ON GALLOWS FOR CRIME
Isaac Harrell Haftged in Oregon
for Murder of Brothers
on Ranch
SALEM, Ore., Sept. 9.—lsaac N.
Harrell was hanged here today for
the murder of Walter and Herbert
Newell. He made no statement from
the gallows.
The Newell boys, who were the own
ers of several thousand sheep, em
ployed Harrell as herder. Early In
June Harrell was discharged by Her
bert Newell, and as the latter was
writing a check for Harrell for serv
ices the herder shot him. Walter
Newell witnessed the shooting, and,
running to his brother's assistance,
was himself shot down. Herbert was
only stunned by the first bullet, and
after Harrell had killed Walter he
shot Herbert again and fled. Her-
bert crawled a half mile to his tent
and there wrote a brief note describ
ing the crimes. Herbert lay dying In
the tent when Harrell again returned
and blew oft the top of his head.
A herder named Allen, also em
ployed by the Newell boys, reported
the crime, and a posse started in pur
suit of Harrell, who was captured
fifty miles from the scene of the mur
ders after a fight In which he was
wounded.

HUNGARIANS TO ESTABLISH
COMMUNAL FARM IN TEXAS
Ten Families in One House Will
Eat at Common Table
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Sept. 9.—At
La Porte, in the gulf coast country of
Texas, the Hungarian Farmers' feder
ation of Chicago is making an Inter
esting experiment In community
farming.
The federation has bought 160 acres
of land and has established a colony
Which will practice communal living.
There are ten families in the colony;
one big house has been built for all
of them; they will eat at a common
table, and the housework will be di
vided among the women and girls.
All of the farm and other work will
be done by the men, many of whom
are trained artisans and mechanics.
The property is to be owned in com
mon, and all of the expense to come
out of it and all profits go into the
community fund. They will employ
no outside help, as they say it is
against their principles to "exploit
'labor." They plan to manufacture
everything possible on their own place,
even making their own tools.
The colony plans to engage in truck
fanning and raising figs and oranges.
They expect to introduce some grains
and vegetables from the old country
not now raised in Texas.
