Strong Tone Continues.

While there was very little trading
the market continued to display
strong tone throughout the session up
TO the end of the second hour of the
afternoon.
the limited trading was taken by many
to indicate that the short interest was
large and that the bears did not care
to make any further commitments
ON that side, unless. developments ia
rored them. There was some covering
of contracts but most of the trading
seemed to be purchases for specialists in
sugars, automobile and oil stocks, these
being the favorites and the strongest
spots.

calendar year is so cents per horse
power, and the fee on those which
were licensed last year is 10 cents
per horsepower.
There is no chance to escape pay
ment of the license, and "the quicker
it is paid the better" according to
highway department officials. A car
might escape taxation for several
years, but when it is finally located
by the department it will be subject
to the tax for each of the years IL has
escaped with the penalty added.
One June 10 several men will be
sent out by the department to round
up the delinquents and see that they
pay the tax. The penalty collected on
delinquents reverts to the treasury or
the county in which it is collected.
Payment of the license fee already
is past due, but the department has
not been insisting upon payment of
the money because of the rush of
business and the fact that consider
able delay was experienced early in
the year in getting tags, application
blanks and other supplies.

Deputy Sheriff f. II. Quinn. Chief of
Police Coy Gregg of Fayetteville, and
a posse consisting of Buck RatcliiI
county. The capture was made Fri
day morning near Baldwin, six miles
east of Fayetteville. The officers
and posse slipped up on owen and
had him surrounded so that he could
make no resistance and he surrender

he fed to the woods. Mrs. Morgan
fingered four hours. She was a widow
with five small children and is al
legged to have resisted owens eff
forts to have her wed him.
II is said that he was jealous of
another mans attentions to the wild
ow. Sheriff davidson says he had
trailed Owen for more than four hun
dred miles, travelling seventy-five
miles through and over mountains
in this state. He located his quarry
at $50 Friday morning quarter of
mile east of Baldwin, having been
on his trail all night.
Friday morning Davidson telephon-
ed Sheriff Mack Morton for assistance
and the officers and posse set out
in haste for the scene of the capture.
After surrendering to the officers
owen said he did not care what be-
