A few weeks ago h young man named Ted Bently was (band dead in the woods near his home, in the vicinity of Poor's Knob, Wilkes county.

The dead man's stom ach was sent to the State Chemist for analysis, and since then inves tigation has been made of the cir cumstances of the killing. Friday night Foot and Marshall Flether, a sister of the Fletcher's and Lee Hubbard were arrested, charged with the murder of Bentley, and were lodged in jail at Wilkesboro. A preliminary hearing of the case was set for yesterday. Boy Kills Father With Axe. Selma, N- C, June 14.
