1t is a pretty good indication that
Manager ~Poindexter has his mind
made UP to keep CARRIER and She

best pitchers in Central Texas cir

it seemed to be a signal for the fire

inning netted three runs, a lead the
Civilians could never overcome.
Ovilla got her first run off Up

off Chambers in the fifth and tied

Wealthy Recluse
Dies From Wound;
Thought Suicide

Dying from a gunshot wound
through the head, Fl. R. Bocott, 80
year-old civil war veteran and wealthy
recluse of Benson, was found early
last night about fifty feet from the
county road, near Chris Lyck's saloon,
5202 Military avenue. Apparently the
aged man had shot himself, as the
bullet entered through his mouth, in
which the muzzle of a new revolver
had been placed. The pistol was
found at his side. 49,.
He died at St. Joseph's hospital a
few moments after he had been re-
ceived.
Nels Robertson, brother -in-law, as
serted this morning that Bocott had
been worrying over financial matters
. lately, despite the fact that he always
asserted that he was worth lots of
money. He borrowed 81 from a
neighbor with which to purchase the
revolver that ended his life. In his
effects were found stock certificates
and other papers to show that up to
a few years ago he had been worth
much money. Robertson was at a
loss to explain where the money
went, as Bocott had lived with him
in recent years and had spent little.
He was widower and is survived by
a son, Herbert, in Montana, and a
daughter, Mrs. Beatrice Shaner Of
Beaver, Pa. An inquest will be held
Friday morning at 9 o'clock.

American Mediators

Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 23-
With the announcement tonight that
the Mexican-American joint commits
sion would meet again tomorrow,
"as usual" the prospects were be-
lieyed to be better for an amicable
agreement.
1t became known tonight that the
commissioners have considered a
slight alteration of the American pro-
posal, which, if agreed to, would make
probable an agreement. The sug-
gested alteration would not change
materially the real meaning of the
program submitted to the Mexican
commissioners but would save them
tie humiliation of signing a docu-
ment in which there appeared the
formal consent of the Mexican gov
eminent for the violation of its ter
ritory by troops of the United States.

OMAHA LAD KILLED
IN ROBBERY FIGHT
John Davis Shot in Pistol Bat
tie as He Attempts to Rob
Drug Store in St. Louis.
FAMILY LIVES IN OMAHA

John Davis, aged "a years, 1872
North Twenty-eighth street, son of
Mrs. Hannah Davis OF the above ad-
dress, was shot and killed in a pistol
battle with drug clerk and police
man following an attempted robbery
OF the Compton pharmacy. St. Louis,
Mo-, early yesterday morning. A COM
panion was wounded.
Young Davis was born and raised
in Omaha and beside his mother is
survived by eight brothers and sis
tiers. A telegram was received by
Mrs. Davis this morning informing
her of her sons death. Surviving the
lad in Omaha are Mrs. Charles
Klinger, Mrs. A. T. Taylor and Mrs.
J. F. Daley, married sisters, and Mary
and Veronica Davis, who live with
their mother; and two brothers,
George, employed in the stock yards
in South Omaha, and William, work
ing at the Union Pacific shops. An
other married sister, Mrs. Catherine
Campbell, resides in Memphis.
Did Not Write Home.
John Joseph Davis, the boy who
was shot, left home some eight
months ago after a little difficulty
here. He went to Montana, where
he engaged in work on railroad.
From the time of his departure up to
few days ago, when his folks re-
ceived postal from him in St. Louis,
he had not communicated with his
parents.
The wounded bandit, who was shot
in the hip, gave his name to the St.
Louis police as John Alfred Lewis of
Sacramento, Cal.
John Davis of Omaha was identi-
fed by means of his name in a coat
bearing the stamp of the Glasgow
Tailors, $40 South Fifteenth street,
Omaha. The date of the suits sale
was December 10, 1915.
The shooting followed a series of
holdups and robberies by automobile
bandits in St. Louis within the last
few days. The men were in a stolen
car when the shooting occurred.
Lewis was shot by Francis J. Cur
ran, the drug clerk, and Davis was
killed by Police Sergeant John Fla
herty.
The automobile bore a Nebraska
license 4,435. Secretary of State Pool
says the number was issued to ]. w.
Latta of Clay Center. Inquiry made
at Clay Center failed to determine
if Mr.. Latta's car had been stolen.
Lewis is rs years old, five feet seven
inches tall, weighing 100 pounds, and
has fair complexion and brown
hair.
The initials, S. P, were engraved
on watch found on the body of
Davis; there also was the date, De-
cember rs, 1912.
William Davis, brother of John,
was brought before Judge Foster
about year ago in regard TO the
theft of an auto, but because of his
youth was not sentenced to jail.
Joseph Riha, salesman for the Glas-
gov tailoring establishment, who
sold Davis the suit by which he was
identified, offered a description that
tailed perfectly with that furnished
by the St. Louis authorities.
At police headquarters Detective
Devereese revealed a photo of the
man, which was taken when he was
arrested on suspicion last April as
being member of the ]. Griffen auto

Try This If You
\ Have Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, ordi-
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, Of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
