The whole country is interested in
the Detroit trunk murder. The story
Of McKoy Jackson, Of Sturgis, in this
State, tie cutter, the husband Of the
unfortunate girl who was murdered,
is Of absorbing interest to the people
Of this section on account of our close
proximity to the home Of the unfor-
tunate women.S Here it is taken from
the Commercial Appeal:
Starkville, Miss, July 27-'T am
! positive the woman reported in the
trunk murder is my Wife" said Kid
Mccoy Jackson, husband of the wom-
an whose remains were hacked to
pieces and shipped to New York City.
He was clad in a pair of new overalls
and from his manner seemed to be
unnerved by the strain caused by the
horrible tragedy. He was just re-
turning to his work at Sturgis late
this evening hauling cross ties, but
kindly stopped to be interviewed.
II was married to Kate Lou Fon-
dren, in May, 1918, at Louisville,

to live with my parents, he continued.

me she wanted me to go with her
to some city, but declined the idea,
telling her that / could make her
living right at home, and | tried every
way in my power to do so. Finally,
in September, 1918, she left me and
went to Nashville, where / believe she
found employment in restaurant

ernnent.
"She came back in December of the
same year, and remained with me un-
til April, 1919. After staying here
three months she left again, going

Dir. Jackson said he never answer
ed this letter. The girl referred to in
both letters, Ida Merle, was JacksOn's
sister.
Her stepfather, Mr.. Clinton
Vaughn, living some five miles from
Bradley in this county, said he re-
ceived letter from Mrs. Jackson
last year while she was in Nashville
saying she was getting along very
nicely and wished to be remembered
by all the folks.

Mr.. Vaughn said she was a girl of
kind disposition, full Of fun and en-
joyed herself in all kinds of company.
Mr. w. r. Buckner of the same neigh
borhood and second cousin, by mar
riage, of the deceased told story of
interest which win probably throw
some light on the mystery

she introduced to me as Mr.. Leroy.

them. AS near as can remember

a double first cousin of Mccoy Jack

and was sorry such tragedy hap
pened He said Katie Lou was
girl that everybody liked, but at
times she appeared to have a way of
her own, and when in such a mood
her disposition was very unpleasant.

the state moisture conditions are ex-
cellent. In fact, according to the re-
ports which have been received by
Chas. D. Greenfield, Commissioner of
Agricultural and Publicity, rain and
snow have been so continuous during
the past month that spring seeding
has been delayed several weeks. In
majority OF the counties winter wheat
is reported in good condition, hut in
Blaine, Hill, Flathead and Ravalli
there has been more or less winter
killing. Due to the cold weather grass
has not started in good shape and in
livestock have suffered
Indications are that acreage will be
cut as compared with
last year due to either lack Of labor,
the high wages demanded or to the
of the season. One coun-
", Saltwater, reports the lambing sea-
son practically over with about 80 per

Governor Frazier declared that such
agencies "can cut the profiteering in
the food products OF the farmer, which
the laboring man needs and the manu-

which the farmer needs."
He asserted opposition to the farm
