A STRANGER KILLED MRS. ARD?
lola Searches for Armed Man Who
Interrupted Church Services

lola, Nov. 17.-Conviction is
growing here that Roy Ard and his
wife, Mrs. Viola Ard, who was shot
and killed from ambush last week,
have been the victims of some one
with a homicidal mania. This was
strengthened by report here today
that a roughly clad stranger, armed
with rifle, interrupted services at
a church near the home of the Ards
Sunday night. Just as the services
were about to begin the man step
ped into the church, carrying his
rifle in position. After quickly sur
veying the congregation, he stepped
outside and disappeared in the dark
ness.
The church was the one attended
by the Ard family and residents OF
the neighborhood today began a
search in an attempt to trace the
movements Of the stranger on the
theory that he was looking for Roy
Ard.

eraI John Dawson 'today named
Major A. M. Harvey of Topeka as
special assistant to pursue the IN
vestigation Of an alleged illegal
combination OF crerameries doing
