Ward One, son OF Mrs. Joe e. Walker,

Of his hunting sexperiences tn Mr..
Frank Conser, OF Shreveport The last
Of these letters Mr.. COnser has obliging

here ia what Mr.. Graham has to say In
his Inst letter to Mr.. Conser::

a bush cOw'--a large bull which at
tackled an American and horned him
six times, three time in the legs and
three times In the sides. The hull tore
the mans lungs almost up before
killed him. Shot him nine times with
a 4O1, about 10 feet from him, five
times with a 4O5 that the man had and
twice with As caliber single-action

horns home.

Perry Now in Penitentiary.

Jonas Perry, formerly cashier at the
lefunct Plain Dealing Bank, is now IN
the State Penitentiary, having reached
that Institution Monday morning.
Deputy Sheriff Job Wilson, having Mr..
Perry in charge, left Benton Sunday
afternoon and returned home Tuesday.
Mr.. Perry Is credited with having said
that he was anxious to reach the Fen
itcntiary and kegin the serving OF his
sentence, and that he would SO alone,
and thus save some expense to the
parish, IL permitted to do 50.
The Grand Jury sitting to hear the
charges against Mr.. Perry returned
seven true bills-four for receiving
deposits after the insolvency OF the
Plain Dealing Bank was known to MN,
two for elnbexzlement and one Tor
forgery. During the. July term Of
Bossier District Court he was tried on
one charge for receiving for deposit
on the afternoon OF Saturday, April
23d, deposit Of $1465S from Mr..
w. w. Oglesby. He was found guilty
aud ten Of the twelve jurors In the
case were for the verdict as returned !:
/" Guilty as charged" On the morning
OF Thursday, July 14th last, Judge
Roberts gave the former cashier the
sentence OF mot more than ten nor
less than nine years In the Penl-
tentiary." Motion for new trial was
oyerruled by the Judge and the case
was then appealed to the Supreme
Court. The verdict of the District
( Court was sustained.
/ Not knowing Mr.. Perry was about
! to he taken to the Penitentiary. we
have no interview to report. In fact
we hare not seen him to speak to him
since some time prior to the closing Of
the Plain Dealing Bank. We are told
that he stated here some days ago that
| when he returned from Little Rock
Ark, he had made up his mind to take
what the people gave him. Up to stht
| last he claimed he was not guilty o1
/ the charge of emhezzlement !; that ht
did not personally make use OF any o.
the banks funds, but did advance tht
money to others.

From Sundays Shreveport Ttmes.l
Oil fields within the Shreveport

yielded 1855, ,752 barrels. Figuring
an average price Of $1.5O per barrel on
the yearly basis the money value Of
this production would approximate
$50 200, 600.
Arkansas made Its entry during the

ducing states, the "a Dorado field being

tricts, showed a total of 26, 405,272
barrels for the year.
Louisiana also boasted the discovery
of new giant pool, the Haynesville
district being opened in the latter part
OF March. This new field showed a
production of 1851, ,507 barrels at the
close OF the year.
The climax In oil developments was
capped in the closing months OF the
year by the most remarkable oil strike
In the mineral annals OF Louisiana, II
not In the entire midcOntinent area.
The production Of 1900 barrels daily
was found at the unprecedented level
of 397 feet and 10 inches in the north

tfon of 229,O64 barrels. There wers
81 gassers and 2SS dry holes. Com

SEEDING OPERATIONS
HELD UP BY WEATHER

Seeding operations and other field
work in North Dakota is delayed from
two to three weeks this spring but
will be general this week, according
to reports received on crop conditions
from "a county agricultural agents
by J. w. Haw, county agent leader
at the North Dakota Agricultural COL
lege. Seeding is usually in full swing
in this state on April 10, Mr.. Haw
declared, in commenting on the re-
ports. These reports show that the
northeastern and south central parts
of the state are the only places where
and material amount of seeding has
been done.
The county agents report that, due
to the lateness of the season many
farmers are changing their plans and
will reduce their wheat acreages,
fearing that the lateness in the sea-
son will give the rust and adverse
weather conditions later on better
chance to destroy the crop. The re-
ductions in wheat acreages will be
compensated for by increased amount
Of feed crops, according to the re-
ports.
Pasture crops are coming thru in
good shape, and sweet clover and al
falfa has already begun the spring
growth, and the agents report that
the winter rye all over the state is
looking fine. Emmons county reports
that half of the wheat seeding has
been finished. Seeding has started
in the Missouri Slope district and
some has been finished in the north
eastern part of the state. With these
exceptions, the reports show that
only in isolated acses has any seed
ing been done.
