PLANNED TO CAUSE GEN
ERAL UPRISING

That a general uprising in
all states of the union was
planned at the same time the
anto-draft riots occurred in
southern Oklahoma was the
burden of the testimony given
in the anti-draft hearing in the
federal court at Enid, Okla
homa Wednesday.
Witnesses testified that Rube
Munson, state organizer. and
Homer Spense, state secretary
of the Working Glass union,
which they said was directly af-
filiated with the Farmers and
Laborers' Protective organiza
) ton in Texas, had told them
; the organization was $4,000
; strong in Oklahoma and 50,-
600 strong in Texas.
Forty-eight organizations, the
witnesses testified they we're
told, were to join, under the
head of the l. W. W., in a ma
} tion-wide revolution. in which
; were included plans to seize
; small towns, attack cities, loot
; banks, burn bridges and cut
, telegraph wires. Spence, a
, witness said, told the members
: of the union that two carloads
of rifles would be ready for
{ their use.
: Stores we're to be burned, af-
9 ter being looted for provisions,
: according to the plan said to
Z have been outlined. and rail-
9 roads we're to be seized for mo-
{ bilizing the rebellious organiza-
4 tions.
= The uprising was set for
& July 27, witnesses declared.
Z The anti-draft rioters in Sem
+ mole, Hughes and POntotoc
I counties began their raids
4 August 2.
+ Coincident with the inception
= of the riots, Spence was ar
+ rested at Holdenville and his
+ activities are now being inves-
+ tigated by a federal grand jury
+ at McAlester. The arrest of
+ Spence and nearly 500 of his
+ followers effectually ended the
= disturbance.

WHEAT WORTH MONEY.

Martin Garn, Wednesday. de-
livered a load of sacked wheat.
grade No. 3, for which he re-
ceived $193.S5. He has more
at home. This is one of the
largest loads so far received in
American Falls this season.
Jacob Schild on Wednesday
delivered a load of grade 2
) Turkey Red, testing near 81
) pounds, with a one per cent
; dockage, for which he drew
; down $173.75. This wheat was
; near perfect in color, plump,
; and unusually clean. 1t is the
; kind of wheat that ought to be
seeded.
; These loads were larger than
the average, but not very much
larger than many that are COM
ing in. While yields were
smaller than usual this year,
the price being paid offsets the
short crop, and if the total
yield of the county is any
where near the estimate, more
money will be paid for the
; wheat crop than in any former
years.
