Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 21.—Out
of eleven talesmen who sat in the
jdry box at the McNamara murder
trial- yesterday, only six were left
when court adjourned until Monday.
Of these six, however, it is considered
more than possible that two, of per-
haps three, will And themselves on
the jury as it is sworn in. Those
locked up after having been passed
for cause by both sides were: Sea-
born Minning, rancher; F. I). Green,
orange grower; Robert F. Bain, car-
penter.
It is possible that all of these will
become members of the jury, no ani-
mus against any of them on either
side being apparent.
A. R. McIntosh, challenged by the
state because of his opposition to in-
fliction of the death penalty on cir-
cumstantial evidence, will be ques-
tioned by the court before he is held
or excused.

Revolting federal soldiers under Col-

pears to be a new rebellion on the
part of the "General" Banderas,
former revolutionary chief and erst-
while self-constituted governor of Si-
naloa, has caused a reign of terror
in this state. Col. Jose M. Oshoa,
chief of federal rurales with 250 men
has left here to occupy Sinaloa and
the arrival of more federals to sup-
press the growing disorders is eager-
ly awaited by the populace.
The revolt of the detachment com-

It is reported from all over the
state that fully 70 per cent of the
winter wheat crop of Oklahoma has
been planted and that the entire acre-
age will be in the ground by Novem-
ber 1. In the wheat district of north-
ern Oklahoma, where plenty of mois-
ture is in the ground, the wheat is
up and from three to six inches high.
It is estimated that a 25 per cent
acreage increase over last year is be-
ing made in the fall sowing.
The feature of especial interest,
which distinguishes the planting this
fall from previous planting is the In-
creased degree with which growers
are using the Turkey Red variety of
seed. This is a hard winter wheat
and brings a better price than the
soft or mixed varieties. The state
agricultural board estimates that if
farmers will grow hard wheat the
annual returns for Oklahoma will be
increased by a quarter of a million
dollars. As a consequence the board,
assisted by the railway companies
and the A. & M. college agencies, con-
ducted an extensive hard wheat seed
campaign last summer, which is hav-
ing a telling effect on the present
planting.

SW \ \SON COUNTY OFFICIALS
TO BE TBI ED TODAY.
Is Believed This Hearing Will Settle
the Matter for all Time
to Come.
Hobart, Oct. 21.—All the former
officials of Swanson county have been
placed under arrest and released un-
der bonds of $500 each for their ap-
pearance to answer to contempt
charges growing out of their refusal
to turn the records of the dissolved
county over to Receiver Terry. The
arrests were made by Sheriff Daniel
and two deputies without trouble.
Three of the officials appeared
hereto give bond and the res'* ffiiali-J
tied in the former district coinpris- j
ing Swanson county after the district
clerk had agreed to approve the bond.
Judge Tolbert is in the city and
will give them a hearing today. It is
thought that this proceeding will
tinallv end the long drawn out trou-
ble.
TOBACCO TRUST'S PLAN
WOULD GIVE NO RELIEF.
New York, Oct. 21.—After thor-
oughly studying the plan of disinte-
gration that has been filed by the
American Tobacco company with the
judges of the United States circuit
court, the attorney generals of Vir-
ginia, North Carolina and South
Carolina, who have been in confer-
ence here on this matter for two days,
nave reached the conclusion that the
scheme will offer no relief to the
tobacco growers of this country.
They furthermore express belief that
should this plan be adopted the vic-
tory of the government resulting from
the decision of the United States
supreme court would be a "barren
one."

New York, Oct 21. -Bradstreet's
says:
Though trade trends show little
definite change, it probably is true
that retail business in the larger
cities has expanded with cooler
weather and the advance of the sea-
son. Yet this improvement is by no
means uniform, too much rain in the
northwest and along the Atlantic
seaboard hampering shopping, while
low cotton prices have affected south-
ern trade collections. Incidentally J
the country districts as a whole show-
that retail business in this respect
is rather slow. Returns as to job-
bing and wholesale lines tell of a
reasonable degree of activity in dry
goods, furniture, shops and the lint, j
but it is claimed that interior distri-
butors continue to buy on a hand to
mouth basis, though most purchasers
call for immediate shipment. Cotton
goods are still being gradually re-
duced in keeping as it were, with the
declines in raw cotton and this situa-
tion tends to render buyers cautious
because lacking confidence in the
stability of prices.
Tulsa now has seven banks. The
latest to organize is the Tulsa State
bank with a capital stock of $50,000.
OKLAHOMA CITY'S MAYOR
DEMURS TO PETITION.
Oklahoma City, Oct. 21,- A de-
murrer to the petition filed by Wil-
liam Ribble against Whit M. Grant
and others was docketed with the
clerk of the district court yesterday.
The action brought by Ribble was for
the removal of the present city com-
missioners from office, on the ground
that the charter under which they
were elected was never properly
adopted. The three grounds set up
by the defendants are that the facts
set out are not sufficient to consti-
tute a cause of action, that the plain-
I tiff has no legal capacity to sue, and
| the facts set out are not sufficient to
I afford his grounds for the relief
I sought.
POSTMISTRESS WAS
QUITE ECONOMICAL.
Guthrie, Oct. 21.—Mrs. Fannie
Fribble, postmaster at Lambert in
Alfalfa county has been arrested by-
Deputy United States Marshal Dick
Brownlee on a federal indictment on
which charges her with using can-
celed postal stamps for her private
correspondence.
The state school land department
received notice Friday of the opening
of the sale of tracts in Woods county.
The sale opened at Alva Thursday.
Out of forty-nine tracts appraised at
$35,569.44, the tracts were sold for
$38,824, a gain of $3,255. Prefer-
ence rights were exercised on the
greater portion of the land at the
opening sale.
