SOLDIER, VICTIM
Of UNEXPLAINED
ACCIDENT, DIES
Carl Peters Found Fatally
Injured Near Smelter by
Street Car Crew.

In a dying condition, Carl Peters,
aged % years, private of Troop l. 18th
cavalry, was found Saturday night
about $3.50 o'clock, lying near the street
car tracks near the switch between old
Fort Bliss and the smeIUer.
There was a deep cash, four inches
in length, in the back Oh the mans head
and bruises on the back. The soldiers
coat also was ripped in the back and
there was grease ana dirL on the leIt
sleeve, indicating that he had been
knocked down and dragged by street
car or automobile.
The soldier was found by the crew of
an incoming sme1ter car, picked up and
carried to old Fort Bliss, where a doc
Tor was summoned. Dr. j. ID. Love
hurried to the smelter precinct, but
before he was able 10 reacn the soldier,
the man died
The man at the time he was struck
had returned from the city and was on
his way to his. camp IN the smelter-
The detectives believe that he was
struck by an automobile or q street
car They arrive at this theory owing
to the bruises inflicted on the mans
back, the tear in his coat aid the grease
on the sleeve.
Coroner Z. B. McClintOck, who was
called to view the body, is of the Opin-
ion that the soldier was struck by some
rapidly moving vehicle, which might
have been either 4 car or an automo-
bile. The cOnrOner's inquest viii be
held Tuesday.
Shortly after the soldier was found,
Urbano Sambrano, Rafael Espalin and
Miguel 1Iata were arrested by the sol
diers and taken to the police station.
After an investigation it was decided
that the men had no connection with
the case. Espalin was released, but
Sambrano and Mata were held because,
it is alleged, the men had two pistols
when arrested. Complaints charging
them with carrying the weapons were
filed in the county court
Peters, at the time of his death, was
serving out his second enlistment He
enlisted the second time at Vancouver
barracks, Washington. His home was
at Bolivar, Mo-, where his mother lives.
The body will be shipped to that point

Telephone Players, Soldiers
and Bankers Win Ball Games
Company Comes Back in Fine Shape in Its Contest
Against the Gas Team, While Phone Men Even Up
by WanOping Newspaper Team-Bankers Win
Saturdays Game Fir ON the Purity Team.

Purity team. was unable to check an up
rising Of the Rio Grande club in the 18th,
which won the game
After Perkins had singled into right and
had been advanced to third by easy stages,
WoIeslagle cinched the game when he
rapped out a neat hit into left field, pro-
rnotinC the winning run. True to predic-
fions. the contest was the most hercely
contested this season.
Previous exhibitions by both teams were
81 indicative Of their relative strength being
on an equal basis that 1t appeared for
awhile that the match would end because
Of darkness and the game would have to be
Dlaved off on ar appointed date
The single by Perkins however, and
v-oIeslagle's opportune clOut, placed the Rio
Grande team at the top of the percentage
column Brennan, whose fame as an eX-
amateur and semi-pro pitcher, is known
throughout the southwest, pitched mag
nifice1t game, and but for the failure OF
his team to hit Clearly behind him, would
have won the game.
In the seventh the Rio Grande team tied
the score when WoIeslagle was scored on
I,vnan's rap into right field. Bunson was
scored in the ninth when Ted Brann, third
member of the Brann triumvirate. was re-
tired by a fielder's choice, which enabled
Bunson to count.

Candelaria AlvaradO, a Mexican wOm-
an. aged about 20 years, was shot in

The bullet entered through the door
of the home. It was at first believed
that the bullet entered the aged wom-
ans ear, but now it is thought the
ear was only grazed.

V Ray Bronson, the indianapolis
welterweight who is in the
Antipodes at present with Milburn
Saylor, appears to have real challen-
ger for the lightweight crown. Before
the pair left for Australia SayIof met
Freddy Welsh at winnipeg and claimed
to have won by the knockout route,
but others allege it was 1ouI and
there the matter rested. Since arrlV-
ing in the land of the kangaroo, Say
Tor has had four battles and three Of
IN the country have been won by the
knockout route, his latest victim be-
ing Herb Mccoy, the boy who defeated
nearly every man of note IN the land.
Saylor's battle with Mccoy was no
WalkaWay, for the latter was not
stopped until the 18th round and then
he was fighting hard
SayIor has proved himself great
battler and his ability to take punch
and hand them out with the K. Q.
attached has been the wonder of the
sporting writer's of Sydney. 1t is GER
tain that if he keeps up his remark
able record he will return to this cOun-
try with every right to demand a
match with Willie Richie, the cham
pion. It is possible that Bronson will
remain while longer and wait for
some of the Yankee lightweights who
are supposed to sail soon for Australia,
among them Young Shugrue and Bobby
Moore. Shugrue is a high class light
weight and about as tough as can be
found in this country. Should the two
meet it would be a great battle, with
the odds slightly favoring SaylOr.

No Bread Famine In United States
This Year

Washington, d. &. Sept There
will be no bread famine IN the
United States this year. The larg-
est wheat crop in history has just
been harvested and according to the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, the total production is ap.
proXimately 9ll,OOO,OOO bushels;
nearly 10000, 900 bushels more
than any previous year produced in
the United States. We have al
least $50, 900, 900 bushels OF wheat
which are not needed for consump-
tion at home or for seed. The sur
plus production of the United States
are for seed. The surplus produc-
tIon of the United States usually
goes TO Europe, but under the pres.
ent conditions, caused by the Euro
pean war, this cereal cannot cross
the ocean. About IS, 900, 600 bush.
els have already been taken for ex
bort, but most of 1t is being held at
the ports of departure.
Conditions across the water are
not so encouraging, war IN Europe
tends to prevent the shipment Of
wheat from surplus European coun.
tries to those which need imports,
for example, from Russia TO France,
and a famine there seems inevitable.

Profitable Prices Tor Farm Pro-
ducts

The greatest encouragement that
can be gwen agriculture is profta.
bic prices for farm products. Crop
destroying insects have been a stub
born enemy and Jupiter Pluyius
has played many pranks on the
farmer but there is no pe,ulence
like low prices; they will sap on,
the life-bIood Of an industry.
It is one Of the most ptifuI sights
in twentieth century civilization to
aee farmer after he has raised a
crop SIT helplessly by and watch the
bulls aud bears Of Europe and
America irample over it, and vet il
the farmer will only organize and
cooperate he can successrvely fence
out these animals that de,astate his
products after the harvest.
The Arkansas farmer needs co.
operation as badly as diyersifcation.

Ability. Not Quantity, Pays In
Farming

No farmer gets rich by the quan
tity of production. 1t is the price
he gets for his.Products and econo
ny aud business Judgment display
ed in management that makes the
farmer wealthy.
We cannot pass law that will
increase the,price of products or re-
duce the cost Of blowing the land
and marketing the crop, We must
depend upon factories and transPor'
tstion facilities for marketing our
products and upon improved me-
ohanical appliances and the business
ability Of the farmer to reduce the
cost Of production, and to more in
telhgently market his products.
