Midland, Feb. 21- William Sil- vers was stabbed to death by H. L. Green at the. formers home Saturday.

Silvers died before morning.
 Both men were miners and worked at the Dallas mine. Green was found this morn ing by some miners at the request of the officers.
 Green said that if it had not been for the snow he would have given the officers a hot chase. He then laughed and said the ex- citement will be over in a few days.

statehood would undoubtedly bring

force a rule upon an intelligent people.
irksome and unjust as that under
which the Russian Pole rebels.
We might get along very we'll as a

and fundamental concepts of liberty
are violated In the denial OF free gov

commercial age To sheer al the old
