Joe Dixon Arrested
Wednesdays Daily Timesett

|
Had Joe Dixon, colored, been
a little more careful in his selection
selection of the hen roost he
plundered he might not now have a
pententiary sentence staring him in
the face.
Dixon was arrested Tuesday
afternoon by Constable J. N. Car
ter on state warrant charging him
with chicken stealing.
Last Sunday shortly after mid
night Santa Fe Officer Sam White
head, having forgotten his watch,
started home after it. While pass
ing the second ward school building
he heard a noise and upon in
vestigation found Joe Dixon
crouched in a basement window.
When the officer lighted a match
Joe took to his heels dropping
chickens right and left in his hur-
ried fight. The officer was unable
to catch him and knowing who he
was and the offense hestitated to
shoot.
Upon arriving home Mr.. White
head found that it was his hen
roost Joe had robbed. Five of his
best frys were gone. A search of
the school yard located one but the
rest were gone. Mr.. Whitehead
then started for darktown in search
of Joe. He could not find him and
next day swore out a state warrant.
1t was not until Tuesday that Zoe
was located.
This is not Joe's first cffense of
this kind and his sentence will
probably be long one. He waived
preliminary examination and stoutly
denies the theft. He was taken to
Erie this morning.

his head and face crushed. Mrs.
Hollingworth was not killed but
was injured internally, had leg
broken and several deep wounds
inflicted about her head and
shoulders She was taken to a
hospital and was conscious and
alive this morning.
The boy Roy was crushed and
mangled beyond recognition and
his head almost severed from his
body. He was lying in the wreck
age but it was possible for the
trainmen to remove the body in a
short time.
Marie was pinned under the
wreck of the automobile with the
weight of the car Oh her legs. 1t
was impossible to release her until
the coal car and automobile were
both removed. The smashup hap
pened at 8 o'clock in the afternoon
and It was exactly 4:3o o'clock
when the car was raised and the
little crushed body was removed.
Heroic physicians worked their
way into the wreckage and admin
istered stimulants to her every
time consciousness returned. Her
frenzied screams almost drove the
trainmen and bystanders frantic.
She lived but short time after
she was released.
The attending physicians say
that Mrs. Hollingworth has a
chance of recovery if she withstands
the shock of her family's death.
From all reports of the accident
no one was to blame. Holling-
worth had slowed down his motor
car and started up again when the
brakeman signaled for the train to
back across the crossing.

Geo. Bundy Slayer
Of John w oodruff
Jury Returns Verdict Of Guilty
Against Bundy and
- Fleener

young farmer who lived near
Savonburg, was solved by jury in
the Neosho County District Court
here about midnight last night when
the Jurors returned verdicts of guilty
against Charles Fleener and George
Bundy. They were arrested two
weeks ago over the protest of
County Attorney Smith and by
order of Attorney General John S.
Dawson. and charged with the
crime.
Bundy was found guilty of man
slaughter in the first degree and
may be sentenced to serve the
maximum of twenty-one years in
the penitentiary. Fiesner was
found guilty of manslaughter in the
fourth degree and he may receive
only Jail sentence.
John Woodruff was killed Sunday
September II, IeI1. Late in the
afternoon, Bundy, FIeener and
Woodruff started to drive to creek
near Savonburg. Bundy and Flee
ner were driving ahead and Wood
ruff was following in his spring
wagon. According to the story
told by Bundy and FIeener,
they heard two pistol shots and
looked back to see Woodruff
writhing upon the roadside and
crying out that he had shot himself.
Instead of notifying someone of
the shooting, however, they took
the injured man on down to the
creek and laid him among some
tall weeds by the bridge. They re-
NAMED there with him until a
farmer, passing over the bridge and
observing Woodruff's wounds and
pallid face, warned Bundy and
Fleener of the victims dangerous
condition. The men then fastened
the wounded man to his home, but
he died before he could be taken
into the house.
The coroner's jury returned a
verdict generating Bundy and
Fleener upon their statement as to
how the shooting occurred.
Cornelius Woodruff, John Wood
rufus father, employed F. J. Oyler,
an attorney Of lola, to work on tire
case. For six months Oyler and
detectives conducted quiet inquiry.
Then they demanded that County
Attorney Smith issue warrants for
the accused men. Smith declined.
He had conducted the inquest in
behalf of the state, he said, and was
satisfied that the death was suicide.
Then Oyler went to Topeka, SUB
mitted his evidence to Attorney
General Dawson, who recommended
to Governor Stubs that action
against Bundy and Fleener be
brought.
Prosecuting the case in the name
of the attorney general, oyler, with
Hyatt of Parsons, broke down the
defense theory of suicide by show
ing that Bundy left his buggy and
entered the spring wagon with
Woodruff shortly after the party
had left the Woodruff home; tina
the two occupied an hour moving
over a mile of road and that there
was wrangling all along the way.
Witnesses said they had seen Bundy
seated on Woodruf's right, The
state showed that Bundy was EN-
Uttered against Woodruff because
of his belief that Woodruff had
robbed him of SToo and it wa
asserted that during the quarrel,
Bundy shot Woodruff in the right
arm and right thigh, then dis
mounted and ran to the rig ahea5
while Wo odruff toppled from his
seai 10 the ground.
The evidence showed that Wood
ruff did not get Bundy's money, but
that it was taken by the defendants
mother who feared that the funds
might be foolishly spent or lost while

