Re-
sponsible for Mans Infection
With the Rocky Mountain Spot
ted Fever.
4 The Rocky Mountain spotted
fever is responsible for about a
4 dozen deaths annually in Montana
and. because the source Of the in
4 lection has been looked upon as a
mystery, much alarm has been felt.
] AT the same time there is reason to
fear that the disease may spread.
! In mider form it is known to oc-
A Cur III other states.
M The establishment Of connec-
Ektion between this disease and the
Ecommon tick Of the Northwest
plaCed a new Importance upon the
&study Of the tick In the light Of
what is now known regarding its
responsibility, it is apparent that
the tick is the connecting link be-
tween man and the unknown ulti-
mate source of the disease. and
! hence it is most desirablc- to elimi-
nate the tick.
The responsibility Of the tick i'll
mans infection with the Rocky
Mountain spotted fever IN the Bit
ter Root Valley was suspected by
residents in the valley before
scientists expressed such an
opinion. Nurses and attend
ants had found ticks and
tick bites on the bodies of the
patients and connected their
presence with the act Of injecting
the patient.
The opinion that the tick is the
means Of mans infection first at

1904 Drs. Wilson and ChoWnine
published the results of their in

summers of 1902 and 1903. Thest
investigators presented no expert
mental evidence, stating only tht
results of observations which
seemed to give credibility to thu
tick transmission theory. They
were the first to publish this theor,
and based their opinions ,on th'
facts (a) that the disease occurs IL
man only during the season of tn

Burke, the local real estate man, "for the public to invest in homes or property for investment The many improve ments that are being made in the city, the building of the new hotel the new Masonic Temple, the probable build- ing of the freo bridge, the installation of natural gas, the reconstruction of the Cotton Belt machine and boiler shop, which when completed will be larger and employ more men. All this activity will tend to bring both skilled and unsklled labor to Pine Bluff and these people have to have homes. Pine Bluff has never been boomed. The natural surroundings

TANNED TO TAKE MRS. SNEAD AWAY FROM HER HUSBAND TO
 REUNITE HER WITH BOYCE.
WAS RESULT
Captain Boyce, Who Was Killed By Snead, Was Prime Mover in Con. spiracy-Snead We'll Guarded.

Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. 23.-That the Boyce family was at the bottom of conspiracy to take Mrs. Lena Snead away from her husband and IT, unite her with Albert G. Boyce Jc., with whom she eloped to St. Louis, New York and Winnipeg, was claimed by the defense today, in the case of J. B. Snead, the millionaire banker, charged with murdering A. G. Boyce, ST., here on January 13. Snead is su- ing for a writ of habeas corpus and bail, and the hearing is' almost as lm- portant as a trial for murder would be.
 The testimony was concluded today and arguments will begin tomorrow i'll Judge Simmons district court. Thomas s. Snyder, father of Mrs. Snead, was on the stand most of the day, and declared that Captain Boyce, who was owner of immense ranches, was the prime mover in this conspir- acy and that this preyed upon the mind of Snead until he was driven to commit murder. The plot, according toy Snyder, was formed after Snead had returned to Fort Worth with his wife and after her sensational elope-
 ment with Young Boyce. Snead spent $25,0O0 pursuing the pair They were arrested in Winnipeg. Snyder's testimony was all in favor of his son. in9law.
 He declared that Snead was good husband and that his daughter was not sane. Snead, who is 73 yers old, said that he and Captain Boyce were
 hoyhood frk nds in Georgetown nd
 that they had always been on friendly terms. He described the early strug- gles of the then poor families and the later success and wealth and told ot 5 the former great friendship of the Boyces and Sneads in Amarillo. . Judge Simmons today announced that all persons entering the court room tomorrow, must come prepared to be searched for arms. The court.
 in view of the rumors, and the pres < ence of three Boyce brothers and their 9 numerous Western Texas friends, will atake no risk. When Snead Is brought sto t1A court room he is taken through -rn Underground tunnel, connecting the jail and the court house, that the sprisoner may not take any risk of
 meeting the Boyces. Several guards accompany him when he leaves and ssreturns to the Jail.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WRECK NARROWS DOWN TO FLAGMAN,
 CONDUCTOR AND ENGINEER.
\ PITIFUL WITNESS
Engineer Says Harahan Was His Best Friend-Saw Headlight of
 Approaching Train.

