the car. Upon nearing the car Jake
spied shotgun in the car and asked
Langford to let him have it for a
short time as certain niger" had
been "pestering around" his house
and he wanted to get him. Jake also
stated that he would bring the other
quart Of booze when he returned the
gun. Langford accompanied Jake a
short distance on his mission and
stopped, and says that in a few
minutes he heard gun shoot and
heard someone cry out, "for Gods
sake don't shoot me any more" That
this was then followed by two more
shots from the gun, and that he went
back to the car where he found Nc
Rae drunk and asleep. IN a short
time Jake reappeared and Langford
told him that he did not have any
money to pay him for the booze, where

DeveIopent of the Case

sunday morning Sheriff Galloway
received a phone message stating that
Mr.. Guthrie had been murdered and
immediately summoned Marshal
Thomas and together started for the
scene OF the crime. AS they neared
ahe railroad crossing near the Union
station they found the tracks blocked
with u passing freight train and had
10 stop. Marshal Thomas noticed a
young man by the name of Clarence
Langford who appeared to be under
tne influence of whiskey in a car driv-
en- oy Horace Hinton, and decided tc
take hi min charge, the sheriff pro
ceeding to the scene-and after ascer
tanning that young Langford had
given Hinton a roll of bills to keen
LOT MIN and was acting exceedingly
nervous decided to place him in the
city jail, first taking the money given
10 Hinton and giving him a receipt
ior the same. Later in the day Lang.
iord was removed to the county jail
ana the story he tells is about as fol-
lows:

heen shocked at some more or less
aiabollcal crime committed within
a. borders. but none in its history
was more cold-blooded as when Mr.. }.
i Guthrie, one OF the most peaceable,
tnoFensiye and upright citizens of this
.ac,ion was ambushed and murdered
near his home at Kendrick, and the
onlv cause so far given for the deed
WAS the fact that by his energies and
,hrift he had been able to put away
a few dollars for a rainy day" and
as he enjoyed a good patronage at his
little store at Kendrick was supposed
ON Saturday nights to have perhaps a
little more than usual in his Golfers.
After closing his store Saturday night
Mr. Guthrie took what money he had
In the store, placed it In little
money bag, took the books OF the
store and started for his home, short
distance away, and that was the last
seen of him until his body was found
sundaymorning, literally torn to
pieces as the result of three or four
loads Of buckshot fired at close
range.
Il was also found that his money
had disappeared. AT the point where
the body of the dead man was found
was in the opposite direction from
his home II is supposed that the .assas'
ain, through some seemingly plaus'
ible tale managed to decoy Mr.. Guth-
Tie 10 the spot on the railroad where
his body was found, and either he or
an accomplice hiding in the bushes
nearby shot him to death and then
robbed him.
Mr.. Guthrie is survived by sorrow
ing widow and one daughter, Mrs.
Lyles, both of Kendrick, and a few
other relatives and many friends, all
of whom are deeply grieved and in
censed over the terrible tragedy
which has cast such a gloom over
this ordinarily peaceable community.
The body of the deceased was pre-
pared for burial by McIver & Mac
Kay, undertakers, the funeral services
being held at Kendrick Tuesday morn
ing, after which the remains, accom-
pnid by the heartbrOken widow and
her son-in-law and daughter, Mr.. and
Mrs. Lyles, a number of the neigh
bors and several members of Ocala
lodge No. 10, Knights Of Phythias, OF
which order the deceased was a mem
ber, were taken to Windsor, near Ro-
chelle, and laid to rest in the family
burial ground BESIDE the body of a
daughter who preceded her father
TO the great beyond, the members of
of the Knights of Phythias having
charge OF the services at the grave,
they being Messrs. w. w. Stripping,
Jake Brown, VIII Rilea, NJ. D. Parker
and Mr. Holstein. There were many
beautiful floral designs placed on the
mound, underneath which all that is
mortal of this splendid citizen now
rests.

ARTISTS IN THE ROLE
OF HUSBANDS.

