troubles of homesteaders in the west
were pictured to the joint committee
on rural credits here by George W
Fisher, of Redfeld, n d., who urged
that legislation make provision for

AT present, he declared, the poor
who endeavored to make
a start in a new country without It
large amount of capital was victimized
by "Shylock bankers who's trip each
advancing wave of homesteaders and
lie in wait for the next crop"
The committee has also received pro-

FRANK WANTS To
TALK To REPORTERS

Atlanta, Feb 20.-Leo NJ. Frank is
anxious to see the newspaper report
ers and talk with them-has been anx-
ious to see them ever since the su-
preme court decision was handed
dcwn, and he has only been prevented
from doing so by the refusal of his
counsel to permit it.
Frank, who maintains a steadfast
voluntary silence while the cast was
in the hands of the higher court, is
now anxious to talk His personal
friends are inclined to believe that he
is right in his wish to admit the re-
porters, and it may be after further
conference, that the lawyers will with
draw their present refusal.
What Frank will say, it is logically
expected will be in some form or an.
other an expression of his innocence
and his belief in the guilt of Conley.
Frank is said to have expressed
qualification at tht announcement that
the famous Detective William j.
Burns, was coming to Atlanta next
week to probe the case.
q believe he will get at the truth,
and the truth will show me innocent"
Frank is reported to have said.

While the candidate for any Office is,
as a rule very modest in pressing his
claims for a place at the pie-mounter,
the Sumterian who seeks the easy job
is gunshy to a degree heretofore I'M
known. The feast is prepared and
the guests invited, but SO few have
responded that it may be necessary to
send out into the highways and the
hedges and bid the unanointed to come
i'll and partake of the good things thus
in waiting.
There are a dozen or more offices
awaiting some enc to claim the salary
attached thereto, and while for one o.
two of these offices two or three can
didates cast their optics longingly at
the plum ON the top limb, there are
other offices for which no candidates
have as yet announced.
However, nearly three weeks remain
before the date Of the primary, March
18th, and much stirring can be done lii
the interim.
Even today may bring a change in
the seeming state of lethargy, for the
voters of the country districts are
coming to town to make purchases and,
incidentally, will discuss county poll
tics just a little. For some of the Of
fees the present incumbents are IN
opposed, and onlStwo have opposition
Treasurer Williams and Tax Re-
ceiver Howell. For all the other in
cimbents it looks now like easy sail
ing.
In some of the counties there are

every job in sight and the plum tree
is weighted down with prospective
pickers, but not so in Sumter

COkVICTS fight;
GLOER WELLNIGH
HACKED TO BITS
Big Fight near AMERICUS
Henry Summers Nearly Kills
Luther GlOGF

WELDING a dangerous knife and cut
ting with the frenzy of a desperate,
hacking almost to death the man thus
held at his mercy, Luther Gloer was
almost killed yesterday afternoon in a
desperate fight which was precipitated
b. Henry Summers. Both are white
convicts, and Gloer was covered with
blood pouring from numerous wounds
in his neck and back when the guards
finally pulled the infuriated Summers
from him
The fight took place at the dinner
hour, when the convicts employed on
the Seals Mill road were in the cor
raj 1t started from nothing, accord
ing to official report, but came near
resulting in Gloer's death.
1t is said that Summers, who is do
ing a life sentence for murder, was
plaguing several boys, inmates of the
gang, when Gloer jestingly asked why
he did not pick a man to impose upon.
The suggestion thus made in jest had
scarcely been uttered when the desper-
ado sprang like tiger upon Gloer and
applied a keen knife with lightning
like rapidity. The first deep stab was
in the neck, while numerous other
deep cuts were inflicted in Gloer's side
and back. He was almost dead when
the, guards and other convicts effected
his rescue.
Gloer is an Atlanta safe-blower and
is doing l3ng term. A year ago he
escaped from the Sumter gang AMI
made his way to Cincinnati, where a
pal turned him up" to the police re-
Gently and he was brought back 70
Americas.
Henry Summers, also white man
and life-term convict, is small Of
statue, but o. unusual strength. AL
though serving a life sentence, he was
until recently a teamster, and a famil-
lar figure driving his wagon to and
from Americus. Recently he attempt
ed to escape, and when captured after
a short time and returned to the gang,
his liberty was taken away and steel
shackles put upon the dangerous con-
vict.

WAYGR0SS OFFICERS AIDING
FATHER IN SEARCH FOR
HIS MISSING DAUGHTER

Waycross, Ga, Fec. 20.-Joining il
nationwide search for pretty little
Catherine Winters, tn years old, To-
cal officers are aiding the grief-stricE-
en- father DR.. w. A. Winters, of In
diana, in every way possible. The de-
scription of the missing girl, with du'l
information of her mysterious disap-
D arance, has been receivtd by Sheriff
Pittman.
1t seems that on March 20, 1913, the
little girl disappeared from her home
in Indiana, and that on the same day
a band of Gypsies left the same city.
1t is the general opinion that the little
girl was stolen by the gypsies, and
with this theory in mind the search
has been including all gypsy camps.
The description of the missing girl
is as follows: Ten years old, rather
small for her age; smart and talks
as though She was older than ten
years; brown eyes, light brown hair
SKIN without Flemish, perfect teeth
las no tom-boy traits, but likes T.
Hay with dolls and is fond Ct garden
