VELVET BEANS ARE NOW
BRINGING FAIRLY GOOD PRICES
Crop Is Much Shorter in This Section
Than in Two Years.

Velvet beans are bringing a good
price now, and those who will have
to buy seed this year will find them
scarce.
The crop was much shorter in this
section last year than the year be-
fore, due to the fact that so many
were produced the year before They
became somewhat of drug on the
market and the farmers did not plant
as many last year, and then the
weather was so bad last fall that
many of the beans spoiled in the
fields before they could be picked.
We understand that beans are SELL
ing on the local market at $500
per ton. Select beans for planting,
already shelled, will cost a good deal
more.
The indications now are that the
farmers of Terrell will plant largely
of this valuable crop this year.

FOUGHT ARTILLERY
WITH INFANTRY ARMS
EVERYTHING IN FRANCE FELL
DOWN SAVE RAW MAN POW
Err, SAYS GOV. ALLEN.

WASHINGTON, D. Gov. AL
len, of Kansas, presented to the
house rules committee today evil
dence of officers and men of the
Thirty-fifth (Kansas and Missouri
National Guard) Division which he
declared showed that at times during
the great battle of the Argonne
American troops fought the German
artillery with infantry arms" be-
cause there were not enough horses
to move up the artillery as fast as
the infantry advanced.
There were also times, the COVER
nor said, when shells from the Amer
lean artillery fell into the American
lines, killing and wounding men, due
to the fact that there was "lack of
aircraft to signal change" He add
ed that everything over there fell
down except raw man power, the
Americans fighting with less mechan-
zeal assistance than if they were
troops from Indo-China.
Men Needlessly Sacrificed.
Gov. Allen submitted a mass of
documents, some of them copies of
official reports, in support of his
charges that men were needlessly sac
rifced in driving the Germans beyond
the Mouse, and tomorrow he will ap-
pear before the senate military com
mittee. He explained that his. purpose
was to give the committees evidence
so they could determine the wisdom
of conducting an investigation.
Chairman Pou interrupted the gov
ernOr to say that he believed the evil
dence was but "the forerunner of a
comprehensive inquiry"
Gov. Allen told the committee the
war departments announcement
that major casuals of the Thirty-fifth
division were 1873 was misleading.
He declared all casualties of the di-
vision exceeded 5000, including
LOO dead. Gov. Allen said much of

Old Cobbler Unburied Six Years
While Relative" Fought For Fortune
AGED MISER DIED WITHOUT A
FRIEND, BUT 1900 O'CONNoRs
APPEARED FOR BIG ESTATE.

John O'Connor, cobbler and miser,
who died nearly six years ago in
Hastings, Neb., at last has been bur-
led. The dispute over his fortune has
been settled and the 1900 other
O'Connors who claimed it and dis
turbed the repose of the dead for
years now are silent.
O'ConnOr was a shoemaker and
went to Hastings nearly half a CEN
fury ago and opened a little shop. He
put into farm lands every cent he
could scrape together. Real estate
then worth perhaps S. an acre is now
appraised at SITS. When he died he
left 100000.
The old cobbler was never known
to write or receive a letter. In so
years he never spoke to a woman ex-
cept to tell her the price of his work.
He lived recluse. Dying, he left
neither family nor friends. No will
could be found, so the county officials
took charge of the estate.
Within 48 hours after the story got
into the newspapers there were claim
ants in large numbers O'Connors
seemed to spring from the ground.
The Hastings postoffice handled the
| biggest days business in it's history.
I}Ihe telegraph offices were swamped
with messages. The list of O'Connors
claiming relationship to the dead man
and title to his fortune included men
and women from Canada and half of
| the states.
A dispute then took place over the
funeral. A "son" demanded simple
funeral. A dear brother from
Michigan offered to provide a $500
casket, Perplexed by such a prob
lem, the court decided to postpone
the funeral pending settlement of the
rival claims. Eventually the state of
Nebraska laid claim to the 100000
on the ground that there were no
will and no heir.
But after the case had dragged
through the courts for five wears a
will was found in an old law book in
st. Joseph, Mo. The book had been
the property of Attorney Charles
O'Connor, of that city, who had been
dead for several years. The lawyers
sole heir was his son, Attorney Jas.
b. O'Connor, of Kansas City, Mo.
The will has been recognized as au-
thentic and the disputed estate will
go to the lawyer

.BARRENTINE BROTHERS In
A FATAL SHOOTING SCRAPE
Lee and ODE Barrentine Die From
Wounds Received in Difficulty
With N. o. Gilmer at Coleman.

ODE and Lee Barrentine, two Ran
dolph county citizens who frequent
ly visited Dawson and were we'll
known here, are dead as the result
of difficulty in Coleman a few
days ago.
In an account OF the affair the
Cuthbert acknowledgements says
ODE Barrentine was shot down on
the principal street of Coleman by
N. o. Gilmer. The bullet entered
near the shoulder and ranged around
and lodged in the body, producing
paralysis. Lee Barrentine, a brother,
went to the assistance of the wound
ed man, and it is alleged that he
took the pistol from his brother and
shot Gilmer, the ball entering near
the mouth, ranging around the jaw
bone and coming out just below the
ear, inficting a painful but not nee
essarily serious wound. Gilmer re
turned the shot, the bullet entering
the head, killing Lee Barrentine in
stantly. ODE Barrentine also died
later.
All three are white men. Gilmel
has a wife and several children. ODE
Barrentine was a widower and has
one child. Lee Barrentine was un
married.
1t seems that bad blood had exist
ed between Gilmer and the Barren.
tines and that ODE Barrentine haC
been ordered to keep off of Gilmer's
premises. The two met in Coleman
near the bank, when the tragedy took
place.
Gilmer is in Jail at Cuthbert, and
expects to have a preliminary trial
Wednesday.
