Guilty Persons Found in William
Pearson Murder

The Grant County News: Albert
Schroeder, who has been before the
public for the past few months on the
charge of having killed William Pear
son of Wyalusing, has confessed to the
murder, as has his step daughter Mrs
Pearson, wife of the murdered man.
They made the confession Wednesday.
AS of old, the woman in the case was
the instigator of the deed. She planned
and urged the deed. Mr. Pearson had
an insurance of 1000 in the Yeoman
Lodge. She offered Schroeder half of it
if he would commit the deed.
Schroeder shot him from the window
in the barn loft. Mrs Pearson went to
the body of her murdered husband and
placed it in such position as to indi
cate suicide, and even shot Off the gnn
so as to burn his whiskers, to add to
the idea of self destruction.
Schroeder went to his home at once,
and Mrs Pearson did not give the
alarm until Schroeder had had time to
reach his home.
There is a special term of court on
the oath, and no doubt they will re-
ceive their sentence at that time. The
sentence will no doubt be murder in
the first degree, which is life sentence,
both for Schroeder and Mrs Pearson,
his accomplice, who is considered to be
more degraded than her companion in
the crime.

NOT QUITE AN INCH OF RAIN
But Showers This Week Have Been
Boon to Farmers and Oil Men.

Less than one inch of rain has fallen
SO far this week, according to the
records kept by DR.. II. NJ. Hutchinson,
who is in charge of the local branch
of the government weather bureau.
Yesterday the precipitation from the
heavy shower in the afternoon was
IL inches. The rain Monday night
measured 81 making "a total of ~
hundredths of an inch.
Altho the rainfall has not been
heavy 1t has been sufficient to put the
earth in excellent condition for spring
crops. II has filed hundreds of ponds
which had become dry in eastern Ok
lahoma. Dr. G. f. Earnheart, county
farm demonstrator, says the rain has
broken drouth that threatened to
become disastrous. Before the showers
Monday night, many farmers and
dairymen were driving cattle two or
three miles to water.
But the agriculturists are not the
only ones who will profit by the
showers. Oil men are delighted with
the change as they say 1t will permit
drilling to be resumed which had been
hampered by lack Of water.
