WITH HATCHET IN HIS STORE.
NO CLEW

MuskCgee, Okla. Nov. 2G.-Complete
mystery surrounds the murder of b
F. Richardson, an aged furniture and
second hand dealer who was Drained
with a hatchet sometime on Tuesday
! night.
Richardson was alone in his store
and apparently went into back room
with lamp in his hand when the mur-
derer sprang out from hiding and
felled him with a hatchet blow that
split the skull.
Apparently the victim was struck
twice more after he had fallen each
blow splitting the skull His brains
ran out into his hat. The body was
found later by brother and a friend
who entered the store looking for
him.
The hatchet had been taken from a
shelf in the store. 1t was carefully
washed and put back but one drop
of blood on the end of the handle |
gave the clue.
The murder was committed within |
a block Of the central police station.
A Mexican was detained temporari-
ly, but the police have nothing to
connect him with the crime.
No motive has been discovered
Richardson had lived here 10 years
and had no known enemies.

Want Party Agreement.

1t was determined that before the
debate proceeded further members
OF the party should discuss the two
bills behind closed doors and reach
as full an agreement as possible upon
the features of the legislation which
split the senate committee.

senate to work until 6 O'Clock each
night and to consider the currency
measure at all times when special
orders did not prevent.

the absence of show of i'll feeling be-
tween the advocates of the different
