4 DEAD AT CARLISLE
 AS 4 RESULT OF A
 NEGRO MURDERER
Two White Men Killed and a Third Will Die-Black Finally
 Rather than be Apprehended
 Dr. Crawford and Son Victims

- W AOA VI chtd DUH
 Carlisle, Ark, Sept. 12.-Two white men are dead, a third is dying and two negroes are dead here as the re- suit of the murder by her husband ot the wife of a negro, Pat Bowers. early this morning, the subsequent chase of the negro, who barracaded himself in his home and took his own life rather than be captured by the mob.
 The dead
 Dr. C. L. Crawford.
 J. K Johnson.
 Pat Bowers, negro
 Pat Bowers wife
 Fatally injured:
 Chester Crawford
 Before 3 o'clock this morning an alarm was spread when Constable J. T. Burnett was notified that Pat Bow CTS, negro, had shot and killed his Wife in a negro settlement three and one-half miles from town. Constable Burnett at once deputised Dr. c. L.. Crawford, his son, his son Chester Crawford, and J. K. Johnson, who in an automobile hurried to the home of the negro.
 Black Opens Fire.
 When the party hailed the black be- fore his home, the negro, infuriated at pursuit, his wife's dead body still warm in his cabin, appeared at the door with double -barreled shotgun. The black at once opened fire on the men in the automobile.
 Dr. Crawford fell from the car dead and his son, Chester fell forword in his seat, fatally wounded by buck shot wound in the abdomen.
 Before the third occupant of the car, J. K. Johnson, could crank the mach inc and go for aid, the negro reappear- ed, armed with heavy caliber pistol. He emptied the weapon in the direct ion of the car and fled.
 When assistance arriverd Johnson's body was found in the car dead, Dr. Crawford's dead body just outside the car and his son bleeding profusely and in danger of death. The wounded man to town and later taken to Little Rock in an effort to save his life.
 Negro Barricades Self.
 Meanwhile an alarm was sounded and every able-bodied man in town started after the negro. Strange to say, the black had not left his own premises, and apparently crazed by his recent deeds, or under the influ- ence of liquor of a drug, he barricad- ed himself in his cabin and shouted defiance to his pursuerS.
 A fusillade was fired into the ne- gro's house. The fire was returned by the negro, and a second volley was fired, which silence reigned in the negro's home. After a wait of some minutes braver spirits in the crowd took courage and ventured into the cabin.
 The negro was found dead beside the body of his wife, with a pistol wound in his head and other wounds about the body The theory is held that he killed himself, when he saw that capture was inevitable, although there is little doubt of his being wounded several times by shots from mem bers of the posse.
 Reports from Little Rock say that there is little chance for the recovery of Chester Crawford. Both he, his father and J. K. Johnson, the other victim of the blacks fire, are members

MOSC|SKA NOW IN
HANDS Of TEUTONS
ALL RUSSIAN COUNTER ATTACKS
HAVE BEEN REPuLsED, THE
GERMANS SAY.
ITALIANS ARE ADVANCING
That England Is Prepared For Long
Siege Operations Is Indicated in
An Official Statement.

London. The Austro-German
rush in Galicia is on again. Both
Berlin and Vienna claim progress
along virtually the entire southeast
ern front, and Lemberg again appears
to be in danger
Mosciska, east of Pr7emysl, has
been captured by the Austro-Ger-
mans, and according to the German
contention, the Russians are falling
back south of the railroad connecting
Przemysl and Lemberg. All Russian
counter attacks have been repulscd
with gains for the Teuton8 from q
point north of Przemysl into BeS-
sarabia, the Germans say.
Far off as this front is from Eng
land and France, it is being watched
more closely than the western front,
because it would appear that these
operations are being pressed in m
attempt to clear Galicia of the Rus
slams, preparatory to a breathing spell
in the east, which is likely to be fol-
lowed by a crushing blow aimed at
Italy.
The fighting is growing harder
daily along the Austro-Italian frontier,
and, in view of past performances, it
is considered reasonable to assume
that Germany will throw a great
mass of troops on this front and en-
deavor to sweep into Italv and hold
ground there, just as she las done in
Poland, Belgium and France.
Of the fighting in France, around
Arras, the German and French Off
cial communications fatty contradict
each other. On the whole, it is be-
lieyed here, the advantage has been
with the French.
That England is prepared for long
siege operations in the Dardanelles is
indicated in an official statement just
issued explaining the nature Of the
tedious trench warfare, although as
serting that the Turkish offensive is
not so sharp as it was formerly.
Almost complete returns for the
general elections assure a war cham
Der for Greece, although with The
king still in a precarious condition
and the chamber not due to meet FOR
more than a month, no immediate
events affecting Greece's neutrality
are expected.

The following address on Work OF

culture" was delivered before the Pu-
laski county teachers institute June
8, 1915, by A. d. McNair At the re-
quest of the club editor it was given
for publication. Mr.. McNair said in
part:
"The work of the United States
Department of Agriculture is so large
that one can touch only the salient
features in a brief address. Some Of
it, too, like the work of the forest SER
vice and meat inspection may be left
out, not because il is unimportant,
but because brevity must keep me
within those branches of the work
with which I am most familiar.
"The largest work of the depart
ment in this state is the demonstra-
tion work, which employees GO men and
20 women; men being employed in
about so counties and women in ~
counties of the state. This entire
work Is under the direction of c. W.
Watson and corps of able assist
ants.
"The duty of the demonstration
agents is to help farmers to make a
better living and establish higher
standards of life on the farm. Much
attention is paid to seed selection, the
preparation and cultivation of the
soil after the most approved methods,
the use of manures and fertilizers,
the growth of leguminous crops for
feed and fertilizers, the extension Of
the practice of raising all food and
feed instead Of buying the same, and
work in preventing the diseases Of
animals and plants"
