The experimental farm at

OKLAHOMA VETS
TO PRESS KILLING
OF TWO CITIZENS

Tecumseh, Okla, July 9.-Whlle
funeral services were held at a
rural church near here this after
noon for James Harris, "a, and Os-
car Lowry, "a, victims of a liquor
raid shooting Thursday, w. w.
Thomason, federal prohibition
agent, and three men who were &C
companying him at the time of the
shooting remained in Jail under
murder charges filed by Randall
Pitman, county attorney.
Pitman meanwhile continued his
investigation of the Staying of the
two men which he has declared was
brutal murder" Thomason and
the three men working with him,
Jeff d. Harris, Tom Little and
John D. Williams, will be given
preliminary hearings Tuesday.
James Harris and Lowery were
brothers-in-law and neighboring
farmers. Both were veterans of
overseas service in the World war
and they were accorded military
funeral rites by the Shawnee Am
erican Legion post, which has gone
on record by resolution as urging
'the fullest prosecution possible Of
those responsible for the deaths"
Stories Conflict
Jeff Harris told Pitman, the lat
ter said, that he fired the shots
which fatally wounded the two
farmers. He declared James Har-
ris approached him with a shotgun
and that he fired in self-defense.
The farmer, before he died, said
he was shot after he had thrown
down his weapon at the raiders
command. Lowery was shot as he
started to run, Jeff Harris said.
Thomson and three men accom-
panying him intimated they had
stopped in the vicinity to investi-
gate reports of liquor on another
farm and that their visit to James
Harris farm was extemporaneous.
They had no search warrant for
the Harris farm, they said, and
they had not previously planned to
search it.
No liquor was found at the Har-
ris place. Jeff Harris, Little and
Williams had been working as pro-
hibition undercover men, enforce
ment officers said, but were not
federal officers.

opportunity of viewing the latest
developments in farm machinery
and mechanical equipment used in
low-cost wheat production. The
many different kinds of tractors,
the blowing, cultivating and sum-
mer fallow machinery viii be in
operation during the day. Other
machines for use in seeding, har-
vesting and threshing will be on
display and run for the benefit OF
the visitors.
In addition to the machinery or
display, the records kept since the
installation of the farm will be
available to the visitors to show
how progress has been made in re.
ducing cost of production through
the use of machinery.

ROOSEVELT CO.
FARMERS UNION
Is ORGANIZED
Volt Man Is Prs1dent of Country
Group. Marketing Is Stressed.
200 Members Enrolled.

Wolf Point, July 5.-Nearly 200
farmer union members from vari-
Gus parts of Roosevelt county met
at Wolf Point on June % to per-
feet a county organization.
At a business meeting IN the
forenoon seven directors were
elected and from this number Of
ficers were chosen. Julius Cess of
Wolf Point was elected president,
l. L. Ramstad of the Pershing
community, vice president, and R.
A. Harbo of Froid, secretary-treas-
urer. Other directors are r. E.
Nesbit, Mineral Bench; Oscar Mel
son, Bainville; Jacob Thompson,
McCabe, and w. A. Feick, Volt.
The name chosen was Roosevelt
County Farmers Union.
A constitution was adopted and
it was decided to hold meetings on
the fourth Monday in March, June,
September and December. The
next meeting will be at Culbertson.
A. w. Kicker, editor of the Far
mers Union Herald, presided and
addressed the meeting. There was
a program of talks
T. A. Croll, assistant manager
| of the Farmers Union Terminal
association, spoke on marketing
and shipping and outlined the tank
program. He said it will be pos
sible for farmers to get grain tanks
from the union on time and that
arrangements will be made for
shareholders in the terminal asso-
citation to borrow money to enable
members to hold grain on the farm
instead of dumping it on the mar
ket Immediately after harvest.
Mr.. Croll urged members to
market grain through their own
terminal organization, which has
seat on the Twin City board of
trade. The organization sold more
than 100000 bushels of wheat
last year. At this stage of de-
velopment the organization does
not pay patronage dividends but
grain commissions are turned back
into an organization fund.
If it were only possible for the
Montana farmer to control the
marketing of the high protein
wheat raised in the state, it would
mean much to the prosperity Of
the state" said R. A. Harbo, sec.
