Conditions aro changing rapidly

In iho making and selling depart

declaring that tho company wilt bo
unable to fill tho orders It will re

Eighty per cent of the tractors

As an example ot what may' ba

Prisoner Says Little
Devils in Clothing
Cause Much Worry
Little clinging devils Infest his
clothing and cause him great annoy
ance, says Joe Landry, colored boot
black, who fired four shots from a
revolver at Frank Washington dur
ing a fracas Tuesday afternoon.
Desplto the amputation of a thumb
Injured during his strugglo with
Washington, Laudry insisted upon
taking a bath under tho Jail show
er. He told tbo Jailer that he waa
washing his sins away. The officer
ordered him to cease his ablutions
and get Into bis clothing, but the
bootblack showed great distaste for
tbo garments, which he held at arm's
length and declared to be infested
with weo devils.
No action "has been taken in the
case. Authorities statod today that
Landry would be kept" under obser
vation tor a few- days and probably
examined by a Junicy commission. '
While working is a bootblack at
the Mecca poolroom Landry is said
to have cut off tho sleeves, ot a new
coat because, be said, the deVUs la
them annoyed him.
