Matched to make IL look like "A hold
up In which he posed as having ac-
cidentally shot his wife in trying to
kill the thug" His motive was to
be rid of his family so he could go
back into the army.

We are showing, this season, by far the most comprehensive as
sortment of Furs and Fur Goats ever shown in Albuquerque. And
the Tenth Anniversary plan OF a narrower margin of profit on a
greater volume of business has brought the prices of these coats
to a level lower than has been possible for several years.
Somehow, the designing of the collars, chOkers, mufs and coats
seems better, too, than it has been for some time, Original
touches here and there show much thought on the part of the de-
signers. You really must see our assortments and compare our

RIDERS AGAIN
 START FIRING
 GEORGIA GINS
(Bv United Pressl

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 16.-After 24 hours of comparative quiet, destruc- tion of cotton gins by terrorists was resumed last night, when three gins were burned with a great loss of cot ton and materials. Their alleged in- cendiary origin is accepted as fulfill ment of the threat by night riders to destroy property if the gins continu- ed operations and if farmers continu- ed to market their cotton while the market remains at it's present low level.
 At Dublin, a warehouse containing 250 bales of cotton and 50 tons of cottonseed, valued at $30,00, was burned. Reports from Franklin say that considerable amount of cotton was destroyed there last night. At Clover gin was burned with heavy loss to the owners and farmers who had cotton in it.

EIGHT WHITE COUNTY
 FARMERS ARRAIGNED

Searcy, Oct. 16.-Eight farmers ar rested by Sheriff T. T. Plant Thursday on charges of night riding waived ex- aminations when arraigned before Jus tice J. M. Collison of Bald Knob Fri day afternoon and were bound over to await action of the White county grand jury. Their bonds were fixed at $500 each.
 Seven of the eight are said to have made confessions at the hearing. The eighth, Walter Bone, denied that he was implicated.
 The men said their plans were formed at a farmers union meeting at Bliss, White county. They said their plans were local and that they had no knowledge of any general plot to destroy gins.
 Late Friday all made bond except two. Those failing to do so were re- turned to jail in Searcy. The men are farmers living in the vicinity of Vel vet Ridge, 10 miles northwest of Bald Knob. They are J. W. Fuller, known as Boat" Fuller; Charlie Meachem Frank Withers, Luke Bone, Irving Cribbeston, Fate Sterling, Walter Bone and Tom Smith. The two first named are in jail here.
 Threatening letters with severa matches enclosed were received or Thursday of last week by Will Mason Bradford Ernest, Patterson Russell and Bart Wools, Pleasant Plains These men, all of whom operate gins were ordered to stop ginning cotton until the price went to 40 cents, with the threat that if orders are not obey ed matches would be used Friday morning notice was found posted or the gin belonging to J. Collision ot Bald Knob, in addition to similar threat, MT. Collision was told that ii he put guards around his gin the guards would go with the gin. The notice and letters, evidently all iron the same source, were crudely printed on cheap tablet paper, practicall! identical as to wording, bearing "Yol must close this gin until cotton zoe to 40 cents If you do not then thu gin will go into ashes and if an! guard is there he will go with tn, gin"
 The letters were immediately put il the hands of officers and the gin continued to operate with guards con stantly on duty. By quick action clue were soon secured to the identity o the writers and on Wednesday Fulle and Withers were taken into custody

The Benton high school eleven yes terday got the jump on the Conway high school team on the first play and kept jumping until they had piled up a score of 47 points while the local lads failed to make score The game was played on Russell field.
 Conway lost the toss and kicked off to Benton to open the game. On the first down, Whitthorne, Quarterback circled left end for a touchdown, rae ing 60 yards with the Conway team at heel. After this first score, the local team braced and held the visitors until the second half.

 The Benton team seemed to be death on breaking up forward passes Three attempted passes were inter. cepted by them, the Benton team mak- ing touchdown on each attempt Benton completed 25-yard pass for another touchdown and two touch downs were made on line bucks.
 The Conway team was considerably lighter than their opponents, but the boys fought gamely the entire game Reynolds, quarterback, Newton, half.

PIKE II HEAVIER
 THAN LOCAL TEAM

Camp Pike's third division team will have the advantage of weight when the Pike Hendrix game is called on Russell field this afternoon. AL though the official weights were not given, the soldiers were noticeably heavier than the Bulldog eleven. Gordon Campbell and Russell May of Little Rock, whose services as off cials have always met with the ap- proval of Conway football crowds, will be referee and umpire of today's game, while w. M. Harton will be head lines man. A big crowd is expected out for the clash.
 The team which will meet Hendrix is the best team at Camp Pike and should not be confused with head quarters or other grid outfits which do not draw their strength from the entire division. Headquarters team recently lost to Ouachita by a heavy score, but is a secondary team con- pared with the division men. Coach Gilbert has heavy, hard fighting com bination in the division team, which will compare favorably with other elevens in the entire south.
 Coach Woody will have practically the entire squad ready for action. Few if any of the gridmen were scratch ed'' by the faculty for deficiencies in their studies, it was said, and Farris, ineligible for association games, will dogs in perhaps their hardest game dogs perhaps their hardest game of the year.
 About 150 soldiers were aboard the special train which arrived from Camp Pike this afternoon at o'clock. The military contingent is in high spirits and confident the division team will win. Sevevral officers and men in the party were met by Conway young men who saw service with the divi- sion during the WI period.

