CATTLE INSPECTOR IS
 SHOT FROM AMBUSH

the shots were fired that kill led Jeffery.
 Neighbors told the officers that Strother and Paul Curtis who lived with him, had gone to McHue. The officers inn mediately went to McHue and found the two men. 1t is said that they were apparently pre- pairing to leave the county.
 The officers arrested Stroth- CT, Paul Curtis, James McGee, Will Lambers andaC. w. Hen- bry and they were taken to Batesville and placed in jail.
 There has been much opposi- ton to dipping cattle in that section and a number of dip ping vats have been blown up with dynamite. It is said that a secret meeting was held at the home of Strother Sunday afternoon and that McGee an nounced Sunday morning at church that all opposed to dip- ping their cattle should follow him." It was said that about 40 farmers went with him to the Strother home. Officers believe that the murder of Mir Jeffery was planned at the meeting.
 After the dogs had picked up the trail, the officers took no chances on having a warn ing carried ahead. They or dered everybody they met to go along with them. When the posse started out it was composed of nine men, but when. the last arrest was made there were approximately SC members.
 McGee is said to have admit ted to officers that he attended the secret meeting at Strother' Sunday afternoon, and that he was opposed to dipping his cat tie. However he refused to tel what transpired at the Strothel residence. He said that he would tell the Grand Jury everything he knew but until it convenes would remain sil- ent. All the others arrested re. fused to talk.
 It is believed those connect ed with the killing of the officer set fire to the woods a few miles from where the kill

Five Men Residing Near McHue are Charged
 With Crime

Charles Jeffery of James town, cattle tick inspector for Grcenbrier township, was shot and killed Monday morning while riding along the road a short distance from James town.
 Lee Harper, who was riding with Jeffery, was shot through the right arm, but was only slightly wounded.
 An unknown assassin, hid den in a clump of bushes near the roadside, fired the shot that killed Jeffery and wound, ed Harper.
 The assassin used a shotgun loaded with buckshot and al most the entire charge entered Jeffery's right side and pentra- ted the lung. He died in about an hour.
 The killing is believed to be the result of opposition to the tick eradication law. Jeffery is said to have received several anonymous letters warning him to resign if he valued his life. He and Harper were en route to a dipping vat near James town where cattle were to be dipped, when the shooting oc- cured.
 Harper ran to a farmhouse for assistance and telephoned Sheriff Harris who went to the scene of the murder.
 Bloodhounds were sent for and the clump of bushes from which the shots were fired was closely guarded.
 When the dogs were taken to the scene they at once took up at trail, which they follow ed in roundabout way to the home of Aaron Strother.
 There was no one at home at Strother's but the dogs fol- lowed the trail into a bedroom where a pair of boots was found, the boots being of the same size of the track found at the clump of bushes where

KUKLUX EXPOSURE
 DRAWS BIG CROWD
Strong Endorsement is Given Order By Little Rock Min
 ister in Speech Here

The exposure" of the Ku Klux Klan by Rev. Ben M. Be- gard of Little Rock drew the largest crowd that has assem- bled at the High School audi torium here in some time.
 The auditorium was filled to capacity and standing room was at a premium.
 The speaker first gave Web- ster's definition of the word expose" and said the Ku Klux was an organization that everyone had heard more or less about, and concerning which nearly everyone has heard a good deal that is not the truth.
 He frankly stated that he was a member of the Klan and said that he was the only man whose membership in the Klan is publicly known fact in the state of Arkansas.
 Rev Bogard told of some of the false reports that have been widely circulated in the press of the country, which ex- cept for the smaller papers, is largely controlled by the eni- mics of the Klan. These re- ports purported to tell of out rages committed by men dress ed in white robes and the papers said the men were mem- bers of the Klan. A recent occurrence of this kind at Lewis vile, Arkansas, was traced down and it was found that the men who attempted to clean out a hotel here, terrify- ing the clerk and threatening him with a pistol were not members of the Klan and that there was not now and never had been a Klan in that town. The men who committed the al- legged crime, which resulted in the death of the clerk when he resisted arrest, have been ar rested and are now in jail.
 Rev. Bogard told of another incident which happened in

TIE COUNTY SCHOOL CONTEST BIC SUCCESS Spicglid Interest Shown in The Meeting at BatesvilIe Last
 Saturday

The County contest 'associ- ation which was held at Bates vile last Saturday was quite success. It was we'll attend ed by many visitors and a large number of contestants were present to take their part in the events.
 The day was gloomy and threatening rain, but people from all parts of the county came. The rain in the after noon checked the progress of the athletic field for a while, but the boys were so determin- ed to finish that they contin- ued in the rain.
 The proper school spirit pre- vailed among all; everybody was behind his contestant in every event which gave them encouragement to do their best, and they certainly did.
 About twenty different schools were represented in the events, and medals were dis fibuted to all parts of the county. We beleive that this meeting together, getting ac- quainted and measuring our work with other schools of like nature will be stimulus and result in better work through ou the country.
 We wish to thank all who participated in this meet, and want to congratulate you on the excellent work done. We also wish to thank everyone who assisted an any way what ever to help along with the pleasures of the day.
 Following is the names ot all who won first places and who recieved medals, also the name of the school from which they came.
