SIS Families Rescued by Sick Man

Washington.-A drunken man held
5 families prisoners with a revolver
in a downtown apartment building, I'M
til a sick mar arose from his bed and
knocked out the miscreant with a base
ball bat. After a quarrel with a
woman and a futile attempt at suicide,
Sam Armor, racing through the halls
of the building, revolver in hand, held
its occupants covering in their apart
ments, threatening to kill the first who
emerged until George R. Kidwell rose
from his sick bed and broke the bull
dozer's arm with a baseball bat.

WHEAT ACREAGE DROPS 1926
PER CENT, SAYS CROP REPORT

Observation-Disclosures producers have
needed to som degree warnings of ag-
ricultural experts to reduce their
acreage, it was indicated in Wednes-
days report of the department of agri-
culture, which announced 40,191,O0
acres had been sown to winter wheat
this fall. That is a reduction of 500
900 acres. or 1875 per cent from the
acreage own a year ago, but the area
is 1911 per cent above the pre-war
-190G1913-average annual sowing.
The estimate of sowing is closely in
line with the governments August Sc

which placed the acreage at 100000,
or 15.5 per cent below last years SOW
ing.
A forecast of production was not
made in connection with the acreage
and condition report. The condition
of the crop December 1, was SO per
cent of a normal, which is 1.5 points
better than the 10-year average condi-
ton on that date, showing the crop
goes into winter in good condition. If

WILL QUIZ SOVIET
ACTIVITY IN STATES
Pro-Russian Senators Take Exception
To Hughes Disclosures and
Demand Probe

Washington. - The state depart
ment's charge of revolution soviet
propaganda in the United States
startled diplomatic circles here and
launched the new senate upon its first
debate over foreign affairs, and re-
suited in a promise of further disclos-
ures that will bring the whole problem
| of Russia once more into review before
the American public.
Senators who repeatedly have urged
formal recognition of the soviet regime
in Russia started the senate debate
by assailing Secretary Hughes dis
closures of soviet instructions" for a
movement designed to raise the red
flag over the White house. Both Sen
ator Borah, Republican, Idaho, and
Senator Norris, Republican, Nebraska,
openly charged that there was no
proof of such activities.
Although no general reply came from
administration quarters. Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, the Republi-
can floor leader, that a
sweeping inquiry into the entire Rus
sian question would be undertaken by
the foreign relations committee.
AT the same time it was disclosed
that the state department had addi-
tional ammunition in reserve for the
expected battle over recognition, in CO.
operation with the department of JUS
tice. Secretary Hughes has been col
lecting evidence that he believes will
establish beyond doubt the direct re-
sponsibility of Moscow for a we'll de-
fined movement to undermine the gov
eminent of the United States.

DENTON REACHED 100000 MARK
IN MILLION BUSHEL DRIVE

Prediction that the total wheat crop
marketed at Denton this year would
reach the 9O0,0 OO-bushel mark seems
to have been verified, according to re-
liable authorities. Already AS car
loads have been shipped from the four
local elevators, and this, with the
wheat still in storage, brings the total
we'll over 100000 bushels. Between
100 and 125 carlaods of wheat are still
to be hauled and shipped, it is esti-
mated.
Although the total crop equals that
of the bumper year of 1916, the aver
age yield to the acre was not up to
standard. Some of the largest yields
in the history Of this section were re-
ported, but there was a considerable
number of poor yields, due mostly to
"slipshod" farming. This section was
particularly fortunate in not being
damaged, to any great extent, by hail.
The season will go down in the history
of this territory as a banner year, and
places Denton at the head of towns in
this state, as well as in several others,
as one Of the largest wheat shipping
points.

buffalo and deer always found the
greenest pastures. This furnished the
Blackfeet with the best natural food
and clothing supply offered by nature

Recent years of adverse weather
conditions affected the Blackfeet in
their civilized confines of reservation
life, but they now have come back
through their agricultural efforts and
today raise the best Of food for their

effect with the tribe, the government

JURY RECOMMENDS MERCY
Prison Walls; Mercy Plea of
Jury Saved Neck

Atlanta, Georgia.-"Guilty of muir
der with recommendation for mercy
was the verdict returned against Philip
E. Fox, Ku Klux Khan editor who
killed William S. Coburn, a khan attor-
ney, in Atlanta, November s..
The verdict, under Georgia laws
provides a life Imprisonment sentence.
AT the request of the defense, the jury
was polled. 1t was unanimous. Hear
ing of evidence and arguments occu-
pied the court more than a week.
Fox stood up. He shook his head
in the negative when the judge asked
if he desired to say anything.
"You shall spend the balance of your
natural life in the penitentiary of this
state" the judge said.
But for the recommendation OF
mercy the penalty would have been
death by hanging.
Fox trembled and his head dropped
heavily on his chest.
Judge Howard directed the defend
ant to sit down. Two bailiffs steadied
the trembling man as he sank into his
chair. The court then cautioned all
spectators to remain seated. Twenty
or more policemen, headed by Chief OF
Police Beavers and the b~ailiffs, sur
rounded Fox and he was escorted from
the courthouse.
Neither Mrs. Fox nor her S-year-old
son were present when the verdict was
read. Mrs. Coburn, widow of the slain
man, and her daughter, Zoe Coburn,
also were absent.
There was not a stir in the court
room when the verdict was read. Seven
minutes were required for the entire
procedure to take place. AS the YER
dict was being read, Fox sat at a table,
his head resting on his hands. He was
pale. His face twitched and his legs
shook.
