William Shufleld. of this city. has confessed that the woman was killed by hls brother. Hardy. Shufield. who also has since been killed, and that he aided in dis posing of the body.
 Mrs Horn left Hot Spring with Hardy Shuffield. and the man who con- fessed today declares she was killed during a quarrel with hts brother who desired to bring their relations to an end. The woman's husband disap- peared at the same time and he is be- lieved to have met a like fate.

 The acquittal precludes the arrest now of the surviving brother, who acknowledges having had a part in the crime.

GIVEN VACATION

The city council did a wise and
proper thing last night when it was

That the people favored this was
shown by the large petition that was
