wound on A. J. Thompson, of this

ley Horne, of Clayton, chairman of
the state building commission and
there were number of other we'll
known people in the car. No clue to
the culprit has been discovered. The
force Of the ball was we'll spent
evidently before it struck the car
window Since no one at all suspicious
could be found near by it is thought
