land county, were handed down by
the law court Thursday.

Bank VS.. f. w. Cox ct ais, the ex-
ceptions of the defendants are over

Notwithstanding the approach of
winter, the Augusta Home Building
Association is beginning its develop
ment at Newlands, near Riverside
Drive. Definite plans have been
worked out and are being put in
force for the immediate construction
of 10 dwelling houses in that loca-
ton. The ground was broken for the
10 cellars this week with represen-
tatives present from the Bradlee &
Chairman Company and the board of
directors of the association. The eX-
cavatiOn for the cellars is being
rapidly pushed by sub contractor H.
w. Bailey, who has men and horses
daily on the job. Large orders for
building material are being placed
and labor is being employed. The
contract for the concrete foundations
has been let to Paul LiZotte of this
city. Mn, Lizotte will at once begin
this work and will carry it rapidly
forward. The early decision of the
Augusta Water District to back the
enterprise is an important element in
this building program, for without
the promise of immediate water the
construction of these 10 houses could
ditch on Ncwland avenue, which eX

captured Thursday by Will and Ar
thur Keene of Sidney, with the aid
of a fine hound dog. The carcass was
brought to town Friday afternoon

animal, weighing 20 IL pounds
One marked popularity was the
tufted tail, which was longer
than the ordinary bob cats tail The
animal also had tufts at the base of
its ears and at it's jowls The dog
scared up the cat and a long chase
was in order, extending over four
miles or so, before the cat was
caught. The Keene brothers prize
their hound dog most highly and
they claim he is among the best in

LISTEN TO THE GRAIN
GAMBLERS HOWL!

The newspapers Of the country
are being flooded with propaganda
against the plan of the American
Farm Bureau Federation for Far
mers to market their own grain and
secure for themselves at least a
part of the huge profits that now
goes to gamblers.
Let there be- no misunderstanding
about this propaganda. In the first
place, the farmdrs cooperation,
knofn as "The U. S. Grain Growers,
Inc.," is no revolutionary plan. 1t
does not seek to do away with any
existing marketing agency only such
as is believed to be hindrance
rather than an aid.
The gambling Boards of Trade
feel that if the U. S. Grain Growers,
Inc, succeed, that one feature OF
in futures, will be eliminated. They,
therefore, have launched a very Sc
we're publicity propaganda cam
paign against the farmers organi-
zation. At the meeting of the
National Grain Dealers in Cincinnati,
a committee was appointed to con-
duet this propaganda campaign and
$250,000 was raised to foot the bill.
This money is now being spent in
propaganda by a syndicate which
was set up in Chicago by the Board
of Trade.

PIRATES TREASURE FOUND

Part of the supposed buried
treasure of Jean LaFitte, the pi-
rate, has been found in the vicin-
ity of Jefferson Island, the home OF
the late Thomas jefferson, and ex-
citement at that place is at fever
pitch, according to reports from the
south Louisiana coast.
Evidence of the treasure is fur
nished by several gold coins of an,
cient date which have recently found
their way into circulation of the is
land. two of them bearing the date
of 1854. According to the reports.
two pots of buried gold were found,
bnt such a furore was created when
the gold appeared that the treasure
finders have been silent on the dis.
covery.
According to legends large sums
were buried in the neighborhood by
Lafitte, who preyed upon gulf and
river shipping in the eighteenth cen
fury.
