This plan was executed Sunday. Tin
men above mentioned were most unex

were taken to the quartel.
The arrests caused great excitement
in Granada and a vigorous attempt to
rescue them was made. The quartel
was attacked and the soldiers fired

a number on each side were killed and
wounded. The exact number of casu

that the chief otlicer of the police ami
at least six soldiers were killed and
that some fifty citizens were shot
Gen. Chamorro and the other prison

was placed in a state of siege -tending
the subsiding of popular feeling. The
prisoners yesterday were sentenced to

ahlr. Toi'EKA. Kan., Aug. 2.1. -The com
mittee appointed by thu alliance com
mercial convention to investigate the
scheme for establishing co-operative
stores throughout the state under one
general management has decided to re
port favorably to the convention which
will meet in Saliua OetoWr 20, the day
before the alliance stite convention.
It now develops that this plan origin
ated at the National Fanners' Alliance
convention at Ocala last Decern Wr
with a Washington man named Wilson.
A short time afterward the National
Union Co., with a capitil of $20,000,000.
was organized in New York for the
purpose of putting the gigantic co-operative
scheme into execution. It is
said that S:.,000,000 were suWriWd to
the stock and paid in at that time.
The company decided to operate only
in states where the Farmers' Alliance
had a thorough organization, and after
looking them over carefully decided
that Kansas promised the Wst results
as there were more people here wh
Wlievcd in the principle of co-operation
than in any other state. Only such
stites will l3 operated in as can gel
the indorsement of the State Farmers'
Alliance, and Kansas will W tho first
to do this.
The scheme of the alliance exchange
company in this state, it is thought by
its promoters, is a pretty certain in
dication that a retail establishment con
ducted upon a similar plan will also W
