Clarence McGuin, the latter a farm

accomplice, It is said, and gave tn.
motive as cupidity. The two expected
to find the proceeds of sale of 500,

they found in the farmhouse.
: White also is declared to have
stated that Lee Morgan was the cause

he was child and Of the ruin of hi,

{ :, Quarrel 10 Alleged. =
On the day of the murder. accord
ing TO- his alleged statement, White
had a quarrel with Morgan, with
whom he sometimes made his home
over back pay owed the youth as q
farmland. A friend of Whites heard
the conversation. Morgan is said to
have cursed him and denied the debt.
When the farmer left, the friend told
White he Ought to get Morgan"
i, According to his story, White then
rented shotgun from "a relative and
purchased some shells. The two
friends hired a livery rig and drove
to the Morgan farm.
They approached the house eau
tionsly. White stood guard at the
front door, he says, while his un-
named friend crept UP to the window
and shot Morgan while the farmer,
his housekeeper and farm hand were
sitting at the dinner table. The farm
hand, frightened by the explosion OF
the gun, leaped back from the table
and dashed out the front door. As
he did SO White opened fire, shooting
McGuin fourttimes. The last shot was
discharged with the tnuzzle placed
close to McGuin's skull as he lay pros
trate and dying at Whites feet
Meanwhile Mrs. McQuillan ran from
the house and attempted to rescue
the farm hand and was promptly shot
down by the other man.
House Thoroughly Searched.
> The two then entered the farm
house and searched it thoroughly for
money. They found only the small
amount mentioned. White thereupon
closed all the doors and extinguished
the light so as not to attract the at
tention Of neighbors to the tragedy.
They drove back to Great Bend, re-
turned the horse and rig to the barn
and went to a restaurant, where they
washed the blood from their hands.
After that they loafed about town for
a few days, finally taking train for
Hutchinson, where they attended the
state fair.

w. HI. Charters, Jr's Herd.

w. H. Charters, IRIS Herd.
About the middle of August we
made trip to Butler, Mo-, and WIS.,
tied the splendid Big Type herd of w.
H. Charters, Jr., who has a really
good Big Type herd that is credit to
Missouri and would compare favor
ably with the best in Iowa or Nebras-
ka, the original home of the Big Type.
There is no reason why this should
not be so as Mr.. Charters is thor
ough hog man of rare business abil-
ity and has the best breeding obtain
able. At the head of the herd is the
great boar White Sox Chief by A
Wonder, dam Long Price 4th by Col
umbia Chief I'd. The dam of Long
Price 4th is Long Price I'd by Chief
Price and her dam was Extra Long.
1t would be impossible to improve on
this pedigree. He was bred by W.
W. Wheeler before Fesenmeyer got
old A Wonder and is one of the old
est and best A Wonder boars in ser.
vice. He is very vigorous for his age
as he has never been fed to see how
heavy he could BE-. made. Charters
says he could have made him weigh
LOO pounds easily. He is easily in
the 1000 pound class and one Of the
greatest breeders in the corn belt.
Mr.. Charters has followed the same
tactics Fesenmeyer did in keeping a
son of A Wonder by selecting splen-
did son of White Sox Chief to take
his place. Wonder Chief will be two
years old October 3. His dam Blue
Violet is an elegant big sow by Mo.
Wonder in Blaine's Wonder. He is a
combination of A Wonder, Big Had
ley and Blaine's Wonder blood and it
has surely produced great results in
this case. Mr.. Charters may we'll be
proud of his achievements as breed
er in the production of this great
young hog. He has size, dash and fin
ish, smooth, jet black coat, best of
back and hams, good head and ear,
very heavy bone and is up on toes.
When w. S. C. is done with his life
of usefulness he will have a worthy
successor Of his own flesh and blood.
Without word against w. S. C.. we
will say Wonder Chief is going to be
his superior as an individual and his
pigs in the spring crop are showing
up great. Another great herd boar
is Long Price by Big Tom, the Ne
braska State Fair winner. His dam is
Sunlight by Guys Price ID. He was
bred by the noted Nebraska breeder
D. c. Lonergan and carries the blood
Of old Expansion, Bell Metal, Guy
Price, Oakland's Prospect and other
great Nebraska hogs. He is a big,
wide, long, heavy bone, quality hog.
and has made great cross on the A
herd sows. Mr.. Charters has
one Of the best sow herds we have
ever seen. Big, wide. long, motherly
lhings, as big as can be found in any
herd. q Of these farrowed 2lO pigs

NO EXPLANATION
Of REPORT FROM
GERMAN SOURCE
Story Of Strandipg of British
Cruiser in Turkish Waters
Not Credited in Diplomatic
Circles.


Washington, Sept. THE strand
ing Of the British cruiser Warrior,
reported to the German embassy to-
day in u wireless message from Ber-
lin, remained mystery tonight. The
message read:
British cruiser Warrior stranded
probably as result of fight with
cruiser Goeben while escaping from
the Bosphorus. .
The Goeben is German vessel
which with the Breslau escaped from
British pursuers at the time the war
began and sought refuge in the DaN
danelles. Later the ships were said
to have been sold to the Turkish gov
eTnment.
Diplomats were at loss to explain
the Berlin message. They believed it
impossible that the Warrior could
have been attempting to escape from
the Bosphorus as Turkey has mined
the straits, and the ships would not
have entered. Had the Goebcn been
allowed to go out and engage the
Warrior. 1t was said, 1t would be t.
direct violation of neutrality by the
Turkish government II the ship still
flies thegGerman flag. and virtually a
declaration Of war on the allies
III the Goeben Is under the Turkish
flag 1t would have been an act OF war.
A message from constantinoplc to
A. Rustem Bey, Turkish ambassador.
contained no mention of The Warrior.
and the ambassador said it conclu-
sivoly proved that no declaration Of
war had been made. though he did
not give out the text.
British officials here were kecnly
Interested in the Berlin report. al
though II caused no surprise. Great
Fritain had been expecting declara-
ticn OF war from Turkey. 1t was said.
for many days. The embassy, howev-
err. had no official information as to
the Warrior.
