OF the most brutal murders ever com.
mitted in Nacogdoches county was
perpetrated some time Wednesday
morning about fifteen miles from
this city in the vicinity OF Linn Flat,
a small town In the northwest por-
tion OF the county u. G. owens, a
well.known young farmer, being the
victim.
Sheriff Blackburn left here this
afternoon for Rusk. where negro
has been arrested.
Young owens was TO have been
married to Miss Maggie Wilkerson.

on Thursday night The failure n
tn groom to put in his appearance
at the hour Of the ceremony led to
the discovery of his dead and NUT
Hated body in a piece of woods at >
o'clock this morning.
owens resided with his parents
near Linn Flat about fifteen miles
from Nacogdoches lie came into
the county seat ON Wednesday and
secured marriage license. This
marriage license was found on his
d ad body soaked with blood.
The corpse was found about 200
yards from the roadway in the
woods. owens had been shot through
the head. and despite the fact that
death must have ensued almost I'm,
stantly. his assailant had beaten his
h ad almost TO apulp. His skull was
practically shattered into small bits
Another ghastly discovery in con.
ncction with the murder was that
Owens had been dragged TO the spot
whore he was found \ piece OF
rope such as is carried by cattlemen
and rmchers ON their saddles was
found tied around the neck of Owens
This rope was about four feet In
length. \ trail such as might have
been caused by the dragging Of the
body was disccrnahlc from the road
side to the spot upon which the body
lay.
II is the consensus OF opinion that
the motive for the murder was rob
berry. When Owens was In Nacog-
doches Wednesday morning he was
known TO have had as muci as Sl4
ana when his body was found his
pockets were empty of any money.
The arrest in Rusk Of Doc Bailey,

Admiral Dewey has given some
excellent advice TO his younger
brethren. He had been quoted as
having delivered some radical sen-

called to this report, he caused the
following statement TO be given
out:
''It is not a time when naval of.
ficers should be talking about the
prospects Of war with Japan. Our
whole nation wants peace, and the
navy wants it just an much as the
rest of the country"
With these significant words,
Admiral Dewey disposed of n ru-

happen should Japan declare war.
