Safe In Jail, the Alleged Assailant OF
Miss Engelhardt Will be Work
ed Out to a Finish BY
the Police.
WILL CHECK HIS STORY
His Bertiilon Details will be Sent
Broadcast to Ascertain Whether
He Has Any Criminal REQ
ord In. the Past

The limelight of pitiless police
methods will be turned on William
Grimes, who will be kept in jail
safely while every detail of his past
life, and his story to the police n
county attorney is checked up and
the evidence against him arranged
perfectly for his trial at a future
term of the district court.
Deputy Sheriff Montgomery is taxi
ing advantage OF the fine facilities
at the ~penitentiary to have Grimes
measured and finger printed by Ber-
ltiIlon methods and his photograph
taken. This will fix his identity
absolutely, and the data will be sent
broadcast to ascertain whether he
has any criminal record before his
career here.
His story will also be checked up
in every detail, and since it is a long
one involving scores of towns and
cities and employers, this will be a
big Job.
Case VIII Be Well Prepared.
His trial in the district court can
not occur until after he is indicted
at the next session of the grand jury
here, and not until the next term of
court after that, unless he expedites
the trial himself.
This will give plenty of time to
prepare the case against him IN
every detail and present all the per
tinent facts to the jury, unless the
investigation elsewhere breaks down
his own story SO that he will plead
guilty.
ute S+ror0ae+ defense Is the alfbi
his negress friends give him, but
this is to be combed out thoroughly
also, and If they lie, they will be
prosecuted vigorously themselves for
assisting him, which itself is a peni-
Tertiary offense. If his alibi holds
water permanently, there may be
some difficulty in convicting him.
The whole state of facts presents a
good deal Of a puzzle at this early
date.

Dependable
and
Economical

The Universal Pipeless fur.
mace is a complete heating
system sold as a single unit,
and at a single price-no ex-
tras. 1t derives its name
"Pipeless" from the fact
that there are no overhead
pipes to convey the heat to
the different rooms. Instead.
it has a single register
above the furnace, which
provides both the outlet for
warm air and intake for
cold air.
The theory Of using long
pipes to convey the heat to
different parts Of the build
ing has been proven unnec-
essary. According to natu-
raj law. heat travels upward
aud the Universal Pipeless
is built to conform with the
law of nature.
Where long pipes are used
Ian expensive method) the
law Of nature has been vto-
lated and the result will be
a terrific loss Of heat in the
basement, where 1t is not
needed. When a pipeless
furnace is installed a cool
basement is always as
sured, due to the fact that
the entire furnace is sur.
rounded by a cold air cham

 The term TeutOn~is of Latin origin. in ancient times the part of Europe now embraced in Germany was called Germania, and one of the principal tribes of the country was called by the civilized Romans Teutons, just as we speak of the Apache Indian. Being a fierce and warlike people they gave the Romans great deal of trouble, and xs they were the doiainant tribe of that region the name of Teutons gradually came to be applied to all the people oc. cupying what was called Germania.

MAN KILLED AT IDABEL
Cause of Shooting Is Not Known; Was
 Shot by Marvin Sawyer.

Idabel, July 19.-Friday night about 1O:15 o'clock, Marvin L. Sawyer, son of Mr. and Mrs. c. l.. Sawyer, of this city, met J. M. Cobb near the home OF Y B. Bledsoe and not one knows what words passed, or that trouble was brewing until three shots from an au. tomatic pistol was heard. Only one shot took effect, the ball entering MT. Cobb's body just under the right nip- pie and made its exit about three inch> es from the back bone on the right side.
 MT. Cobb was carried into the home of Jim Morgan, who lives near the scene of the shooting, by H. H. Chris. tian and Guy Old, who were going home from town and were near the scene of the shooting. Medical aid was summoned and at this hour he is resting easy with slight chances of his recovery. Sawyer was immediately arrested by City Marshal E. E. Ep- person and placed in the county jail. Cobb is brother-inlaw of Sawyer, marrying Sawyer's sister few months ago, and separation be> tween them was the probable cause of the trouble.

LARGE SUGAR CROP
Department of Agriculture Predicts .
 Yield of 2,216, 900 Pounds.

Washington, July 20.-While retail dealers throughout the country are advising consumers they have difficult ty in obtaining normal stocks of sugar the government has forecast a domes- tic crop for above the average for the last six years. +
 The Department of Agriculture in an estimate based on July l crop con- ditionss predicts crop of 2,216,O0O,- 900 pounds.
 Such production would be 147 7,0OO.- 900 pounds more than the average of the preceding six years.
 The beet sugar forecast this year is higher than the record crop ol 1915-16 by nearly 75,0OO tons, but this cane sugar crop of this year is almost 100000 tons below the average of the six years. The sugar beet acreage this year is a record one.
 In recent years the cane sugar crop usually has been about one-fourth of the total can and beet sugar produc- ed in the United States, but this year the prospect is that it will be only about one-seventh,
