court at Fort Smith, as required of eight others.
 In regard to the matter of trial of Bob Harkey, it is right and proper to state that the Prosecuting Attorney stated in his address before the iurv that he had found no evidence what ever against his father, J. A. Harkey of Hatton, nor his brother, John liar key, at the same place, and that both had rendered him every assistance possible in law enforcement, and stamping out slackerism.
 Secret Service Men Used.
 In the trying of the several cases resulting from the tragedy in which Charles Kirkland was killed, a great deal of valuable information was se- cured by Prosecuting Attorney Du- Laney, who had previously procured secret service men to work in the ter ritory affected in order to clear up the situation. This was just after the Daffrons had killed A. D. Boat ner near Grannis. When D. Hoyle turned in information with reference to the situation west of Hatton, the prosecuting attorney called in gov ernment secret service agents who. under his direction, obtained the in- formation as to the secret order, the W. c. U., which was very valuable in prosecution in the several trials. It has developed that Ben Caughron was an organizer and after organizing lodges in Oklahoma, came to Polk county, west of Hatton, and was try ing to organize lodge there when apprehended.
 Two Branches of the Order.
 It now appears that there are two branches of the so-called or der, first the "Red Flag the mem bers of which are to hide in the brush and to do fighting, and second. the so-called "Jones Family" to go about and secure food and informa- tion from towns nearby. The same condition existed around Rocky as that west of Hatton. A lodge of the secret order had been instituted by it's original promoter, Dr. LeFevers, whose headquarters is said to be at Van Buren and Fort Smith, and who had quit the l. W. W. because it would not admit negroes to mem bership. The "Worling Class Union" allows negroes to membership The prosecuting attorney has a copy of it's constitution, also a membership card in his possession. Its object is to assist slackers and prevent men be- ing registered into service; secret oath binds it's members to resist unto death being apprehended by any off cer and ascribes severe penalties for making public anything as to the or der.
 At this term of Circuit court every man indicted has not only been ap- prehended, but all convicted and sen- tenced except the eight men who were allowed first to appear before the Federal court, and who will later be sentenced.
