 On H.

Paris. TeNas. Dec. 26.-whether three Italians. living in railroad boarding care at Soper, Ok, were inur- dered and the body of one hidden and the others left weltering in their own blood as they were found or the third killed the two and escaped with their money, is the problem on which the authorities in that section are now at work, following the finding of tho two bodies on Christmas Day--one shot and the other showing sixty knife wounds.
 The three men, who lived together. were employed on bridge gang of the Arkansas and Choctaw Railroad and were in the boarding car several days ago.
 The authorities are working on the theory that robbery was the object of the murder as the men were known to have had more money than the small amount discovered with their Iifeless bodies.