Champaign, H., Jan. 23.-H esponsi- bility for the Illinois Central wreck at Kinmundy narrowed dowK today to three men, as the result of search ing inquiry conducted by Vice Presi- dent w. l.. Park, of the railroad.
 Henry J. Becker, flagmap, and John Brainard, conductor of train No g, to which was attached the Harahan pri- vate car, and Robert Stewart. engi- neer of train No. 3 which crashed in- to train No. 25, may be blamed The be charged with failing to take neces- sary precautions to warn the ap- preaching train of their proXmity, while Engineer Stewart may be cen sured for not having his train under control
 Tonight the board of inquiry en- panelled by Vice President Park left for Kinmundy, where at midnight, the passage of the same trains will ba noted under conditions which dupli- cate as nearly as possible those of Sunday night
 The party will return to Champaign in the morning.
 The theory that the airbrakes on train No. failed to work properly seemed to be thoroughly disposed of in t1I {ou ,,@~
 There was dramatic scene at the | inquiry when Engineer Stewart tes- tified. Bruised and battered, he ex- cited the sympathy of all. His head was bound in bandages an d his face was mass of bruises. Evidently scenting an adverse finding, the engi- neer asked permission to make this statement, which was granted:
 For twenty-five years I have been a railroader, and no man has ever been hurt by my negligence. One of my best friends died in a wreck, ). T. Harahan. No matter what the ver- dict is, I want to say that I have told l lHC lluull lHdL COulu HOL see the tall lights of the other train. I want to be excused as l have been unable to eat anything today, and I am weak"
 You have all our sympathy" said MT. Park as' the engineer left the stand
 The evidence developed the fact that the two trains were running on the narrowest margin allowed, ten min- utes. Flagman Becker had been or dered by his conductor to lookout for No. B." As he alighted from Kinmun- dy he saw the headlight of the ap- preaching train and ran to flag it.
 Three inspectors of the Interstate Commerce Commission took notes and asked questions. They were apparent ly satisfied that the investigation was sufficiently searching. The conductors of the two trains disagreed as to the time of the accident.

MICHEL LEADS IN LOUISIANA PRIMARY CARRIES NEW ORLEANS BY TWO TO ONE BUT COUNTY VOTE
 IN DOUBT.
RETURNS INCOMPLETE
GOy. Sanders and Congressman Ransdell Leading in Senator.
 ial Contests.

New Orleans, La., Jan. 23.-The most exciting primary election ;n this state since the famous lottery fight of twenty years ago, took place today, but owing to the length of the ticket, every state officer from governor to constable being voted for, besides two United States senators, definite returns will be late. It is question whether John T. Michel, of New Orleans has se- cured a majority that will give him the nomination on the first primary. While he is running behind the other candidates in the country precincts, his overwhelming majority in New Orleans, beating both the other can didates more than two to one, will go a long way towards giving him plurality, if not a majority, in the first primary.
 Tn the senatorial contest, the 1915 term, now filled by Thornton, looks like it will go to Governor Saunders in the first primary He is running we'll in the country, ahead of both o1 the other candidates, while he is assured of a good majority in New Orleans.
 For the 1913 term now filled by Senator Murphy J, Foster, country returns indicate that Congressm Ransdell is giving him hard race running ahead of him in many pre- cincts. Foster also got a good 1na- jority in New Orleans but Ransdell. large country vote will make it very close.

QUARANTINE IN CITIES OF LONE STAR STATE WILL BAR BIG
 LEAGUE TEAMS.
PRESENTS PROBLEM
To Managers For Grounds To Do Their Spring Training-All
 Good Locations Taken.

New York. Jan. 23.-Of greater concern to major league baseball than the various proposed third major league' outlaw associations are the health conditions of the state of Texas. An epidemic of meningitis is sweeping the Lone Star State and there is every prob ability that all baseball clubs will be barred from training in that sec tion bythe Board of Health, Many of the principal cities of the South western state have already been quarantined. The malady is stead fly making headway against the best efforts of the health authorities
 Health conditions in Texas di- rectly affect the champions of both the National and American leagues so far as spring training is con- cerned.
 The Giants, title holders of the National League, have permanent training camp established at Marlin springs. While this town is free from the disease number of neigh boring cities within 150 miles have been stricken. Both Fort Worth and Dallas are plague centers and Me. Graw depends upon these centers for preliminary practice. In the same manner the worlds champion Ath- letics, conquerors of the Giants, may be affected. Connie Mack had made all arrangements to take his club 10 San Antonio, the old stamping grounds of the Tigers, for their first practice. San Antonio, middle spring town like Marlin, is free from the disease just now.
 The Chicago White Sox are more unfortunate than either Giants or Athletics Comiskey, manager or the White Sox, has planned to work out at Corsicana, which is said to be right in the center of the ep1- demic.
 The best locations have already been selected. All the best cities of the South have been taken. only the field on the Pacific coast is open, and that as many major league clubs have already discovered. re- quires such heart tbreaking jumps as to make the trip anything but agree able. Raising the bafs in Texas might drive one or mora of the three major league clubs to the Bermudas.
