JOHN M'VAY
 UNDER ARREST
MAN ONCE CONDEMNED TO DIE INDICTED BY ARKANSAS
 COUNTY JURY.

Stuttgart Feb. 25.-John McVay, convicted in March 1912, of first de- gree murder and sentenced to be hang ed, has been indicted by the Arkansas County Grand Jury on three counts charging him was announced today by Circuit Judge George w. Clark.
 Mcvay was convicted of killing John w. Ethridge on November 20, 1911, on the steps of the Jefferson county court house at Pine Bluff. Ethridge had jus. been arraigned 0 na charge of kill ing Albert McVay, brother of John, on July 5, 1908, at Pine Bluff. Ethridge accompanied by his father and H. K. Toney, his attorney, were leaving the court room when several shots rang out. Ethridge fell, mortally wounded.
 The trial of Mcvay was begun at Pine Bluff in February, 1912. The jury whcih heard the evidence deliberated IS days before a verdict was returned.
 Several times the jurors asked to be excused, declaring they could not agree
 upon verdict. Judge A. B. Grace, the presiding officer refused to discharge them, however,
 McVay was taken to the penitentiary at Little Rock on March F, 1912, and
 on the same day he was transferred to
 the tSate Hospital for Nervous Dis
 eases, physicians declaring he was men,
 tally unbalanced. They said his insan- ity was due to fear of his approaching execution. Two years later he was re- turned to the penitentiary, and his |tleath sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. He was pardoned by former Governor Hays on January 17, 1917.
 The Grand Jury has returned total
 of % indictments, four of which charge felonies.
 This is the first term of court here presided over by Circuit Judge Clark since Arkansas county was placed back in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit. The General Assembly of 1919 passed bill fathered by former Senator John Moncrief, annexing the county to the Eleventh circuit It was an unpopular measure, however, and the present Gen. eral Assembly repealed the Moncrief bill.-Gazette.

 OVER TEXAN
MINOR GORDON GETS TWO OUT OF THREE FALL FROM LEO
 HACKENlGR1YTH.

At Sc0tt's Hall last night the ath- letic fans were treated to one of the fastest and most exciting wrestling matches ever staged in Prescott.
 Minor Gordon of this city. met and mastered the powerful Leo Hacken- smith of Dallas, Texas. winning two out of three falls from the husky Tsxan
 Hackensmith won the first in 15 minutes with a body scissors" Cor don, with a remarkable burst of speed, won the second fall with half Nelson, pinning the shoulders of the struggling Texan to the mat in two minutes. The third and last fall lasted 14 minutes and was won by Gordon who again se- cured a half Nelson and used it to . successful termination of the contest
 Earl Fore refereed the match.
 The gate receipts amounted to about $5O.OO of which 60 per cent went to the winner.
 Hackensmith outweighed Gordon by 25 pounds. In winning last night from the heavy Texan, Minor Gordon has again demonstrated a wrestling ability which, if he cares to cultivate, will doubtless result in his becoming top notcher.

LAD STEALS PILE
 LIBERTY BONDS
POLICE OF NATION SEARCH FOR YOUTH WHO WAS BEST OF
 RESPECTED BOYS.

Chicago. Feb. 25.--The police of the nation tonight were on the outlook for William Dalton, 17 years old, $65-a- month bank clerk, whose alleged theft of S722 900 worth of Liberty bonds yes terday from the Great Northern Trust company was made known by bank of- ficials today.
 Although convinced that Dalton was hiding somewhere in the city, the police department uelegraphed description of the boy all over the country with in formation that $1,OO0 would be paid for his arrest and $25,0OO for recovery of the bonds.
 Dalton is believed to have secreted the bonds-all in large denominations about his person when he went out to lunch yesterday. He had been sort ing them in a cage.
 The theft was the second in this dis trict recently in which youthful bank clerk figured. The other was at Otta- wa, Ill, when a 19-year-old clerk nam- ed Carey, who received so month attempted to steal nearly $2OO,00O, but was caught and the money recovered. This case started an attack by Senator Dial, of South Carolina, on Judge Ken esaw NJ. Landis, the senator taking ex- ception to statement-the judge made from the bench that bank officials were partly responsible for the theft because they underpaid clerks who were in re- sponsible positions
 Dalton was known in his neighbor- hood as a quiet, home loving, church going boy, whose chief ambition was to become successful in business so that he could provide comforts for his aged, widowed mother, who was partly de- pendent upon him.
 Mrs. Dalton tonight refused to dis cuss the case. Neighbors said that Will lie Dalton was in every way a model youth. He seldom went out after night and his chief recreation was swimming, boxing and playing billiards at the Y. NJ. c. A., they said.
 At the bank, Dalton was looked on as one of the brightest boys m the in- stitution and was in line for rapid pro- motion. He was promoted few months ago with an increase in salary, but even with his promotion it was largely accidental that he had an opportunity to steal the bonds.
 Ordinarily, bank officials said, Dal- ton would not have had anytheing to do with the bonds. They were tempo rary ones, however, and it was planned to exchange them for permanent bonds yesterday. Dalton and other young employees were given the task of sort ing the securities. While his compan- ions were not looking, it is believed, the lad hid the bonds on his person and it was not until he failed to return from lunch that they were missed. - Four Staes Press.

INCREASE EXPECTED
IN DAIRY INDUSTRY
FOR MASON COUNTY
Local Banker Says Farmers with
Cows and Poultry Are Those
With Steady Incomes
Now.

In conversation with one Of the To-
cal bankers the other day, County
Agent Kirk was told that the only
farmers who had any regular income
were those who had COWS and chick
ems on their farms in sufficient num-
bers to allow the sale of surplus milk,
cream, eggs and poultry. The banker
stated further that II was apparent
that there would be a tremendous in
crease in the dairy industry in Mason
and surrounding counties, since that
was the only type Of farming which
would afford steady income and at
the same time build up the soil. The
average yield Of wheat has dropped
to about 10 to IL bushels, and corn is
not yielding as heavily as 1t did 10 or
20 years ago. The tobacco crops are
grown on new" land wherever pos
sible, and yields do not show quite so
great a falling off from former years,
but an intelligent system Of farming
which includes the return of large
quantities Of manure, the growing of
clover and alfalfa, and intelligent ro-
tation of crops must come about il the
fertility Of Mason county farms is to
be restored to the former high-pro-
ducing state which made bumper
yields possible.
The study of the experimental fields
in Kentucky which are farmed under
supervision of the Experiment Station
seems to indicate that it will be posi-
BILE to offer great encouragement to
the farmers who must apply limestone
in order to insure clover or other
legumes. Results obtained by different
system Of farming and fertilization in
dictate that If the proper system of
rotation and return Of crop residues
anu 10 Cui lCu out, ohC uppii
cation of limestone in sufficient guam
tity to correct soil acidlty present at
the beginning of the rotation will be
adequate for an indefinite number of
of years. This would seem to contra
dict the old theory that limestone
should be applied once every five
years for maximum results, and If
the next few years bear out what now
seems to be a fact 1t will mean ire
mendous saving in labor and money to
the farmer.
Careful analysis of the results at
these experimental fields shows that
pasturing a field simply holds its fer
tility-but does not increase the sum
total of plant food although it may
make a portion more available for use
