Pioneer Citizen Departed This Life
at Ripe Old Age-Buried Satur-

MOVES TODAY
Moves From Building it Has Used for
Years to More Modern one.
Made Much History.

The United States land office is
being removed today from the old
Rogers building into ]. W. Jones
new brick building on the corner and
adjoining the present location.
The new building has a frontage
of SO feet on Main street, and 70 feet
on Pacific, is one story in height,
built of fine red brick with a massive
cornice of gray stone. 1t is finely
finished in every respect, is heated by
the American Ideal hot water sys-
tenn, fully plumbed, has large fire
proof vaults and the walls are tinted
in subdued orange color.
The New Building.
The land office is to have the part
on the corner, and Attorney ]. w.
Jones reserves for his law office the
part fronting only on Main street. 1t
has large front office, much larg-
er room for library and consultation,
one large vault and smaller private
rooms at the rear. The consultation
room has a large skylight and all
around the sides are cement bases
for book cases. the bases furnishing
a perfectly solid rest for the wood
and glass sections of books, with no
chance to settle, or quiver with the
tread upon the floor.
The land office is especially fitted
to suit the business of that office, and
it will be great relief to the office
force to get into the larger and finer
quarters.

AND KILLED AT MUD LAKE

a hundred yards distant which they
did. This house was about a quarter
Of a mile north of 'Welche's place.
The smaller of the two boys, however.
wanted to se the proceedings, and
peeked around thb corner of the
house. His story of what happened,
as told by Mr.. Robinson. was about
as follows.
i Bill Williams and Nose Johnson,
disposed themselves, one on each side
of the road, and waited for the two
horsemen to come up. When they
came close enougr to hear, Williams
and Johnson commanded Joe Will
ANS and Thomas to throw up their
hands" neither complied, but Joe
Williams wheeled his horse and gal
lope away, while "Scarface" slid off
his horse, drawing his rifle as he did
so. Then Bill fired, and the bullet
struck the top of the right shoulder
Of the horse.
At this point the boys story is not
clear. He is not sure whether Thom-
az snapped his rife at his enimies or
not, but anyway Immediately follow
ing Williams shot, Nose Johnson al
so fired and laid "Scarface" in the
dust. Thomas gun was not discharg-
ed.
Judging from the balance of the
boys story, Joe Williams was not
armed. He galloped away and as
he reached the corner of the lane he
called to Thomas to come on. It
seems he rode home and got his gun,
for about an hour later he again
showed up, and took a long range
shot at the party in the wagon, the
bullet singing very closet but not
striking the wagon nor any member
OF the party. Then he disappeared.
The party then took refuge in set
tiers house and waited the coming
Of the sheriff.
They did not surrender to Consta-
BILE Jim Eby, as first reported.
Circumstances surrounding the Kill
ling would indicate that the fued lis
one of long standing, and that Will
liams and johnson were not only pre-
pared for but were expecting trouble
when they went into the Mud lake
section
Alex. Robinson accompanied the
two. boys home to Lewisville, while
Sheriff Harrop took the two men to
st. Anthony.

Statements Made by J, U. McPherson
Being Disputed by Many.

The statements of ]. U. McPher-
son quoted last week relative to the
returns received on shipments Of po-
tatoes by his organization are being
disputed by so many substantial evi-
dences, that we doubt very much his
truthfullness.
We have concluded that in view Of
other statements he made earlier in
the season which we know were uu-
true, that it is up to him to produces
the proof of every thing he says on
this subject before he is entitled to
space in the press. We challenge
Mr.. Mcpherson to produce the docu-
ments to prove that his association
is marketing potatoes at prices he \ %
been having the press announce, or
at any figure that is materially high
er than the dealers are paying. Ana
by this we mean that he must show
the complete record Of the transae-
tions, not simply the order for the
goods at certain price, but the re-
turns on them, with the report Of de-
ductions made at the other end of
the line where they pass from the
responsibility of the association and
turn into money for the producer.
We are sending Mr.. Mcpherson
marked copy of this paper, and it ID
now up to him.

STATE OFFICIALS HERE

State Treasurer o. V. Allen came
through from Boise Wednesday morn
ing on his way to Mackay to look
after some private business. He has
recently returned from a trip to Bos-
ton to the Bankers convention, and
he has been i'll since his arrival at
home. He thought he would stay a
day or so at Mackay and possibly get
out with some of the boys for little
sport with trout and game.
Mr.. Allen was accompanied by Dr..

