He testified that he went to her home and asked her to return 10 him, and that she consented.

 While shooting rats in barn near Nagmel lie Friday afternoon, Wort, the son oi ban Holiday. shot and killed Eeb he 11-year-cld son of Omer Holli. day. The boys were cousins, and the shooting. according to meager informa- ton. was purely accidental
 The tragedy is remarkable in the light of recent events. The father Of the hoy who is alleged 10 have fired the gun that caused the death of his cousin was shot and kill9i by R. T. Clay. Only a few days ago Arthur. the son Of II P. Clay. brother of k. E. Clay. stabbed and killed Marshall Null. negro lad at Natural Steps.
 ClaG and Holiday were brothers-in- law and young Holiday. who is al- legged 70 have fired the shot that killed his cousin, is a son of the man slain and nephew of the slayer.
 On the Clay side of the house the hand of fate. if ii could be so termed. has been equally oppressive Arthur Clay. son of H. P Clay. Is under Sf 1000 bond to await the acticn of the Grand Jury i'll connection with Inc death of Marshall Null. R. F. Clay. brother of II. P Clay, is under bond to answer charge of murder in the second de gree.
 As well as could be learned the cousins were playing in the barn and shooting rats with some sort of fire arm. From the information at hand II appears that Bob Holiday got in front of 8 bullet that struck him in the head and that death resulted within an hour l. is understood the killing was quite accidental.
