Gently from Texas, shot and fatally
wounded Carroll Mix, farmer of
Fayetteville, Ark, while the latter was
asleep in his room at 40 West Ninth

that he did not know she was in the
city. Mrs. Williams is 80 years old and
Mix is 20.

St.Louis, April 6.-The differences be-

and its employees, which have been a
bone of contention for four months,

clude the danger of a strike for years to
come.
BY the terms of the agreement train

firemen an advance of 12 per cent. over
the rates which existed January west

Mississippi the rates will be brought
up to this standard when competing
lines in the same territory grant SINH
lar increases in pay. Yardmen also re-
ceive substantial increases in pay, and
there is an entire revision of rules-this
latter being the principal point con-
tended for by the employees.

Suicide Theory IL Not
Proved.


Buffalo, N. ", April 1.-THE evil
dence given Friday at the inquest in
to the deaths of Arthur II. Penneil
and Mrs. PennelL before Justice
Murphy, will not help the authorities
in any way to a solution of the Bur
dick murder mystery. Whether the
tragedy at Genres stone quarry on

and Mrs. Pennell was fatally injured.
was due to accident or design. was
not proven.
Thomas Penney, who acted as at
torney for the Pennell family since
Arthur Pencils death, declared that
so far as he was aware nothing in
the papers left by Mr.. Pencil would
throw any light upon the murder of
Edwin Burdick. When questioned re-
garding the alleged defalcations ty
Pennell, Mr.. Penney declined to an
swer.
Evidence that would show defal-
cation would simply be accumula-
tive" said Justice Murphy, after the
evidence was all in. "No stronger mo
tive could be proven than has already
been brought out here. But proving
motive does not establish suicide.
The COURTS prepared to announce its
findings"
Judge Murphy then delivered his
verdict as follows: 81 find and GER

lice that he had nothing to do with the
Burdick murder. With reference to his

he said that the living have their lives

no truth in the charges brought
against Mrs. Burdick or himself in the

no reason why she should have been
driven from home by Burdick; that
Burdick had been intimate with a wo-
man whom he intended to marry and
that it was not until he learned that
