Washington Gardner is the Repre-

splendid ability since he was elected in
1894 to fill out an unexpired term Of
his predecessor. He will have served
some IS years when he retires on the

but from the officials of the people
from the House of Representatives and
from the Senate, from those filing Cab

House. for the President of the United

FRANK BELL MURDER
 TRIAL COMING UP

Columbus, Miss, April 17-(Special)- One of the most important cases to be tried at the present court term is the Frank Bell murder case which is the re- suit of the tragedy of October 2S, last which happened at McCrary, Miss, nine miles east of Columbus, on the Mobile and Ohio road between here and Tus- caloosa Bell, the son of B. F. Bell, shot and killed Charles and Harvey Dun can age 22 and 1T, respectively, at the railroad station in that hamlet and inn nlediately thereafter boarded the train and with his wife came to Columbus and surrendered to the sheriff. A, pre- liminary trial was held but he did not ask for bail and has been in jail ever since.
 The shooting came as sequel to an old feud or series of neighborhood rows. as the evidence introduced at the pre- lininary hearing all showed. Bad feel ing had existed between the Bells and the Duncans for some time prior to the killing and the actual killing or shooting had not been unanticipated. The Dun can boys were sons of Dr. John H. Dun can, who conducts a drug and general store near the McCrary, Miss. depot.
