ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS relating to the
killing of 10 auxiliary police cadets
near Kllmlchael were read in the
House of Commons by Sir Hamar
Greenwood, chief secretary for Ire
land, in the course Of the Irish debate.
The party which 9mbushed the
cadets consisted Of from so to 100
men, AL dressed in khaki and wearing
steel trench helmets, They fired from
both sides Of the road on the lorries
and also directed an enfilading fire,

dered; their bodies were rlfed of all
money and valuables and even cloth
ing was taken from the cOrpses. Arms
and ammunition also were taken and
the lorries burned
The secretary thought that, with 1S
former officers Of the late war thus
lying dead, the House would not wish
to continue the discussion. He termed
the affair a challenge to Parliament
and civilization.
The subject was then dropped.

SURVIVORS OF MURDEROUs
GANG ARE INDICTED


Aida F. Shaw and r. B. Kelly,
bandits, charged with murder in the
first degree growing out Of the kill
ing Of Jailer George Reeves by Clyde
A. Hamilton, were indicted on the
charge by the grand jury yesterday,
and Mrs Aida F. Shaw, wife of Shaw,
was indicted as an accessory before
the fact, states the Memphis Com
mercial Appeal of December 4.
Gen. Bates said following the in
dictment that the trio would in all
probability be arraigned Monday and
that a speedy trial would follow.
These three were the only persons
indicted Yesterday in connection with
Reeves murder. Hamilton was slain
while resisting arrest at Winona,
Miss.
The warrant against Ernest Nc
Tendon, charged with completely in
the murder of Reeves, was dismissed
and no bill of indictment was pre-
sented to the grand iurv. Warrants
against others held for investigation
in connection with the murder, how
ever, have not been dismissed, and
further indictments may follow.
McLendon was arrested on the
theory of the state that he handed
the pistol to Shaw which was used by
Hamilton in fatally wounding the
'eiler. He sought 70 pet his release

THE ROAD BEYOND US

The road lay far beyond us, The right road you know. The one that leads to my house, Where the apples and peaches grow We trudged along the dusty way, As fast as we could go. To the road that lay beyond us. The right road you know. As the sun snugged into it's nest, And all was evening glow. We reached the road beyond us, The right road you know. And when the darkness gathered, And all was still once more We had reached the road beyond us, And were safe within homes door.

 sSHEP
 Shep had black ears. brown legs and body and a white muzzle. He was very intelligent and would not let any Of the children get near the railroad if a train was about due.
 Shep would take the cows to pasture every morning and about o'clock in the evening he would get them.
 One evening he failed to bring the cows home but as they knew the way they all came without him with the exception of one. Grandpa took the gun and went to the pasture to see what the matter was. When he got there he saw Shep walking around the COW, which had calf just newly born As there was brush all around the COW, he couldn't ssee any reason why Shep should be so mysterious. Grand pa called him and he set out through the brush, barking.
 Grandpa heard him barking and he knew that he had something treed When he got to the tree he saw some thing on a limb. He shot and it came tumbling down. It proved to be the largest panther that had been killed in that neighborhood for years.
 About a year after this Shep was run over by a train while taking the cows to pasture and we all mourned his death.
