OVER SEAS SOLDIER IS
 RETURNED FOR BURIAL
Remains of Charles Wagon CT, Who Was Killed in
 France Brought Back

The remains of Charles Waggoner, a former Newark boy who was killed in France while in the service of Uncle Sam were brought back here Tuesday to be inferred in their final resting place near his old home.
 Waggoner met death while overseas in a train accident, while on his way to the battle front. All the details regard ing the accident were never learned.
 The body was received here Tuesday and taken to the home of the young mans sister, Mrs. Allen Estes, who resides east of Newark, and who requested that the gov ernment send him home.
 With the bringing back of the remains of this young man the pathos of war is once more brought to our door, and although three years since he fell the mem. ory of his deeds and the glory of his patriotism is as fresh on the minds of his friends as though it were but yesterday.
 The desire of his loved ones that his final resting place be on his native soil near his home where he spent many happy years has been realiz- ed, and this faithful soldier of Uncle Sam now sleeps in the friendly soil of America where the flag of freedom still waves as a symbolm of true patriotism, the cause in which he died.
 Burial was at Mt. Zion Wednesday afternoon, in the presence of a large number of friends of the deceased.

MOTHER AND HER
 DAUGHTER KILLED
Their Bodies Found at Old Sawmill Near NettletOn
 by Hunters

Jonesboro, July 20.-The most dastardly crime in the history of Craighead county was disclosed shortly after noon today when the decapi- tated bodies of two women, mother and daughter, were found at the rear of an old sawmill mile south of Net tleton, nine miles east of Jonesboro. The bodies were identified as Mrs. Amy h. gram, aged about 35, and her daughter, Miss Willie Cal Calhoun, aged about 16.
 The discovery was made by Frank Hough and Hailey Ward, who live near Kettle ton. They had started hunt ing. Passing the old mill there was a sickening odor. Investigation disclosed the two bodies. They were lying close together. The two heads, apparently severed with a knife, were found near by.
 A bullet wound was found in the girls neck. It is be- lieved she was the first victim of the murderer. The moth. CT apparently was stabbed tc death. Because of the fact that considerable of her hail had been pulled from hel head and that marks on the ground indicated that a struggle had taken place, off. cers believe she fought her assailant before he Wielded the fatal blow.
 Coroner o. c. Powell went to the scene as soon as he was notified, and immediately inn paneled a jury. The investi- gation was continued until tomorrow. A woman living in the Nettleton vicinity iden- tified the two bodies.
 It was brought out at the inquest that Mrs. Ingram and her daugher formerly lived in the vicinity of Net tleton, moving from there last March. No one was found today who had seen them since the day they re- moved from the community. It is not known where they went from Nettleton.
 A money order receipt was found in the pocket of Mrs. Ingram's dress. It was is- sued at Paragould on June 29. Thus far the officers have been unable to pick up a clue.
