yard and stop, laterffootsteps were
heard in the rear II the house, but
believing that it &was her husband,
Officer Alex Mjzell, on duty at the
time, returning home for something,
paid no more attention, and after
calling to him several times and re-
Giving no reply, concluded that he had
departed. Sunday morning Ford
touring car, owner unknown, was
found in the yard.
1t is believed that the car had
been stolen and that possibly the
thieves believing that the trail was
becoming too hot ditched the car at
the first opportunity, unwittingly
picking the home Of an officer to dis
pose of the property. Police are
trying to find who the machine be-
longs to.

A BUSY ONE HERE

The young folks of Bogalusa OBJ
served Halloween night in the old
fashioned style Monday evening and
if there were any gates left on the
hinges it was because they could not
be removed. Several innocent

GOstckY IS RUN
OVER BY BINDER

While trying to stop six horses
hitched to a binder last Tuesday
forenoon Ike Gosecly Of Clayton
was run over by the horses and also
the sickle part of the binder In such
a way that he was severely cut
about the hip and head, but unless
complications set In he will recover.
The horses were driven by one OF
the men employed by Mr.. Gosecky
and took fright at something or
other. causing them 70 run. Mr..
G0secky ran In front OF them In an
ehdeavor to stop them, but they.
did not slaeken their speed in the
least. He. was knocked down, and
an instant 1ator was run over by.
the sickle part of the binder which
was in gear. 1t was miracle that
Mr.. Gosecky escaped alive. or that
he did not receive any more serious
injuries than he did. He is q man
over so years old, though as active
as q person half his age. Had the
bull wheel run over him, or even
the platform wheel there is no ques-
ton but that he would have been
killed outright. Even the grain
guards on the platform might have
torn him up badly IL they had hit
him right. AS it is Mr.. Gosecky
will be compelled to spend some
weeks in bed during the busiest
time Of the season. when his time
and attention are needed to look
after his harvest and threshing,
and he can consider himself lucky

this kind. l..

TO USE GRAY IRAC.
Toa FOR THRtsH|NG

Lawrence Larsen last week re-
ceived his new Red River Special
28 inch separator which he will use
with his Grey tractor in threshing
the crop on his own place this fall,
and will be ready to use the outfit
just as soon as he gets all Of his
grain harvested. Mr.. Larsen owns
over a section of land Just south OF
town, and during the past two sea-
sons has been doing most of the
work on same with Grey tractor.
This machine was not only used IN
plowing, but drilling, discing, pack
ing, harvesting, and even hauling
several tank loads at time. It
had been giving Mr.. Larsen abso-
lutely no trouble whatever SO he
finally made up his mind to even
make it do his threshing. He or
dered a separator OF size that has
been used most with a/Gray with
full satisfaction, and intends to do
his own threshing in the future.
The separator is probably the small
est in size in Burke county at the
present time, and will by no means
pounds out as much grain in day
as the larger ones will, but it will
not take very large crew to run it.,
and we'd be willing to bet our last
dollar that Larsen gets his crop
threshed long before many others
are able to get a rig on their places.
In scase he has any large amount Of
success with the outfit other farm
sers are planning on Also buying
small tractors and small threshing
machines later

TAREsHtRs AND
FARMERS TO MEET

A meeting OF the farmers and
threshers Of Burke county will be
held at the court house In Bowbells
on Saturday afternoon, Aug. 13, at
which time schedule OF wages to
be paid to men, and prices to be
charged for threshing will be set.
The date is rather late In the sea-
son, considering the fact that har-
yesting has started so early, but It
,is believed that all work to be done
here even before the date Of the
meeting will be charged for at the
rate set at the meeting. At the
meeting of this kind held in Ward
county last Saturday the prices to
be charged for threshing there were
reduced 20 to 80 per cent under
last year. and on account Of the
short crop in that county 1t was de-
cided to thresh- by the hour again
this year. The schedule agreed on
fs as follows: For threshing with
