FROM THE PEOPLE

We are very consist tent people. We strain at a gnat and swallow a camel We can't allow OUT citizens a1Id tax payers to exhibit a sparing match boxing bout on the stage as demor- alizing degrading and rank viola }ion of the law. We must prohibit the sale of cold drinks and cigars on Sun day; this is a violation of the law. We can't allow our merchants to run punch boards or raffle that contain blanks. Nor must they sell toy pistols such as shoot paper caps for amuse- ment of kiddies This too is a violation of the city laws. We can't allow the merchants tG put a stand out on the sidewalk in front of their place of business their own property or pro- perty they may be renting. This is a violation of the city ordinance, and wouldI block the traffic. A citizen must drive his car and stop it by cer- tain regulations as he might block the traffic of the streets.
 But we can allow a bunch of stran- gers to come to our town and give them free lights, free water, permit them to block the entire streets, erect and run gambling stands of various kinds, and not even charge them lic- ense. Permit them to run and exhibit boxing bouts and wrestling matches where 5000 forfeits are made (nC betting of course.) And exhibit Jude women, half clad where public dane ing is kept up all night.
 And yet we wonder why we have murderers, robbers and thieves. Why tho good name of our litlle city is marred with the shameful crime oi such henious murder as was com laitted on the night of the third. A
 crime we could hardly conceive of be.
 ing committed in a civilized commun-
 ity. Don't blame the show, it only
 gave an opportunity to develop ouy
 home talent. If you keep mad dog
 in your home running loose what
 should you expect? We think the cit zens Of Ashdown stand ready with | their time and means to exterminate
 such develtry. "A Citizen

Then she broke away and fled to the woods toward the home of her brother, w. F. Gammill That would account for her and the child not having their hats on. The mur- derers maybe fearing recognition and exposure had followed her with her husbands gun and had caught and killed her and the child shortly be- fore they reached the public road 100 yards from which they were found.
 These are some of the many theories of the baffling mystery concerning the crime which appalls and strikes with horror the people of this city and county.

dered woman, is a section foreman. He lives in the section house a half mile west of town There are no other houses near. He left home Fri day morning to go to his work. During the day Mrs. Diles came to town, col lected the pay check, and paid some bills ii town and returned home in the evening, it is said " u about Si7 in a handbag About $250 was kept about the house, and it is stated that when Mrs. Diles left home she usually car ried it about her person. When her husband returned about o'clock Fri day evening she was not at home. He notified the officers and started search, which continued all night and up to 10 the next day, when the bodies were found. According to Mr. Diles she usually started supper at 4:30. He had left no wood split that morning. and on his return found the wood split but not carried in and no fire made. He says that she was ap- preached by the murder party while at the woodpine. She was woman stockly built, weighing 165 pounds Mir. Diles believes that there were two or three in the party; he believes she and the child were carried away in a buggy.
 The Buggy Clew.
 About 100 yards from where the bodies were found and leading from the section louse is dim road. A buggy had come up that road. At a point opposite where the bodies were found it had stopped, backed up and gone back part of the way it had come and then worked it's way back toward town. Some think the buggy played part in the mystery. Others scout the buggy theory on the grounds that a delivery boy had been up the read and gotten lost and turned.
 Robbery Was Motive.
 The officers have gone on the theory that the motive of the crime was rob bery. At the request of MT. Diles, Dr. J. w. Ringgold, the coroner had the body searched for the $250, which MT. Diles said she carried. It was not found on her person, but was later found sewed up in bag among some quilts. The $17 said to have been in her handbag, however was missing. There is every indication that murder was committed where the bodies were found. There were no signs of strug- gle about the house. Her clothing was smutted from having come in contact with the small burned pines in the midst of which she was found.
 Did She Flee?
 There is still another theory in re- gard to how the crime was committed. It is that she was held up at home outside the/ house and made to tell where the money was, and that she
