Mr.. Davis Improving


Il Clifton Davis, the wounded VIC
tim of the Lower Big Island shoot
ing affray, was reported to be in
a very favorable condition by his
attending physician at the Para
gould sanitarium. The patient ate
a light lunch at noon n his
wounds apparently were not caus-
ing him much worry or suffering.
He was in a laxative mood this
morning, appearing confident that
he would recover. However, the in
(iured man has refrained from dis
scussing details of the trouble that
resulted in the shooting when Lu-
sther Phillips, his brother-in7law
was shot dead by Ivy Mutt.
= 1T was reported upon the streets
this morning that Ivy Mutt is well
remembered by many of the young
men who served in the recent war
1t is said tho young man was as
signed to the service of sharp-shoot-
ing and bore the reputation OF
being one of the most accurate shots
with a rifle in the army.