Thursday Luke and Walter Bone, Mitchell, Cribbeston, Sterling and Smith were arrested, and after long hours of severe grilling by Sheriff Plant and his deputy the men, one after the other, confessed One of them burst into tears as he told his story of the plot to control the gin ming of cotton by intimidation of the ginners. Sheriff Plant, who was as- sisted by Deputy Frank Rudd of Jud- sonia and Deputy Leslie Plant of Bald Knob, believes the situation is now under control and anticipates no fur ther trouble, as practically all the gang is now under arrest.
 A few other arrests may be made, but the principals in the case are in custody. The spirit of lawlessness which instigated this plot exists only among a minority of the citizens of this section, 99 per cent of the people in this part of the county being law abiding and in favor of the ginning of cotton
 No sympathy is expressed for the law breakers, and it is believed the farmers themselves will assist the of ficers in stamping out the attempted uprising. The men arrested vary in ages from 23 to 40, and the majority of them are men with families.
 "Boat" Fuller, the youngest member of the gang, was arrested two years ago on a charge of burning the barn of Tom Alexander of Denmark. He was given a penitentiary sentence, but as he pleaded guilty his sentence was 
 Sheriff Plant was also assisted in running down the men by special agents of the Missouri Pacific, L. P. Wheelock of Little Rock and w. E. Golden.

PAYNE SAYS COTTON
 LOWER IN OKLAHOMA

Faulkner county farmers who re- gret the price paid for cotton on the Conway market can draw much con- solation from comparison of their con- dition with that of cotton growers in Oklahoma, according to Charles o. Payne, who has returned from a busi- ness trip to several cities of that state. While cotton stayed above 20 cents on the Conway market, it was bringing only IF cents in Oklahoma provided it could be sold at all. MT. Payne, who is now connected with E. Il. Ward X Company, stopped at Null drow, Vian and Sallisaw on his recent trip.
 Cotton buyers at Vian are off the market altogether, MT. Payne said. un- der the combined influence of low cot ton prices and threats of violence made by the more unruly of that country's population. Mr. Payne was in the store of R. P. Allen when a threatening letter, mentioned in As sociated Press dispatches, was receiv- ed. It was to the effect that Mir. Al len had better stop buying cotton un- til the market rallied. Gins around Vian have been stopped, and many of the farmers bringing cotton to town return home with their wagon still loaded, although the holding movement has gained no headway.
 Comparison of conditions in that section and the treatment given Faulk- her cotton growers, MT. Payne said, IS all to the advantage of this coun- ty.

 There is no camouflaging it, the Birm- ngham Public Library records show it. Jones Valley folks are eating literature dealing with things supernatural.
 From the pioneer days of "Psychics, Facts and Theories,p to the latest ebul- liton from the English savants, it's all the same, the waiting list for every known volume dealing with wraiths is long, say the librarians.
 There is only one high competitor, and the gap between them silouhetts it with caneo-like clarity, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer"
 Mark Twain is the only standard author of the old school who continues to run neck-and- with Sir Oliver Lodge, Conan Doyle Basil King and the rest of the modern school of authors who are running hog-wild, hand-in-hand with the nebulous souls of the departed.
 Out of a halcyon past the public has dug "The Mystery of Cloomber," and is dangling the astral bells of the ITindus, and helping chase recalcitrant British colonels across the moors to bury them, heels up, in the mudholes of the West riding of Sutherland, or wherever it IS they bury them.

 Other Border States
By Associated Press

Warsaw March s9.-The societ gov
 ernment at Moscow yesterday sent a
 second wireless peace note to the Pol
 ish foreign office. The communication,
 which is signed by George Tchitchern, the, bolshevik foreign minister, ex- presses a desire for peace not only with
 Roland, but with the other border states.
 The soviet government declares in the note that the previous proposals of the bolsheviki hold good and asks when and where the peace delegates of all the interested countries may meet. Poland is asked to refrain from an offensive in the note, the soviet gov ernmept explaining that it's own opera tions on the Lithuanian and White Ruthenian fronts was inspired by fear that the Poles intended to make a drive against the Ukraine.
 Tke bolshevilS message came on the heels of the encouragement of the vic | tory of the Polish troops al Mozir The Warsaw press expresses the belief that | the Polish government will be ready to enter into negotiations with the soviet government toward the end of the month at a time and place not yet fixed President Pilsudski and Foreign Minis | ter Patek have been in conference re- l garding the bolshevik offer.
