LIVE STOCK IMPROVEMENT.
TransylVania County is Preparing for
Improved Live Stock. !
(BreVard NeWs.1

From present indications it would
appear that T~ransylvania county is o
take a step in the right direction in
improving live stock. Although there
is at present a large number of farm
ers who raise pure bred stock, there IS
yet plenty of room for Improvements,
and no doubt great. improvement will
be noted within the next few years.
Mr.. Chas. E. Orr, who recently pur-
chased the Jennings farm, about two
miles from town, is preparing to go
into the cattle raising business, hav-
ing just purchased an unusually fine
E1ack Aberdeen Angus bull. In adj
d:tion to this a stock improvement
company has. been organized and has
purchased a fine stallion for the pur-
pose of improving the horses of the
county.
Mr.. L. S. Clough, who owns a 1900
acre farm about two miles from town,
has just announced that he will ship
some fine Percheron horses to his
farm and will in future devote much
attention the raising of these heavy
draft horses, there always being a
great demand for this breed,
There is hardly any question but
that all these ventures will prove a
success. The farmers and stock
raisers of the county are wide awake
to the Importance Of raising pure
bred stock and will take advantage
of the opportunities now presented by
these gentlemen and others.

TARFFIC ON MURPHY BRANCH
Comes in for Lively Discussion at
Freight Rate Hearing.

Comes in for Lively discussion at
Freight Rate Hearing.
Raleigh, April.-The Murphy branch
and lis relations to other North Caro-
lima divisions of the Southern came in
for lively discussion this evening in
Attorney General Bickett's cross-ex-
animation of Auditor Plant, of the
Southern, before the special commits
sion on interstate freight rates. At
torney General Beckett insis. ed that
the Murphy branch should not have
been used as typical of local freight
traffic conditions for this state. And
this Auditor Plant should not have
devoted 16 per cent of the test in Nov
ember to this branch which is only
one-twelfth of the mileage in the state.
The average density OF train tonnage
for the state is eighty four tons and
and on the Murphy branch Attorney
Plant said it fas 1877 tons. Please
state then" exclaimed Attorney Gen.
eral Bicket, "why the corporation com
mission permits the higher frelgn1
rate on the Murphy branch If train
tonnage is so much greater. ASK the
the commissioner" was the laconic
reply of Mr.. Plant. Then he added
that the fact was that a very great per
cent of the Murphy branch freight IS
heavy weight bearing very low rate,
such as timber, furthermore, cost OF
maintenance of road way is so
greater. Mr.. Plant insisted that his
April figures and November tests were
representative and his deductions fair.
Attorney General Beckett made the
point that the railroad company chose
q non-representative month in taking
April 1913 to illustrate the effect that
the reduced rates in the Justice act
would have no revenue in cutting this
to two per cent net profit for the COM
pany, April being far below normal.

Mr.. SWANSON is noteworthy fig

was a pioneer of the business. haN-
ing been associated with Thomas A.

the business, remaining in 1t contin-

ARE CHARGED WITH
SWANSON KILL ING
AND MAY NOT Be
PERMITTED BAIL
Writ Of HabeaS Corpus is Filed
to Get Court TO Fix Bonds
FQT CattIenlen.
ACCUSED ARE PROMINENT

AeoESe iuSne5, Dale Mitchell and
7. ID. Shorty Bowman were form
ally arrested today on grand jury in
dietments charging them with the
murder OF Peter Swanson on April
"a, 1907. Claude Timbrel was re-
Gently taken into eustody in Twin
Falls on similar charge.
General y. c. Miller, who has been
retained by the indicted men, this
afternoon died motion for writ
of habeas corpus before Judge Cav
ender asking Tor the release of the
men from jail where they are theo-
retically supposed TO be confined. The
Indictment upon which they are ar
rested calls for their confinement
without bail pending the trial OF the
case in the October term of court
The effect of the writ Will be to Sc
cure a hearing of the states evidence
in order that the court can deter
mine whether or not bail should be
permitted
The motion viii be heard probably
Wednesday when District Attorney
Weiser Will have returned from
Montrose.
1t is believed that the arrest of the
four men now charged with the
swanson murder completes the list
OF indictments on that accusation.
Hughes, Mitchell and Bowman are
VOL known ard it would have been
difficult TO find tbros men more
prominent in the cattle husinessin
Mesa county than are the defendants.
George Hughes has made his home
at Whitewater for great many
years. Mitchell resides in this city
and Bowman lives in Fruita. All OF
the trio are well to do, have the re-
speet OF the communities in which
they make their home and are ident-
flied with many public movements.
After they had been informed of
the grand jury indictments, all of
them came to this city today and
spent practically the entire day at
the court house awaiting action on
the applications for bail Many
friends met them and expressed a
belief in their innocence.
When The Sentinel announced
that undersheriff Watson had ar
rested Claude Timbrel in Twin Falls
for implication in the murder IL was
generally conceded that other arrests
would be made later Speculation
has been rife as TO the Identity OF the
other men charged with the crime.
Probably no arrests made in recent
years compare in public interest to
those formally made today in con-
nection with the Swanson murder ac-
cusations.
