one sent Krone was written by the
sane man. Both letters are said to
have been written by an illiterate per-
son and their general trend is said
10 be the same.
Various rumors have been heard in
connection with the arrest of Duncker,
one of which is that he is German
by birth and his activities during the
war are to be investigated,
1t is charged that Duncker came
into the United States as a Mexican
and worked in the fields as Mexican
laborer. According to authorities at
CaleXico he was discovered by Captain
Krone Monday afternion, when sus-
pecting that the man was a German
although he speaks Spanish very well,
CAPTAIN Krone spoke to him suddenly
in German and before he had time TO
collect his thoughts he had answered

He resembles a Mexican and the
deception went undetected until the
present investigation was begun.

CLEARS OVER
$12,5OO IN ONE YEAR

One of the most interesting success
stories of the Westside that has come
to the attention of the Senine was
told this week, in which is is shown
that a renter on 95 acres of land was
able to clean up in a year. without
any investment. more than 81, 800
The name of the man involved is
omitted by request. but he has evil
dence TO prove his figures.
BY growing cotton on 80 acres of
rented land this man produced last
year the round sum of S25, 900, which
is more than twice the selling price of
the land three years ago, when it
changed hands. On the usual basis of
half to the tenant and half to the own
er where everything is furnished, the
tenant received Sl2,500 for his years
work, and the owner receievd a like
sum.
Even then all of the cotton on the
place was not picked, it becoming nee
essary on account of the high cost of
picking and the need of preparing the
land for another crop. 1t is estimated
that several more bales could have been
picked from the field, yielding perhaps
$275 bale
The same land last year. in the
hands of the same tenant, produced
more than $4,000 first cost of the
land-The Seeley Sentinel.

MILITARY INQUIRY SAYS CORK HUNGER STRIKER SUICIDE"
IRepublloan A. p. LeA.ed wIre1

CORK, Oct. 19.-The verdict rendered today by the military court of inquiry into the death of Michael Fitzgerald, the first of the hunger strikers to die in Cork jail. was that the deceased, of sound mind, deliberately caused his own existence to end and did felonious- ly kill himself.
 The governor of the jail testified that Fitzgerald took no food for 6S days. Dr. Pearson, one of the jail physicians. testified that death was due to the gradual cessation of the vital functions caused by pro- longed abstinance from all forms of nourishment.
