ma can do well with a twine and
rope factory in connection with the
state penitentiary, Warden r. W.
Dick. WHO was here from McAlester,
believes, and arrangements are TO

where such plants ere in operation.
Last year Kansas made $4,000 and
Minnesota $174,OOO, net, the warden
says. and he does not see why OK

REQUIRE a cash outlay Of $4,000 to
to install plant, and in addition 10

county commissioners sold to the
highest bidder the $46,O0OOO worth
of funding bonds, and c. E. Honnold
was successful in purchasing them,
paying a premium of 1890, and ac-
crued interest amounting to $226.S0,
making total of $50, 1860 This is
said to be the best sale ever made
of Carter county bonds.
Several representatives of bond
houses were present and submitted
bids, but bidding finally narrowed
dow between Honnold and A. ]. Nc
Mahon, his high bid being 1896.
Other bidders were r. J. Edwards,
Sutherland & Co., G. l. Gilbert and

automobile is a carriage within the
meaning Of the Oklahoma exemption

G. w. TREADAwAY KILLS SHERIFF
OF DE SOTO COUNTY.
Father and Two Sons Fire on Deputies.
Resisted Officers When Attempt to
Attach Cotton Was Made.

Olive Branch.-After inviting Sheriff
W. P. Harris of DeSoto county into his
house, G. w. Treadaway, an aged and
well-to-do farmer of this community,
placed his shotgun to the officers breast
and fired. Harris fell back, dead, and
as he did so Treadaway and his two sons
opened a murderous fire on the five dep
uties who were standing outside. A few
minutes later Treadaway was lying on
his doorstep, mortally wounded; one Of
his sons, Earl, was in the hands of the
officers, and the other, Murel, was being
pursued into Tate county by an angry
mob, while other deputies, themselves
slightly wounded, were taking the dead
sheriff to his home.
While the woods are being secured for
young Treadaway, a double force of Of
ficers and citizens is guarding the wound
ed man and his son from an angry mob,
which is threatening to lynch both pris-
oners.
The tragedy is the climax of an era
of bad feeling which has existed between
the Treadaways and all officers of the
law for the past four years. The direct
cause is judgment for 5000 against
q. w. Treadawy, on which the sheriff
attempted to take possession Of his cot
ton. The officers were driven away with
shotguns.
According to witnesses, Sheriff Harris
and five deputies went to Treadaway's
home with warrants for the arrest of
Treadaway and his sons, charging they
resisted the officers. Treadaway an
nounced his willingness to be arrested,
and asked the sheriff to come inside.
With his pistol returned to his belt, the
sheriff entered, and fell back Immediately
dead. Treadaway, standing in the open
door, opened fire on the waiting deputies,
who returned it. With his arm shielding
his face, Treadaway received dozen
shots in his arm and shoulder. The
bullet which finally brought him to the
ground was fred by w. NJ. King, a dep
uty, and entered the old mans left
breast near the heart. He was removed
to the county Jail, where physicians am
putsted the injured arm.
While the elder Treadaway was stand
ing on the steps and firing at the officers,
his sons were shooting through the win
dows. When the old man fell they es-
capped through the rear door of the house.
Only one deputy was stationed there.
Single-handed, he disarmed and captured
Earl Treadaway. Murel escaped into
the woods

COLLECTS $4,000
IN BACK TAXES
STATE REVENUE AGENT MAKES A
BIG HAUL IN CLAIBORNE.
AGENT GETS 20 PER CENT
Caught the Estate Of the Late ]. Bern
heimer for a Good Sum on Solvent
Credits That Had Not Been
on the Tax Books.

Jackson.--State Revenue Agent Writ
Adams has negotiated back tax settle
ment with the executors of the estate of
Jacob Bernheimer, millionaire merchant
of Port Gibson, who died about two
years ago, whereby the state and the
county of Claiborne receive a payment
aggregating 100000, less the revenue
agents commission of 20 per cent.
The assessment is on solvent credits
of the Bernheimer estate, which escaped
taxation from 1906 to 1911, inclusive,
and settlement was made by compro-
misc, on the basis OF $50, ,666.66 per year,
forming the total of S220,00o.
Negotiations were conducted with the
executors of the Bernheimer estate
through Messrs. j. McC. Martin and R.
B. Anderson, attorneys for the state reve-
nue. agent.
The delinquency was not discovered
until the celebrated contested will case
was recently given an airing in chan
cery, and the solvent credits held by
the estate came to light.

WILL GET HOSPITAL LOAN.
Majority of Legislators, 1t Is Believed,
Favor Proposition.

Jackson.-Gov Brewer is Informed
that members OF the legislature are re-
spondng fayorably to the letter OF ad-
vice and instruction sent them recently
by DR.. S. Fl. Mclean, surgeon in charge
of the jackson state charity hospital,
calling attention to the great amount
OF work and expense devolving upon that
institution, which has swamped the sup
port funds to such extent as to threaten
to seriously impair its usefulness for the
balance of this year.
The letter to the legislators stated
clearly and without equivocation the ac-
tual conditions prevailing how the hos
pital has been swamped with applica-
tions for admission, from the very day
of its opening, how the number of pa
tients received had exceeded by 20 per
cent or more the number estimated by
the legislature, and upon which the sup
port basis was figured out. Under the
circumstances it was imperative that
some steps must be taken to augment
the support fund, and the only way to de
this legally and constituionally was "a
60 direct to the members OF the leEis
lature and seek authority to effect a loan
of 81 900 to run the hospital until the

SHERIFF SHOT TO DEATH WORK OF TOMATO CLUBS
MISS SUSIE v. POWELL COMPLIES
INTERESTING REPORT.
Miss Powell Will Attend Series Of Edu.
cational Meetings-Wil Return
About First of December.

Miss Susie V. Powell, supervisor OF
school improvement for Mississippi, lett
for several points in the state to meet
pupils and teachers in Winston, Carroll
and Montgomery counties, and discuss
with them matters of vital interest in
education work.
While away Miss Powell will discuss
the work of the girls tomato clubs, and
read a report showing what the girls OF
the state, who have 30 far reported to
her, have accomplished. 1t is of great
interest, this report that gives facts and
figures illustrating what the girls who
have been industrious in spare hours
at home have been made to make in
the way of financial profits from can
ming tomatoes.
The canning club report for 1912, as
compiled by Miss Powell, is extremely
interesting. The girls are not allowed
to cultivate and can tomatoes from more
than one-tenth of an acre, and some Of
the results of their efforts show wonder
full accomplishments.
In Mississippi the girls put up their
tomatoes in two-pounds cans, or No. 2
cans as they are designated, and they
are standard size in this state. The
following report of Miss Powell refers
to the standard size cans, and is compiled
from reports sent direct to her. 1t is
understood that many girls engaged in
canning work did not send in data re-
garding what they had done.
