but police still were without clew to
the whereabouts of his alleged killer

eral store at Newland Saturday aft

bitter feeling between the families
which arose when Frank Patrick
began counting Mrs. Grover McClurg
widow of three months and sister
of Archie Patrick.
Archie is alleged to have met
Frank Saturday afternoon and en-
gagged in quarrel. Although there
were no witnesses, Sheriff Rouse be-
lieved today the quarrel ended in
the fatal Shooting.
The father of the hunted man
promised Monday to produce his son
but failed TO do so, and it was be-
neved today Archie had fled from
