The coroner's jury returned a
verdict thnt "David + Wells came
to his death by knife wounds in
the hands of Colclough Stukes. ."
The evidence at the coroner's in

fortunate occurrence. Ile says
that Capt Wells was going t. lend

Col. Leroy Springs is preparing

Saturday to the Presbyterian
Cemetery, your correspondent
has succeeded in obtaining some
additional facts of interest In re.
lation to the doctors life and
character.
DR.. Jones was the son of Ben
jamin and Elizabeth r. Jones, of
Prince William County, Va, and,
as stated IN the sketch referred
to, was born December 27, 1887.
He was graduated from a Phila.
delphia Medical College and
came to Lancaster to rractice
his profession in the early part
of the last century, about the
year 1906. Two years later, in
1908, he built what is now the
oldest house in Lancaster, the
present residence of one of his
grand sons, Capt B. J. Wither.

HIS MARRIAGE.
In 1910 DR.. Jones married
Miss Eliza Jano Dunlap, then a
young lady of one of Lancast ster's
influential families. Six children
blessed their union, all of whom,
except the eldest, Miss Mary
Elizabeth, who married the late
Col. James II. Witherspoon, the
father of Capt. W;theyspoon,
DR.. J. H. Witherspoon and Mrs.
john D Wylie, moved to Mont.
gomery, Ala, after the death of
their father, their mother &C.

children we're sons, all of whom
became prominent ph ysicians in
Alabama.

Masons.
DR.. Jones's infirmitv was due
to the carelessness Of his nurse
when he was child. She had
placed him on her shoulder, and
as the little fellow sprang eff
she seized him by the foot, dis
locating his hip. On account
of this accident he was ever af.
terward obliged to walk with a
crutch and stick. During his
career as a practicing physician
he usually travelled the country
in a gig, always accompari led by
his body servant, faithful ne.
gro named Cupid.

Courier The recent reference
In this correspondence to Col.
Leroy Springs's eminent fitness
for the Office of Governor and to
the fact that he was being urged
TO enter the race next wear has
caused the Colonel's mail Of late
to be deluged with fresh requests
to take a favorable view Of the
matter. MANY Of the letters are
from representative business
and professional men, public
officials and prominent State
politicians, men in close touch
with the people, and, therefore,

OF course, Lancaster would
give the Colonel solid and en-
thusiastic support should he be
induced to become a Guberne-
torial candidate.

responsible party say yesterday
that he would wager $500 on the
Colonel's election, SO -confident
is he of that gentlem ans success
if he makes up his mind to be

ideal Governor and / believe he

opposition to him would come
from the alleged dispensary

body who knows Springs knows
that he has a way of going right
dow. to the bottom of things
and If he were Governor it would
only be question of time, and
a short time at that, before he
would have the whole dispensary

There is no dou5t about it, so
