The baby is alleged to have been
the child of Charles Marshall, the ac-
cused man, and his desire to prevent
the Miller girl from testifying against
him in a criminal assault case is
given by the authorities AS the mo-
tive of che crime.
Marshall was under bond on a

about eighteen months ago. Following
the alleged assault, Miss Miller's babT

to investigate. His father picked up
a shotgun and followed. They circled
the house. but found nothing sus-
picious.
The father and son had just re-

baby to her. A third shot was fred
and the sister fell dead near the

baby crawled from her arms and be-
gan creeping around the floor.
Then Marshall entered, according TO
Pearl Miller, saw the baby, and
dubbed 1t to death with the butt end
OF his rife.
Pearl Miller was loking down from
the attic and watched him, too terri
fed to make a sound, she says.

my first coming to Thompson, it can
be said of him, that of the many men
who today labor for the interest of

their endeavor to please as he, never
apparently to tire in trying to give
his best service to his employer, to ac-

seldom to be found today. Thus for

are to be congratulated on having an
addition to its make up of citizenship
as will be found in Mr.. Hermanson.
An accident happened to Mr. Love
joys automobile on his way to the
West Thompson station, where he is
agent, last Friday morning. Sudden
ly, while descending the Nichols hill,
something about the mechanism of the
car was heard to snap, causing the We
hicle to quickly take to the side of
the road and crash through the guard
rail fence at that place. Mr.. Lovejoy
was thrown or jumped from the car,
having no recollection which. The
car went down the embankment, stop
ping against large oak tree, dam
aging it quite badly. 1t being quite
early in the morning, not much travel
was over the road. A Mr.. Mason, who
delivers milk to Thompson station, on
returning home found Mr.. Lovejoy,
who had begun to come to his senses,
and Immediately took him to the office
of Dr. Paine, who attended to his
bruises and wounds which seemed at
that time to be external. He was TAX
en- to his home and later to the Day
Kimball Hospital for X ray examina-
ton. On Saturday the examination
proved that DR.. Paine had given a
thorough examination, no bones brok-

ed Mr. Lovejoy is still confined to
his home, but is much better.
