PAVING CONTRACT
 WAS NOT SIGNED
East Second Avenue Paving District Commissioners Prefer to Consult With Attorney M. A. Austin
 Before Signing Paper.

The commissioners of the East Second avenue paving district did not sign the contract yesterday afternoon for the work of paving that thorough fare as was at first intended, owing to the absence of M. A. Austin from the city. MT. Austin is attorney for the district, and the commissioners did not care to sign the contract with out his sanction. It is very probable that the contract will be signed this afternoon, but if not, it will be signed up, and the final arrangements made, in a very few days. Among other things which the commissioners must settle before they sign the contract is whether they intend to have the street paved between the tracks of the Cit izens Light and Transit Company or whether the space between the rails will be filled with crushed rock, as was suggested recently.
 Just what the commissioners will do in this matter cannot be told but they will do the best for the proper ty owners along that street that they can with the funds at their disposal.

MOTHER AND CHILD MURDERED IN BED Awful Crime at Haynesville, La., Near the Arkansas Line, Stirs Countryside Into a Fury.

ment at Fever Heat,

Magnc.ia, Ark, Aug. 15.-As they lay sleeping siue by side in a bed at
 their home near Haynesville, La, Tuesday night, Mrs. Bond, the widow of James Bond, and her 7-year-old daughter were shot to death by some unknown person. Four bullets were fired into the body of Mrs. Bond and two into that of her daughter.
 The mother had evidently been shot as she slept, and died without a struggle. The child was awakened by the shots whcih ended her mother $ life and attempted to elude her slay- CT, for the bed showed evidence of a struggle and the little girls clothing was torn.
 The slayer made good his escape, and the large posse which is nov searching for him has been unable to locate him. Bloodhounds are being used, but do not seem able to keep the trail.
 The motive for the dastardly crime is unknown, but the whole country side has been aroused, and should the fugitive or fugitives be captured vio- fence may result.
 Mrs. Bonds farm is between Haynes,l He and Middleton, near the observation-disclosures line, and she and her child have lived alone there eve. since the death of her husband. h addition to operating her farm, Mrs Bond also had a small store, and rob- bery may have been the motive, al though there was no evidence to indi' cate it.
 The murders were not discovere1 until this morning, when nelghbors who went to the Bond home found the doors swinging open ad received no response to their calls. 1nvestl' gation resulted in finding the bodies lying on the bed. How the house was entered cannot be ascertained, nc doors or windows having been brok- en-
