Is KILLED

F. Johnson, of 120 South 9Th street,
received word last night OF the killing
of his brother, in Denison, Texas, and
left this morning with his wife and
children for the scene of the tragedy.
AT the time of his departure he had
been unable to learn the details Of
the unfortunate affair, except that his
brother, who was a night cook in a
restaurant there was shot by the day
cook, and that the shooting was be-
lieved to have been accidental.
Mr. Johnson is agent for the Okla
homa Life & Accident Insurance Co.,
with headquarters in Oklahoma City,
but moved to Chickasha about two
months ago to make this city his
home. His wife joined him here last
week. Because of his being new

several hours passed before his sad
message was delivered yesterday eve
ming. Mr.. Johnson wishes to thank
the police Tor the especial effort they
made to locate him, and others who
assisted in finding him.

no time to think. She was still driven

it. Alix threw back her veil and
looked at him. With quick stride for

her mouth until she gasped for breath.
With flash she remembered his own
words, ''If ever kiss you shall bring
your soul out between your lips" To
