Another Jury Unable
to Determine Fate of
Slayer of J. r. Moody

For the third time a Holmes county
jury has disagreed as to the guilt or in.
noncence of Tillman Branch young At
tala county farmer charged with tho
murder of J. R. Moody, marshal of the
town of Goodman about two years ago.
The records of the case show that
Branch on the fateful day, drove his au-
tomobile through the streets Of Good
man at rate of speed thought by the
marshal to have been in excess of the
speed limit. He attempted to place
Branch under arrest, a physical encoun-
ter followed, ended by four shots from
the revolver Of the accused man, two
of which proved fatal. The state claim
ed that Branch resisted arrest, that in
the struggle he was constantly striving
to release his right hand from the grasp
of Mr.. Moody that he might kill him,
that the desire was effected, whereupon
defense claimed that Mr.. Moody was un-
necessarily rough; that he mainland
led the defendant that he uttered words
and demonstrated by action that which
led the defendant to believe his life
was in danger, that he reached for his
revolver, whereupon defendant fired in
defense of his own life
In the first jury deadlock, eleven ju-
rors voted for conviction, one for acquit-
tai; in the second, four voted for con-
viction and eight for acquittal; in the
third trial, from which the jurors were
released at noon Friday, seven voted for
acquittal and five for conviction.
Because of the general knowledge OF
the circumstances of the alleged crime
and the consequent bias in opinion, a
special venire of 800 was required, and
two days were spent in quest of a jury.
The evidence was completed Wednesday,
and arguments closed Thursday.

May Hunt Deer for
3 Days this Month

Acting according to their own best
judgment the Board of Supervisors has
passed an order permitting the killing
of deer for three days-November 18th,
18th and 17th, which is Tuesday, We'd
nesday and Thursday of next week.
Friends of wild life conservation
should not be unduly depressed at the
apparent weakening. The Board men,
bers were strongly solicited to permit
an open season
1t will be remembered that does and
spotted fawns may not be killed at any
time and this provision holds good. Also
the days bag limit is one deer. That
one must be buck, of course. A num-
ber of Wardens will be in the deer ter
ritory with instructions to see that only
bucks are killed. They will operate in
pairs so that I may have two witnesses
in any necessary prosecution.
There is an excellent seeding of deer
in this county and it is regrettable
that they should be chased at this time
Many fauns have been dropped in this
~~"~+- ---' -7'l -.~s~.-,iy sGay here
The three days continual chasing will
probably run many of them permanently
off
Also number of bucks are necessary
and if all of them are killed the does
will leave-necessarily.
At times | have an impulse that it
might be better to wipe out our game
entirely. After some fifteen years we
could proceed by slow and expensive
methods to restock. But calmer view
indicates that it is better and faster
to keep up the fight for conservation
accepting such set-backs as come as an
unavoidable incident to progress.
There are more deer and more other
game than has been in the county for
many years. Let US see that it increas-
es. individuals must exercise restraint.
H. w. WATSON, Game Warden.

WEATHER F0RECASTER PREDICTED 1927 TO BE YEAR 0F NJ SUMMER
TRACED INFLUENCE OF CYCLES BACK TO PHARAOH FAMINE
 17OO B. C.

WASHINGTON, D. Q. July (H)-| Herbert Janvrin Browne, ocean me teorologist and long range weather forecaster, points out, in a statement written for the press, that the Wea- ther thus far in 1927 bears out the forecasts which he made as long ago as 1923. The statement contains the text of the forecasts, and is followed by review of weather conditions, in all parts of the world, since last fall, when the abnormal period set in.
 This is to be, according to MT. Browne. "a year without a summer" l. like 1916, and the underlying cause lis the sun spots which control the radiation of the suns heat. The spots recur at regular intervals of slightly more than eleven years, and 1927 is multiple of these intervals since l1s16.
 T have traced the influence of these cycles,' he says, mot only back to the famine of Diocletian, 300 A. D., but back to the famine of Pha- raoh, about 170O B. C. Their effects will vary through more or less per feet or imperfect conjunctions with other causations, but they are always pointers to adverse weather and crop onditions as far back as history furnishes records of weather catas- trophes"
 The suns radiation determines the | temperature of ocean water which, because of it's saltness, MT. Browne says, absorbs and retains heat. The ocean currents have more to do with terrestrial weather than anything else, although secondary causes are found on the land surfaces.
 One of the best known cycles in solar radiation is the sun-spot cycle, averaging slightly over eleven years. | nf ioI1 tO 55.S years. run coincidentally with three lunar-solar periods of 1S.6 years. In other words, every 55.S years there is return of coincidence of the lunar solar and sun-spot cycle, ex- ercising a profound and measurable influence on oceanic conditions and on the weather of the world. One of these took place in 1916; the second one from 1916 is due this year, and is already in operation
 It is interesting to note that Dr. c. G. Abbott, assistant secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, enter tains views respecting long range weather forecasting that are some what similar to those of MT. Browne. Dr. Abbott is scientist Of world wide reputation. At his request, Congress has established third ob- servatory for the measurement of solar radiation. It is on the east coast of Africa. Of the two others, one is in Arizona and the other atop of the Andes, in Peru
