ILLINOIS ELOPERS
We'd IN JACKSON
Permission Of Parents of Young
Couple Necessary Before
License 10 Issued.

Forest Sweany and Miss Josephine
Stick, Of Chester, ILL.,, eloped to Jack
son yesterday and were married BY
Justice of the Peace Putt after the
father of the youthful bridegroom had
given his consent to the marriage and
presented the consent of the parents
of the young girl.
The young couple arrived in Jack
son two days ago and attempted to
procure a license from Recorder of
Deeds Siemers. He, however, refused
to issue the document because of the
youthful appearance of the young
girl. When the bridegroom saw that
his funds were getting very low, he
wired his father for money.
In response to the message the
father paid an unexpected visit to his
runaway son. After long confer
ence, the son finally succeeded in per-
suading the father to give his consent
to the marriage. When the girls par
ents, who live in Chester, We're COM
municated with and gave their con-
sent, the ceremony was performed.
The young couple left Jackson i'm
mediately after the marriage. The
bridegroom, whose father is employ
ed in the railroad shops at Chester
H., is Is years old, and his bride is
one year his junior.

6IILK IN WINTER

Why do your COWS give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does not supply
them with grasses and green food.
But we have come to the assistance
of Dame Nature with 2. A. Thomas
Stock Remedy which contains the very
ingredients that the green feed sup
plies in season, only of course, in a
more highly concentrated form. We
guarantee that this remedy will make
your cows give more milk, and better
milk, with the same feed.

DUTCHTOWN FUED
Is NOW In COURT
Roy Rhodes First to be Tried
in Stabbing ARRAY Last
Summer.

John Enderle, star witness in the
trial against Roy Rhodes, was yester-
day arrested by Sheriff Hutson. He
is to answer'a charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons for which Mayor Rage
issued q warrant last December. En-
derle was released on bond furnished
by several friends who were attending
the trial, which is being held at the
Circuit Court in Jackson.
The trial against Roy Rhodes is q
sequel to free-for-all fight at a pic
mic in Dutchtown, Aug. S, last,
when Rhodes and his two brothers,
Grove rand Lester, engaged in a cut
ting ARRAY with Enderle and August
Martin and Henry VESSEL, all of
Dutchtown. Mrs. Martha Rhodes,
mother of the three brothers, was
Jointly charged with felonious assault,
but the case against her and her other
two sons will be heard later.
When the trial was called sever
anee was asked by Harry E. Alex
snder, who is defending the three
Rhodes brothers, and the separate
trials were granted. They will be
heard later.
Enderle, in testifying before Judge
Kelley yesterday, related the details
Of the fight. He said he was attacked
by Roy Rhodes, and the two brothers
came &c Roy's assistance, He drew
his knife in self-defense. The Yves
sci brothers, he said, rescued him
from his assailants.
All the participants of the ARRAY
were more or less badly cut during the
fight. They were treated by physi-
can. Mrs. RHODES was also cut. She
contended at the time that she had
merely attempted to act as peace
maker and was slashed by one of the
side. She was Jointly charged
with her three sons with felonious as
sault.
Several witnesses for the defense
testified that Enderle tried to borrow
a gun before the fight started. Sew
eral more witnesses will be heard to-
day, and the case will then be given
to the jury.
A heated argument arose between
the Judge and the prosecuting attor-
ney when court convened, when the
latter asked for a delay for the pro-
ceedings until the witness arrived.
The prosecuting attorney called the
Judges attention TO the fact that the
roads were almost impossible and that
the arrival of the witnesses was de-
aged by the heavy snow.
It is thought that in any event the
outcome Of the trial against Roy |
Rhodes will have a bearing on the |
,harges against the two brothers and
lis mother. The jurors for the trial
are: Fritz Moeller, Adolph Zschille,
Leo Schaper, J. u. Randol, A. ].
Nick Harness, Ben Phelps, A.
<. ". Sprengel. J. D. Wissman,
4dolph Rudert, J. W. Rien1an and

The case against Enderle will be

ie has been given the usual prelin-
nary hearing before q justice Of the
'eaee. Several witnesses appeared

Because OF the teamwork and Co

IMP PROvED FARMING
METHODS EVIDENT
Diversity of Crops and Fall
Flowing Is Followed by
Eastside Farmers.

MUSKOGEE, Okla. Sept 22-(Spe-
cial )--Eastern Oklahoma is coming to
the front agriculturally, according to
J. NJ. Daily, recently appointed county
agent
Although the greater part Of the land
is titled by tenant farmers, they are
improving in their methods, and, better
still, are making an honest effort to
learn the things the government agents
are seeking TO teach them.
For the first time, there is wholesome
evidence OF fall plowing. many OF the
farmers being already at work prepsr-
ing their fields for next year. They
are also learning to diversity their
crops, Mr.. Daily said, and more feed
crops, such as milo and kafir, have
been grown in eastern Oklahoma thi,
year than ever before
The corps this season have been ex-
ceptionally good, with the exception Of
cotton. The oat crops were at least
IS percent above normal, wheat was
easily normal corn perhaps Just a
shade below and other smaller crops
far above the average, Cotton, how
ever, has suffered heavily through the
army worm In some fields 30 per-
cent Of the crop already has been de-
stroyed
No one knows where the worm comes
from, Mr. Daily said Often a wind
will bring the "mllers" to a locality
and as each miller" lays 800 eggs
which hatch in three week, their pres
ence soon becomes a plague
