Natchez, Miss. Feb. 26.-With
the approach of the end of the mule

more than twenty carloads. valued
at $87, 900. had been sold here in
the past few months. More than
500 mules have been sold. The
average sale price was SIS.
In the old days. before the ad-
vent Of the boil weevil 2 1000 mules
we're sold here every season.
Natchez is the distributing point

several hundred miles. Most of
the stock was sold to planters, who
often bought twenty or thirty head
at time.

II have your very kind favor of

With much interest. What you say
about the ticks is fully appreciated
by me and | have been preaching
this to our people for long time.
The people who would be most
benefited are the strongest in op-
position to tick eradication, as a
result of which we have never
been able to get it through here.
In the meantime the ticks are here.
and it is impossible Tor me to
handle this young bull to any ad-
vantage and keep him tick free.
and I am strongly thinking Of put
ting some ticks on him right away,

fall"

1T is a sad commentary on the
intelligence of the people Of a
great state like Mississippi that
the most intelligent class are OPP
posed to ridding the state of ticks.
After careful study Of this subject.
Ticks and Bad Roads. they cost the
farmer of Mississippi more than
any two things that he has to con-
tend with, and the majority of the
farmers willing to stand by and
submit. guess because their
grandfathers did do not know Of
any other reason.
Now you are going to be up
against pretty hard proposition
to save your bull. Il you will keep
him around your house and let him
get a very few ticks Oh him at the
time early. keep his bowels and
kidneys in good shape. I would
advise giving Aim a lump Of salt

marble. you stand some chance Of
having a mild attack of fever. but
| have known one tick to kill them
as dead as q door nail.
Can't you people down there con-
vince the intelligent farmer of Lin.

rid Of tieksl
It looks like any man would have
more consideration tor his children

Feb. II, 1913.
Mr. r. f. Becker.
Brookhaven, Miss.
Dear Sir:-Your letter Of the
18th and carefully noted.
Hou are correct; / have imported
quite a number Of cattle. have
been very successful as whole, but
have lost lots Of them. It is a
very expensive and risky business.
The best thing to do is to get rid
of fhe ticks which you can do easily
in four to six months.
Note that you have purchased
from Kentucky a very fine Jersey
bull, and he will be ten months old
on the Srd of March. Your chances
to lose him are about three in five.
Now as you know incubation is
simply giving the animal the fever
and then curing him. If your
county c0ntemplates tick eradica-
ton this summer would not inocu-
late this bull, but would keep
him where he could not possibly
get any ticks on him until you get
rid Of the ticks. No animal, in
my judgment, is as good after in
|oc glation as before. In fact, no
animal is as good after ticks bite
him as he was before he had ticks
on him. Put him up where there
have been no ticks or any cattle in
tested with ticks for the last twelve
months. IL you contemplate in
ocnlating him you ought to do it in
the next so days while the weather
is cool.
The people of Mississippi who
Eeradicate ticks realize it is best
from every viewpoint. First, you
at.n grow much better cattle than
with them; second, no man wants
to feed a lot of ticks; third. from a
humanitarian standpoint, and last
but not least, no man wants to
drink milk or eat the beef that is
poisoned with ticks.
If | can serve you further will
be glad to do so.
Yours very truly,
w. j. DAVIS.

$1,000 BOND FOR LANE
Preliminary Trial Brought Out Some
Spicy Faets---No Witnesses Put
On for Defense.

The preliminary investigation
into the case of Jack w. Lane.

Saturday night. was commenced 10
Justice r. s. Buffers court We'd
nesday afternoon at 3o'cIock. 8 At
s o'clock recess was taken until
10 o'clock Thursday morning.
Lane was released from custody
Thursday afternoon on a So, 600
bond, pending the action Of the
Grand Jury, which meets in Sep
tember.
SPECTATORS WERE DISAP-
POINTED.
The hearing Of the case was had
in the Court House and attracted a
large crowd of men to witness the
proceedings and hear the evidence.
The fact that the attorney did not
go into the case for the defense
was distinct disappointment to
those who wanted to hear all the
witnesses for the defense and es-
HpeciaIly the woman in the. case.
The State showed in substance
that while Ward was drinking con-
siderabIy that night, he was not
drunk, that the shooting occurred
in the room in the presence Of only
one witness, other than Ward aud
Lane, and that Lane came to the
room and pushing the door open
began shooting without a word be-
ing spoken. Another witness
standing on the outside of the room
and in the hallway saw Lane push
the door open and begin firing at
once. The fact that the electric
light in the room was extinguished
when the first shots were fired is
yet unexplained.
JUSTICE BUTLER'S VIEW:
Justice Butler in giving his de-
cision. stated that he was of the
opinion which stood uncontradict-
ed. that this was an extraordinary
case from all of the evidence SUBJ
mitted. and ordinarily the evi-I
dence given would result in his
remanding the defendant to Jail
without the benefit of bail, to
await the Grand Jury's action.
TO express myself honestly" said
his honor, there are some things,
from the evidence that has been
brought up, which / calculate will
fail to stand the test. am fixing
the amount of this bond al 81. 000l
and in doing this | am taking into
consideration the fact Of the de-
fendant's standing financially and
the support Of his friends"

Scene and period: Biscay and Ara
gon. 18th century.
Count Di Luna had two sons, the
younger supposed to have been burn

suffered likewise. Azucena, the lat
ters daughter, swore vengeance. She
succeeded in kidnapping the younger
son of the old count,-beeause of her
mothers fate. With him she repaired
to the stake, where her mothers ashes
were still to be seen. By mistake
'AZucena cast her own son into the
flames instead of the stolen child. She
fled to the tribe, bearing the boy with
her. He grew to superb manhood, and
was known as Manrico, the trouba-
DOR Meantime the count had died, his
elder son succeeding to the title. The
new count was in love with the Du-
chess Leonora.
Act

night the count, while in the Royal

asked 10 give the people of the city
and county of Honolulu the right to
at any time elect a committee of free
holders for the purpose Of drafting
any new municipal act for the city. 1t

people would be aroused to action, &c.

come up at the conference this even

notice along the road to, Eva and the

a reward of seventy-five dollars for
the apprehension of Rodrigues. He

was upon this assurance given in good
faith that the officer in charge of the
territorial prison again placed the
prisoner in gang where he would
have the privilege of leaving the grim
walls of the prison for outdoor en-
ployment. High Sheriff Henry had
hoped that through kindly treatment,
Rodrigues might be made a new man.
Much was done to encourage the man
towards new and better life.
Had Rodrigues remained with the
prison squad he would have gained
his liberty within a little less than
three years time He is serving an

for period of from four to twenty
years.
