was no novelty to him
That is the picture Of Frank

as he arrived at the home port
This, you would say. was

The worried look and frowns that
cover his silver matched brow
when a penalty gave the Rangers
a chance to tie the score and then
his unhappiness when the New

was in the cash register and the

haired widow of DR.. Floyd Byrd
whom she is charged with Staying
with a gun last week, was releas-
ed the same day on a bond Of $4,000
This highly unusual procedure in

have been lenient; three promin-
ent and powerful lawyers appear
ed in her behalf, Edward A. Sim

Harold E. Bledsoe; and there were
special circumstances surrounding
her case.
Rumor has it that the dispute
which led to Mrs. Byrd shooting
her husband arose over a young
white girl who used to live in the
house as a servant and with whom
DR.. Byrd is said to have become
infatuated. The doctor Lost his
