Two Killed; One Wounded.

Thomas Godfrey of Pine Bluff and
man named Ewing, supposed tc be a
music teacher from Texas, were shot
and killed at Clio recently, and Clar-
ence l.. Bush, who had been operator
at Clio, was wounded, and fled down
the railroad track to the woods. The
shooting occurred just after the men
had left the southbound Cotton Belt
train at 4:30, the shots seemingly
coming from the direction of the com
missary departments of the Bluff City
Lumber Company. The whereabouts
Of Bush is unknown, but it is believed
that he died shortly after he fed from
the scene, and that his body is some
where in the woods. The town OF
Clio is said to be terror-ridden over
the shooting, and that those who were
eye-Witnesses to the tragedy seem to
be afraid to talk Of it.
