Just before the democratic ratification
ended last night. William Jefferies, q
farmer who hives near Missouri City,
was found dead and covered with
blood on the sidewalk on East Broad
way. He had been shot in the head.
About noon the coroner received q
message from Albert Karneyat, who
recently came from Tennessee and en-
gagged with farmer east nf the city,
that he did the shooting IN self-de-
fense, Jetferies having attacked him
with knife. Karneyst is badly
wounded and is not expected to re-

SPRINGFIELD, H., Nov. l5.-The re-
port that has gained currency TO the
effect that Oscar Neebe lie TO be par
doned out of the penitentary on
Thanksgiving day is believed TO be
without substantial foundation. A
correspondent of the Evening Post
called on Governor Fifer today and
asked him about it. and while he would
neither deny nor affirm It's truthful
ness, he did say that he had heard
nothing about the case lately; that
there had been no renewal of effort in
behalf of Neebe, and intinnated that
the story was a decided chestnut. Ii
may be set down as next to \ certainty
that If Neebe ever receives q pardon IT
will not be at the hands Of the present
