Good Lawyer Will Be Re-
tained to Take Care of
Her Interest.
MAY FUNERAL WEDNESDAY
Believed Colored Restau-
rant Proprietor Left
a Lot of Property.

A warrant will be sworn out today
charging Cora May with the murder
OF her husband, Billy May, and date
will be set for preliminary examina-
ton before the justice who issues the
ESarrant. Billy rests at peace, but it
is reported that his wife is taking the
result OF her shooting very hard,
though she is already endeavoring to
arrange foT the best defense possible,
Friends of the woman, according to
report, have a large sum Of money
ready to pay down for the services OF
capable attorney and are promising
more when the case is finished.
The trial of Mrs. May bids fair to
becoming one of the best attended in
man va long day. Cora is pretty
little colored woman, who is said to
have many friends Of both sexes.
These friends stand ready to do all in
their power for her. Some letters
which she has in her possession may
do much toward Furnishing strong
motive Off the crime, in Cora's favor.
Attorney MusgraYe, who was con-
suited regarding q divorce between
the two recently, says Billy claimed
his wife would 1Ant stayat homa, but
instead liked to attend dances and
picture shows. Cora is but 21, while
Billy was over forty years of age.
Billy said he would give his wife
money and clothes if she would stay
at home, but not unless she would.
Cora claimed she was merely having
a good time, and could not go to
shows and other places with Billy be-
cause he couldn't get away from his
business.
Billy left no word when he died,
though authorities at the hospital
asked him to state what he desired
should be done with his property and
waht he wanted said about the
shooting. The colored man turned
his face to the wall and refused to
speak. He died a moment later. 1t
is rumored about town that good
deal of money must have been left,

laid away quite pile.

SALVATION ARMY
HALL TO Be BUILT
Specifications Will Be
Changed to Comply
With the Law.


Ensign o,Beirne of the Salvation
Army is somewhat encouraged this
morning in spite Of the fact that his
plans were somewhat upset yesterday
when the City Board of Affairs re-
fused to allow his new building to be
erected of the materials as planned.
Tho ensign believed that with sheet
ing covering the teamwork, the hall
to be erected would answer fire reg
ulations and rules. He states this
morning that the building material
will be changed to meet the regula-
tions and work will proceed as far as
possible.
Yesterday IL prisoners from the Jail
were permitted to do the digging for
the foundation and large amount of
work was done. This morning Is pris-
oners were on hand under guard
promptly at seven o'clock. Sheriff
Glover, In spite Of the fact that he is
Just recovering from a cold, stood for
sometime watching, his men, though
other business waited for him at the
courthouse
The county court has been very will
ling to help the Ensign and has even
donated large truck to carry away
the dirt. The dirt is being dumped
on the armory lot. Already S5 loads
have been sold at $3.50 a load. Part
Of this money paid for hiring of men
for the first day of digging before the
county allowed the Ensign the priso-
ners. Lunch was served the workers
at noon
The foundation will be finished by
evening according TO report this morn
ing. The Ensign has promise of help
o the building OF the hall itself which
will be started innnediatnlr
