During the last few years design

advanced greatly. Architects who

Among the modern styles Of ex-

shown in the accompanying plGstf3f-

appropriate for farm houses as their

COLLECTION OF ROAD
 TAX HALTED BY COURT
Bonds Sold Below Par and Legislative Act Violated,
 Judge Reeder Holds

Chancellor Lyman F. Reed CT in chancery court at Bates vile last week declared road bonds to the value of $90,000 void, and restrained the tax collector from collecting taxes from the land owners of the district.
 The road district affected is a 20-mile gravel surfaced road extending from Bates vile northeast to a point near Cord. This road was built under an act of the legisla- ture of 1919 creating Road District No. 1 and wes built last summer. The plaintiffs Robert A. Long, ct. al., tax payers, filed suit to enjoin the collector from collecting the taxes for said district.
 Judge Reeder, in. handing down his decision, ruled that the bonds had been sold for $10,000 below par, when the act creating the district spe- officially stated that they should not be sold below par, and furthermore that the com- missioners had allowed the contractors a commission of $5,000 for acting as fiscal agents and they had received alleged damages to the ex- tent of $5,250 on account oi delay in securing funds to build the road.

 Frank Moxley, section fore man of Magness, met death in a horrible manner some time early this morning, the supposition being that he was run over by an eastbound rec ball freight train which pass ed Magness some time after midnight.
 The mangled body Of Mox- ley was found beside the rail- road tracks directly in front of the section house about half a mile east of Magness by the crew on the ,eariy morning "hot shot which passed Magness station about ) 40 o'clock.
 Mexley, apparetly, had been dead some little time when found by the ":hot shot, crew. His head was completely seV- cred from his body, nearly even with his shoulders, and he was badly cut and mang- led. Besides being badly cut, great hole was knocked in the back of his head and nun erous small pieces of flesh were torn from his head.
 His right arm was cut clear off and the left cut nearly off He was badly crushed about the stomach and abdomen, his left side was completely caved in, and pieces of his ribs were broken and scattered along the track. His heart was dis located and his body badly cut and bruised otherwise.

Section Foreman Killed by
 Train Early This Morning

Moxley's parents, MT. and Mrs. J. W. Wayman.
 Moxley and Lamberson re- mained at Paroqet until some time after the Westbound ''hot shot had passed Paroquet last night, and returned home on a speeder. Lamberson was a near neighbor of MoXley and worked on the section under MoxIey. After return ing from Paroquet they re- mained at Moxley's house some few minutes and Lam- person went home, leaving Moxley laying on his from porch, with his clothes on. Be fore going home he told Mox- ley to come over to his house next morning and get his breakfast, which he agreed te do.
 It is believed that after Lamberson went home, MoA- ley went to sleep on his front porch right where Lamberson left him, and that some time in the night he awakened and went down to the track where he met death. Just opposite MoXiey's residence across the track is small toel house where supplies for the section are stored and the theory is advanced by some that when he awakened his thoughts turned to some matter con- corning his duties and he went down to the tool house, prob. ably to see if he had locked same or see about some other detail concerning the too house. It is thought that after satisfying himself concern ing the tool house he might i have sat down on the track and fallen asleep.
 At the place where he met death there is a sharp curve and a slight down grade, anc that the engineer of the loco

NEWARK GIRL SAW
 TULSA RACE RIOTS
Riot Scenes Witnessed From Top of Builing in The
 Business District

Miss Dollye Carpenter of this place who is employed as s.enographer in Tulsa, Okla, witnessed the recent race riots in that city. Her mother, Mrs. A. L. Gamble, has received a letter from her giving some of the details of the riot, a portion of which is published below:
 Dear Mother.-I meant to write you yesterday but this has been a very trying week for me and everyone else in Tulsa.
 Tuesday evening before had gotten off from work we got a report that a gang of negroes were surrounding the county jail. Their purpose was to break in and get the negro that insulted white girl. They thought the whites were going 1 to lynch him. The negro deputy sheriff begged them l to go back home, which they finally did, long enough to get every negro and all the arms possible. They march. ed from Little Africa" right up Main street, shooting in every direction and ordering the white men to stand back. which they did, for they shad nothing to protect themselves with.
 In the meantime I had hur. ried home from the office and was watching the proceedings from the roof of the Y. w. C. A. saw them coming to- ward the court house which is only a block away. By thia time the whites had gotten ammunition from the hard ware stores and were trying to get them under control. It looked as if everyone was out on the streets. The whole town was in a panic, the whites killing blacks and blacks killing whites. It last ed all night long and the next morning they either killed or put in jail every negro found on the streets. Then they set fire to Little Africa" and burned building after build ing and home after home un- til practically all the negroes were left without homes, food or clothing. Then they filled the jail, court house, church. es, one of the parks and the fair grounds with them until they could find homes.
 1 went to McNulty park to see them. They were brought in by truck loads and herded like hogs, nearly everyone carrying something. They neither laughed nor cried. but looked straight ahead without the slightest expression or their faces. An old negro preacher preached and they sat and listened just like they were in church.
 Wednesday and Thursday everyone was required to have a pass to be on the streets anc even now the negroes have tC have police protection.

motive which struck MoXley was unaware of the man $ presence on the track is evil dent from the circumstances surrounding the case, and 1t is believed that if Moxley did not set down on the track anu go to sleep that he was close to the tool house when the tram was approaching and that if seen by either of the engine men they did not believe that he would attempt to cross the track. 1t is thought that if he attempted to cross it must have been when the train was very near him, and that he stumbled and fell and the train was upon him after he passed from the vision of the engine crew.
 Nearly everyone has a diff erent idea of the way in which the accident could have hap pened, some of these being that when he went down to the track he was stricken with heart failure and fell dead on the track before he was struck by the locomotive, and others advance the theory that he could have been walking in his sleep, or that probably he was awakened by the whist ling of the freight train and thinking probably some of his cattle were on the track went down to see and started across and fell under the train, and a dozen others advance as many theories. Moxley's friends state that to theil knowledge he had never been known to walk in his sleep and that if he ever had an at tack of heart trouble they nev- CT knew it.
 The freight trai- which IS supposed to have killed him passed Newark eastbound about 2 o'clock this morning and if the crew knew any thing of Monkeys death they never stopped when he was struck or when they reached Newark, the place where MoXley was killed being about half a mile east of Magness and about a mile and a half west of Newark.
 An element of suspicion that he might have met with foul play began to creep in when Moxley's watch could not be found, and not a cent of money was found on his person after the accident. Wednesday was pay day and it was learned that Moxley cashed checks to the amount of $106.55 at the First Nation al bank of Newark, but all but about thirty dollars had been accounted for at the time The Journal went Id press and 1t is thought the. the remainder might have been spent or disposed of otherwise.
 Intimate friends of the dead man believe that no cause ether than accidental can be attributed to his death and in just the exact manner whicI he was struck will probably nevers be known.
 When the hot shot stopped this morning on finding the body the engineer blew the whistle quite a number o1 times trying to rouse some one thinking probably his family | xuaa in tba bnuco
