Jones Beat Over the Head With a Gun
by Two Brothers Ed Wilkinson in
Jail Oscar Escapes.
The Polk County News, the
23rd, says :
Last Monday night about 12
o'clock Tom Jones was killed by
Ed and Oscar Wilkinson about
four miles below litre, neav where
John Hutchinson's old shop used
to be. The three men got drunk
and became involved in a regular
drunken row, in which Jones lost
his life. Ed Wilkinson who is in
jail, says he did the killing him
self and that his brother, who es
caped, had nothing to do with it,
and that he killed him in self de
defense. He" says Jones would
push the gun barrel in his face
and with the end of it would push
up his upper lip, and pull his hair
and do other things to provoke
him, Then he (Jones) unbreeched
the gun and handed him the bar
rel and said the stock was all he
wanted to. fight with. They then
engaged in a desperate struggle
in which Jones received one lick
on the side of the head and three
or four on the back of the head.
The blow on the side of the head
is thought to be the one that
knocked him down, and then af
ter being knocked down, the oth
er blows were dealt, crushing in
the skull.
A News reporter saw a reliable
person who attended the inquest.
He says the gun was broken in
two. He says there was also an
dd rifle laying near Jones body
that looked as if.it had been in
the affray, the ramrod being all
shattered.
Ooronor Smith held an inquest
oVer the body Tuesday evening.
The verdict was that Jones came
to his death at the bauds of Ed
and Oscar Wilkinson.
Jones recently moved from this
county to South Carolina, and
wTas back on a visit when he met
up with the Wilkinsons. He was
married.

is the widest possible difference.
The coming woman, thanks to"
the Sermon on the Mount and
our consequent "civilization, is
the future woman the ideal
woman, for whom the world is
waiting, and whom, even now
men worship in their dreams.
She will not be exactly like our
mothers. Our grand-mothers were
not school teachers; a.nd our
mothers did not attend teachers'
institutes and talk in them even
informally. How could they,
poor things? But the coming
woman, being wise and harmless,
may be and do all this, and yet
have very modest gift and grace,
in a wider field and with deep
er culture. The "new woman" is
a fungous growth a social mon

jointly and severally, the writer
has the highest regard. P is to
be regretted that his best inten

woman! and let the "Caroleen
