A NEW INDUSTRY
FOR OHIO COUNTY
Coal Mine to Be Opened at Gen.
tertOwn Within Next Two
Months.

After quite nice talk by Mr.. L.
c. Morton, to a good crowd of ladies
and gentlemen, the first shovel OF
dirt was lifted by Mr.. Morton Thurs
day afternoon about 1 o'clock. that
means the starting in Ohio county of
another large coal mine.
Mr.. Morton was followed by a
splendid talk by Mr.. Alvin Rowe, the
Centeltown banker.
Three shifts of men, working eight
hours each, are busily engaged in
getting the mine ready for operation,
and it is thought that within two
months coal will be dug from it.
: Architect Kelley, who has had
charge of installing the machinery,
etc, says that when ready for opera
ton the mine will be one of the most
modern and up-to-date he has ever
installed.
The surveying for the pond will
begin in the next few days, and that
of the survey for the railroad switch
will begin in q few weeks.
The opening Of the mine will be
a great boost Cor the hustling little
city of Centertown, as well as for the
entire county of Ohio, and we are al
ways glad to note new enterprises
that are put on foot within our bor-
ders.
The mine is. located on the farm of
Mr.. P. o. Mckinney. who will be
president of the company operating

sign their names. These are not con-
fined to any locality but are scattered
throughout every county in the
State. They are not colored, but
mainly white.

cording to announcement today by
United States Disetrict Attorney
Clay Allen. The men will be intern

Attorney General Gregory, at my
request, authorized the internment of
all German enemies who We're affil-
lated with, or have taken part in, any
movement or plan seeking to bring

"My conception of the rule is that
this will apply and reach any alien
enemy who establishes a record of
unreliability either in residence or
employment. 1t is apparent that this
is not the time for !. w. WIS and
their kind to be shifting around
from place to place. They must seek
employment and keep it, if they are

are unreliable is circumstance suf-
serious at this time to war;

While Olga Fiordiand toiled overtime at downtown laundry, the dead body of her husband Chris Fiordland, lay in an arm chair in the front room of their humble home at 1884 West Fill more street, a self inflicted wound in the chest showing through the dead mans partly opened shirt. Weary from her day of toll, the faithful wife, who had watched over her sick husband by night and worked by day. in order that they might have a roof over their heads, returned home at 6:30 o'clock last evening to make the discovery that in her absence the man she loved and taken his own life by sending bullet crashing tinto his body Newcomers in Phoenix, the man i'll and the woman obliged to work. they were comparatively strangers in the neighborhood in which they had lived but one or two weeks. Few people were aware of the true condition of affairs They knew only that the wOm- an had brought her husband to Ari- zona from Redlands, Cal, hoping that the climatic advantages might result in his recuperation from the inroads of tuberculosis.
 About 4:30 o'clock yesterday after noon q shot was heard by several people living in the vicinity of the Fiordland home. Some thought it was the bursting of an automobile tire. Others gave little further thought to the incident When Mrs. Fiordland ran from the little house and told neighbors that her husband was dead. these neighbors recalled having heard a shot. Coroner DeSouZa impanelled a jury, consisting of A. c. Buck, A. H. Mitchell s. P. Shackelford, R. L. Hutchins, F. E. Quick and L. A. Reyn- olds.

WITNESS TELLS
 IT KILLING IF
 AMANDA BUTTS
Death of Child of Juror Delays Trial of Ethel Butts Until Wednesday; Evidence Is Introduced

Death If a few days old baby, the son of Juror C. H. Sweat, will halt the murder trial of the 'prettiest defen- dant" Mrs. Ethel Butts, until Wednes- day. Word came to Judge Stanford during the afternoons recess yesterday that the son of Mir. Sweat. born last Friday. had passed away. His release from jury duty until arter the funeral was asked and rather than proceed with eleven jurors or reviewing the ease up to date. the court excused all twelve men until tomorrow morning when the case will be resumed at S:30 o'clock.
 After outlining what he hoped to prove for the state, County Attorney l.. M Laney in his opening statement to the jury declared slat from the evil deu,c he would show in refutation of insanity he expected the jury to return a verdict of murder in the first de- grce Briefly he went over the circum- stances that lead to the arrest of Mrs. Ethel Butts for the murder of her Sister-i law, Mrs Amanda Butts, at the C. R. Green ranch, seven miles southwest of Phoenix. on the evening oi. April 2S. His story of the shooting which he declared he would prove, was to the effect that Mrs. Ethel Butts had gone to the cook shack where her sis law was employed to borrow flat irons. She had taken them in one hand and after the screen door had closed between the two women the young wife If Floyd Butts had raised her other hand and. pointing a six shooter at Mrs. Amanda Butts, had rla hoa fh oh had rushed to the scene to administer to his wife's injuries. Floyd Butts had arrived at the shack in the meantime and in his excitement had cried Ethel did not do 1t" and the wife had said, Yes 1 did and 1 shot to kill"
 Roscoe Kessler, an 1S-year-Old boy, said to be the only eye witness to the tragedy, was the first witness called by the state. Young Kessler under direc; examination told practically the same story as outlinA.: by the state. lie stated that immediately after the shooting Floyd Butts had said to his wife Darling you didn't do that and she had replied that she had and that she had meant to do so. Kessler stated that he had tried to relieve Amanda Butts suffering and that as he stopped over her bathing her face she had l.lis taken him for her husband.
 Charlie, Ethel asked me for the irons and then shot me" Kessler testi- lied that the injured woman said:
 Yes, 1 know she did, was his reply.
 He then told how he had inotored to town with the injured woman and her husband. taking Mrs. Butts to St Joseph's hospital where she died two weeks later.
 The cross examination failed to break the major portion of the youths testimony although he contradicted himself m few minor points He confessed that he was horribly fright ened after the shooting and several details escaped his attention. He failed 10 remember his conversation with Mrs. Amanda Butts with whom he was chatting when Mrs. Ethel Butts ap- peared on the scene

Charles being the foreman and Floyd the teamster Mrs. Amanda was the cook and Mrs. Ethel aided Mrs. Green in her housework. She recalled dis tintcly the day of the shooting and said that noon Ethel aac cried and she overheard her husband say to her what did 1 buy you to protect your self with?" At the supper table that evening she had heard Ethel say she was going for the irons and Mrs. Green had said she could go if they were neeued.
 Mr Green, the next witness, had hastened to the cook snack when he heard the shot and the injured woman had told him to look out for his cattle or that Ethel Butts would shoot them some day. For some little time, he said, he had noted that there was a misunderstanding between the families and that hard feeling existed.
 After MT. Greens testimony the court took the afternoon recess.
 The court room was crowded. There were rows of additional chairs placed along the aisles for the many women who were in attendance at both the morning and afternoon sessions. Some came an hour in advance in order to secure a view of the central figures in the trial. More than one sent sympa- thetic glances toward the young de- fendant and stopped to caress the two months old baby in her arms. In need of rest the little one was placed or the floor in an improvised bed com posed of a downy pillow and soft pink blanket that covered all but his head. A tiny hand was waved occasionally and at every move and every baby cry the mother was there to give the little comforting pat that brought peace and quiet.
