 The Abysma Brute
 Less hysterical yesterday than when she first narrated the horrible crime committed by Daley to the authorities, Mrs Gibson told Deputy Sheriff Sam Barrett many details that gave evi- dence, although none was needed. of the utter brutality of the man who murdered her husband and then com mitted criminal assault upon her. She stated that the morning after the night of horrors Daley had searched through her husbands effects and with the ra- zor of the man he murdered proceeded to shave his mustache. Then he re- moved ais clothes which he replaced with those of the dead man.

 The Chase is On
 It was seconds rather than minutes before the crowd, numbering many of the most respected men in the com munity, sensed what was going for ward. Filling into autos at least 100 and. perhaps, more of the men who were leading the movement for justice at a ropes end or worse, started after the flying official auto. Nearly all of the men in the mad chase were armed they meant business.
 Out Adams street raced the cars, the sheriffs machine leading with a trail of autos like the tail of a kite, behind. It was such a speeding as was never before seen in the valley-not the old-time chase on horseback with swinging saddle ropes. grim reminders of what was to come. but the pitting of steel and motor against steel.

 Through Tempe rushed the race. Through Mesa, by midnight, whirled the cars in a cloud of dust. At Mesa the occupants of the leading car shouted that they were but little way behind the wanted man but the car never paused in it's wild dash.
 Others joined in the chase as the train of autos pushed towards Florence, until the road was a literal mass of racing machines, all drivers bent upon the one end-an example such as des- ert demons would never forget.
 And all the while at Florence was gathering the expectant mob-waiting waiting.
 Mob Visits Jail
 At midnight 800 or more men-and not Q few women-Visited the county jail in quest of the murderer. Men had been gathered in knots about the streets all evening talking of a lynching bee but if was midnight before they ad- Vanced on the jail itself.

Flax, both for fiber and seed,
can be made very profitable crop
in the south, as | know from my
own experience.
"There are in the South untold
millions Of acres of idle lands
waiting to be utilized.
In the matter Of cultivation,
land can be plowed and harrow
ed with tractors and must be
made as smooth as possible, so
that the fax will grow an even
length, and when harvested it can
be cut closer with the reaper and
thus secure longer straw. Reap
and bind with machinery and take
the whole, straw, seed and all,
~-irect to a retting mill, where the
grower will be paid cash for his
seed and straw. No extra hand
labor is needed. If for any reason
pulled straw 81 needed, plenty of
young colored help, male and fe-
male, are ready to pull it. Seed
will always be wanted and will
pay for all expenses of raising,
and the fiber will be very profit
able to the farmer as cash crop
the year round.
