they get better results from negro wait

another in Il quarrel. He was convicted
of murder in the second degree aud sen
fenced to fifteen years imprisonment.
Rather then serve time he committed
suicide. Ever since there has been a
war between his relatives and the people
of Springville over his body. In the
first place, it had to be Inferred by
shertf's posse. Then it was removed
from the grave one night and thrown

Now the White family fear that the
