in the number Of applications for

q favorable indication. There is
a marked decline in wages and
salaries all along the line, some
however, are ridiculously low. For
instance the commissioner received
an inquiry yesterday from printer,
offering $1,000 week for limo
type operator with experiences;
it was stated that good board could
be secured in the community at
$3.50 per week. Another CORE
spondent asked for the services of a
man and wife on a farm, the man
to do general farm work and the

Great Scouts Ws,,on
DANIEL BOONE, TIE GREAT
kENTUCKIAN
g, Western Newspaper Union.

Daniel Boone was the son Of Quaker
parents who lived in Pennsylvania. AL
though the principal doctrine in the
Quaker creed is that man must not
Kill, Daniel departed from the faith of
his fathers early and he became one
Of the greatest Indian lighters in
American history.
When Boone was eighteen his par
ents moved to North Carolina and in
the Yadkin valley Of that state, young
Boone became an expert WoOdsman
and hunter. Attracted by the tales OF
a hunter who had crossed the Appa-
lachans into the unknown Kentucky
country, Boone visited the Blue Grass
state several times until he. finally de-
cided to make that country his home.
In 1915 he established Boonesborough,
the first outpost of civilization in the
Ozark ana Bloody Ground" as Ken
lucky was called because 1t was bat
tleground for many tribes OF Indians.
BoOneS adventures with the Indians
in his new home were innumerable. In
l77S ne was captured by the Shaw
nees who admired the scouts courage
so much that he was not put to death.
Instead Chief Black Fish adopted him,
giving him the name of Big Turtle
rather an inappropriate title for q man
so active. Boone pretended to be we'll
pleased with his captivity and after
several months the watChfulness of
~, fThnn he mazda
his escape.
Several years later this same band
of Shawnees came to BoonesbOrough
to kidnap their former captive. They
found Boone in Il little shanty used
fer drying tobacco.
"Now Boone, we got you" said the
Indians. You no get away this time"
Eyes, you have me but l am glad to
go with YOU" replied the scout, but
want my friends to have some Of this
tobacco"
He gathered up a number OF the
dryest leaves and unseen by the In
dams, crushed them in his hands. Be
fore they could move, he threw the
powdered tobacco into their eyes. AS
the blinded savages rolled on the floor
bowling and digging at their eyes, the
former "Big Turtle" showed uneX-
peeted speed and was far up the trail
to the fort before they could pursue
him.
In his later years Boone was cheat
ed out Of the rich Kentucky lands he
had fought so hard to win and he mi
grated to Missouri, becoming hunter
once more. He died there in 1920 at
the age of eighty-six. A quarter of a
century later Kentucky paid him be-
lated honor by removing his body to
the capital of the state and today Dan
tel Boone sleeps in the land where he
won fame as a pioneer and gcout.

San Francisco, Sept 2l--Charges
THAT four persons, one OF them a

portant prosecution witnesses, were
made yesterday by District Attorney
Brady. Brady's statement followed
adjournment early yeste rday Of the

which is delving into this and other
incidents in connection with the
death Of Miss Virginia Rape, film
actress.
Three persons We're heard by the
grand jury in relation 10 the alleged
attempt to tamper with states Wit
.neasos. They were Miss Joyce Clark,
Gabor livingstone and Reginald More
ly. After conclusion OF the iury's
session, District Attorney Brady is
sued this statement:
"The investigation brought out
that Miss Clark, livingstone, Merely
and Mrs. Ruby Kingstone merely dis
cussed the probability of making
money out OF the Arbuckle case by
framing Miss Joyce Clark to i'm
peaoh the testimony al Miss Fey
Provost, a most important prose
cution witness; that Merely gave
Miss Clark the telephone number Of
Milton Cohen, an Arbuckle attorney
and told her to call up Cohen; that
Morely himself went TO see Cohen
and that Monday night before they
went into the witness room Merely
and livingstone called on Cohen at
the Palace hotel and asked him what
they should testify before the grand
jury.
1t was admitted that Merely and
livingstone testified that Cohen adj
vised them TO tell the truth"

