OFFICERS KILL BAD NEGRO
Sheriffs Posse Forced to Kill Bad Man North
 west of Brinkley

Simon Garner, a negro who has been acting "a bad man" in the country about two miles northwest of Brinkley for the past several years, was shot and killed by the Sheriff's posse. who were trying to arrest him.. on Monday morning.
 Garner h a d bought a little farm northwest of Brinkley, and several years ago the farm was sold at delinquent tax sale. The Ayer-Lord Tie Co. bought the land and secured the deed to the place but the negro refused to give up possession and the Chancery Court instructed the Sheriff to bring the negro into Court.
 The negro sent word to the Sheriff that he would not be taken and warned everybody to keep off of the place on penalty of being shot. The officers have been trying every kind of trick to get him into town and arrest him without serious trouble but to no avail and consequently after several weeks of strategy the officers went out Monday to bring him in.
 The officers had with them two colored men who when the bad mans place was approached twent ahead and under the guise of being tramps tried to get close enough to Simon to grab him and prevent loss of blood but Simon prevented this by pulling his big gun and making them back off before they reach ed the house. After he warned them to get away and they were needing his commands he began emphasizing his commands by shooting a few times either at them or to frighten them and then the battle opened in earnest. Marshal Owen used an auto. Imatic shot gun. Officer Frank Federer a Winchester and Officer l Milwee had a fl Calibre Colts Automatic. For 15 or 20 minutes the firing continued. The des- perate negro inside of his shanty lv ould shoot first at one and then another of the officers and they in turn kept up continual firing at him. Finally he broke anC ran from the house across an old field and would stop every 25 o1 30 feet and fire at the off cers lAs he ran bullet struck him ir the back of the neck and brought |him down. As he fell his gur fell under him and when the officers got to him he was dead.
 The body was loaded into 2 wagon and brought to Brickells Undertaking Establi shment.
 On examination it was founc that 8 or 10 bullets had per | forated Gamers body.
 The gun used by the ''bae iman" was an army repeating rifle of terrific power and size He was in the habit of carrying lit slung over his shoulders ane 1 was never seen without it.

colored, has been arrested and placed
in the county jail by Sheriff T. c.
Num-, on the authority of the officers
OF Denton County, where Williams
was sentenced to six years in the

PRESIDENT WILSON WROTE TO
TWO LITTLE BELGIAN FRIENDS
Sent Letter in Response to Heartfelt
Thanks Of Hungry Tots for Bread.

tBy Associated Press.l
Washington, March 23.-An ex-
change Of letters between President
Wilson and two little Belgians in
Brussels was made known Monday
at the White House. The children,
twins, years old, wrote as follows;
Dear Mr. Wilson-Thank you very
much for the good bread. The poor
people of our villages were starving,
for they had nothing to eat; but now
that you have sent over to our dear
little country a big provision Of
wheat, both rich and poor can live
thanks to the Americans.
BEST love and wishes from little
PUSSY DESPoELBERCH."
Pussy's brother added the following
note:
81 join in with my sister in thank
ing you, too, for It is jolly good bread,
enough to satisfy any school boys
hunger"
In reply the President sent the fol-
lowing letter in his own handwriting:
my Dear Little Friends-Your let
ter touched me very deeply and |
thank you for It with all my heart.
It makes me very happy to think that
what generous Americans have done
to relieve the hunger and distress in
your country has brought you the help
you needed and given you a little
happiness in the midst Of these terri
BILE days OF war. hope that you will
grow up to be strong to do the work
that will have to be done in the days
of peace that are coming. 1t would
be a great pleasure to me II some day
might see you both when those hap
pier times have come. Your sincere
friend, WOODROW WILSON"

A CORRECTION.

In the report OF the basketball
game Of Saturday afternoon between
the Bryan high school girls and the
Harvey girls, which was published
yesterday, The Eagle stated that this
was the third consecutive defeat Of
the high school by the Harvey girls.
This was an error, as the game Satur-
day was only the second game Of the
season between the two teams.

SPECIAL train TO THE
ST. PAUL CONVENTION
EQUITY SOCIETY BOOSTERS ARE
PREPARING TO STORM THE
MEETING-BIG PROBLEMS TO
BE CONSIDERED.

All producers, distributors and con-
sumers Of farm products are cordially
invited to attend the big Farmers
Equity convention, to be held on De-
cember 7, 8 and 9, at the Auditorium
at ST. Paul. Ten thousand delegates
will attend.
The farmers open market and ter
minal elevator at St. Paul, a farmers
packing plant for North Dakota, and
other big vital cooperative movements
will be discussed at the convention.
Local Equity boosters are expecting
to run a special train from Minot,
leaving the Great Northern depot at
4:25 p. m. on the afternoon of De-
cember 6. All those expecting to at
tend the convention are requested to
telephone 255, or write or call at the
offices of the Farmers Rural Credit
Association, Express Block, Minot, N.
D., for reservations at special rates.
Mayors of Cities and Villages Invited.
St. Paul is just being aroused to the
immensely Of this convention The
mayor of the city. Mr.. Winn Powers,
has caught the inspiration and impe-
tus OF the movement, and has volun-
tarily offered all the assistance within
his power and the machinery of his
office. as well as the cooperation of
the city officials to make this conven-
tlon one long to be remembered in
the annals Of the Equity movement.
He has already put some of his office
force upon special invitations which
are being sent out to every Mayor of
every city and town in the entire
Northwest This invitation asked
these men to be present at this con-
vention, and to receive the hospitality
of the Sanity City. 1t has proposed
to banquet the entire delegation of
mayors, and to give them the best
time they ever had while in office 1t
is earnestly hoped by the city admins
tration that the mayors of the north
west will take advantage of this ex-
cellent opportunity to not only visit
the convention, but to visit the Equity
Exchange, to find out something Of
, its inside workings and to get ac-
quainted with it's object and purposes
and to visit the Sanity City and par
take of her kind hospitality.

any price acts as reservoir to sup
ply future demands.

ply future demands.
What is needed in the great north
west more than anything else, and
practically the only thing that will do
any good, is terminal elevators, where
wheat can be stored, and money bor-
rowed to take care of the farmers
bills while the wheat was in storage.
This would not decrease the cost of de-
livery from the field to the dominate
market but it would put some of the
profit of the speculator into the pock-
cts of the grower.
Elevator firms with eastern credit
can afford to buv and store in the
country elevators but farmers eleva-
tors, without the advantage of cheap
money, cannot afford to build storage
houses and put the real money into the
wheat simply for the advantage of
the carrying charge. However, if all
farmers elevators would join and
build terminal elevators Of suffic-
lent capacity, no doubt but what mon
ey cheap enough to carry this wheat
on, could be secured.
AS synopsis, the price of wheat is
governed by the supply and demand at
the dominate market of the world at
Liverpool. The way to get more mon
ey for the wheat in the field, is to les
sen the cost of transportation to this
dominate market. This can only be
done by cutting freight rates, or com
missions, or elevator charges. The
way to keep from being compelled to
sell when the supply of wheat in the
market is the greatest is to have
storage facilities either on the farm
or elsewhere, to clean, store and grade
grain, so that all possible profit can be
made to the grower.
After all has been said, it seems to
me that the individual elevator on the
fam answers all Of these questions
the best of all.
Respectfully submitted,
F. w. BISBEE.
