A. J. HESTER ENUMERATED
IN BRADLEY JUNCTION CASE

In preliminary trial before
Judge Trammell. Thursday morning,
A. j. Hester was exonerated of the
charge of the murder of Levi Fee
wawks at Bradley Junction last
Tuesday. Riley and Isaiah Fewawks
are still in jail and Mrs. Hurst was
released on bond of $500.
The troubl, as was stated last
week, was due to the fact that Mr..
Hester. who had rented house from
Mrs. Hurst, refused to vacate the
premises until proper notice had
been served or allow the owner to
store her goods in the place. Riley
Fewawks, Levi Fewawks and Isaiah
Fewawks, brothers of Mrs. Hurst,
accompanied her to the house when
she made her demand. An alterca-
ton followed, Levi Fewawks was
killed and several persons wounded.
Iii the preliminary it was shown that
Levi was shot in the back and the
bullet used was SO calibre. He
was facing Hester and Testers pis-
tol was 80 calibre, so 1t was EVIL
dent that the shooting was done by
some one else. 1t Is thought that In
the excitement he was accidentally
shot by one OF his brothers Bar.

Of the county commissioners in the
matter Of good roads in Polk county,
It seems to be a fine opportunity to
get the information and education
many of our citizens desire in order
to determine whether we want this
kind of road or not.
About twenty OF our citizens have
already announced their intention to
make the trip, including members
of the county and city commission

made in one day. 1t is expected that
the party will leave here shortly af-
o'clock for dinner. Good moonlight

Word has been received from Bar
