ZONE SAD DAY."
One say day when the suns gold
crown
Jeweled the desolate, dreamy west,
came with burden and laid it down
Under the lilies and leaves to rest;
And, weeping, l left it, and went my
way,
With the Silence whispering, God
knows best!'
One sad day-it was long ago
And thorny the ways my feet have
prest
with tears and kisses / laid it
low
hl of my soul, and life of my
breast!
kneeling now in the dark to pray,
pre- comes with a song from the
sunless west,
same sweet voice that l heard
that day
Silence whispering, God
knows best!"

DEPARTMENT AFFECTED.
Members OF Volunteer Fire Depart

Members Of tho Amarillo volun-
teer fire department as VOL as other
firemen all over the state arc pro-
testing against the decision made by
tho state railroad commission In re-
gard to the rates to be allowed del
egates from volunteer departments
TO the conventions Of the State Vol
unteer Firomen's Association.
Last year, It will be remembered,
was the last time that free trans
portation was furnished delegates
from volunteer departments and this
year the delegates had to prepare to
pay their own fares. Railroad COM
panies have always favored yolun.
teer flremen In every possible way
and have always heretofore given
free transportation to every regular
credited delegate, The anti-pass
law. Of course, ended that practice
and this year the companies altered
to favor tho delegates by allowing
them a rate OF one-half cent a
mile each way or less. But the state
railroad commission on the motion
of Commissioner MaytIold objected
TO this and the attorney generals
department finally ordered that II
would he In violation OF the condi-
tlons OF tho law and the roads ac-
cordIngly had to give thr delegates
the regular convention rates which,
in the case OF the firemen here, will
be one and one-fifth fare. II Is quite
probable that the coming convention
at Waco will make strong efforts to-
ward getting the old transportation
privilege restored or at least get
ting much more favorable rates than
are possible now.

Ing and Herman Kerr arc the dele
gates from the local department this
year. They will leave here next

IN THROES OF A
MURDER MYSTERY
LaPOte, Indy Shocked by Murder Of Nine
PeYOnS---B unearhed From
Barn Yard

OF the century and that the farm was
the clearing house Of assassination
and crime. 1t was developed today
the startling theory that the woman
did not die in the fire which de-
stroyed her home the night OF April
2S, and that she is still living. This
theory Is strengthened by the fact
that tho head Of the bJdy OF the wo-
man found in the ruins after tho
fire is still missing. Unless the head
is found today the police will make
an examination OF the remains and
try to learn IL it is Mrs. Guinness or
one of her female victims. In case
it proves not to be Mrs. Guinness as
is very likely. she may also be guilty
OF the murder OF her three children.
