John Kratz was in from Burton
to get his auction bills, last Mon
day, and during the course of little
visit told US that he had lost little
silage In one of his silos through
freezing. And that one of his neigh
Ors also had been touched up in the
silo frost And these silos were of
slaves, That seems to be evidence
which tends to prove that we are hav-
ing some winter, if the thing did
start late in the season. As rnle
wood sllos are not supposed to com
muniCate frost as readily as those of
some other kinds of construction, and
1t is supposed to require much freez-
ing to get next to feed contained in
wood tubs.
Since the grounding played his
capar on Feb 2, and brought on
winter, Everett Comeford. manager of
the local telephone and telegraph
Office has been as full Of trouble as a
boy with new step mother. First
there was a broken line between here
and Platteville, and on investigation
the rupture was discovered at Ellen
bor0. And no sooner was Mr.. Come
ford back in town from fixing that
break, that signal of distress came
up from Platteville. This time he
had to go clean through to the city to
our southeast. Then it was found that
Fennimore was being left out in the
cold and friendless world. a thing
that is liable to become tragic, for
without the guiding hand of Lancas-
ter, Fennimore is liable to go to any
kind of excuses. So Mr.. Comeford
got out team, Or an auto, and fol-
lowed the line until he found the
break, This was fixed and Fenni-
more was once more put on the map.
Since that all is serene.

Harrison, Mrs. Harrison registered,

URGES RURAL CREDITS
.RaiIrOader Pleads for Real Help for
Farmer.

Farm wealth Of the United States,
estimated at $40,0oO,OOO,OOO, should be
on the basis on which the prosperity
OF the country rests permanently, yet
there is no adequate law under which
TO finance tee farm. That was the
condition described at the Interstate
Agricultural Congress by W. c. Brown
former president Of the New York
Central Railroad.
"The establishment Of farm credits
is one Of the most important questions
now before the nation" Mr. Brown
said. "The farmer is paying twice tho
interest he should. longtime loans al
n low rtae would enable the farmer u
properly finance his work and it is this
financing upon which depends to large

Tragedy At Boyina.

The Mr.. Crouch who was murdered,
or who murdered, it seems hard to tell
which, was a nephew Of Mr.. 7. 7.
Adams, Of this city, and he was also
nephew Of Messrs. Tom and Willis
Crouch, who for several years lived at
Bentonia. Mrs. Crouch, the mother Of
the young man, was in the city on a
visit to her brother, Mr.. T. 7. Adams,
Of this city, only few weeks since.
The affair is certainly a most de-
plorable one, and in their dark hour
the family have the sympathy of many
friends.
Pistols Near Body.
mystery surrounds the death Of Hilton
Crouch, well known Warren county
farmer of the Tifintown locality, and
his wife, whose charred remains were
found this morning in the ruins Of
their home, which had been burned
to ashes. When the news reached this
city at an early hour Sheriff J. l..
Hyland and Coroner Jim Thompson
went to the scene and made an ex-
haustive investigation, but without re-
suit.
"There. are two theories-one Of
murder and one Of suicides all that
! could find out" said Sheriff Hyland
4 Three revolvers owned by Crouch
were found lying near the remains, the
cartridges of all having been dis
charged but none of the caps in the
cartridges had been punctured except
two which were in the pistol which
Sheriff Hyland states he learned was
frequantly carried by Crouch.
Coroner Thompson's investigation il
still continuing, but no additional evi
dence has been sechred.
. Sheriff Hyland stated upon his re
I turn that there was scarcely anything
found of the remains Of Mrs. Crouch
and that it was difficult to identify he
, as having been victim Of fire. Tn
{ upper portion of Crouch's body wa
positively identified, the lower par
, having been incinerated.
Upon suggestion of Justice of tn
Peace Stout, Jerry Bowman, Negro
- was placed under arrest, it bein
claimed that he had some difference
= with Crouch, but there was no dire'
a evidence to connect the negro with th
8 crime, according to the sheriff.

INDIANS CLAIM
RIVER BED RIGHTS
PLEA IN OIL
CASES WILL BE FILED BY
CREEK NATIONAL ATTORNEY.

Muskogee, Okla, May Con the
contention that the Arkansas and
Cimarron rivers are not navigable
in the oil belt, Creek National At
torney R. c. Allen will shortly file
a plea of intervention in behalf Of
several hundred restricted Indians
ir the famous river bed cases now
pending in the federal court.
Data upon which to base the plea
of Intervention, and the case which
Judge Allen hopes to set up, is
now being secured by his office. 1t
will be necessary to file two briefs,
one in each of the cases, and be-
cause of the large number of ripar-
ian allottees who will become par
ties to the suit, it is expected that
stipulation can be agreed upon
to have the case fought through in
the name of one allottee for all
others similarly situated.
Several hundred Indians OF the
restricted class were allotted land
adjoining either the Arkansas or
the Cimarron rivers. In most cases
these lands are still retained by
the allottees, and it is for these
latter who are now holding their
lands that Judge Allen will seek TO
intervene in the cases. Attorneys
for purchasers of Indian allotments
along the same streams will prob
ably institute similar proceedings
The contention of the Creek tribal
attorney will be that the Arkansas
and Cimarron rivers through that
portion in question are not nav1-
gable streams, and that therefore
title to the land in their beds should
have passed, or rather, did pass,
to the riparian allottees at the time
of allotment 1t will remain for
Judge Allen and. his clients to prove
that the streams are not navigaDle.
The contest for the river beds
and the right to lease them for
oil and gas purposes has been in
the courts for several years. The
chief litigation now concerning them
is the suit brought by the United
States in behalf of the entire Creek
tribe. seeking TO have the river
