on first, taking his gun with him,
a double barrelled rifle, and as he
did not return when expected, party
went in search; but as heavy body
of snow had fallen before the search
began, his body was not found for
nearly two weeks. 1t was lying near
a large butternut tree. The wounds
on the body indicated that panther
had killed him One barrel of his
gun had been discharged and the other
barrel had missed fire. The infer
ence was that a panther was perched
on a horizontal limb of the butternut
tree when discovered by the doctor.

brute, when it sprang from the limb
upon the unfortunate man.

Winter Excursion Rates
To Florida to Be HIGHER

The railroads have announced the
annual winter excursion rates to
southern points. A six months re-
turn limit is allowed. Presumably due
to the high cost of living, the Florida
rates are about 81 higher than last
year. This year the rate to Jackson
vile and return will be $500; Miami,
5000; Palm Beach, $7306. The rate
TO New Orleans and return is $685.,
the same as last year.

MURDERER ELLIOTT

and killed George Albert Pettis a prosper
GUS farmer, and his daughter, Sybil, at
their home here and then escaped, is par
tally surrounded in a tract of woodland in
Rhode Island, few miles southeast OF this
town. As Elliott was armed with two
automatic revolvers it is thought he may
resist capture If cornered.
Elliott undoubtedly intended to kill
Mrs. Pettis, but spared her life when she
begged that she might live in order to
bury her loved ones. The murderer grinned
at her and said, Il like your nerve" He
then left the house and disappeared in the
woods nearby. The telephone wire had
been cut by Elliott. Mrs. Pettis after Il
short time went to a neighbor's house and
gave the alarm.
Elliott was insanely jealous of Miss Pet
tbs, who had refused his attentions He
had been drinking when he was in Put
nam the night before he went to the Pet
It's home. In addition to carrying dyna-
mite, with which it is supposed he at first
intended to blow up the house, he was
armed with four automatic revolvers, two
dirk knives, brass lnuckles and several
razors. He left all of the weapons at the
scene Of his crime in a black hand bag ex-
cept two Of the revolvers.
