LIGHTNING BOLT
 DESTROYS BARN

A bolt of lightning during yester- days storm set fire to large barn belonging to Hiram w. Ravens, two miles southeast of Wooster, yester- day afternoon, causing a loss of $500 or more. The lightning struck the roof of the barn, firing a large quan- tity of hay in the loft and the flames spread so quickly that only the live stock could be removed. Mr. Ravens lost about 400 bushels of corn, 150 bales of hay, four tons of fertilizer which he had just hauled out from Conway and considerable amount of harness, etc. His misfortune is in- creased by the fact that he has been confined to his bed on account of ill., ness for the past month.

536 ARE LIABLE
 FOR S1RffI DUTY IN CITY OF CONWAY
City Marshal Piercey Also Locates 98 Dogs in Special Census
 of the City.

Five hundred and thirty-six males between the ages of Is and 45 years live in the city of Conway and are liable to five days labor or pay $4 in cash in lieu of work, according to a special census just completed by City Marshal J. R. Piercey. The mar shal also enumerated 98 dogs liable to be taxed.
 If $4 per year were collected from all that the marshal has listed as liable to street duty it would bring $2,l44 into the city treasury. Last years total collections from this source, according to the official re- port recently made by Recorder George Shaw, Jr., were only $547.84
 Of the 536 listed by Marshal Pier cey 426 are white persons and 11C are negroes.
 The marshal also made a list of those keeping hogs within the city limits. This was done at the request of the city board of health, in order that the places where hogs are kept may be visited and inspected.
 Revenues from fines, licenses anc street tax collections in the city of Morrilton during the two years end ing April IT amounted to total of $5,133.45, according to report pub lished in the Morrilton Headlight this week. This amount is several times as great as the revenue from the same sources in the city of Conway. The collections, as reported by Marshal Wells, were as follows: Fines, asses sed by mayor, $1,670.40, collected $1,125.90, outstanding, $544.50; street fund collections, $3,307.40; licenses, $622.15; dog licenses, $98. Recorder Clifton Moose reported city scrip outstanding in general fund, $12,136.- 36; street fund, $807.05.

TEACHERS TURN
 OUT THE LAMBS BUT THEY LINCER NEAR Normal Rests Arkansas in Hard- Hitting Contest Staged on
 PedagOgue's Field.

The State Normal emerged with the bigger end of 12 to 10 score in the opening of a two-game series with Arkansas College of Batesville on the Normal field yesterday after noon. It was a swatfest from the start, with the Pedagogues having the better of the argument.
 Coner Mathews was on the firing line for the Normal. He moved down the opposition until the fourth, when four hits, including a home run by Wood, and two errors, gave the vis- itors five tallies. The Lambs got to Mathews again in the sixth for four more hits and three runs. Barring those innings, the big hurler had things going his way.
 Coach Quigley sent Fay Wood, re- nowned spitball artist, to the hill for the Batesville aggregation. Wood has been barred from association games by the Arkansas Athletic As sociation on account of receiving mon ey for playing ball. He was unable yesterday to get his splitter to break just right, and as result he was hit to all corners of the field. Every body but Mathews and Dodson con nected safely with his offerings.
The log cabin Democrat., 1916-04-21

Captain Blondy Goza starred in this particular, getting single, a double and a triple in four times at bat.
 Although his pitching was not as effective as he hoped it would be, Wood led the opposition in clubbing the pill. His home run, the ball go- ing far over Center Fielder Moore's head in the fourth inning, counted three runs. In the sixth frame his single to right brought in two more runs. He was walked once and re- ceived base on balls. The fifth time up he went out, short to first.
 The Teachers earned seven runs and the Lambs two.
 The final game of the series is be- ing played this afternoon. Purviance is scheduled to pitch for Arkansas and Dowdy for the Normal. Arkan- sas will return tonight to Batesville.

BROTHER WOULD
 RFARREST WILSON TO KEEP HIM IN JAIL
Marion Wilson Swears Out Warrant Against Huie, Who Shot and
 Killed MariOn's Son.

