POLAND CHINA
HOGS SHIPPED
TO COLLEGES
Ed Treece Disposes Of Some
Very Fine Specimens
Wishes People Would
Raise Better Hogs.

Ed Treece has reported to this
office the sale of twenty-five head
of Poland China June pigs to school
boys at the Smith Hughes College
at Lonoke, Arkansas. Twenty-three
were Poland China females and two
males. This sale was brought about
as a result of the hog exhibit Mr..
Treece conducted at the State Fair
at Little Rock, a few weeks ago.
Mr.. J. w. Hull, director and live
stock teacher of the institution at
Lonoke, made personal inspection
of all hog exhibits at the State
Fair, and bought of Mr.. Treece in
preference to all others. He was ac-
companied by seventeen of the
schools pupils to inspect the herds
on display.
Mr.. Treece also reported the sale
of six heads of Poland China Sep
tember pigs to w. E. Mcmahon at
Eudora, Chicot county Arkansas.
Mr. Mcmahon is one of the in
Seven or eight teachers of the
, school witnessed the exhibit at the
Little Rock Fair, especially in
terested in the hog exhibits. The
sale Of the six pigs was made to
six of the pupils of the school at
Eudora.
Mr.. Treece said that he disliked
the idea of shipping the fine hogs
outside of Greene County because he
believes they should be kept at home
for breeding purposes. He told a
representative of this paper that we
are too much inclined to sell our
fine stock and not disposed enough
to keep and increase the product
lof better breed. He thinks we
ought to have good,s live county
agent to encourage more progressive
! ness along the line of better breed
ing of hogs and fine stock generally
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Treece exhibited a number of very
| fine specimen of Poland Chinas at
Little Rock during the occasion of
| the recent State Fair. Mr.. Jones
and Mr.. Garner of this county also
exhibited some good specimens. Mr..
Treece received many compliments
and honors for his display, particu-
lars of which were published in The
Press and The Soliphone some weeks
ago Mr.. Treece has done much to
advance progressive breeding of fine
hogs in Greene county and if farm
ers generally had listened to him
years ago this section now would
be up in the top class of Producing
fine stock.
One of the officials of the State
Fair told Mr.. Treece that he was
confident that his exhibit there
had the result of attracting not
less than five thousand admissions
that otherwise would not have en-
tered the grounds. One of the Po-
land Chinas he exhibited was a
wonder to all who saw it, Mr..
lIcSCc bdlu pcOpic llOHI al OfOi
the country called at his display
place on the grounds and made es-
pecial inquiry about Greene county
as a result of his display. He said
dozens of interested people who
had resided in Greene county years
ago introduced themselves to him
with the information that they once
lived in good old Greene" and ap-
peared very proud of the fact.
/ 1t will be remembered that Mr..
Treece was one of the leading
spirits in the conduct of the Greene
county Fair few weeks ago and
contributed much to its success. His
display of fine hogs upon that occa-
sion was of extraordinary interest.

(By The United Press)
Little Rock, Dec. 100 (Bulletin.)-The dead
body of Tom Slaughter has been found in the
wilderness near Benton, according to reports
reaching Little Rock this afternoon. While the

Crows posse at Benton this morning found the
dead body of Tom Slaughter, the notorious ban
dit, fifteen miles north of Benton where he had
been killed by James c. Howard, white convict
Of Garland county. Howard was with Slaughter

Howard surrendered and said that he was
forced to accompany Slaughter and when he left
with him he resolved to kill him at the first op-
portunity. Wells and Taylor, two of the other
escaped convicts, have also been captured.

SEARCH CONDUCTED THE ENTIRE NIGHT

(By The united Fress)
Little Rock, Dec. lO.-After futile all night
search, all officials of the state pententiary here
are inclined to doubt the accuracy of the story of
j. c. Howard the Garland county convict, that he
killed Tom Slaughter, the notorious convict-ban-
dit
Posses spent the entire night searching the
Businesses of the Ozark hills where Howard, who
helped Slaughter to liberty claims to have killed
the desperate. No traces of Slaughters body
nor that of the negro convict who Howard claim
ed fell beside that of Slaughter were found. Pris-
on officials are inclined to believe that Howards
story is only another of Slaughters tricks in try
ing to elude apprehension.

MOONSHINER is
WIFE DESERTER
Martin Gurski, Whose Wife
is to Answer MoOnshine
Charge, Decamps.
IS A LOYAL SPOUSE

An interesting development in the
case of Martin Gurski whose home
south of Sheridan Road was raided by
-Crusading Constable last week and a
huge still found behind a wooden par
tition, arose this morning when ii
became known that Gurski. had depart
ed for parts unknown. Recently the
woman outwitted Scholey's deputy by
asking permission to call party in
Racine under the pretense of having
some one come down and take care OF
the baby while she was in court. The
deputy suspecting nothing wrong al
lowed her to use the telephone. When
she got in connection with the party
desired in Racine she let loose flood
of Polish. This the deputy didn't un-
derstand and naturally thought that
she was explaining the situation in
their usual verbose manner.
Puts bug in Ear.
Later when Gurski failed to show
up, a mouse was smelt in the Scholey
quarters. It was found that the wo-
man had called up the saloon of John
Parozen at 1914 10Th Street in Racine
and put "bug in his ear" concerning
her husbands plight if he came back to
Kenosha. Friend Gurski took his bet
ter half's tip and has departed to parts
unknown. Scholey has good idea
where Gurski may be found and the
wires have been hot getting in touch
with the proper officials. Gurski will
be apprehended shortly it is though
Woman Is Destitute
The woman, Mrs. Gurski, is left in
destitute circumstances. Constable
Scholey ordered some grocers out to
their house the other day but the
grocer refused to leave the groceries
without the cash. Scholey fixed the
matter up for the woman, and the
groceries were left. The woman is
still loyal to her husband however
and is accomplishing over the condi-
ton in which he left her She will be
arraigned today in all probability in
Municipal Court to answer to the
charge. In the meantime Scholey has
a warrant out for Gurski on moon
shine charge, and non-support and de-
sertion of his family.
Scholey Helps Sheriff James.
Scholey was in Racine Saturday and
assisted Sheriff James in making two
raids and getting the goods both
times. The first place pinched was
Parozen's saloon where Mrs. Gurski
had called up. The second place was
Joe Babelis on Racine Street. At both
places whiskey and moonshine was
found. The men will appear in the Ra-
cine Court on Wednesday and Scholey
will at that time go to Racine to APP
pear as witness. 1t is understood
that he has another case there thai
day also.
