BILL DICKEY FOUND
DEAD BY ROAD
Missing From Home For a
Week-His Body Found
Along Timber Trail Over A
Mile South of Davis Store.

Bill Dickey well to do farmer Of
the Pine Valley neighborhood was
found dead early Saturday morning.
Mr.. Dickey left his home Monday
morning, alone, stating that he would
not be gone long. He did not return
that night, and as he had been in the
habit of staying away from home
several days at a time, the family
felt no uneas;ness over his prolonged
absence.
Early Saturday Mrs. Lawrence
Dover who lives with her husband on
the Cofer place little over a mile
south of Mr.. j. S. Davis store at Pine
Valley, started to walk to the store
to purchase some articles. When
walking along trail or old deserted
timber road about a mile from the
store, she discovered the dead body
of Bill lying along the side Of the
pathway. Greatly frightened she re-
turned and told Mr.. Elliston Cofer
of her CHASTITY find. Mr.. Cofer went
to the body and then went immediate
ly to Mr.. Davis store where he
telephoned to Sheriff w. N. Frost
the news of finding the dead man.
Sheriff Frost accompanied by ]. w.
Young, physician and several other
gentlemen, Saturday afternoon went
to the body and held an inquest.
The examination of the body show
ed that the man had been dead for
some time probably since Monday
night. 1t showed it had rained on
the body since death. There were no
marks of any kind that indicated
violence or injury, but that death
came from natural causes. A search
of the pockets disclosed, some tobacco,
pocket knife, two fiat wallets containE
nothing but papers, and purse con-
tanning $8.10 in currency and silver.
the body was then removed to his
home about / 1-2 miles from Pine
Valley. The funeral was held Sunday
afternoon at Old Liberty Church in
Calhoun county where burial was
made.
The deceased was about 81 years
old. He was born just over the line
| in Calhoun county not far from where
he lived at Pine Valley, and where he
lived practically all his life. He
owned considerable farm lands and
stock, and was reputed to have con-
siderable cash and securities.
He is survived by a widow, three
sons, and three daughters.

RUSSELL'S CHARGES
BEING INVESTIGATED
Chief Executive Again Declines
to Appear Before the Probe
House Committee to Back
Charges Against Insurers
Contained in Special Mes
sage; Robertson Substitutes.

Governor Russell refused to appear
before the special House committee
yesterday to attempt substantiation
of the allegations against the fire
insurance agents contained in his
special message to the legislature of
February %. His nominee, Stokes v.
Robertson. state revenue agent, was
called in and in two hours and a half
of sworn testimony failed to present
any shred of direct evidence that any
of the executives charges were true.
E. P. Becker of Brookhaven, Sec
retary of the Mississippi Association
of Insurance Agents, and George
Wilson, of Greenwood, president Of
the Mississippi Fire Insurance COM
pany, agreed in testimony that there
was no truth in assertions that fire
insurance agents had used any undue
pressure or influence whatever in
seeking to obtain passage of legisla-
ton ''high,y satisfactory" to the "out-
lawed" fire insurance compan'es. and
that no officials Of the domestic fire
organization had been "forced" into
subscribing to the support of any pro-
pesed bill pending or to pend before
the Mississippi law-making bodies.
Bob Wilkerson, of Vicksburg-the
''wild eyed speaker" Of the governors
message-declared deliberately under
oath that every single allegation OF
the chief executives, reflecting upon
the character and integrity Of the
members Of the organization Of local
insurance agents, was absolutely
false" Relative to the governors
assertion that the agents or their
tools had sought to "sand-bag" the
officers of the Mississippi Fire Insur-
sace Company and coerce them into
endorsing the insurance rating bill,
endorsing the insurance rating bill
Mr.. Wi.kerson declared with vigor
but without visible excitement:
''If the governor would make that
statement to me personally, ! would
say to him that he was liar; to you
gentlemen, i say that it is untrue"
It begins to look like Gov.
Russell's charges were made
rather as a bluff. He is daily losing
the confidence of his former friends
and associates.

CLAIMS HENRY STILL
OWES STATE $4,000
Revenue Agent Files Suit for
Amount.

JACKSON, Miss, March Sin the
suit filed yesterday by Stokes v. Rob-
ertson, state revenue agent, against
I. M. Henry, insurance commissioner,
the bill of complaint claims that Mr..
Henry still owes the state of Miss;s
sippi approximately $4,000 on ac-
count of premium taxes due and pay
abe by insurance companies, which
he collected and failed to turn over
to the state treasurer.
In his statement with the revenue
agent, Mr.. Henry paid the latter
sum approximately 5000, which he
admitted had not been turned into the
treasury for the account of collections
dating back over three years The
balance claimed by the revenue agent
| is on amounts in dispute between the
auditors Of the office of the revenue
agent and auditors of the insurance
commissioner.
Mr.. Henry claims that be has al
ready paid in some $4,000 of this
balance, that he has the remainder
ready to turn over, but that it was
collected since the revenue agent filed
his claim. It is Of course, understood
that the money is due and is payable
into the state treasury. This sum
amounts to about $1,000. 1t will be
paid in either by the insurance COM
missioner or by the revenue agent
and the only question arising is
whether the revenue agent will receive
his fee for the collection or whether
the fund will go into the treasury
without a fee.
Besides he suit filed yesterday by
the revenue agent for some $4,000
the revenue agent has fled still
| further claim for approximately o.
900. which will come up for adjust
ment under the statutory limit of 80
days.
The suit of the revenue agent filed
yesterday was the result of the stat
utory notice of 80 days which the
statute requires him to give before
he can file suit.
In referring to the filing of the suit
Commissioner Henry said:
81 am glad that the suit has been
filed. I feel that the courts will give
me justice, something have been un-
able to get from the state revenue
agent"