That his brother, Marion Wilson, father of Bolton Wilson, killed by Huie Wilson, will endeavor to have Huie re-arrested and returned to jail should he be released on bond was in- |dicated yesterday afternoon when Marion made an affidavit for a war rant before Justice Elias Kuykendall,
 charging Huie with murder in the first degree. Under habeas corpus
 proceedings before County Judge J. w. Holt Wednesday afternoon, Will son was admitted to bail in the sum
 Of $2,5O0. This has not yet been pro- vided, but it is stated that several
 have agreed to sign the bond and it
 will be furnished within day or
 two.
 Whether or not Huie Wilson could
 be re-arrested and remanded to jail
 after being released under habeas
 corpus proceedings is legal question
 over which there will doubtless be
 controversy. Wilson was committed to jail by J. J. Fortson, justice of the
 peace of Wilson township, who acted
 as coroner and held the inquest over Bolton Wilson's body. He has never had formal preliminary hearing be-
 fore justice of the peace.
 Marion Wilson did not ask for the issuance of another warrant against
 Mrs. Ida Wilson, Huie's wife, who is charged with being an accessory to the murder, and whose bond was fix
 ed by Judge Holt at $1,000.

 ELECTRIC LIGHT POLE

Losing control of his Ford car while coming south on Clifton street last night, L. B. Atkeison drove the machine against an electric light pole on the Prince street corner with such force that the pole was snapped in two near the top, as if it had been struck by lightning. Mir. Atkeison, however, was uninjured and the car was only slightly damaged. He stated that he was driving only about 12 miles an hour, but that something went wrong with his steering gear.

mr.. AND MRS. BIGGS
HOME FROM The EAST

Mr. and Mrs. c. A. Biggs accompa-
MED by their son. Clyde, of Grand
Junction, returned to Canon City last
Saturday night from five or six
weeks trip through the east, during
which they attended the marriage of
James d. Biggs to Miss Tweedy at
Danbury, Connecticut, on June 22nd.
Following the wedding Mr.. and Mrs.
Biggs Sr., spent some time in New
York City and Ashbury Park. New
Jersey; returning later to Danbury
for a visit with Mr.. and Mrs. Tweedy
parents of the bride. Mr.. and Mrs.
Biggs Jr., motored through the Berk-
shire hills on their honeymoon trip.
AT the conclusion of their stay in
Danbury, which, by the way, is town
of about $4,000 inhabitants, sixty-five
miles from New York. Mr.. and Mrs.
Biggs Sr., and son, Clyde. made a
trip through northern New England
and Canada. visiting Montreal, Tor
onto and other places of interest in
the latter country. They returned to
the United States via Detroit, where
they visited for a day or two. Chicago
was also scheduled for short visit
on the homeward run.
Mr.. Biggs says the weather was
everywhere remarkably cool and de-
lightful and that nowhere. except for
a short time in Chicago and Detroit,
did he suffer any discomfort from
the heat. Unusual rains in the Miss
issippa valley states during the last
two or three months have resulted in
a backward condition of all kinds oi
farm crops. according to Mr.. Biggs,
and corn in Illinois and adjoining
states is only about knee high. Wea.
ther conditions, however, are improv.
ing. he says. and with plenty of sun.
shine from this on corn win make a
fair crop.
The war spirit is strong in Canada
according to Mr.. Biggs. and every.
where one goes he sees soldiers being
trained for the trenches in Europe
There are hundreds of thousands OF
men undergoing military training in
Canada and patriotism is at a high
pitch if indications count for anything.

CANNING DEMONSTRATION
WAS LARGELY ATTENDED

The attendance at the canning dem.
onstrations by Prof Vaplon here last
week showed that women of Fremont
county are anxious to know the latest
word in canning vegetables.
The best method of canning vege-
tables is the ones that keeps the
vegetables best. The latest and sim
plest method is the cold pack" call
ed cold pack because the vegetables
are put into the jars before cooking.
All vegetables are canned alike,
says Prof. Vaplon. The first requi-
site of good canning is fresh vege-
tables. Vegetables should be pick
ed but an hour or TWO before they
are canned. After picking washing
and preparing the vegetables for
jars they are dipped into scalding
water for two or three minutes. This
process is called "blanching," it sets
the color and shrinks the vegetables.
After blanching dip Immediately in.
to cold water and then pack neatly
into jars adding one teaspoon of salt
and hot water to fill the jar.
Procure good jars. good jar is one
that does not permit any air to enter
the Jar after it is canned. Not that
the air spoils the product but the
germs in the air. Use new clean
rubbers, get new ones every year.
After putting the vegetables into
the jars they are then boiled for two
or three hours, two hours for beans
or peas and three for corn.
II is the simplest and best method
known for canning vegetables. for de-
tails of the process write a postal tc
your County Agent, at Canon City.
