case late Friday. The extent OF
the defense to be offered by At
torney c. B. Smith for Poe was
unknown, but it cannot be fin
ished during the halliday session
of court Saturday.
Calling witnesses for the pro-
secution in rapid succession, Heald
and French attempted to demon
strate to the jury Thursday after
noon and Friday morning that
Poe had not molested other hun
ters who camped or hunted on
property where. johnson and his
party were camped during a duck
hunting expedition. Poe's fatal
argument with Johnson came when
Poe assertedly objected to tres
passing by the Johnson party on
property over which he claimed
to have supervision.
The testimony OF other hunters
who were not in the Johnson par
ty followed additional reviews
Thursday afternoon of the death
scene, when Poe sent shotgun
charge into JohnSon'S body, then
was subdued and bound by other
members of the Johnson party
pending arrival of Officers.
Cross examination of the wit
neSses brought fresh indications
that Poe, when called to the wit
ness stand by his attorney, will
testify that he feared his life was
in danger, and that he thought
Johnson was about to attack him.
Witnesses called to the stand
Thursday afternoon were William
Snyder, Lulu b. Snyder and Lu-
cille M. Colley, all witnesses to the
Shooting.
L. A. Simms and l.. P. Simms,
placed on the stand Friday morn
ing, testified that they had list
a collapsible boat-the boat for
which Poe contends he was search
ing when he went to the johnson
camp. L. A. Simms, however.
struck a severe blow at another
of Poes defense contentious wher
he testified that Poe told him
the former owner of the property
on which the johnson party was
hunting had turned the property

REPoR4ER AMsaFNs
Says

Somebody's Wrong
The individual who contends
there is no such thing as courage
in the lower orders has another
thought waiting for him. 1t took
courage for Fred Baughman TO
predict the snow OF two years ago,
in which he was borne out, but
imagine the courage it took for
a little bird to do what he did
Friday morning. He was red
breasted Robin-and he made his
first appearance of the year In
the yard of r. p. Moore, daintily
dipping up a drink from the tau-
Get which had been left dripping.
And Robin Red Breast always
predicts Spring.
They're Not All Wild
In these days when the younger
strata of the younger generation
is frowned upon for its wild
but mostly silly-ways, the act OF
one girl of high school age de-
serves notice. Walking along the
sidewalk in the residential dis
trict she saw faucet overflowing
a yard where Shut-in lives.
Thoughtfully. she stopped, turned
off the water, and went on, still
unknown to the woman she had
helped.
Colder Than Hot
It's a queer quirk of the cold
weather that several solar heat
ers in the valley "froze up and
busted Thursday night or Fri
day morning, among them those
OF Addie Turbett and Evalyn B.
WcSterfield.
Here, OF All Places
Mrs. J. S. Jones was excited
about 7 a. m. Friday about an
icicle l6 inches long and one inch
through that hung to the hydrant
which she had turned on at a
slow drip the night before to avoid
freeze-but up at the county
court house they went her one
better. They had an icicle two feet
nigh, and it grew up, not down.
Evidently dripping water froze on
the ground first, then kept climb
ing in icy form.
