There is to be a large number of

Beckett stated the purpose of the I *
meeting and dwelt at length of the
benefits to be derived by the farm-
ers in a meeting of this kind, where
good stock and good produce would
bring cash premiums.
After some discussion of the ques-
tion a motion to see how many mem-
bers could be secured to help in the
work resulted in the guaranteeing of
nearly four hundred members by the
body present.
James M. Scantlin offered the use
of his grounds south east of the
city, adjoining the ball park for the
fair. This is a good place for the
fair and there Is plenty of room,
water, etc.
The body then adjourned to meet
with the Haskell County Farmers'
Institute at this place on the 10th,
and help them with their work in
preparing for the fair.
A complete program including all
the premiums offered will be pub-
lished later and other features of
the fair will be given.

KANIMA MAN RELEASED
IN A TRIAL BY JURY HERE
YESTERDAY EVENING-
Two wagon loads of peopje and a
car full came up to Stigler yester-
day from Kanima as witnesses in
the case of Arthur Kimbrougli who
was charged with an assault on an
officer.
It seems that John Adams and
Kimbrough got into a fight last
Sunday and Adams got best of
the argument. O. C. Comer, deputy
constable, separated the two, and
on Monday Adams came to Stigler
and submitted and paid a fine of
$20 before Squire Davidson. Kim-
brough also come to town and made
bond for his appearance here yes-
terday. He came and brought his
witnesses by the load and as a result
of the trial came clear.

lies are coming across the border.
Word came from the Magdalena
district, southeast of Nogales, of the
complete wiping out of a body of
30 federals under Luis Estralla by
a band of rebels in the vicinity of
Octates. The Rebels ambushed the
government troops while the latter
were engaged in escorting a wealthy
farmer to his ranch near Magda'ena.
The rebels opened fire without warn-
ing, killing nearly all the federals
with the first volley.
Reports of heavy fighting in the
neighborhood of La Colorada, south-
east of Hermosil'o, capital of Sonora
were brought across the border to-
day. The rebels claim to have re-,
