attention. One was a horse colt by
Argot Hal out of a McEwen mare,
the dam of Farmer Spears 2:10, an.
other was a filly colt by Directs Star,

peaches and cream to the eye Of a

that my brother, DR.. Nat Moore, is
in jail in the state of Sinaloa,
Mexico" said DR.. w. P. Moore, of
Culleoka, today when called by tele-
phone in regard to mis- brother being
imprisoned.
Il do not anticipate that he will
have any trouble in getting free. In
the letter from my sister-in-law,
which was written about ten days
ago, she stated that she had made
appeal to both Secretary Bryan and
to the head of the state Of Sinaloa
for his release. How he came to be
Jailed happened in this way"
HE had been called from his
home In Ell Paso, which is right on
the Mextcan line to 90 to this state
in Mexico, which is some 200 miles
from the American border, to operate
on a Mexican patient. The latter
died under the operation, and in
some way or other the Mexicans i'm
prisoned him. Whether they were
Federalists or Constitutionalists / do
not know. It was evidently a piece
LOT ignorance or spite work, based
upon some Of their queer, provincial
ideas" IL
II do not think that my brother
will have much trouble in getting
free Of the charge. He can speak a
little of the Mexican language, as he
is thrown constantly with people of
that nationality in El Paso."
DR.. Moore is known to large
number in this city and county, es.
pecially in the Culleoka neighbor-
hood, where he was born, reared,
and lived for many years. He II q

results that roads were in good shape

While a light vote was feared be-

The rain belt extends from Grand

clear with good temperature, and
roads are excellent. That condition
applies to practically the entire north
