Willie Myers, % years old, of Girls
field, was removed from the Crisfield
Lookup" last Sunday and placed
in the Somerset County Jail where he
is awaiting trial on charge of muir
dering James E. Cox, also of Girls
field.
Police Chief Willard Laird said
Myers, who was a prisoner in the

through a foot square hole in the
top of a cell partition to reach the
elderly man who occupied an adjoin-
ing cell.
Myers was found in the cell with
the body of Cox shortly after Cox

ton or change in direction unmarked
because a chief value of the diagrams
is the fact that a motorist can de-
pend upon them to give advance
warning of every change in the road

Although the indicators are most
striking when they shine at night.
they are plainly seen in daytime and
serve the same function then.

weeks in advance of Peel. When Peel
arrived. Bull had gone to examine
some mines on Indian creek. Return
ing soon after he gave such favorable
account of the properties that Peel
went there at once He returned in a
week thoroughly disguised and very
angry at Bull. whom he accused Of
misrepresentation and falsehood. At a
meeting of the men in Hurley g.
ChaSes saloon they clashed and Peel
started to draw his pistol, the butt of
which was covered with notches.
I'm not heeled,' said Bull.
Go heel yourself" said Peel, slap
ping Bull in the face.
Bull started. saying as he went,
Peel: I'll come back. sure"
When you come" replied Peel,
come fighting"
Bull armed himself. Returning to
the saloon, he met Peel coming out
Bull shot Peel three times before he
could draw his revolver Each shot took
effect, one in the neck. one in the face
and one in the breast. Peel fell and
died without speaking. It was the gen
eral opinion that he had been the
victim OF unfair play. Bull was tried
and his conviction on a charge Of muir
DER failed by disagreement Of the Jury.
which stood nine for acquittal and
three for conviction He left the coun-
try soon after.

NOTED PISTOLER
SLAIN AT HELENA
LANGFORD PEEL MET HIS FINISH
IN HURLEY AND CHASE'S
SALOON
He Is Buried in Old Cemetery Under
Stone Slab Erected by Anonymous
Friend; Peel Was Not Always Gun
fighter.

The old cemetery at Helena con-
tainS many graves in which are
buried characters of interest to
students of Montana history. Be-
meath mounds almost obliterated
by time and the action of the ele-
ments are laid at rest men with
strange histories. One grave there
recalls to the few remaining pio-
neers of those days the career of
Langford Peel, the noted Nevada
gun fighter, who died with his
boots on one day in 1867 after a
life filled with thrills.
The plain slab over his remains con-
tains the following inscription, which
today is hardly legible: Sacred to the
memory of Langford Peel, born in
Liverpool; Died July %, 1867. Aged sc
Vengeance Is Mine, Saith the Lord
I Know That My Redeemer Liveth
Erected by a Friend"
The friend who erected the stone
above Peels grave added the biblical
quotations in the belief first, that
Peel was killed unfairly, and that the
Lord would avenge his death; second
that the man was living who would
redeem Peel's name from whatever
obloquy might attach to it because OF
his having died with his boots on. He
felt that the two scriptural quotations
adequately expressed what he had in
mind.
Story Of Peel
Peel was not always a bad man by
reputation and character, and even
after he began to be known as a gun
fighter Of note, he was given credi,
even by his enemies for being as scru-
pulous in living up to a certain code
Of honor in his affairs as he was
fearless and reckless.

Simple Rites Are Held
For Chamberlain al
Westminster Abbey
Cabinet Members and
Royal Representatives
At 40-Minute Service
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE ashes Of
former Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain were buried today beneath
the gray stone floor of the nave OF
Westminster Abbey, resting place
OF many of Britain's historic figures.
Representatives of the royal fam
lily and members of the British cab
met attended the ceremony, the
Anglican church burial service.
The 40-minute memorial rites were
carried out in an atmosphere OF
peace and serenity despite the per-
sistent air raids which Mr.. Cham
berlain had been unable to prevent.
At the close of the ceremony, Mrs.
Chamberlain, heavily veiled. knelt
on the floor, took chrysanthemum
petals from her handbag and drop
ped them into the 2foot square,
purple-lined crypt.
Prime Minister Churchill, clad in
a long black coat with an astrakahn
collar, stood intent among his cab
lnet ministers throughout the service
at the graveside.
The Duke of Gloucester, brother
of King George VI, represented the
royal family. Mrs. Chamberlain
curtsied when he shook hands and
murmured his sympathies. The
Archbishop of Canterbury offered
the final prayer.
Many present were in uniform.
The order of the burial service,
printed in blue ink, had with 1t an
AFRAID warning, headed in flaming
red:
Should 1t be necessary to take
cover during the service"
Then it gave directions by which
various parts of the congregation
would be conducted to the safety
of the abbey's deeper sanctums.
Mr.. Chamberlains ashes were
placed at the south side of the
abbey beside the plain gray stone
marking the burial place of An
drew Bonar Law, Prime Minister
of two decades ago.
Attendants said the burial serv-
Ice was one of the most simple
ever held in the abbey. The public
was excluded, and only a relatively
small congregation was admitted
to the cold abbey by cards marked
"Secret."

Egyptian Premier Sobry Posho
Dies Reading Throne Speech
Spoke Same Words He
Used When Taking
Office Lost June
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CAIRO, Egypt, Nov. 14-Egyptian
Premier Hassan Sabry Pasha col
lapsed and died today as he was
reading King Farouk's speech from
the throne at the opening session
of Parliament.
The Premier was carried from
the chamber and the reading of the
speech was continued by the presi-
dent of the Senate.
Strangely, the words of the speech
were much the same as those Saby
Pasha used in his first statement
as new head of the government last
June.
Then he said: Egypt, who is
anxious to maintain her integrity
and independence is equally anxious
to fulfill her obligations toward her
great ally Britain and to carry out
her alliance of friendship in the
letter and spirit"
Today King Farouk said his coun-
try had executed the treaty of al
lance and friendship with Britain
with complete sincerity, both in let
ter and spirit
Egypt, he said, is jealous of her
sovereignty and independence and is
striving to conserve her security
and maintain her integrity
The Premier undertook the task
of organizing a coalition cabinet last
summer after Italy entered the war.

of Communications and Minister of

His cabinet, formed June %. con-

In August there was split in the

the Wafdists, upon entry into the
war on the side of Britain, How
ever, the split was healed.
