Thralls fled after the shooting, but was caught hiding in a hall way in thesame block where the killing took place. A mob of 500 men assembled, bent upon lynching Thralls, but a force of offi- cials prevented their efforts. Thralls ‘was spirited into an alley and through a newspaper office to a side street where he was placed in an automobile and rushed to the county jail at Carthage. The shooting took place in a butch- er shop owned by Skelton. Mrs. Thralls conducted a small grocery in the same building. Thralls entered the place tonight and opened fire on Skelton, the first bullet entering his side. Skelton ran and was shot a second and third time before he =| reached the’side walk. He died with- in five minutes. Thralls’ divorced wife upon learn- ing of the shooting, ran to Skelton’s side and was with him when he died. She is in a serious condition. Before LKY KILLS McCARTY - IN FIRST ROUND | Heavy-Weight Pugilist, Hit Under ¥ Heart, Dies Within Eight Minutes. Calgary, Alberta, May 24.—Luther ‘McCarty, claimant of the white heavy- weight championship of the world, today took the count of ten from Ref- eree Edward Smith of Chicago, which marked him the loser in the ten-round fight with Arthur Pelkey, and eight minutes later was dead. ‘ His death was caused by a chance | blow delivered in the region of the solar plexus, after exactly 1 minute land 45 seconds of fighting time had elapsed. Arthur Pelkey was arrested on the charge of manslaughter by the North- western Mounted Police and released Fon bail. There had been one or two mix-ups of an inconsequential kind, then came a clinch. Referee Smith separated the men. ‘Both squared. off, neither seeming to be the worse for the clinch. Suddenly McCarty was seen to double up in a crouching attitude. To the spectators it looked as if his crouch simply was a fighting pose. He crouched lower and lower, how- ever, his eyes rolling. Then he col- lapsed and fell full length on the floor. Ending Shocks Great Crowd The referee, assuming McCarty had been knocked out, stood over him to count off the fatal seconds. It was the final count for the young fighter. Arthur Pelkey, winner of the bat- tle at such heavy cost, stood at one side of his fallen adversary. He scarcely could realize what had hap- pened. ; By this time the referee had be- come alarmed. He called for a doc- tor; several responded. The mount- ed police were called in to clear the ring of the crowd, which had swarmed over the ropes. The physicians worked over the stricken man eight minutes, when they pronounced him dead, but con- tinued their efforts to resuscitate him by artificial respiration for more than an hour. Snore Basis for New Trial Los Angeles, Cal., May 23.—A loud and raucous snore formed the basis for a motion for a new trial filed today in behalf of Lee Rial, alleged head of a “national bunco syndicate,’ who was convicted last week of having swindled G. T. Pfeize, an Illinois farmer, out of $500 through a fake horse race. The defendant asserted that he had not been given a fair trial because a juror, George H. Peck, a millionaire realty operator of San Pedro, had fal- len asleep and snored repeatedly dur- ing the proceeding of the case, despite apparent efforts to keep him awake by chewing gum and fanning himself. It was asserted that on a single day Peck had fallen asleep as many as thirteen times. Judge Finlayson, who had set today as the time for imposing sentence up- on Rial, continued the case until Mon- BAKING tect you from the in the ready made From a Wool Grower ‘Fo the Editor of the Republic. Have been reading an article in| your paper entitled, “‘And Now For, Schedule K.” It isa strong and just} indictment of the tariff on wool, with | the exception of one paragraph, in} herds, like Senator Warren, to get) paragraph you do a great and, I am sure, an unintentional wrong to the flock masters of the United States. They have never, as far as I know, | received any protection from the tariff; it has all gone into the pockets | of the mannfacturers. I am a life-| long sheepman, I know whereof I} speak, to my cost. Last fall I was| visited about shearing time by a gen-| tleman, who had been for years in- terested in New Zealand and Argen- tine wools, I asked him to sample and grade my clip and say what it would bring on the London market. After a careful examination, he‘ said it would bring at present about 253 A, adding that he had never seen better wool, even in New Zealand. AsI get London quotations and am a fair) judge of wool I knew his estimate was about right. But I sold this! “highly protected’ wool for 174 A, and it was the top price paid in this country. