Atlanta, Gas Aug. 17.-Leo M. Frank was kidnapped last midnight from the Milledgeville prison farm by a mob of tWen- ty, who overpowered the guards. He was Whisked away in one of the eight automobiles carrying the lynching party and was hanged from a tree near Marietta, the birthplace of Mary Phagan, the girl ofWhose murder he was convicted.
 His body and hands were manaeled in front and the body was found dangling barefoot this morning just off the high way, two miles from Marietta.
 A elotted crimson line down his present garments showed that the rope broke open the wound in his neck inflicted by William Green, fellow prison CT, recently.
 The lynching occurred more more than one hundred miles from the prison.
 The chief of police of Mari etta today said he was investi- gating, but had no clue so far as to the identity of the slay- CTS.
 Frank was evidently dead several hours when the body was found.

ALLEGED TO HAVE
 GIVEN BAD CHECKS
Stock Dealer of West Plains, Mo-, Is Wanted Here For Alleged Check Frauds.

A. ". Kinyon, a stock deal CT of West Plains, Mo-, is alleg- ed to have issued worthless checks for more than $400 in payment for stock recently purchased by him from farm CTS of this community.
 The largest loser is T. V. R. Dorr who lives few miles north of town, from whom Kinyon bought a number of head of cattle and sheep. Dorr sold Kinyon $396 worth of stock and accepted his check in payment.
 James Barber, living a few miles north of town took Kin yon s check for S52 in payment for stock sold him and the check was turned down by the bank at West Plains because Kinyon had no funds there with which to pay the check.
 W. L. Hall, the local livery man, got caught for $15, hav- ing accepted Kinyon's check for that amount in payment for livery bill.
 The stock bought by Kin yon, for which he gave the alleged worthless checks, had reached their destination and had been disposed of. before kinyon's shortage became known to the bank here, and all efforts to head off the ship ment and tie up the stock, prov ed futile.
 MT. Hall and MT. Dorr left Tuesday for West Plains to in- stitute proceedings against Kin yon.
 Kinyon has been buying stock in this community for some time, having bought several carloads of stock during the past spring and summer.He al, ways gave checks on a West Plains bank in payment for same but no trouble was ex- perienced by the bank here in making collections until now.
 Kinyon left here about a week ago with the stock con signed to HoXie. It is not known where he went from that place and all efforts to locate him have proven fruitless.

 Receivers for the two roads wich form the Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain system of ap- proximately 7,200 miles of track, was asked in suits filed by the Commonwealth Steel Company on two claims fot approximately $200,000.
 Iron Mountain Owes $14O,00O The petition against the Iron Mountain alleges that the de- fendant road is indebted to the petitioner $55,335 for material supplies and eqipment, and that the defendant has refused to pay.

 The court held that the col lactor is due the county the sum of $225 as interest on deferred settlements and an additional sum of $228 as pen alty.
 Attorneys for MT. Arnold and also the attorneys for the .eXceptor gave notice of appeal, neither side being satisfied with the decision of the county court and the case will be taken to the circuit court.
 Following is the bill Of eX- captions filed by attorneys for Mir. Walbert, attacking the settlement of the collector.
 In the Independence County Court.
 In the Matter of Exceptions Ito Collectors Settlement.
 Comes Thos. J. Walbert and files this, his exceptions to the annual settlement of the Coun- ty Collector of Independence County, filed in this court on July Eth, 1915, and for cause of his exceptions he states:
 That he is a citizen and tax payer of the county of Inde- pendence and State of Arkan-, sas, and files these exceptions as such.
 That said Collector in his said settlement has failed to charge himself with certain penalties, interest and differ enees in value of funds receiv- ed and funds paid to the Coun- ty Treasurer, which are legal charges against hlm,and which accrued as follows:
 1. That under the Act of the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas creating County Repositories, and the Act of May 4th 1911, amenda- tory thereof, it is made the duty of the County Collector to pay to the County Treasurer every fifteen days, and often- CT If practicable, all county funds, including school and road funds, to the end that the same may be, by said Treasurer, deposited in said depository so that interest may accrue to the county thereon. and 1t is further provided that for any failure to pay any of such funds to said Treasurer said collector shall forfeit to the county the sum of five per cent penalty for each period of fifteen days on the amount delayed, during such delay.

Protect The Birds.

We learn from people who are
making study of birds that many
of the most desirable ones are being
killed or driven off simply because
they are deprived of their homes
many times unsuspectingly by the
farmer burning brush in which they
live, also for the reason that during
the long winter months they do not
get enough to eat. This is one
cause for our lack Of quail. We
make a plea to all. and especially
the farmers. to remember. to re-
member the birds, and now. during
resting time. to do everything they
can to produce healthy crop" of
birds. The better class of birds are
a help to the farmer, paying their
way by the insects and worms they
eat,-Ex.

What Three Pennies Did.

At the Santa Claus Day in Gala
tin last year three little children of
R. Fl Martin, northwest of town
each received bright new penny
at the Farmers Exchange Bank.
Last Saturday, on the return visit
OF Old Santa to Gallatln. the three
children were here again to greet
him and to make deposit of $3.50
in the Farmers Exchange Bank,
that amount representing the earn
Jugs of their three pennieS-and
here is how they did it. With the
pennies they bought garden peas,
planted them and sold the crop
taking the money and investing it
in eggs, The eggs were set and the
children raised the chickens and
sold them Saturday morning for
$3.50 putting the money in the
bank as the beginning of a savings
account to which they expect to add
annually. This is a record of thrift
and judicious management of a
small capital that is remarkable
and our little friends are to be con-
graduated. Every boy and girl
should get busy with such an OBJ
ject lesson before them and see

Paris Ghost Appears Again.

For years Paris has had the dis
tinction of having a real ghost. 1t
has made its appearance off and on
for years. The following was in the
last issue of the Paris Appeal:
1t is said that a man dressed in
womans clothes was playing ghost
here Saturday night. Some young
fellows who saw what they thought
was a ghost ran as fast as they
could to avoid the ghost, while one
young fellow thought he could
catch it, but unfortunately he fell
in a ditch and the ghost made his
getaway.
