 Waldrop Is tine man who shot and killed Frank Willis April 26 about six miles from the city. The two had duel, Willis having a shot gun as a weapon and Waidrop a Winchester ri- de. Inasmuch as the range was over 100 yards, Waldrop escaped with a few punctures of the skin. while wn- lis was killed almost instantly Two shots were fired by Waldrop, but one would have been sufficient to Kill Willis.
 Waldrop is an expert shot with a. rihe, and he shot to kill, as he had been fired upon first. The two men had been at outs for several weeks and on Sunday. April 2s. they met at the home of a neighbor. Willis car ried shot gun, and announced that he was carrying it for the purpose of quietinR "bullies." Hot words passed between him and waldrop and Willis departed.
 Later waldrop started towards his home. accompanying his wife and chii- dren, but before leaving, borrowed a rife. The party had only gone a short distance before Willis. it is claimed, opened fire. ALd iWaldrop re- piled. killing him. Waldrop says that he made no attempt to go further than across the Alabama line, stopping at Gateswood. Ala, with his cousin. He walked from that place. starting Tuesday morning at daylight and reaching Pensacola at 1 o'clock this morning.
 During this time he had had no food, and had been out in the rain for over twelve hours. He showed the ef- fects of the strain and exposure when he surrendered himself to the police. The latter gave him food and later turned him over to the county author ities.

 The startling revelations have awak- sned Laporte people to a recollection of some strange occurrences at the Guinness home during the last year. Last summer Mrs. Guinness reported 10 Chief of Police Cochran that a child had been murdered in the woods back of her house by a mah and woman who had driven pase her home The trace of the body and dropped the case. but a week later Mrs. Guinness sent her little daughter to him to state that she could take him to the spot where the supposed murdered child had been buried. Cochran went with the girl. and in the woods she showed him an empty hole. explaining body away. Cochran now believes that Mrs. Guinness slew. the child and later buried it.
 Mrs. Guinness has always been re- earded as eccentric. If visitors called she "sicked" the dogs on them. She was seen as late as O'CLOCK In the morning walking about her yard. Om- eers advance the theory that the bodies of men found were ehoss of matrimon- ial dupes of the woman: that they came here with the expectation of marrying Mrs. Guinness and that af- ter she got their money she put them ont of the way.

Nature gets her laxatives from food. If you ate plenty of fruit. coarse food and green vegetables, you would get laxative enough. But you eat fine food, and too much of
 it. And you exercise too little. So it is vital that you help the bowels in another way. But don't use salts or pill cathartics.
 Never employ harsh physic. Nature does all things gently. Give
 her gentle help. Cascarets are vegetable. They have
 just the same effect as a laxative
 food.
 They never gripe, so you know they
 don't irritate. They act in Natures way. Yet they are just as effective as violence.
