FARMER KILLED FROM AMBUSH
Moonshlners Believed To Have MUIR
dered Him For Revenge.

Elkins, w. -Bloodhounds failing
to locate the slayer Of George Carr, a
wealthy Pendleton county farmer and
stock man. who was shot from ambush
Friday, the county officials now are
working on the theory that he was a
victim of moonshiners, in whose prose
cution he had been active.
Carr, who was so years old and un-
married, went on horseback late Fri
day evening after his cows in a field
near his home. Not returning in rea-
sonable time, his aged father and
mother made search and found him
with bullet hole through his head.
A moonshine still three miles from
the Carr home was raided year ago,
the outfit being confscated, but the
operators escaped. Carr was blamed
by the moonshiners for having given
the information to Government ON
cials.

Although formal responses have not
yet been received by the Brazilian and

ports sent to their governments last
week, after the decision to recognize

given in advance Of the conference to

United States does. The Bolivian and
Guatemalan ministers, the remaining
members Of the conference. have had
similar instructions. Although not a
member of the conference. the Yene-
zuelan Minister, together with other
diplomatic representatives, has been
instructed to take identical action with
the United States.
