Mrs. Jack Henderson to Enter
Besieged Mine and Hus
band to Surrender.
LEXINGTON, KY„ Dec. SO.—A
Toman may succeed where men failed
in capturing the thirteen outlaws hid
ing in Ely mine. Knox County. Mrs.
Jack Henderson, wife of one of the
outlaws, to-day will go into the mine
and beg her husband to surrender.
About 75 men are n'ow on guard. It
is rumored that there is a secret
opening to the mine, and that friends
of the outlaws are Keeping them sup
plied with provisions.
Men on duty want to enter the mine
in a body, a number going in each
entrance, and make a search, but this
is held impracticable and a needless
risk of life, as the mine contains
many hiding places and points of
vantage where three men might easi
ly hold at bay 40 or more.
'll tfc thought that the outlaws took
a good supply of ammunition into
their hiding place, and, as no shots
have been fired by them, it is sup
posed they are keeping their bullets
in reserve and will use them when
given an opportunity to be effective.

COLORADA SPRINGS. Dec. 27.—
Neither John Van Alstyne, a St. Jo
seph (Mo.) capitalist, nor his young
wife kept their tryst here to-day, and
it is believed their unique six months'
trial divorce failed JK> heal their lo\ e
wounds. Half a year's separation
was to decide whether a permanent
divorce w'ould be sought or whether,
after all. their love was enduring
and they would take up the marital
state anew. On this date, according
to the agreement of the novel divorce,
they were u* be reunited here or
make the arrangements for final di
vorce proceedings.
There is some speculation as to
whether the inference should be that
the six months' period of separation
has proved intolerable and the
wealthy young man and his wife have
thrown the agreement to the winds
and had a reunion. The general be
lief is. however, that the trial di
vorce will be permanent.

HEIR IN HISTORY
Despite Bumper Output of Farms,
U. S. Department Doesn’t Ex
pect Drop in Living Cost.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29—Ten bil
lion dollars’ worth of products. $5,-
000,000,000 of cash income—a bumper
year in spite of drouths and oth*-r
setbacks—is the 1913 record of 6,000,-
000 American farms.
The United States' most successful
year of husbandry produced $6,100,-
000.000 worth of crops, of which
$2,896,000,000 were represented by ce
reals alone, and $3,650,000,000 wor h
of animals sold and slaughtered and
animal products. The value of the
1913 crops is twice that of 1899; more
than $1,000,000,000 over 1909 and s»ul -
stantially greater than 1912.
Of all the crops, it is estimated that
52 per cent will remain on farms and
that 20 per cent of the- animal pro
duction also will remain. On that
basis the c-ash income is ertimated at
$5,847,000,000.
No Lower Cost of Living.
Despite a record year of crop value
—although the record of production
has fallen—and the fact that the
number of farms has increased 11 per
cent since 1910, until there now are
estimated to be 6,600,000 farm? ir. ’he
country, the Department of Agricul
ture, in a discussion of the subject,
made public to-day. does not take the
view that a lower cost of living will
result.
