RICHARD T|LL|S
 SUED FOR S1OO,0O0 Montgomery Millionaire De- fendant in Suit Brought
 by His Son-in-Law

Montgomery, October 16.-(Special)- )- Richard Tillis, millionaire owner of the Montgomery Light and Traction conn pony, was sued for $1O0,000 by his son. in-law l. E. Boyette, several weeks ago, according to information which became public today after having been suppressed from the newspapers for four weeks.
 Officials of the city court refused to show the summons and complaint to newspaper men, but admitted that the suit had been filed and that it would be tried October 2s. They declared that 1t was against the policy of the city court clerks office to give out information about such against individuals.
 The suit is said to be one of the most sensational in the history of Montgomery county. Boyette was arrested three months ago and was kept in the county jail several days on the charge of murder in connection with the death of Peter J. Westhofen, a German, who was wound ed while on an automobile ride with Mrs. Boyette. Westhofen stopped near Me- Gehee's switch and left the automobile. A few minutes later Mrs. Boyette heard a pistol shot and after an investigation found Westhofen with bullet wound in his arm. The German died from lock jaw few days later.
 Isaac White, a chauffeur, was arrest ed, but he and Boyette were released after proving that they knew nothing about the cause of Westhofen's death.
 Boyette for a long time was manager of the Montgomery Cooperage works, which is owned by Richard Tilis and as- sociates. Tillis' daughter and Boyette have been married several years.

BULL MOOSE PLACE
 TICKET IN WALKER
Strong Men Placed in Nomination To Be Voted on Next
 Month

Jasper october 16.-(Special. )-JThe pro- gressive. or bull moose party, of Walker county have nominated strong ticket for county officers to be voted for at the coming November election. The men selected for the offices open to candl- dates are as follows: For tax collector, J. l.. Vines; county treasurer, J. w. Brasfied; superintendent, of education. B. II. Richardson: county auditor, k. $. Blanton; county commissioners, T. q. Lawson and J. D. Myers; judge of inferior court, c. r,. Hoobler.
 These men are recognized by their party as strong men. The democrats and re- publicans speak favorably of the candi- dates of the third party. and. 1t is expected they will have strong support at the com ing election.
 The old parties do not feel that the op- position of the third party will lessen their chance of victory as the bull moose followers are men who used to represent one or the other of the old parties At the present time. however, the political leaders most familiar with county poll tics are unable 10 forecast accurately the relative significance of the new party movement with reference to weakening or strengthening either the democrats or re- publicans.
 The democrats believe the new party will strengthen their chance of victory. The republicans for a while were fearful i lest the bull moose party would put out a ticket that would aid in defeating their | candidates It is believed now they look | upon the new opposition with less fear than at first.
 | The ticket was nominated in q very l quiet and informal way. No one knew of | their plans and candidates until 1t was all | over.
