NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
Mystery Of Death Of Frank Philips
Still a Mystery.

stu a Mystery.
There are no new developments in
connection with the killing Of Frank
Phillips. "a well to do Mississippi Choc-
taw Indian who was found dead on
the roadside last Thursday night with
a bullet wound in the back.
As stated in the Ardmoreite Of Fri
day three men were arrested charged
with the homicide. They were placed
in jail and occupy different cells SO
far they have made no statement in
connection with the killing.
Officers are unable TO tell who fired
the fatal shot. The evidence that led
to the arrest Of the men was submit
ted by an Indian named Robertson
Willis, who resides near where the
killing took place. It was willis who
discovered the dead body Of Phillips.
It is alleged that Willis was stand
ing in his doorway when the deceased
was coming down the road. The In
dian says that Phillips was singing,
and that while singing a shot was
fired.
There is some mystery attached TO
the case. Officers cannot account for
the deed. 1t is probable that someone
fired to frighten the Indian with IA
tai results. Phillips reputation was
that Of an ordinary Indian.

Crows In Nesting Time.

While it is n fact that in places the
crow is not destructive to an important
degree, it will be long time before he
will be considered friend of either the
farmer or the sportsman-perhaps
never. And all the arguments that
may be advanced i'm favor of the crow
will not save him from being shot at;
killing is different matter While
those who have grown morbid from
reading new nature stuff go TO ex-
tremes concerning crows, or anything
else for that matter, sportsmen as Il
rule permit the crow to live in peace
during the nesting season. 1t is merely
question of fairness that dictates
their actions i'm this. 1t stands TO
reason that the sportsman who avoids
fishing during the spawning season and
protects game and game birds i'm the
summer will not modest a crow when
it has little ones I'm the nest that would
starve if the old birds were killed. But
after the young birds have grown
strong enough to take care Of them
selves and all of this black race have
resumed active operations against the
agriculturist.a and other birds they must
take care of themselves if found guilty

Interference of Jack Bentley, who had
entered his private office with scant

"Mr. Sheldon" said that young man
abruptly, II learned an hour ago that
you have, through misrepresentation,
appropriated certain securities belong
ing to Miss Elliott"
For once Sheldon's self possession

cried, half rising from his chair.
"And," continued Bentley coolly, IL
have come to get them and return
them TO her."
II refuse to give them to YOU"

II am acting as her agent. BY what
right do YOU
Bentley leaned across the table.
"Mr. Sheldon" he said grimly, II have
come for the papers and intend to get
them"
Sheldon, his face livid, reached for
the bell, only to find himself confront
ed by cleaning pistol barrel sur
mounted by Il white face with blazing,
determined eyes.
"Stay where you are till I'm through
with YOU" cried Bentley, at white
heat. "Now give them to me-"
II will not"
"You shallw
"I'll be ruined" gasped Sheldon.
you'll be ruined if you don't I'll
have you arrested inside of an hour"
The beads of perspiration stood out
on Sheldons forehead With trem-
bling hands he opened a tin box and
flung its contents Indignantly across
the table.
Take them, - your he cried with
a bitter oath.
And so it was not until Miss Elliott
sat opposite Bentley at a table at
lunch that she learned how nearly she
had been delivered from her "abun-
dance Of riches" She sat speechless,
Watching beullfy Will DSduulul, hut
rified eyes as he laid bare the decep-
ton that had been practiced upon her,
touching lightly upon his own part in
the affair.
