CANADIAN WHEAT
 AND FLOUR 10 J. 5.
Imports for First l5 Days in October More Than Three Times Normal Kansas Asks Embargo to
 Stop Flood.

Washington, Nov. 1.--Imports of Canadian wheat and flour during the first 15 days of October were greater than in any corresponding period in the past seven years, the federal commission says in a report today to President Wilson. The report was based on an investigation ordered by President Wilson after he had been asked by Governor Allen of Kansas to place an embargo on wheat imports from Canada.
 The commission found that $950,000 bushels of Canadian wheat and 65,946 barrels of Canadian flour had been shipped into the United States during the first Is days of last month. This was more than three times as large as the shipments in any October in the last seven years, according to the re- port.
 Members of the commission stated that the investigation was being press ed and that all available data was be- ing assembled to give correct repre- sentation of condition bearing on the wheat market.
 Altho no reference was made to the wheat price decline, the unofficial statement was made that the heavy ;;nsiportations from Canada had had an important effect on the market quo- tations.

RECALLED HIS COWBOY DAYS. 4 .wiid' Cow Held No Terrors for a
 Chicago Coal Hauler.

Chicago, Nov. l.--1n the days when east was east and west was west Harry Dixon lived in Phoenix, Ariz., and was happy out there. He rode any thing that boasted four legs and he could drape an artistic lasso over the most "rambunctious" steer.
 Three weeks ago Dixon admitted the end had come. Tailored dudes in Phoenix were looking askance at his leather pants and the town au- thorities uprooted the last hitching post for his cayuse. That mans town was no longer decent abiding place for an hombro who knew 1t as of old.
 So he pulled his freight to Chicago, but the best he could land was job driving coal wagon Today a COW escaped from the stockyards and ran amuck. Persons scurried from the streets, but Dixon snatched rope from the rear of his wagon, made a running moose and threw it over the cow It gathered in all her feet and she went down with a mighty grunt. but in doing so dragged Dixon over. the cobblestones. Fifteen men over whelmed the COW, loaded her in a truck and took her back to the pens. Dixon retrieved his rope, rolled and lighted cigarette and went back to his coal wagon.

Jess Tow Fires Revolver Shots But
 None Hurt.

Revolver shots flied in the business district at an early hour Wednesday resulted in Sheriff J. A. Thornton leaving his bed and coming downtown to make an official investigation. The sheriff found Mena street practically deserted, with but one lone man stand ing guard at the corner of Sherwood avenue and Mena street. The lone oc- cupant proved to be Jess Tow, who is said to have been standing guard with a drawn pistol. Earlier in the night Tow had been relieved of his title as chief of police and during the subse- quent celebration of election results is said to have become involved with a crowd of men who sought to im- pose upon him for the loss of his off, cial powers. Tow still had possession of his .'six gum" and when the argu- ment waxed warm is said to have drawn it, causing great loss of aud ience Sheriff Thornton escorted Tow home and on his promise to remain there, left the former policeman with his family. As far as is known no one was injured by the shots fired.

LYNCHING IS AyERTED. Mississippians Hold Meeting, Ask I'm. mediate Trial for Negro.

Tylertown, Miss, Oct 31.--Follow- ing an assault upon the wife of a white farmer near here last night, a mass meeting of citizens was held here today to determine what action should be taken in regard to Harry Jacobs, negro, now in Magnolia jail, who is said to have confessed to Sher- if Breeton that he was guilty of the crime.
 Sheriff Breeton and others ad- dressed the meeting, urging those present, who were highly incensed at the crime, to permit the law to take it's course, and at the conclusion of the address resolutions were adopted urging Judge Miller to convene a special term of court immediately to try the negro. Notwithstanding the mass meeting this afternoon feeling continues to run high.
 The assault was committed while the woman's husband was away from home. A short time after the husband returned and notified neighbors of the deed. Jacobs is said to have returned
 to the scene of the crime, and upon being questioned admitted that he had entered the home, but only to secure money, which he believed hidden un- der mattress. After being arrested and taken to Magnolia for safekeeping he is said to have made full con- fession to the sheriff.
