with Mrs. Hawkins last midnight. In-
flict i ig a dangerous and possibly fatal
wound
Mis. Hawkins now has a suit for
dhoi e pending. She had been
horseback riding with Russell and bhe
cutting took place at the Rice stables
327 West Main street. Hawkins wuo
waa lying in wait attacked Russell as
he dismounted
With such force was the blow
wrick that the weapon's keen blade
was broken off in Itussell's body
Rusaiell ran eaet with the enraged
h 'ftband li pursuit. After rhasiug rils
ui'tliu a short distance Hawkins
turned and followed his wife who had

Whi n Hawkins found his wife he
said I i'3e killed Uiin" tliea hid the
a campaign to fight the cotton trust
in the open markef'
Tlie association has just closed its
second successful rear and expects
to accomplish much during the com-
ing season In helping the fanner get
what his cotton Is worth When the
association was organized two years
ago the cotton corporations or so-
called trusts of the state had a free
baud and could pay the fartuer what
they chose for hl cotton. The asso-
ciation in Its first year by bucking the
trnsts held cotton ur to 9 and 10
cents and the association will hold
out for 11 and 12 cent prioea in the
coming season. The ginners raised
a subscription this spring to erect a
$60000 oil mill in this city during
the summer to handle their cotton
seed this fall but owing to adverse
circumstances were unable to start
building In time and postponed the
erection of the mill until next sum-
mer. Of the fifty members of the asso-
ciation present at the meeting last
evening the estimated i-iaIiI nt thin
season's crop after careful estimates
oy eacn ginner in ins respective dis-
trict aa to tlie per cent of yield the
Sum tot ill showed the rvuniii rrnn
although aa great aa that of last year
in acreage womu only w 69. 11-13 per
cent of what the yield was last sea-
on. This estimate will not hold good
however according to cotton experts
who have studied th cotton question
Closelr this anssnn. nn the mmlni
crop Is from three to five weeks later
man common and an estimate placed
on the yield at this time is not re-
liable. The members reported that
rain though badly needed would not
help the cotton very materially.
The association reports that there
will be an abundance of work in Okla-
homa this Tall for cotton pickers and
all who will come from other states
for. that purpose will be gladly placed
In fhe different localities by the associ-
ation free of charge. The matter of
Japanest labor was brought up but
no action was taken as It Is stated
that the Japanese agent who was here
some time ago to place r.00 hands
had refused to sign a contract for
200.

tional romance which for years has
attached to the names of the young
millionaire Paul McCornilek and the
beautiful society matron. Carey E I
Converse was ended In blood today !
when sbe was instantly killed end he '
fatally Injured lo a frightful automo-j
bile wreck in Darien QMn. Two
other women were badljr mir' in thei
tragi? ending of the romance
Itacing sixty mUes gn hour with an-
other machine all th- way from New
Hay en to Stamford young McCor-
mick hurled ills great Pord car into
the rear of a buggy then crashed
from the road into a maple tree. When
the coroner reached the scene two
hours la"er tihe woman sat bolt up-
rih in her neat her head laid open
and a great hole gaping In her side.
Forty feet away upon the hillside lay
the millionaire. Ails skull fractured
both legs broken unconscious and
upon the point of death. The rival
a itomoblle had sped away stopping
only to learn that death had ended
the race The two other women who
occupied the buggy escaped with frac-
tured shoulders and arms
The violent finish or the McCor-
mick Converse alliance had often
been predicted by those who know
tine origin of the beginning. McCor-
mick. the scion of the richest and
oldest families of Poughkeepsie be-
came a "speed fiend" tho first day
that automobile racing was intioduced

Finally McCormlck paid $."ono for
the release of Mrs. Converse from her
marriage ows and married her kirn-
self. Since then the two had aban-
doned the social circles they formerly
frequented and lived either In this
