MURDER FEARED IN
DEATH OF DOCTOR.
Inquiry Now PIanned-Money
Carried by Or. hurry Re-
ported Missing

Decatur, October 1T.-Authorities
are expected soon to announce the
result of an inquiry into the death Of
DIR. H. w. Murray, Morgan county
physician, whose body was found be-
side tracks of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, near Nashville
several days ago. It was said at the
time that 1t was believed DR.. Muir
lay fell from a train while en- route
to Nashville. Later developments
caused authorities to begin an in
CURRY.
Huntsville, October 317.-(Special1
A special from Decatur says there Is
a growing belief, based on two cir
cumstances in connection with the
death of Dr VI. w. Murray of Nor
gan county, whose body was found
beside the Louisville and Nashville
railroad a short distance from Nash
willie several days ago, indicating
that he was murdered. Besides the
bruises on the body sustained in the
fall from the fast train, there was
a wound on the head strongly in
dicating that he had been hit with
brass knucks or some like instru-
ment.
Dir. Murray is known to have had
several hundred dollars in his purse
and this money was not found on
his body Suspicion has been directed
toward one person and an arrest in
connection with the case is antici-
pated at an early date.

Woman Wants Redress
For Loss of Cow Some
Ones Hog Slaughtered

Seeking redress from the city en-
account of the killing of her COW by
a vicious hog, supposed to belong to
the city welfare department, Mrs.
j. NJ Sides of Germania station APP
peared before the commission yes-
terday and presented an eloquent
plea for damages.
Commissioners Know nothing about
hogs alleged to be owned by the city.
President McLendon asserted that the
city had never been engaged in the
hog raising business, and that SO long
as he was in his present official
capacity it would not do So.
None of this dissertation on the
purely technical question as 10
whether the city owned the hogs or
not, however, was aiding Mrs. Sides,
who urged that prior to the recent
tragedy she had two cows, one of
which provided milk and butter for
the household and the other milk and
butter for the market, whence was
secured wherewithal for the other
family expenses. 1t appears that the
surviving COW cannot perform both
these functions. and Mrs. Sides seeks
compensation for her loss.
The matter was referred to Com
missioner Mrs. Echols, who will as
certain whether or not the hog WIS
owned by her department or any in
iividual in her department.

Cool Weather Adds
To Radio Enjoyment

With the approach of cooler wealth.
err radio sets in Birmingham are
source of more and more pleasure and
interest to their owners because the
results are so much more satisfac-
tory. Some OF the programs now be-
ing picked up here are very interest
ing and frequently there is bit Of
sentiment that is appealing
For instance last night a speaker at
the station of the Sweeney school in
Kansas City announced that he was
having one of the greatest pleasures
of his life because he was speaking
to his mother in Rock Hill. S. c., and
that he was now going to sing her
a song. And then he sang for her
sitting in her home 600 miles away.
Another interesting item which
came through the air last night was
from the station of the Star-Telegram
In Fort Worth where a speaker an
nounced that it had just been report
ed to him that listener in Spring
field, Mo-. who had as loud speaker
had connected it up with telephones
all along the Frisco railroad and that
the concert had been enjoyed by
telephone.
The Constitution in Atlanta and the
Courier Journal in Louisville were
also enjoyed in Birmingham last
night. But perhaps the favorite long
distance radio music heard most often
in Birmingham is that of the Detroit
News because this station has such
fine orchestra and the music given
is of such superior quality. Other
stations most frequently heard here
in the evening these days are the
Post Dispatch at st. Louis and the
Palmer Chiropractic school at Daven-
-,ort La
