JERRY WILLABIT KILLED.
Shot to Death by Miss Mianie
Humphries' in Suburbs of this
City. ,
There is a young woman, net
dver twenty yean of age. in the
city prison and with her U her
little year old child. There w al
so a new-made1 grave three tuiles
west of town and widow and
Nthree little children who must
earn their living in the future.
And here U the story:
Last Friday night .Jerry Wil
Jard, of thin city, starte! to
hts home three miles west of the
city where his wife and three
rhikiren live with her father, Mr.
RoIt. .Creed. Willard worked
here in the city as an electric
ian and plumber in the employ
of Mr. Charley Hodge. It was h
c.ustom to go home and spend
the night with hus family two or
three times a week. Last Friday
he started lata to spend the night
with his family and carried two
dogs with him. The dogs refus
ed to follow and he returned and
got a gun and thus induced the
dogs to follow him, and in this
way his friends account for his
Ix'ing out late. About elev n o'
clock the alarm was given that a
man was killed a mile west of
town and when the officers ar
rivel on the scene the body of
"Willard "was cold in death just
across the road from the home. of
Minnie Humphries. He came to
his death by a pistolshot wound
the ball entering his back and
lodging in his heart. The Hump
hries woman was arrested and
tokl a story something like this:
She said. Willard was trying to
raise IlCr Wlimo ailU MIC MIIH
V. . . 1 I .1.- ..U. 4
is that he was playinir a french
Siarp in front of her door and
she shot him for disturbing her.
VhN facts in the case fail to
bear out her story. The room
she occupied hud been a little
store built close up to the pub
lic road. Willard must have stop
ped in front of the building and
was in the act of leaning against
the window and the tobacco and
cigarette paper on the ground
would lead one to believe that
lie was making a cigarette. The
ball that kileld him entered his
back ami the one who fired it
wa.s inside the house, for the bul
let passed through the cross piece
between the pjlass and pnrt of
the putty that held the glass in
position was forced into his
clothing. He must have been
right near the winuow ami the
facts lead one to believe that he
was leaning against the window.
After receiving the death wound
lie walked a4hyrt distance across
the road and fell dead. A cor
oner's inquetit was held Saturdu
and the post mortem examina
tion made by Dr. Ed Hollings
woith. The wonnau is in the city pris
on and her trial will be had this
afternoon. Attoreny J. II. Fol
ger appears for her.
"Willard 's remains were Uid to
rest in the family burying ground
near his wife' home last Sunday
afternoon and a large numlier of
people atjendiil the services
which were conducted by Elder
William "Atkiimon.
It U the opinion of some tluit
the ball that killed Willard wa
fired by some man who happen
ed to be Rt the woman's home,
and that for a money considera
tion or for friendship, she assum
ed the blame and told ttat she
killed him, thinking that the lav
won! J protect her because it
was at her home he met his death j Catarrh Cure Is the only 'positive

Farm Demonstrator has juBt re
turned from a trip from the
southern and western part of the
county and reports crops a fuie
condition. Wherever there was
a cover crop of crimson clover or
rye turned under this spring he
found that the corn crop was as
much as 40 per cent better than
where there was no cover crop.
Thi, should be an inducement for
every farmer to prepare h land
this fall and sow it- in crimson
Clover or rye for next year's corn
crop and he will thus increase his
yield. He says' it would be
still better, where they can do so,
to put the land in peas now. and
turn the peas tinder for rye or
(lover this fall. People all over
the state are waking up to the
fact that land will give a greatf
yield when it is cultivated in this
way, and he urges all to try it'
where they have not alreadv.

The following conditions are to

use any kind of yeast she prefers,
but salt rising bread will not be

not good bread, but we want to

making bread easier than by the
salt rising process. That process