Later: New light is shed on the
shooting affray at Mud lake, by Alex.
Robinson of this city, who was on the
scene of the tragedy bout an hour
and a half after the shooting, and
who talked freely with the sons OF
Bill Williams and Nose Johnson. who
witnessed the tragedy from house
nearby. The boys are about IA or15
years of age, and were able to give
an intelligent account of the affair,
but not knowing the causes trat led
up to the quarrel, number of things
are left to conjecture.
According to the story as told by
the boys, and retold to The Post by
Mr.. Robinson, Bill Williams, Nose
Johnson and the two boys were trav-
cling westward on the Birch creek
road in wagon. Far ahead Of them
and coming toward them on the Birch
creek road, they saw two horsemen
approaching trem.
There they are," said Mr.. Wilt
ans, and, in ord er to avoid trouble.
the team waS turned up a branch
road toward Mud lake, and the team
whipped up.
Evidently the horsemen had also
discovered the wagon and made a
good guess as to the occupants, for
trey cut across country to intercept
the team and wagon.
When Williams and Johnson saw
this maneuver they abandoned hope
of avoiding their enemies, and at the
crosss roads where the parties would
meet, they sent the boys away, tell
ing them to get behind a house about

Bowels Get Weak
As Age Advances
The First Necessity Is To Keep The
Bowels Gently Open With a
Mild Laxative Tonic.

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition Of the
bowels that great care should be taken
to see that they act regularly. The
fact is that as age advances the stom-
ach muscles become weak and mac
tive and the liver does not store up
the juices that are necessary to
prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eating
easily digested foods and by plenty of
exercise, but this latter is irksome to
most elderly people. One thing is
certain, that a state of constipation
should always be avoided as it is dan
gerous to life and health. The best
plan is to take a mild laxative as
aften as is deemed necessary. But
with equal certainty 1t is suggested
that catharties, purgatives, physics,
salts and pills be avoided, as they do
but temporary good and are so harsh
as to be q shock to a delicate system.
A much better plan, and one that
thousands of elderly people are fol-
lowing, is to take gentle laxative
tonic like Dr. Caldwells Syrup, which
acts as nearly like nature as is posi-
BILE. In fact, the tendency of this rem
edy is to strengthen the stomach and
bowel muscles and so train them to
act naturally again, when medicines Of
all kinds can usually be dispensed
with. This is the opinion of many
people of different ages, among them

Jackson, Miss, Jan. eff there is

freight office as a convenience to mer-
chants, the Mississippi Railroad Com

The commission yesterday cited ev-

representatives appear before the body
at regular meeting on Feb. IS, and
show cause why telephones should
not be installed in all railroad stations
in towns where there are telephone ex-

The commission took up this ques-

a Jackson transfer firm that the agent
of the Illinois Central road in Jackson
was contemplating disseminating the
Telephone in the freight delivery de-
partment of the warehouse.
Several other matters Of interest

Jackson, Miss Jan. 23.-Twenty Of
the leading business men of Jackson
left yesterday for Oklahoma City to
appear as witnesses in the cases of
United States VS.. Fred Ward, H. F.
Crisler and r. o. Bonds, officers and
agents of the defunct Jackson Loan &
Trust Company, charged with using
the mails with intent to defraud.
Indictments against the three par
ties named were returned several
months ago, and they have since been
under bond for appearance at the pres
ent court term in Oklahoma City.
Among the witnesses from this city
who will testify are the following: e.
e. Hindman, receiver of the defunct
company; Fred NJ. West, Federal ref
cree in bankruptcy; R. o. Edwards,
postmaster of Jackson; w. G. Allen,
assistant cashier of the defunct Mis-
sissippi Bank & Trust Company; R. F.
Young, cashier First National bank;
Sydney Craft, cashier of Jackson bank;
Amos r. Johnston, cashier of Capital
National bank; T. McClelland, former
president of the Jackson bank; Judge
w. H. Potter, attorney; Louis c. Hal
lam, former city prosecutor, and 9th
ers.
The Jackson Bank & Trust Compa-
ny, prior to the proceedings instituted
against it two years ago, operated ex-
tensively in several Southern states.
Efforts to put it out of business
through the state courts were unavail-
ing, and it was not checked until the
Federal government issued a fraud
order and barred its literature from the
mails. No indictments were found
against the officers in this state, but
when the Federal authorities in Okla
bona started an investigation, criminal
charges were preferred and indict-
ments found.
