YOUNG MEXICAN
FARMER KILLED
Quarrel Over 50 Cents Adds An
other to Long List of Jackson
County Murders
Jim Nunez, a young Mexican
farmer living near Kenyon, in
Jackson county, was shot and kill
ed early Sunday morning at a tim
ber camp on Black liver about 18
miles north of here.
Will Sharp, a farmer living near
the scene of the murder, has been
arrested charged with the crime
and is now in jail at Newport.
It is said that while Nunez and
Sharp were engaged in gambling
Saturday night, they quarreled
nvpr SO CPnfc urhiph pnHorl in
Sharp quitting the game and leav
ing the camp. About daylight
Sunday morning Nunez left the
camp and started to his home, and
it seems that Sharp who left the
camp Saturday night had gone to
his home, and procured a shotgun
and returned to the road which
he knew Nunez would take. He
hid behind a tree and when the
Mexican came along he opened
fire on him, the first shot taking
effect and killing him almost in
stantly.

Government Work Against Cattle
Tick Has Been Very Effect
ive in This County
J. S. Griffin of Sulphur Rock
spent Saturday in town superin
J tending the dipping of cattle
at the vat here.
Not very many cattle were dip
ped here Saturday but this is be
; cause of the scarcity of ticks and
not because of any opposition to
the work. Mr. Griffin says the
farmers are becoming thoroughly
interested in the work of exter
1 minating the tick s and ar<? co-op
erating with the government work
in a most commendable manner.
They have learned that the fever
J tick is a real menace, the extirmin
; ation of which means better cattle
and better prices for those who
raise cattle for market.

| vats in the county and Mr Griffin
says he expects to see about six or
eight new vats constructed dur
ing during the coming fall and
winter. With the completion of
these new vats there will then be
sufficient dipping stations to en
able every cattle owner to dip his
cattle as early and often as requir
ed under the government regula
tions. The work has already been
in progress in the county for
about two years and has been
very effective,andMr.Griffin thinks
with these added facilities for
carrying on the work the quaran
tine will be raised next year, and
cattle raisers will then be free to
ship cattle at any season of the
I year.

Measure Introduced by Our
Congressman
Washington, July 20 —Congress
man Oldfield of Arkansas, chair
man of house Patents Committee
has been authorized to favorabh
; report to the house the Oldfielc
patent bill.
The first section of the bill seek
to amend the patent laws in sucl
a way as to prevent persons hold
ing applications fur patents in tin
United States Patent Office indefi
nitely by providing that every pa
tent shall run 19 years from th<
date of the filing of the applica
tion, and in no case shall the pa
tent be longer than 17 years, th<
time fixed by the present law.Thi:

I Ikiiwij 1 V V| U II VkJ l.utl (Ij'I'IIVUlIl.
shall complete their application:
and bring their cases to issue ir
two years from the date of filing.
The second section provides
that no action for infringement o
patent rights will lie when a re
tailer of a patented article cuts
the price fixed by the manufactur
er. This section also has a clause
which seeks to correct the evi
laid down by the United State:
Supreme Court in the “Dick’
mimeograph case in which tin
court declared that the manufac
turers of the “Dick” mimeograpl
under the patent laws could com
pel the purchasers of their ma
chines to obtain the supplies usee
on same from them only, and thi
included unpatenled articles, sue!
as ink, paper, etc.
Section three provides for «
compulsory license clause in th<
patent statutes which will preven
the heretofore very common prac
tice of trusts and corporations op
crating under patents locking u{
their patents. This clause provides
that when any person or corpora
tion acquires a patent for the pur
pose or with the result of sup
pressing competition, an applica
tion may be made to the federa
court having jurisdiction for a li
cense to manufacture the sup
pressed patent. Any individual in
terested may take advantage ol
I this provision and obtain a license
to manufacture any patent with
held from the public for the pur
! pose of suppressing competition
This section, however, is designed
to not affect the original inventoi
unless he has entered into a con
i tract to suppress his invention.