Attorney jeff Bratton last night
received information over long dis
lance telephone from Geologist Har-
ter at Harrisburg that the Scott
No. we'll, located two miles north
of that city, was actually making
a showing of gas but not sufficient
to create excitement. Mr.. Bratton
had heard Of persistent rumors to
the effect that the test we'll had
encountered gas showing and call
ed up Geologist Harter of the Scott
Syndicate and was given the inf0r-
nation as stated, last night at $50
O'Clock. Mr.. BrattOn and a number
of other ParagOuld citizens have
lease interests in the vicinity of the
we'll referred to and they granted
the Scott Syndicate a quantity of
acreage few months ago as con-
sideration of the well being drilled
at its present site and ii was one
Of the terms Of the transfer that
they be given information relative
TO the progress Of the drilling.
This information has been verified
by j. d. Block who was told by a
representative of the Scott Syndi-
cate that gas was encountered two
or three days ago and that the
test north Of Harrisburg was show
ing up very satisfactorily for
wildcat venture but just how vaua-
lie the showing may ultimately prove
remains to be seen. Mr.. Block is
the attorney in this section for the
Scott Drilling Syndicate and his
reference to the showing encounter
ed at the we'll was merely d refer
ence 10 the subject in course Of a
conversation relative to the drilling
activity in Poinsett county.
The Daily Press yesterday after
noon called up Editor Freeman at
Harrisburg and was told that the
reported showing present at the
test well had not been made known
at the time he was in conversation
with this office. but did refer TO a
light showing that was observed in
the drilling a few days ago. The
principal showing of gas, however,

N(O)NSHINERS
ARE Held TO
CIRCUIT COURT
Trial Before Judge Honey
Oh Habeas Corpus Pro-
ceedings Results in Re-
duceu Bonds.

tFrom Wednesdays Daily Press)
Bill Goodman. Floyd Dickson, Gus
Beaver and OF Pcrona. the four men
arrested for conducting an Illicit
still on Indian Hill, north Of Bertig,
We're arraigued before Judge Honey
at the court house This afternoon
on haheas corpus proceedings and
were held to await trial at the De
cember terra of circuit court, The
defense attempted to establish that
the men were being enormously
held. setting up the contention that
Arkansas had no jurisdiction in the
case that the alleged violation for
which Tie men We're arrested by
Sheriff Stepp's deputies was commit
ted on the Missouri side Of the me-
ander line established by the waters
of the st, Francis river separating
Arkansas from Missouri. The pros
ecution, it appears, set up the con-
tention thai the meander line sep
arating the two states includes the
point where the raded moonshina
still was located.
The case before Judge Honey
produced heated discussion OF just
what constitutes The meander line.
The defense, represented by j. 7.
Craig, commended that the line en-
braeed only the main channel of
the st. Francis river and that viola
tions committed beyond the waters
edge OF the river came within the
jurisdiction of Missouri, the same
contention that was set up at the
first trial OF the men before Esq.
Carmack a Bard several days ago
when the -four were held to the
action of the Greene county grand
jury in 100000 bond each.
The prosecution, represented by
John Batten, commended that the
location Of the still was Well within
the meander line that separates
the two states, the land upon which
the moonShine outfit was located
being Of the uncultiyated region OF
the St Francis river. In the opin-
ion OF the court the case against
the men was such to require its
to the grand jury
for indictments against them under
the laws of Arkansas. A variety
OF evidence was introduced, the
subject was discussed from various
angles and civil engineer testimony
was introduced to establish the
contention of the prosecution. 1t is
stated that Indian Hill" the To-
cation OF the captured moonshine
outfit, is one-half mile east of the
main channel of the St Francis
river. on the Missouri side and is
land that is decided in Missouri.
Judge Honey held the men toi
await circuit court and placed thef
bond of each of the four men at\
$4,000, reducing it one-half of
that set by Esq. Carmack at Bard.
At the time of going to Press the
men had not executed the bonds.

Grants Second Pardon.

Little Rock, Sept. 20.-The second
pardon granted by Governor McRae
since his Inauguration possesses pc
culiar features. The paruon was
granted to Julia Beckham of Ran
dolph county who had been con-
victed on charge of selling liquor
and sentenced to year in the
penitentiary. Since last January
she has been held at the State
Farm for Women. She had always
protested her innocence and a few
days ago the following statement
was secured from T. J. Patterson,
convicted:
This is to certify that l, T. J.
Patterson, did not buy any whiskey
from Julia Beckham at any time.
/ have known her for twenty years
and she has never sold whiskey to
me or to anyone else that 1 know
Of
1t appears from evidence laid
before tile governor that Patterson
had been charged with an offense
and that the younger sister of julia
Beckham was the prosecuting wit
ness. Upon the trial of Patterson,
Julia Beckham, who had already
been convicted, was not permitted
to testify, as she was convict, and
Patterson was acquitted. Now, Pat
terson admits that his testimony was
perjured, and that Julia Beckham
has served more than eight months
time on charge OF which she was
innocent.
The pardon was delivered TO Julia
Beckham Sunday night at the First
