to the home of an uncle. where he
will work for the support Of his invalid
mother. making reports every ten days
to the warden of the state peniten-
tiary.
At the June meeting of the state
board Of pardon. in 1910. Wells was
pardoned. but the pardon was re-
scinded at the December meeting on
the presentation Of mammoth peti-
ton from the residents Of Sargent
county.
The crime for which Wells was sent
to the pen was committed Nov. l9.
1902, when he and his brother killed
Frank D.. Carr. butcher Of Forman.
The body was not discovered until
March Of the following year, when il
was accidentally found by some men
working around barn near the Carr
place. There were then various cir
eumstsnees Observation-Disclosures
ed the finger Of suspicion toward Well,
| and he was arrested ia Michigan,
where he had gone shortly after the
crime. He was brought back And
after be had been convicted. .ol
the crime made confession. j
His story Of the crime was that ht
and his brother and Carr were insthe
barn when quarrel started and Carr
made for him with knife. wher
Wells brother struck Carr over the
head with an axe. rendering him un
conscious. The brother was scared Al
what he had done and immediately
fed. Sherman Wells then finished th.
work of killing by beating Carr ove'
the head with an axe until every sigr
Of life was gone and then buried hin
in the barn.
According to the story the KILN,
and the buriad must have taken, .
least four hours. The motive Of th'
crime is said to have been robbery. q
ii is supposed Carr had several hun
dred dollars on his person on the da!
Of the murder. Well. was tried il
Dickey county on change Of svenu
and it is claimed there was sabou
$l0.o 900 spent by the defense in tn
trial, and it cost the state almost a
} much to prosecute.
After his conviction Wells made
number of threats as to what he woul
do to certain people in the county q

proposition than they could get
elsewhere. it was the opinion that
they would enter into some kind
of a binding agreement with hi.
people. the farmers to give notes
to be held in trust, and MI. Cox
likewise to give some guarantee
that the road would be built and
put in operation before the notes
were to be turned over.
Before the meeting adjourned
several committees were appoint
ed to canvass their respective
neighborhoods to ASCERTAIN the
sentiment and get all farmers in
touch with the movement so tina,
they would be in a position to

MARKET REVIEW.

Houston, Tex. Aug. 1.-The general
South Texas country is in need of rains
to mature the crops. What rains have
occurred are local showers and have lit
tie effect. The sur and heat have done
their part i'm maturing the cotton and
if a timely general rain will come this
week or next the crop is assured.
Condition will average in the lower
SOS and it is believed it is better this
year in North Texas than in the coast
country. Boil weevil reports are coming
in from South Texas. but they are con
lined to a limited territory. In central
and North Texas there are no complaints
of insect damage.
Trade throughout the Southern terrific
~ is seasonably quiet. with money tight
with the old crop year dying and the
new coming on. Money is available for
little else than harvcsts. Collections are
poor. All indications, however, point to
u heavy fall business.
Along Houston Produce Row there is
a demand for hens that cannot be filled.
In consequence prices have gone back to
last springs high levels and dealers are
beating the country for supplies. The
reason for the shortage is because fam
crs are holding back hens for laying rur-
poses.
The hot weather is playing havoc with
the egg market. Eggs are being received
in bad condition and receipts not iced
practically are worthless upon reaching
Houston. An instance is cited Of n
produce dealer who candled but five dOz
en- eggs. out of thirty dozen cases.

To RAISED Good Poultry
More People Interested in Chicken
5reeding-Greater Demand for
Stock and Eggs.

If you have found by experience
that you can make it pay you we'll 10
put more time and attention. to the
chickens upon the farm, by raising
good stock, selling part of your stock
and eggs for breeding purposes and
the balance for the market; if you
have found that a dollars worth of
care will give you 81 worth of re
suits: il your poultry business seems
to be steadily on the increase, do not
hesitate to tell your friends and
neighbors about it. Advise them to
do likewise.
Tell them that you can almost
guarantee that If they once get thor
oughly established in the business
they will not want TO drop il for any
reason. Give them pointers on now
you succeeded. Advise them to in
vest little in stock and fixtures. Do
not be afraid they will take your
business away from you. The more
people get interested in poultry, the
greater will be the demand for stock
and eggs
Fine Poultry Rare.
When we commenced breeding fine
poultry, over twenty years ago. there
was but one other person for miles
around who raised good poultry. And
II was 5utu Il rare llAlllB al AildA llAAlts
especially in the country, that the
people laughed at us and continued
to do so for several years. and re-
marked that they did not see why we
should want to waste so much valu-
able time on such a small thing as
poultry. But we were not the kind
that laughing hurt much: in fact, il
only made us the more determined to
succeed, and we did succeed. So
much so that it was not very long
until we were getting more out of our
poultry than most of them were get
ting out Of their farms. But we kept
on working and advising poultry, and
better poultry, until when we left
that place thirteen years ago we had
mighty near leavened the whole
bunch. They were nearly all raising
some good breed of poultry. We were
doing little advertising wherever we
went, by slips or cards. In the local
papers and the farm papers-any-
thing that we thought would bring
results-until we became known as
Marshall, the Chicken Man" and we
have never been ashamed Of Il TO this
day. That is what We want you to
do. readers.
Any of you have good stock and
