w. A. PENNEY MURDERED

(Casa Grande Valley Dispatch)
 Crazed by jealousy, Jesus Nun oz shot Mrs. Cruz Moreno, killing her instantly, Thursday after noon, and then fired a shot into w. A. Tenrey, who, on hearing the shots, went over to the home of the woman to investigate the apparent trouble. On reachir g the place, which was just across the street from the rear of Ten ney's livery barn, Munoz stepped to the door and fired a shot at Penney, the shot passing through his heart, killing him instantly.
 Dave Cummins of this place, MT, Putnam and ". D. Butchee, of Florence, saw the tragedy, and Putnam endeavored to warn Ten ney to keep away from the house as he feared the crazed man would do just what he did, but Penney appeared not to have heard him call, and went almost to the door of the house and was looking at the murdered woman when he was shot.
 About twenty automobiles load ed with men went after the fugi- tive, who seemed on the warpath, sure enough. Charley French, who. with posse, was among the first in the chase, was shot by the man and is now suffering with a broken leg. Munoz was finally shot in the leg, and later met his death at the hands of Sheriff Miles of Pima county, | who happened to be in town when the alarm was given and joined the man hunt.
 It developed that the woman had threatened to leave Munoz and had prepared to leave that night. The couple had been quarreling for some time, and the matter was brought before Judge Bennett, who instructed Marshal Gates to settle their affairs for them, divide the money they were quarreling over, and "divorce them" There was no excuse whatever for the cruel murder of Penney, and anyone else happen ing near probably would have met the same fate.
 William Arthur Penney was a native of southern Utah, and would have been 56 years of age had he lived until May 26. He came to Casa Grande in June, 1914, and made his home with his son, W. A. Penney Jr. and fami- ly. He leaves eight children, who are: Mrs. Louise Sandin, Mrs. Grace Johnson, Carl Penney, Gwendolin Penney, Ms. Telma Poison, Mrs. Vera Caroway, Jack Penney and W. A. Penney his eldest son.
 Casa Grande loses one of it's best citizens Tn the person of 'Dad' Penney, as he was famili- arly known by everybody in the valley.

The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1918-09-03
C0L0RDED WOMEN SET GOOD
EXAMPLE TO OTHERS.

twenty-five colored women of Paris
recently sought employment of e. F.
Spears & Sons, and were placed at
work in the seed houses, where they
are proving valuable assistants. The
women are rapidly learning to accom-
plish work formerly done by men,
such as sacking seed, repairing sacks,
and engaging in general work Incl
dental to the process of cleaning and
sacking bluegrass seed ready for the
market.
THE NEWS heard of two colored
women who had made application
for places as wagon drivers, made
vacant by men who had been taken
in the draft service. Both claimed to
be familiar with the work, and it is
likely ere long that they may be
seen guiding horse-drawn vehicles
through the streets.
These women, besides making good
wages, are setting an example worthy
of commentator by many others not
only of their race, but by the idling
class of the lighter race, whose lives
of ease do not make them any more
highly respected than these women
who have had the courage and re-
