(By Telegram to Daily Worker)
CHA TT ANOOGA,
Tenn, Jan. 15.-Hunts-
vile, Alabama, police
are desperately trying
to suppress a letter
written by Ruby Bates in which
she admits that she lied against
the nine innocent Scottsboro
boys. Ruby Bates was the
chief witness of the State in
the lynch trials at Scottsboro, Ala
bana, in which of the boys were
railroaded to death sentences. A
rnistrial occurred in the case of IA
year old Roy Wright, the min boy.
The letter of Ruby Bates was
written to her lover, who had
abandoned her, In her letter she
declared the boys had never
touched her.
The letter corroborates the re-
peated statements by the boys that
Ruby had denied having any trouble
whatever with the boys when she was
first taken from the freight train at
Paint Rock. Ruby was forced to lie
against the boys by State officials
who threatened to prosecute her for
prostitution unless she played game
of framing up the nine innocent Ne
gro children.
The existence OF the letter has
caused quite a furore in this city.
Even the Chattanooga News, which
all along has been yelling for the
blood of the boys and which gleefully
hailed the attack of Mr.. Pickens, of
the N.A.ACP. on the defense, has
been forced to question the Scots
boro lynch verdicts.

Fatal Disease Is

80 Head of Swine Die on One
Farm; Cholera Diagnosis
Is Doubted

Fearful lest a new and terribly
disease had broken out among hogs
of southeastern Minnesota. state
veterinarians Tuesday concentrated
on a farm near Wacouta to study
the circumstances under which 80
hogs in one drove have died in the
past few days.
A preliminary diagnosis of hog
cholera has not been borne out by
preventative measures taken by
the veterinarians and the symp-
toms of the diseased animals have
resembled cholera only to a GER
tain extent.
Other complications have killed
some of the animals within an
hour after they came in contact
with the diseased animals. These
complications are something new,
it was said.
DR.. c. A. Knorth, veterinarian,
who called in the state doctors,
said that the disease as yet has
been localized to one herd. Every
animal taken ill has died.
Representatives of the state live
stock sanitary board and veterin-
arians of the University form
school have conducted several post
mortems without definitely fixing
the cause of death.

Mrs. Frank Head Had Been

NATIVE OF NEW YORK

Mrs. Frank Head, a very highly
respected resident of the Sank Cen.
tire community since 1891, died at
the family residence six miles
southwest of the city, West Union

young womanhood in her native
community where she was united
in marriage to Frank Head, Feb.
%, 1887.
Very soon after their marriage
Mr.. and Mrs. Head moved to Els
boro, N. D. Four years later they
located on the farm southwest of
the city, where she passed away.
Mrs. Head was operated upon
for a cancerous growth Dec. %,
1881. She must have suffered for a
long time before the operation, but
as far as her family knew she was
enjoying her usual good health
For weeks before her passing Mrs.
Head was confined to her bed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Head were not
blessed with any children. They
did raise two nieces, however: Doris
Lee, now Mrs. Ray Monroe, of Wat
ford City, N. D.. and Estella Nc.

WARSAW, N. Y. Aside from the hus-
band and two nieces the only near
relative surviving is a sister, Mrs.

Early in life Mrs. Head became
affiliated with the Methodist Epis-
copal church. For many years she
was active in the Ladies' Aid and
generally took a deep interest in
affairs of her beloved church. She
was a member of the Royal Neigh
bors lodge of this city.
Dignified, yet friendly and ex-

HARNESS HORSE RACES
Directors are Enthusiastic at
Prospects of 1888 Exhibi-
tion-Unusual Features

A full attendance Of the directors
of the Agricultural Society, of
Stearns County, was at the meet
ing held at the Community Club
rooms Tuesday evening.
President J. B. Schoenhoff pre-
sided, with w. A. Moore officiating
at his position as secretary. The
primary purpose of the meeting
was to lay as definite plans as
possible for the 1888 Fair which
will be held at Saux Centre, Satur-
day, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday,
July I, 2, 8 and 4.
Saturday will be Entry Day. An
admission will be charged on this
day, but those purchasing tickets
can attend the first real day of the
Fair, Sunday, without additional
admission.
Heretofore entry day has been
free. The officers have long since
discovered that many people visit
the fair entry day, see everything
but the free acts and do not re-
turn again until the next year.
The fair proper will open with
the annual Spelling and Intelligence
contests between the Rural and
Graded Schools of the county.
Supt.- w. A. Kohl, Of the Sank
Centre Public Schools, plans to CO
operate with Co. Supt. Boerger and
enlist the students Of the Public
schools in a similar contest, separ-
ate and distinct.
Paul Domke, one of the directors,
and well kown wrestler, suggested
that an athletic program between
amateurs be planned for each af-
afternoon and evening in front of
the grand stand, as part of the
amusement program. The sugges-
tions of Mr.. Domke sounded so
feasible to the board that Mr.. DOM
Ike was delegated to go ahead and
work out such program and re-
port at the next meeting of the
directors to be held in January,
probably.
1t was voted to have a ball game
Sunday, July 2, between Melrose,
Brooten, preferably. Ed L. Rattle,
of the Herald, was appointed as a
committee to handle this feature.
Messrs. Hill and Eastman, of
Glenwood, president and secretary
of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Driving
Club, met with the directors and
discussed plans for two days of
harness racing at the 1888 fair.
This group brought 26 horses to
the 1882 fair. They furnished some
splendid sport. They were anxious
to return next year, and the direc-
tors were anxious to have them.
