AFTER VIGILANTES
''CLEAN Up" TOWN

HARRISON, Ark, Jan. 19,-F'ol-
lowing two days of intense excite
ment, the result Of armed action"
by citizens gathered here from a
radius of $50 miles, in which one
man was lynched, another wounded
during a roundup" of alleged
strikers, and more than 200 persons
were forced to leave the community
by a committee g 1000" Harri-
son took on normal atmos-
phere. Further trouble was not
expected to follow the cleanup" off
persons believed to be guilty of. or
had knowledge of the bridge burn
ings and other depredations along
the line of the Missouri and North
Arkansas railroad
The body of E. G. Gregor, alleged
striking shop worker, was found
Tuesday morning hanging from a
railway trestle. Oregon is said to
have resisted attempts of the com
mittee of 1,000'-an investigating
body of citizens-when they sought
Monday night to, question him re-
garding the identity of persons sus-
pected of carrying on a campaign
of sabotage. Oregon is said to have
opened fire when called on to sur
render. Later he was captured by
pursuing posse and hanged from
the trestle.
A brakeman named Green, an en-
ploye of the M. & N. A, was struck
in the arm. His injury is not Sc
riOus.
Shortly after the capture of Gre
gor, George w. O'Neal, local hotel
owner and capitalist, who is said to
have furnished bail bond for many
strikers, charged with sabotage, was
taken from his home and whipped.
Night Marshal Rash, who was &C
cused by the committee of being a
strike sympathizer, also was flogged
and ordered to leave town. E. d.
Stephens, a former engineer, want
ed by the committee, was not located.
Governor McRae, who had been ap-
pealed to for troops, hurriedly sent
joint message to the legislature
asking for authority to dispatch
troops to the affected district, and,
if necessary, declare martial law.
Both houses Of the general assembly
immediately dulnOIlAeu Inc SAoCuIINS
to act and troops were ordered to en-
train. Later advices from the Boone
county officials stating the situation
had improved, however, caused the
governor to suspend indefinitely the
order for military action.
The "citizens' court"-twelve men
appointed by the COMMITTEE of
1000" to continue the investigation
Of the M. & N. A. property destruc-
tion-was said to have requested the
resignation of the mayor, town mar
shall and a number Of aldermen and
to have discussed a special election
to choose their successors.

Citrus Fruit
Not many years ago the own
ership of an orange or lemon
grove in California was a liabil-
ity not an asset. It was a nice
toy for wealthy men who did
not mind taking a loss, or get
ting freight bills as returns aft
er making a shipment, but as
a means OF making a living, it
was nothing, minus.
They tried to organize on a
locality basis, and they were
disappointed. Buyers pitted the
local associations against each
othec, and they failed to get re-
suits. SO they united into a
big California Fruit Growers
Exchange, and the citrus fruit
industry in California today, is
a profitable industry, and has
been fo:' years.

An oyster eighty years old has been
taken from Delaware bay, it Is report
ed. Scientific investigators agree and
assert that the age of an oyster Is In
Dictated by the ridges or waterlines on
It's shell, just as the age Of tree is
indicated by the annual rings that
form on its trunk.

year, according to these savants, up to
the fortieth year. After that the shell
takes on one only every ten years
