That there has been wild extrava-

from the following statement taken

aspires to be the governor Of Ne

great sums Of money in comparison

EVIDENCE IS
DAMAGING To
The ACCUSED
COrOner's Inquest Over Remains
OF Williams Is Held Today
Before Justice Cuddy

The coroners jury that invest
gated the death of the man found
dead tthe old Frazier well returned
verdict at o'clock this afternoon
that the dead mans name was Will
.iams, that he came to his death as
a result of being beaten on the head
with a blunt instrument, and that
the names of the parties responsible
were unknown,
A coroners inquisition is today
listening to evidence that will tend
to determine who is respons be for
the death Of Wallace Williams, whose
supposed body was discovered Sun
day afternoon buried beneath IS
inches of sand near the old Frazier
wells six and one-half miles north
of Tonopah. Several witnesses had
been examined up to the time OF the
Bonanza going to press, the principal
one of which was James Zimpatti,
who related of Mrs. Dion having
induced him to drive her to the wells
about Sept. II, where. he stated, she
fired two shots at him from a re-
volver. Later he stated she went
to the spot where the body was found
and upon her reutrn carried watch,
which she gave to him in payment
for his services. He said he sold
the watch later, but that the woman
had filed off some initials before he
would accept it.
The last seen of G. Dillon, who Is
suspected Of beng connected with
the case, was about Sept. 10, when
he announced his intention of going
to Bishop, his wife following two
days later. She is believed 10 have
gone to Nina and there met her
husband. 1t developed that the WON
an often boasted of having been a
booze runner along the Mexican line
and told people she wore mems
trousers and had engaged in revolver
fights with revenue officers.
The trouble seems to have orig
mated over a partnership in the moon
shine business between the billions
and Williams. Williams operated the
still and received IS a gallon for the
Illicit liquor, while the billions acted
as distr .buting agents. There is said
to have been many a wild night at
the Globe roUming house, where the
billions resided and in which Mexi-
cans participated.
Mrs. Dillon is said to be much
older than her husband and exercised
complete control over him People
residing in the vicinity of the Globe
rooming house were under the i'm.
preston that she was the mans
mother, the disparity in their ages
being so evident.
The jury was composed Of the
following: AL Modem, A. F. Witt
man, Pete Halloran, C. H. Goodwin,
G. w. Grigsby and F. E. Wilson.
They were sworn in Monday after
noon and after viewing the remains
of Wilson an adjournment was taken
until 10 o'clock this morning.

STILL INTERESTED IN
 FAULKNER'S PROGRESS

Editor Log Cabin Democrat.
 It has been several years since I made my home in your county, but in all my wanderings 1 think of you people and good old Faulkner ire quently. Needless to say anything that concerns Faulkner county, con cerns me considerably, for l spent right at 17 years of the best part of my life in the south-central part, all the way from Conway east to the county line. Many have been the pleasant memories of the many good people it was my happy privilege to be associated with while there.
 have noticed with deep interest through the state press of the many progressive movements that have been carried through to a successful finish in your county, notably along the lines of education, agriculture and highway improvement. Ever since it has been my privilege to get ac- quainted with the good people and the county along the Conway and Beebe road from the east county line to several miles west of Vilonia, l have thought that it surely is the garden spot of our great state. Since being around in several different parts of the state, l have no reason to change my opinion.
 Possibly I had better not write more now. At later date I may write something of my experience as rural mail carrier in the land of rice growing, dairying and haymak- ing
 l should be very much pleased to hear from any of my old friends in Faulkner, and it will be a pleasure indeed to reply to any letter l may receive.
 Please give me credit for the en- closed amount on subscription to your valuable paper, the Weekly Log Cabin Democrat.
