Farm Coup Talked

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK. Aug. 15.-Chairman
John J. Raskob of the Democratic
national committee is studying a
novel farm relief proposal which
would involve formation of a mar
keting corporation by some of Gov
ernor Alfred E. Smiths wealthy
friends to aid farmers.
Under the plan, the friends would
put up 100000 as working capital
and lend cooperative units to finance
holding of crops. The plan would
become operative Immediately, its
design being to offer farmers definite
farm relief during the campaign.
The proposal was formulated by a
former farm leader, now engaged in
other business. He participated in
farm relief discussions at the Hous-
ton convention, and was for several
years an officer in one OF the large
farm organizations. He has dis
cussed the plan with prominent
bankers, including Otto, H. Kahn, as
we'll as with Raskob.

FAMILY ROW IS HALTED
Police Arrest Negro Couple; Both
Treated at Hospital.

A water pitcher proved to be a
better weapon than a smoking stand
in a family row halted by police
early today. The combatants we're
Samuel Jackson, 81, Negro, and his
wife, Harriet Jackson, "a, Negro, 239
N. Illinois st.
Both were taken to city hospital
and then to city prison to face
charges of assault and battery.
Jackson's head required eight
stitches as a result of the water
pitcher assault. While he admitted
that he hit his wife with smok-
ing stand, her only injury was a
slight cut on one hand, caused by

Aided IN crime.
Supports Bishop in Taking
Blame; Says Mother

BY G. F. FINE
United Press staff Corresnondsnt


MEXICO CITY. Aug. 15.-Jose De,
Leon Toral, confessed assassin of
President Elect Alvaro Obregon, to-
day had sought to switch any blame
from the Roman Catholic clergy
even while the government was pre-
senting new evidence to link Mother
Superior Conception more closely
with the crime.
Toral sent a statement from the
prison, where he awaits trial for the
murder, upholding the recent state
ment of Bishop Della Moras that
the clergy had no part in the shoot
ing to death Of General Obregon.
"The bishops words are entirely
sensible and I am confident that
President Gales and directors Of
the Obregonista party will see the
merit Of them" Torals statement
said.
Takes Full Blame
IT never have said I considered
myself the agent of God. If I con-
sidered myself so and had proof.
such as Joan of Arcs voice, it would
be a sacrilege to think Of any re-
traction.
Il can die happiest if I know that
my blood will be the last shed in
this cause"
Meanwhile Valente Quintana,
chief Of the Secret Service, has
given testimony that further i'm
plicates Mother Superior conception
in the crime. He testified that when
Toral was taken to the Mother
Superior's home, shortly after the
crime, the first question the assas-
sin asked was:
Mother Held as Aid
Mother, are you ready to die
with me?"
The defense vigorously contra
dicted this testimony. in previous
claims, pointing out that the Moth
err Superior's conduct at the time
Toral was taken before her was
such that she showed no knowledge
Of the crime.
The Mother Superior is held as
one Of the accessories and is blamed
as the intellectual sponsor Of the
killing Of the president-elect.

CHICKENS CAUSE
OF GOLD RUSH
PIONEERS RECALL EXCITEMENT Oh
80 YEARS AGO ON CANYON
CREEK NEAR BILLINGS
Nuggets Found In Gizzards of Some OF
Mrs. Arthur SansOme's Flock of Poul-
try Caused Prospectors to Swarm Into
Country and Sink Shafts to Bedrock

About 80 years ago Billings was the
center of q gold nugget excitement
similar to hat which has followed the
discovery of nuggets In a turkeys giZ-
gard on a ranch near Red Lodge re-
Gently, according to old timers.
The find was at the Arthur Sansome
ranch near Canyon Creek west OF Billings.
Mrs. Sansome owned a flock of fine poul-
try and was one of the first persons in
that section tor aise chickens On a fairly
large scale. One day in dressing a chick
en-, some gold nuggets which assayed
about rs cents each, were found in It's
crop. A watch was kept and several
other fowls we're also found that had
picked up gold nuggets.
1t was Just after the Klondike gold
rush excitement and Dan Ross, who COM
mitted suicide las fall. had just re-
turned from the upper k country.
He and Joseph Sansome, a brother OF the
ranch owner, Immediately set to work
looking for gold, according to /. D.
O'Donnell. They traced signs of the gold
to a shallow well on the ranch and be-
gan enlarging and ~excavating the hole
MIR. ODonnell says that he frequently
saw them at work although they were
quite mysterious about what they were
doing.
Word Of Find Spreads
The word Of the find, however, spread
and more than one OF the old ~prospectors
around Billings went to the scene of the
diggings. A. P. Hart, who Is now bailify
OF the federal district court OF Montana,
was n h made a serious effort to
locate the gold which the chicken had
revealed.
Mr.. Hart says that he sank q sluice box
where there was good prospects on the
~ ond Aro1lu rot INxVx ~ A1J~1nI
There was q good showing of gold but
nothing that you'd pay for development.
The experience of the other miners was
the same and the excitement finally died
down.
According to Mr.. Hart, who has pros
pected at various times in all parts Of
the west since 1859, theer is a glacial
drift which extends from the Beartooth
mountains east into the Crow reserva-
ton and for a number OF miles north
and east OF Billings. Traces OF gold have
been found in nearly all the coulees
around Billings, as well as other places
where this drift is to be found.
Diggings Didn't Pay
There are many sections Of the noun
tains around Billings where gold can be
in the Clark's Fork Inc its tributaries.
Much gold was secured throughout this
region In the early times.
In their prospecting, the old miners
found many places which did not pay
we'll enough to continue working. At
that time, they had to pay a dollar a
pound for sugar and potatoes n flour
cost from 400 to 5000 a sack. Diggings
which did not pay at least $40 q day were
not considered worth bothering with. But
today q prospector could make money II
he could pan out @10 q day.
Most OF the old prospectors are gone,
however, and a few people today have
either the knowledge Of gold mining OF
the patience and willingness to edure
hardship which the work entails, accord
ing to Mr.. Hart.