DO YOU ENJOY EATING
Or Does Everything You Eat
Distress You?

Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common in
this country is due to hasty and
careless habits Of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions also
usually 60 together.
John Lind, of Oneonta, N. Y, says:
II have been troubled with a bad
stomach trouble for fifteen years. and
became so weak that l could hardly
walk or do any work. My appetite
was very poor. and 1t seemed impos-
sible to get any relief. Since taking
two bottles OF Vinol find that 1t has
already made a remarkable improve
ment in my health; my digestion is
much stronger, and have gained in
weight"
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because 1t strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol
is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try a bottle Of vinol with the
understanding that your money will
be returned II 1t does not help you,
p. 8. II you have Eczema try our
Saxo Salve. We guarantee 1t.
Vinol is sold in hinsdale, N. H., b,

HINSDALE, N. H.
Death Of Miss sophia A. pooIlttle.

Death Of Miss Sophia A. Doolitte.
The community was shocked Tuesday
to learn of the death in Binghamton,
N. Y, of Miss Sophia A. Doolittle, GO,
who visited relatives here about two
weeks ago and who was apparently in
the best of health. Miss Doolittle was
born in South Winchester, just over the
Hnsdale line, Dec. 5, 1S4S, and was the
daughter of Seth and Zuba (Whittaker)
Doolittle. When she was about six years
old the family moved to the Doolittle
farm this side of Doolittle's crossing.
She attended the public schools of Hns-
dale and Mortified and Powers Inst-
tute in Bernardston At one time she
was a clerk in N. |. Hawley's store in
Brattleboro. She later took up the
dressmaker's trade, working in this
town and later having dressmaking
rooms in Brattleboro. Twenty-six years
ago she went to Bnghamton, where
she bought an estate and opened a school
for feeble minded children Beginning on
a small scale with only one or two pu-
pills her especial adaptability for this
kind of work, together with her execu-
tive ability, found her each year with
an increased number added to her
charge. Additions to the buildings were
necessitated from time to time until a
large institution was built up Now 25
or 30 pupils are accommodated, and
"hen IL is remembered that this school
is also home for the pupils at the
same time, the size of the work be-
comes more apparent.
MISS Doolittle was taken Ill the last
OF last week and an operation was
deemed necessary. This took place Sat-
urday afternoon and although she rail-
lied temporarily, she died Monday fore
noon. The body was brought here We'd
nesday afternoon accompanied by A. A.
Boldt, who was called there Saturday.
Miss Doolittle leaves two neces, Mrs.
a. "A. Boldt OF this town and Mrs AL
zen ingram or Leverett, Mass, and one
nephew, Arthur Dooittle, also of Lev
erett.
The funeral was held in the home of
A. "A. Boldt Thursday afternoon at l
o'clock. Rev. A. L. Hill officiating and
the burial took place in the family lot
in South Winchester.
