MARSHALL, Texas, Feb. 5.--With
three men bound over to the grand
jury and at liberty under bonds, the
excitement which followed the killing
OF william Black, the alleged ex-

local knight of Columbus, had sub
sided today. The dates for the trials

and charged with the murder of Rog-
ers, and of the three Catholics
charged with the murder of the ex.
priest, who attacked their church,
had not been set today.
The testimony OF Hall and Miss
Sadie Black. adopted daughter OF the
slain anti-Catholic lecturer. placed
the blame for the revolver battle In
the little hotel room Wednesday
night, on the knights of Columbus
men, who came armed. Hall, how
ever, admitted killing Rogers, and
wounding John Copeland. He stated
that he began firing at the first sign
OF trouble. Copeland's condition to.
day was still critical.

labor was beginning to be felt, Her

of the working week from 81 to 90
hours; installation Of grievance and

filming system were the terms accept
ed by the strikers.

FARMER BROWN
WILL PROMOTE
PORK INDUSTRY
NOVEL PLAN FOR ENCOURAGING
CLUB BOYS.

Farmer Ed Brown, of Americas,
whose enthusiasm on the hog and
hominy proposition is unbounded, and
who is raising some of the finest reg
istered stock in Sumter county, will,
inaugurate novel plan for interest
iEg some of Sumter's sturdy lads il.
raising fine pigs. His plan is as fol.
lows:
Mr.. Brown has instructed Faria
Demonstration Oliver here to select
twenty-five Sumter county farmer lads
To each boy Mr.. Brown will present a
registered SOW pig, to be the boys own
property.
The conditions are that the porker's
premises be kept clean and sanitary,
and that Mr.. Oliver will make occas-
icnal inspection of each place. In due
time the boys will give back to Mr..
Brown two pigs each of his selection.
No other return will ever be asked
from the twenty-five pig raisers.
The plan is certainly an induce
ment for the 25 lads to go to work
raising hogs at profit. Mr.. Brown
will spend several hundred dollars in
the purchase of the pigs to be donated
them, as he will buy only the finest
registered stock.
