Many Attend Picnic.
On last Wednesday at Weeping
Water in the Dakcr Grove south of
the town, was held the 4-H club
picnic, which was attended by a
large number of the people from over
the county. The picnic was very en
joyable to all who attended. The
4-H club workers and also the ex
tension workers were included in the
ones giving the picnic.
His wite and small ton were in
grandstand near him. Mrs. Mc-
Crorev ran to his side, assisted Ir.
Ralph Lovelady in giving first aid.
and rode in an ambulance with 11c
Crorey to the Hamburg (Ia.) hos
pital. Dr. Lovelady, president of the
rodeo association, said there is little
hope for McCrorey's recovery.
Ten minutes later, when the crowd
had just settled in the seats. Hay
liird of Dighton. Kan., another rider,
suffered a frac tured arm hen a bad
bronco stomped on him. Bird also
was taken to the Hamburg hospital.
He had attempted to jump off the
horse but bi foot caught in the stir
rup and he was thrown to the ground.
The bronco, stlfflegged, trampled
him.
McCrorey was the third rider to
enter the arena on a bucking horse
in the bronco-busting contest. The!
animal was jumping stiff-legged and. j
with a leap, landed on the fence. He
tumbled off with McCrorey beneath.
George Elliott and Homer Todd,
both of Muskogee, Okla., dragged
McCrorey from under the horse.
The crowd was the largest in the
history of the Sidney rodeo, and the
accidents occurred in full view.

ciples, rather than candidates, prob
ably will form the basis of any poli
tical action the Women's Christian
Temperance Union may decide upon,
Mrs. Ella A. Boole said at the na
tional convention of the organization
today.
"It is not the custom of the union
to support candidates. We support !
principles." j;he said. !
Her statement grew out of the an-
noiinrnient of !)- Tl.nnicl A T'ol'iip-.
chairman of the Allied Forces of
Prohibition, that the groups for
which he spoke would support Presi
dent Hoover for re-election.

said. "Dr. Pcding's decision to sup
port President Hoover is merely one
group view."
The national prside-nt pointed out
that the organization was composed
of women tiom every part of t he
country, and thus represented both
the democratic and republican view
points. Eccnune of this she was un
able to understand, she said, how
the union could prefer any particular
candidate.

and shot, was found beside his motor
car on a lonely road near the Indian
Hills Country club here.
A voice over the telephone appar
ently lured the attorney away from
home Tuesday night to his death.
Telling his wife and two children
he would bo gone twenty minutes,
he drove away at S:30 p. m. He was
not seen alive again. Police were
attempting to trace the telephone
call. Ed Crossland. a law partner,
and Smith's widow said they were
ignorant of anything that might
have led to the killing. Nor could
Smith's associates in the Bailey de
fense throw any light on the affair.
J. G. Sheppard of Fort Scott, chief
counsel for Bailey, said the Tulsan
had been expected to take part in
the court trial, but had not appear
ed, altho he conferred with Shep
pard. "I never heard of Smith until he
came into the case," Sheppard said.
"I haven't the least idea who might
be his enemies, or the motive in the
slaying." Ira McLaughlin, Kansas
City lawyer who withdrew from the
they both jBailey defense because of a disagree
the game jnient over a fee, said he understood
smith had been engaged by an aceo
ciate of Bailey. ;
The attorney, a native of Jackson,
Tenn., and a graduate of Cumber
land university, had been fhot in the
ineck and head and apparently club
bed. His pockets were turned out.
but police believed the killers sought
to leave a false Imprest-ion of rob
bery. Smith had little money when
he left his home.
A woman's handkerchief and a
suitcase filled with papers were in
the sedan. There were signs of a
struggle. A fanner told of hearing
shots in the vicinity about p. m.
Court records at Ponca City, where
the attorney lived for a time, dis
closed he had been charged in teve ral
cases prior to liCS. but freed in all
of them. One of the charges involved
a bank robbery, another an alleged
assault, a third dealt with a purport
edly boguj check an I a fourth, the
alleged sale of a mortgaged motor
car.
Bailey had no comment to make
when he arrived at the Kansas peni
tentiary late in the day to begin
his term. He was convicted by a
Jury at Fort Scott Tuesday as a par
ticipant in the $S2,000 robbery of
the Citizens National bank there in
