Home Defender Goes Free.

Gallatin, Mo-, Nov.-Believing that
Otis Claycomb was fully justified in
killing the man who wrecked his
home,. six of the members of the
Davies County Grand Jury refused to
vote an indictment against him for
killing John Ward, August "a, and
Claycomb was set at liberty. Clay
comb killed Ward for enticing Mrs.
Claycomb away from her home and
her six children.
All the evidence in the case was
placed before the Grand Jury, and the
Prosecuting Attorney insisted on an
indictment, but only three members
Of the jury would vote for it.
AS it requires the votes of at least
nine members to indict, the case has
been dismissed.
Ward was an elderly man and had
considerable property, including the
farm near Gallatin, which Claycomb
rented. Mrs. Claycomb was about
80 years old.
Claycomb found his wife and Ward
together in Excelsior Springs and
tried to induce the woman to return
to her home. Shortly afterward
Ward appeared at Claycomb's house
andaskedfor Mrs. Claycomb's clothes.
Claycomb, angered beyond endur-
ance, shot and killed Ward.

Compound.


Druggist F. 7. Clay submits the
following to the readers of The
Times:
/ For several years we have an
nounced, with our recommendation,
that we have found a positive cure
for eczema; a simple skin wash, oil
of wintergreen compound with other
healing ingredients.
Yet we know there are people
right in this town who have eczema,
and still have never tried this rem
edy.
We have, therefore, arranged with
the D. D. d. Laboratories of Chicago
for a special offer of a trial bottle at
25 cents instead Of the $l.OO bottle as
regularly sold.
We offer this trial bottle with our
recommendation and assurance that
just as soon as the patient washes his
itching skin, this mild liquid will take
the itch away instantly.

Wood of the Gross.
AS some claim the aspen was the
wood OF the cross, others select the
weeping willow for the tree upon
which Judas hanged himself.
There is an old legend as sinister
as the fatalistic Dedipus myth that
claims that before the birth of Judas
bis mother dreamed that her child
would murder his father and betrav
his God for money. To prevent this
tragedy, the babe was put in a chest
and cast upon the sea, but was rescued
and adopted by a king.
According to tradition, Pontius Pi-
late as well as Judas committed sui
eide, for upon his return to Rome so
indignant was the emperor over the
governors actions while in Jerusa-
lem that he cast him into prison. a
humiliation too great for so weak a
spirit to bear.
Weird is the legend told concerning
the restless, tormented ghost of him
who could wash his hands but not his
conscience of offense.
The body of the suicide was first
cast into the Tiber, but so turbulent
were the storms that immediately fol-
lowed that it was taken out of the
river, carried to Gaul and thrown into
the Rhone. Tempests were the in
stant result. Again the body was re-
moved, this time to Lake Geneva The
same disasters in it's train. Once
more an attempt was made to over
come the evil. Surely, in a far-away
mountain lake locked in the center of
the Alps even the spirit of Plate
could do no harm. Vain hope. There
arose storms of wind and rain so great
in fury that fiocks and herds were
drowned, trees torn up by the roots.
and happy-hearted homes washed away
to death and destruction.
