Indicted for Murder

1t was announced in this paper
a few weeks ago that Lloyd Nice
and Iva Clark of Washington coun-
ty, who had been living together.
were being held in Jail pending an
investigation into the death of the
1atter's seven months old daughter
Alice Clark. 1t was also stated that
it was later disclosed that the child 5
death came about by natural causes,
pneumonia being attributed. 1t was
further learned that the doctors
performing the autopsy, would not
agree that pneumoni4 was the di-
rect cause, and the matter was car
ried to the grand jury. AS a result
of investigation by the latter, Nice
was indicted for first degree murder.
The girl was not indicted and was
ordered released from jail. The in
dictment against Nice asserts that
he choked the child to death.
The girl, as was stated in our pre-
yious notice of the affair, was for
merly an inmate of the Morgan
county children's home.

Fines Drunken Driver

Sunday evening R. H. Lyon was
arrested on a drunkenness charge,
also for driving car while in an in
toxicated condition. Monday when
arraigned in Mayor Ralston's court.
he entered a plea of guilty, and was
fined S25 and costs on each charge,
and his auto license was also re-
voked for a period of three months.
Lyon was driving down Kennebec
hill Sunday evening in his new Ford,
and ran into the electric light pole
this side of the Stalker residence.
He broke the pole off, and it fell
back practically clearing the ma
chine. AS it happened, no one was
on the hill near him when the acci-

very serious results could hardly
have been averted. Later, parties
coming to the concert, found Lyon
sitting in his machine, asleep. The
car was badly damaged.