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. When Cleveland | was elected I owned 1,600 sheep and, was making a good living for my} family. Three years later I was working for $15 a month and for such of my impoverished neighbors as still kept their business up. But it was not the want of protection that killed the wool business, and decimi- nated the flocks, for the depression in business was general and wide- spread, and was caused, inmy opin- ion, by a scarcity of ready money, caused by so much of the circulating day to give the prosecution an oppor- tunity to respond to the motion of the defense. Mark Ozark Trail to South. Neosho, Mo., May 24.—That part of the Ozark trail extending southeast through Aroma, Stark City and Fair- view was marked by W. H. Harvey of Monte Ne, Ark., today. The trail reaches Neosho via Joplin and covers a distance of 1,500 miles, terminating at Monte Ne. It reaches to St. Louis on the east, Kansas City and Emporia, Kan., on the north, Oklahoma City and: Wichita on the west and Monte medium being absorbed by the enor- mous bond issues, necesitated by the wiping out of the revenue. Nothing like this will result from the present Democratic policy, which has my hearty approval, although I have on hand more sheep than when the Cleveland administration ruined me and every one I knew, for the ruin was by no means confined to the sheep business in this State. Cattle were selling at $14 per head before election and I saw them sell for $2.50 on credit, two years later. I must say we had a succession of dry years at that time, but, although that made @REAM You will find it a great satisfaction to do More Home Baking You will make biscuit, cake and pastry clean, fresh and tasty—better every way. than the ready made foods. ; Dr. Price’s Baking Powder is specially devised for home use, and makes home baking easy and a delight.

Ninety-two cubic feet of oxygen pumped into the respiratory system of George Luker of Milwaukee, by a pulmotor saved him from the certain | effects of eight grains of morphine. Luker was found on the street at 6 o’clock last night unconscious. Ex- amination failed to show any signs of lifeatall. The body of the man was blue. |His stomach was emptied of alcohol ‘and morphine and the pulmotor was | set to work. At 8 o’clock there were still no signs of vitality. More oxygen was sent for. Four hours later the pulse began to beat faintly. Another tank of oxygen was sent for. An hour later Luker gave a groan. At 12:15 o’clock he became conscious and said he was sick. During the process of pumping ox- ygen Luker’s body was slapped with boards to stimulate the nerve centers into activity. Letters in Luker’s pockets showed that he had lived in Milwaukee and had trouble with his relatives. He is 28 years old and unmarried. He was unable to give an account of his action. The physicians said that the morphine was evidently taken with suicidal intent. Convicts Travel by Boat Jefferson City, Mo., May 24.— When the Kansas City Navigation Company’s steamer Chester tied up at the Penitentiary dock, thirty pris- oners in charge of Martin J. Crowe, Marshal of Jackson County, marched over the gang-plank and up the hill. The sentences of the newly arrived convicts range from two years to life. The boat left Kansas City Thursday morning and there was a good stage of water. The prisoners were kept hand-cuffed. Primarily the trip was made by boat for the reason that the naviga- tion company made a cheaper rate than the railroad made. Marshal Crowe said the saving is not great, but everybody enjoyed the novelty of the boat ride on the Mis- Ne ; M , Okla., on th going to the meat market Thralls @ and Muskogee, Okla, on the went to his former wife’s home, but Much of the trail in southeast Mis- sour has been marked during the lagt‘week by good roads advocates. part of the trail from Diamond ‘Francisco, Cal:, May 24 —First| written by John J. on papers have been grant-| of the famous Monitor, which: bad matter worse for us, the depres-| souri, sion was general in the United States.| In the days of steamboati Ihave only to add that Iam not now Bhcd.chgeg fate giemameny ~ and have never been affiliated with | convicts to.be brought to the Peni- any political party, having always |tentiary by boat, but such a thing has been an independent.
