We are grateful to Mrs. Kate Orn-
dorff, of Denison, Texas, for papers
giving information concerning the
man Hatfield, arrested at Sherman on
suspicion of being Durham, the muir.
derer of the McGhncy family. The
opinion seems to be that Hatfield is
not the man wanted, though, on the
other hand, he gives no satisfactory
account of himself and made desperate
efforts to escape from prison. The
last report was that California officers
were taking the man back to the scene
of the crime for the purpose OF having
him 6identied If possible.
Hon. Tracy L. Jeffords, candidate
for the State Senate from this district,
made speech in the town hall FRI
day night to good-sized audience.
Mr.. Jetfords is pleasing talker, and
his speech was entirely free from par
tisan offensiveness, being devoted to a
discussion of State and national issues.
He made good impression upon those
who heard him, and his sincerity
could not be doubted when he prom
ised if elected to serve the people well
and carry out their wishes as tar as
he was able. George 81. Childs, can
didste for the House Of Delegates,
made a brief speech, in which ne ad-
vised the people to send him to the
Legislature and secure legislation OF
local benefit.