Continental Edition of the Lon
don Mail.)
Yonug women who are not at the
moment engaged tor love with-a
musician, or an actor, or a painter
does not apply to them. 1t does-or
at least it might.
/ know very well am talking about
because my own wife has been marri-
cd to an artist for close on ten years.
Unless you happen to be quite a
exceptional woman, married life with
an artist would not suit you at all.
Your friends would find him charm.
ing, no doubt and some of them would
please you now and then by telling
you what a wonderful man he was
and how proud Of him you must b<
and so on.
But you would find him-when the
first glamour wore off-a very great
nuisance indeed. A creature Of moods
of strange habits; selfish without
knewning that he was being so; sky
high about something or other ont
hour wallowing in the depths o.
gloom the next-a person, in shor
who should be permitted into human
society only when he can conscienti
ously send out from his work anc
hopes the signal of "All's we'll"
Artist are not really bad people. II
way they are good people-ont
might even say the best of people
But no woman I stand by that. Anc
my wife stands by it, too. In fact
she stands by it more than do.
The city man, the banker, th'
tradesman, the rate collector, and, IT
| short, the normal citizen-they art
all right as husbands. But the artist,
no!
You see, the artist plays at tn.
wrong time, and works at the wrong
time. He is worse when working
than when playing. The whole thing
is strain, and if you interfere with
him-as of course you will now anc
then-he will run shaking fingers
through his hair, if in possession o,
such and exclaim, "Good heavens
Can't you understand?"
And you cannot. You should moi
be expected to Why should you, wher
your husband would-one occasion
your husband would-on occasion
rather scribble, or declaim, or thumI
than eat?
What ! say is that it too much tt
expect Of a woman.
Artists should live in caves-alone
And if they must marry, and if GER
tain gentlewomen must marry then
then the gentlewomen should realize
that it is unsafe for them to visit
their husbands caves save by invi
tation.

"You will appreciate that our loca-
ton makes it harder for the people
here to realize their connection with
the rest of the lountry: Were sur
rounded by mountains on all sides
over which we must climb to reach
the outside world. The nearest
station Is four miles across Pine
mountain over a steep, rough, and
dangerous trail, and the nearest town
Of any size is some ten ON IL miles
farther. Most of the children come
from places even less accessible, and
it is therefore not surprising il to
most of them New York and Balti-
more, England and the Alps, are all
"out yonder" or "away off there
generally in the direction Of the near
est station, which happens to be
southwest of here. To be sure the
older children are somewhat more en-
lightened than this and those who
have been here for several years have
a fairly good theoretical knowledge
of the geography of the country and
even of their relation to the govern
ment as citizens Of the United States
But even so the rest of the country
hardly seems real to child whose ex-
perience has taught her that 80 miles
is good hard days trip.
"Our daily life is interesting. We
rise at $3.50 o'clock in the morning
that is to say, most of US do; the girls
who are working in the kitchen and
the girls and boys who have charge
of making the fires in the morning
have to get UP an hour earlier. Break
fast is at 6 and Immediately after
breakfast every child in the school sx-
cept those in the lower grades starts
work on his or her particular bit of
work about the place. The Oldest
girls and boys those in the eighth
grade, attend school from z to HAS
o'clock and do their manual work all
afternoon and for an hour after sup
per. The girls Of the next lowest
grades, up to the age of 16 years wori.
all morning and go to school in the
afternoon. Supper is at o'clock and
all the dishwashing and other tasks
are finished by o'clock. Then the
upper grade girls study until 8 and
go to bed. You see that there is
very little time or energy left for
anything extra.
| Fortunately there is no school on
Saturdays and the girls get through
their work about 3 o'clock so that we
get about two hours of scouting.
Everyone is eager for the time to
come Ghen the children will not work
so hard, but until we have few more
modern conveniences such as electril
light and hot water pipes and more
big boys and girls. to do the hardest
work, the burden on all can not be
lifted.
"This is the only school of any size
in these mountains for many miles
and as the population is scattered in
small clusters about the creeks, the
local council of scouts will probably
include all of the mountain district
about here.
