WOMEN DON TROUSERS AND HOLDUP RELATIVES

PORTLAND, Dec. 20.-Inspired to heroics by mystics who told them they were heiresses to a $15O,0OO,00G Dutch estate under a 200-year-old will alleged to be in the possession of distant relatives, Misses Pearl Horn CT, 30, Ambia Horner, IT, and their sister, Mrs. Ethel Moss, 20, all of Portland, embarked on a series of crimes that caused their arrest here on charge of rioting. They are ac- cused of disgusting themselves as men and of holding up their relatives. MT. and Mrs. Ross Alumbraugh were held up by three men with a revolver at Yamhill. Ore, on the night of No tember 2, who after rummaged their home. One harmless shot was fired when a roomer resisted them.
 The three sisters with Harry Hos ford, Portland, were arrested here. Hosford, 1t is charged, drove the girls to Yamhill.
 Alumbraugh says no will exists and it is but a creation of the girls i'm agination. Two of the girls he said. recently disguised themselves as for tune te2lers, read his palm and told him to give up important papers he held to a Portland lawyer.

Immediately after the purchase Of
the toll roads by the county court on
Wednesday, President James A. Sloan,
Of the Board Of Trade, wired to the

news and expressed the hope that the
williamson county court would follow
suit in July. Should that be done the
last obstacle to the construction Of the
Jackson Military Highway would be
removed.
President Sloan was delighted over
the action Of the court; he was happy
and enthusiastic. Ever since he has
been at the head Of the Board Of Trade
he has worked day and night for free
pixies. The business men of Columbia,

LARGE ATTENDANCE
Of FARMERS URGED
1--we STOCK MEET
CALLED TO CONVENE AT TWO
O'CLOCK ON SATURDAY AT
COURT HOUSE.
TO ARRANGE FOR Big SALE
First Sale OF Pure Bred Beef Cattle
Held In the County In Many Year,
Revival Of interest Because of Splen-
did Profits.

Farmers of the county are called to
meet at the Court House at 2 o'clock
Saturday in one of the most important
meetings that has ever been held here.
The call for the meeting has been is
sued by the Maury County Live Stock
association recently organized. The
chief purpose of the meeting win be
to make all of the final arrangements
for the coming sale of Shorthorn cat.
tie to be made on next Wednesday.
There is probably nothing that more
vitality concerns the farmers Of the
county at this time than the breeding
Of pure bred cattle. They are at last
waking up to the fact that they are
losing more than half the profits from
raising cattle by not having the pure
breds.
The sale next week will be the first
of pure bred beef cattle held here in
many years. There have been sales OF
Jerseys in recent years but none OF
pure bred beef cattle. The fact that
at the recent McCray sale Of Here
fords, seventy-ive head averaged
1928 each, and at the sale Of Cum
berland Shorthorns, two weeks ago,
forty-nine head averaged s1,06S each,
while the famous Cooper Jersey sale
only averaged a little over 5000 per
head, shows how much greater is the
demand for the beef breeds at this
time, due largely to the tremendous
increase in the price Of beef and to
the opening up of the trade between
this country and South America. II
is earnestly desired that there should
be large attendance at the meeting
on Saturday.

SECRETARY MURRAY
PRAISES COURT
SAYS THAT ADDITIONAL COST TO
THE TAXPAYERS WILL 81
INcoNSIDERABLE.

1T was the best days work the
county court ever did," declared James
Joseph Murray, secretary of the state
highway commission, when told We'd
nesday afternoon of the action of the
county court in buying the turnpikes
of Maury county Secretary Murray
was in the city for a few moments
during the afternoon. He was delight
ed at the purchase and said that it
would give renewed impetus to the
movement for good roads. Mr.. Muir
ray suggested that at the next session
of the Legislature the county could
have an enabling act passed provid-
ing for the issuance of long term bonds
to take care Of the purchase Of the
pixies. These bonds, he said, could
easily be floated at four and half
per cent, making the interest charge
on $4,000 only about $4,000. A tax
levy of FIVE cents in this county will
raise about $500, ample to pay the
interest and provide a sinking fund
that in twenty years will retire the
bonds. He said that another increase
of FIVE cents in the levy would be am
pie to maintain the pixies. With a
levy of ten cents upon all property,
bringing in ample revenue to pay for
the pixies, the interest and keep them
up better than they have been the
total cost per annum would be only
$4,000, whereas about $4,000 has
been paid in toll and the county did
not own the roads.

OLD GLORY GIVEN

AWAY CROWD, BUT EXERCISES
WERE APPROPRIATE.
SPLENDID PROGRAM RENDERED
William R. PEBBLES and L. z. Turpin
Orators of the Evening and Acquit

Fine Feature.

On account Of the inclement wealth
er small but appreciative audience
witnessed the exercises given by the
Elks' Lodge in the High school audi
torium Wednesday night in commem-
Grafton of "Old Glory" our National
emblem.
The exercises were appropriate and
beautiful and the unique way in which
the order paid tribute to the Stars
and Stripes was in keeping and COM
pairing with the banner held aloft by
this order of good fellowship. All the
members marched from the club
rooms to the school, in a body and
were seated on the first four rows to
the front. The officers took their re-
spective places on the stage and the
Exalted Ruler announced the first
number on the program, which was a
chorus, THE Star Spangled Banner"
sung by choir of young ladies and
gentlemen, under the dictatorship of
Mrs. Chas. Sharp.
The Introductory exercises were
then given by the Exalted Ruler and
the officers, followed by prayer by
the Chaplain. The Flag record was
read by w. R. PEBBLES. Mr.. PEBBLES
began with the very birth of this
glorious emblem and told of its hard
ships and triumphs up till the pres
ent time.
A song, Keep the Home Fires
Burning" was beautifully rendered by
Miss Mary Cooper Boyd and the Choir
US. The altar services we're conduct
ed by the Esquire and officers. This
particular service was such as to
arouse within every one present, pa
triotism, love for country and the
memories of the past when peace and
freedom had been established in this
fair land and the old Liberty Bell pro-
claimed the tidings far and wide. The
services consisted of the building of
the Liberty Bell in the National colors,
the red roses signifying courage, 10y
atty and devotion, the white lilies,
charity, purity and truth and the blue
yiolets, justice, brotherly love and
fidelity.
L. 2. Turpin was the speaker of the
evening. Mr.. Turpin ably handled his
subject, which was "Elks' Tribute to
the Flag" He told the many reasons
why we should honor and respect this
emblem of peace, freedom and brother
ly love and in beautiful language paid
tribute to Betsy Ross, the brave wo-
man who rudely fashioned the stripes
and the thirteen stars with the blue
field as a background.
The next number on the program
was reading by Miss Eddie Voss.
Miss Voss spoke with feeling and
grace and impressed her hearers as
being finished product in the art OF
expression. She was accompanied on
the piano by Mrs. Ella Kelley, who
softly and exquisitely rendered the
national airs.
America" sung by the members
and audience, concluded the program
and the Exalted Ruler pronounced the
exercises closed.
