MURDERED in TEXAS
Particulars of the Killing of F. P. Bry-
ant, of Ames, Iowa, in Texas, Oct. Is
Funeral Held at Ames.

Special to Times Republican
| Ames, Nov. 1.-The funeral of Frank
lin Pierce Bryant, who was murdered at
Sanderson, Texas, October 20, was held
| here yesterday from the Methodist
| church. The services at the grave were
conducted by the I. O. 0. II. lodge, he
being a member of that order at Slater,
Iowa. Deceased leaves a wife and four
children. Particulars of the tragedy
which ended his life have just been
| received here. Mr.. Bryant was fore
man of a gang of men working for some
railroad in Texas. On last Saturday
evening he had a few words with man
in regard to the possession of a house
in which they We're living. The house
belonged to the railroad and was sup
posed to be occupied by the foreman
of that gang, but as Mr.. Bryant's fam
lily was still in Ames the other fellow
was still occupying it. This week Bry-
ants family was to move and he told
the other man to vacate, which he re-
fused to do, saying there was no house
in town he could get. Bryant then con-
scented to share the house with him.
The other man then left and soon re-
turned intoxicated and fired five shots
at Bryant, each taking effect. He then
gave himself up to the officers and is
now under arrest awaiting trial.
In letter to the friends here friend
of the family says:
"The man who did the shooting is
named Clark. l have been told that
Clark was an ill-tempered man and
very abusive at times. 1t is not known
whether any words had been passed
between them Saturday night or not,
but Clark went up town, boozed UP, and
returned about 1915 p. m. and shot
Frank four times with a Colt revolver
of 54-caliber, all four bullets passing
thru his body.
1.-THE last, and seemingly most likely
theory I heard was that Clark came to
the door between their rooms and fired
twice before Frank raised his body
from the bed. Both shots entered the
right side and went thru the body The
other two shots entered the left, one of
which passed thru or near the heart.
II did not hear a man express an
opinion other than that it was a cold
blooded murder, and cowardly at that.
This is substantially the testimony of
Mr.. Beck, and wish to state further
that Frank and myself were boys and
young men together, and I have always
cherished for him regard above what
I have ever felt for any other man, and
I will simply add that his family have
been ruthlessly robbed OF noble hus-
band and father, and society of man
ly man, whose habits were correct and
whose behavior was without fault"

Without Their Knowledge or Consent
Story Of the Case.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, Nov. IA most heinous out
rage In connection with the selling of a
church four miles east ot this city, be-
longing to the Cumberland Presbyte-
rian Society, has just been discovered
by an agent Of the society sent out to
Investigate the condition of the church
here. The church building was one OF
the best and most substantial country
churches in the county. 1t appears that
for the past few years the members OF
the church have not been very harrno-
service had been held in the church.
Something like year ago one Bonn,
representing himself to be a Bible mis-
sionary of the American Bible Society,
spent several months in this county
selling Bibles and doing some preach
ing. Shortly before leaving the county
he went to Mr.. F. B. Stout. the man who
formerly owned the land upon which
the church was erected, and who owns
the land adjoining the church property,
and told him he had an opportunity to
sell the church building for 500 to some
other society who wanted 1t for a
church and advised Mr.. Stout to take
the money and then enclose the ground
in his farm. Mr.. Stout, very honora-
BILE and nice old gentleman, supposed 1t
was all right, took the money and de-
posted 1t in the bank. The next day
some ten or a dozen men with teams
We're on hand and tore down the build
mig hauled the timber and pews away.
Great was the indignation of the mem
bers of the church when it was learned
that their handsome building had been
torn down and sold to German farmer
and by him made into barn. 1t APP
pears that not single member of the
church had any knowledge of the trans
action. An effort is now being made
to locate Mr.. Bohn. The sequel to this
audacious piece of grand larceny will
be looked for by a large circle OF in
terested members.
