But Madam Hen knew not of the
dangers that awaited her. For Mr..
Fox had left his home that morning
with the Intention of bringing back
FOR his dinner a nice plump hen, and
Madam Hen was very plump.
Mr. Fox was hiding right back of u

into his bag he put her, head first.
But when MIR. Fox came to stream

and then he heard something about
chickens and listened.
"What is that about fine chickensT
he asked.

Mr. Fox should have known that

bachelor he knew nothing about such
things, so lie took up the bag and
started back.

Mr.. Fox saw an opening at the othe

but he thought nothing of that All h
noticed was that the place was filled
with hay, so he held the string and
told Madam Hen he would wait right
there until the eggs We're hatched.
He did wait for few minutes and
then as he poked in his head again to
see If she were safe Mr. Fox saw

Mr.. Dog. Mr. Dog saw him and right

Madam Hen in his hurry nearly OF

SHOT WHILE
 ROBBHNG STORE
Justice of the Peace Alex Avery of Route 6, Shoots Young Man While Latter is in Act of RObbing His Store.

Frances Magonette, young man about 20 years of age, is at the Park Sanitarium here suffering from gun shot wounds received Saturday night about o'clock while he was in the act of robbing the store of Alex Avery about six miles north of Prescott, ac- cording to reports from there.
 MT. Avery, who is justice of the peace, states that he was aware for some time that his store was being entered and goods confiscated and that he stationed himself in his store Saturday night as he had been doing for the past ten days, and armed him. self with shot gun. About o'clock he heard someone opening the front door with a key, and after the in truder entered, MT. Avery opened fire the buckshot taking effect in the mans arm and breast. The man immedi- ately turned ran, but MT. Avery did not pursue him. The intruder carried a shot gun, but did not return the fire. A summons was received here few hours later for physicians, and the officers here went out and arrested Magonette at his home. It is said he confessed to the robbery and stated that he had made a key for himself. He had been robbing the store at in- tervals for the past six months. He is under guard at the Park Sanitar- ium, and physicians say he will re- cover from the wounds if no compli- cations set in.
 Magonette is of French birth and comparatively nothing is known of him, his father having moved to that section of Hampstead county only q few months ago.

SUTTON WELL
 AT 2,49O FEET
While Steady Drilling Goes on at Bluff City at Depth of 2,715 Feet-Col. Straughan's Test Reaches 2,400 Feet.

Although interest in oil operations in Nevada county has been tagging on account of the hot weather, the drilling goes steadily on day and night and the oil scouts who are in terested financially in the projects under way sleep with one eye open and both ears closed, because reports do not bring in an oil well, but the general opinion is that Col. Straughan the Humphreys Petroleum Company and Shaw and Shaw will see that oil is found within our bounds.
 The Sutton well has reached depth of 2,490 feet and is in forma- tion of shale, lime rock and shells, according to information from the headquarters at the well, and this formation with the aid of the standard rig is expected to produce something worth while before depth of 3,100 feet is reached, and it is officially stated that they will go to that depth If necessary.
 The Bluff City test has attained depth of 2,715 feet and the standard rig is now in formation of sand and gravel showing lime deposits. Drilf- ing is being carried on slow and eau tiously at this depth and a close watch is being kept on the cuttings day and night. Information from headquarters of the Humphreys Pe- troleum Company is to the effect that the drillers have been instructed to go to 3,400 feet.
 The Kanark Oil Company's well, better known as Col. Straughan's test, is now at 2,400 feet, with TO- tary rig and the drillers are frat holing" during the day and roaming at night Col. Straughan is spending all his time at his well and is watch ing the progress with his experienced eagle eye, so that not the slightest showing will escape attention.

E. L. COX & co. APPOINTED TO HANDLE NEW ARK. FEED Manufactured by the Dixie Cotton Oil Company, Little Rock,
 Arkansas.

E. L. Cox & Company, one of Pres cott's most prominent merchants, has lately been successful in securing an appointment to represent the Dixie Cotton Oil Company, Little Rock, Arkansas, in the handling of their new and latest blends of feeds.
 Mir. Cox was fortunate in getting appointed to this account for Prescott and surrounding territory, as this new line of feeds will be great saver to the cattle feeders, horse feed CTS, and poultry feeders of Nevada county. After months of experimental work and laboratory tests, and tests in feeding different cattle, the Dixie Cotton Oil Company has blended a

of production or by the price maid bv the spinner. If the enormous profit made by those who handle it from the farm to the spinner was eliminat- ed' and If the spinners bought direct from the farmer, the manufactured article would be cheaper to the con- sumer and the price of raw material to the farmer would be enormously advanced
 The first step in bringing about this condition must be to forbid the cotton exchanges to deal in futures and thereby eliminate all gambling Tn products of the soil, which is to- day one of the great crimes against humanity There is no more reason to maintain a gambling exchange in cotton to make fair market for cot ton, than there is to maintain a race track for thoroughbred horses in or der to produce a market for mules and draft horses. The cotton farmer can be freed from a quasi-slavery only by forbdding cotton gamblers to fix the price of what he produces. The selling on the Board of many times as many bales of cotton each year as is actually grown that year, can benefit only the gamblers and injure the man who tolls, and it is indefensible.
 My plan is to put the cotton gam blers, that is, the men who deal in futures, with no intention of deliver ing spot cotton, in the same class with those who operated the old Lou isiana lottery, and to forbid the use of the mails, the telegraph, and tele- phone and all other public utilities engaged in interstate commerce.
 "To this end I shall direct my eff forts until gambling in cotton futures is absolutely forbidden, or until my term of office expires"

TWO MORE YOUNG
 WOLVES ARE RAGGED

A hunting party composed of Jim Bryson, Dr. G. A. Buchanan, Jim Bar ham, Horace Mckenzie and William Johnson went out to the vicinity of Lee McCain's farm, west of town, Saturday night and with the aid of a new set of hounds, located and bagged two more junior wolves about two months old, one of them meeting horrible fate at the hands of the dogs, the others being brought in captive by the hunters. This brings the total captured to seven and the next ad- vance will be made in favor of the mother of the pack, who is believed to be in hiding in the vicinity of the den where the little fellows were cap tured. .,.tgi g
