ACCUSED FARMER OF MURDER.
duplicates Former Polk
 County Citizen-SayS Killed Three

By the confession of Thomas Sprangley at Hugo, Ok, s. A. Blank, a former resident of Polk county, is charged with the killing of Mrs. George Webb and her two children. who were shot to death near Bos- well, in Choctaw county, last De- tober.
 Blank and his sons were arrested some time ago as a result of the murder. The former was held to the grand jury. Sprangley was one of Blanks important witnesses, and later he is said to have confessed that he swore falsely for Blank upon the instigation of Henry Dod- son, who was immediately taken into custody. As result of Sprangley's confession, Blank was arrested and charged with the murder, and a warrant was issued for Clem Dodson, son of Henry Dodson, whom Sprangley says was with Blank at the time Blank killed the trio with a revolver. Sprang- ley says Dodson, Blank and himself were together when the murder was committed.
 There are several in Mena who remember Blank when he lived in this county and made Mena his trading point.

LIVED DTWONONTHS
 AS PRIMITIVE MAN
Joseph Knowles, Boston Artist, Has Concluded Most Remarkable Feat Ever Undertaken by
 Civilized Man

Boston, Oct. 6.-Joseph Knowles, the Boston artist, has concluded one of the strangest and most remark able original tests ever known, com ing out of the forest after living there two months as a primitive man.
 Knowles spent yesterday at Me- santic, just over the Canadian line in the great Maine woods, convers- ing with the handful of men who gathered at that little forest town to greet him. For the greater part of the day Knowles peered over the papers of the past few weeks, many of which chronicled his life in the woods which he left in caches to be taken by friends.
 Knowles entered the woods, naked and with no food of any kind, near the King and Bartlett camp on Rangeley Lakes, August i. After just two months, almost to the hour, he emerged yesterday on the shores of Lake Megantic, clad entirely in deer skins Because he feared the displeasure of game wardens for killing a deer in the woods out of season, Knowles dared not leave the woods in Maine, but crossed the Ca nadian line. In the party that met him were some of the game war dens, who assured him that they would overlook their duty in rec ognition of his feat.
 Tn the whole sixty days Knowles did not see a human being. A rude hut of boughs provided him with shelter, and animals that he killed with his hands and rude weapons provided him with food and cloth ing.
 He found the problem of food less pressing at the outset than that of clothes. His chief implements were .of flint. This material he used in making his first tools, and from it he obtained the device which en- abled him to kindle fires. By his feat Knowles proved his claim that the man of today is just as able to exist as our primitive ancestors were without modern civilization.

SWALLOW HAD LONG JOURNEY
Positive Proof That Bird Travelled the
Distance From England to South
Africa.

lhc capture of swallow bearing
an aluminium ring in Natal, South
Africa, the other day, has resulted in
an astonishing insight into the migra-
tory habits OF birds. From a number
and address stamped on the ring it
was discovered that the swallow was
one of ,4S3 British birds marked in
similar way last summer by enthu-
siasts. desiring to learn more as to the
routes taken by bird migrants, and
whether birds return again to their
previous nesting sites. This systema-
tic marking of birds began in 1909,
since when nearly $4,000 have been
ringed.' About three per cent. are
afterwards noted. but the swallow re-
ported from Natal appears TO have
made the longest flight SO far. A
black headed gull ringed as a nesting
in Yorkshire In July, 1911, was found
IN February. 1912, in Flores, Azores.
A starting ringed in Berkshire In Jan
nary, 1912. reached Helsingfor, Fin
land, in April. A teal ringed in Stat
fordshire in the autumn of 1910, was
found at Dalarne, Sweden, July, 1911.
