FARMER IS WOUNDED
IN JAIL TRAGEDY
Eastland, July 23.—Deputy Sheriff
John Hennessee, 40, was killed, and
C. Q. Davis, 50, farmer living near
Ranger, was wounded, probably fatal-
ly, when each mistook the other’s
identity in the darkness in front of
the Eastland county jail early this
morning.
Officers at the jail had been “tipped
off" that an attempt would be made
during the night to release 10 Federal
prisoners and five county prisoners,
and -Hennessee believed Davis was a
member of the gang expected to
storm the jail, according to Deputy
Sheriff Solon Shepherd.
Davis thought Hennessee was a
highwayman attempting to hold him
up while he was waiting in front of
the jail, Shepherd said.
Davis is in a hospital here, where
physicians said they have little hope
that he will recover.
Davis had arrived here about mid-
night with a white man he had
caught in his watermelon patch on
his farm between here and Ranger,
and holding a pump shotgun on the
man, had taken him to the jail and
turned him over to Shepherd.
While Shepherd was taking the

prisoner to a cell in the jail, Davis
went to the railroad station to find
out when he could get a train back to
his home, Shepherd said. ' ■
Davis returned to the jail shortly
and shouted to Shepherd that it
would be about 2 a. m. before he
could return home. Shepherd told him
to wait in front of the jail and he
would join him and keep him company
until train time.
Mrs. Hennessee, who stayed on one
side of the jail with her husband,
heard the voices and could not under-
stand what was said. On nerves edge
in anticipation of the expected jail
break attempt, Mrs. Hennessee

awakened the deputy sheriff and told
him she had heard strange noises
outside the jail. .....
Hennessee took his pistol and made
his way to the front of the jail by a
side door.
Suddenly appearing around the cor-
ner, Hennessee saw Davis with shot-
gun in hand, and ordered him to throw
up his hands. Davis turned and saw
the figure in the darkness come
around the corner of the jail, and in
turn ordered Hennessee to “hands
up,” leveling the shotgun at him.
Both fired at the same time. Hen-
nessce fired once and Davis fired twice
only having two shells in his gun.
Shepherd said he ran to the front
of the jail and shouted to Davis.
“I’ve shot a man," Davis,returned,
according to Shepherd.
Shepherd went to the front of the
jail and saw Davis was bleeding
badly. In a few words, Davis told
him what had happened.
Shepherd examined the body on
the ground and said:
“Davis, you have killed John Hen-
nessee.”
“Good God! I wouldn’t have shot
John for anything,” Davis exclaimed,
according to Shepherd.
Davis sank to the ground,'uncon-
scious. Summoning aid, Shepherd Or-
dered both men looked after. Doctors
pronounced the deputy sheriff dead,
and Davis was taken to the hospital.

PROHIBITION CHIEFS
ASK EMPLOYERS TO
FOLLOW FORD S LEAD
New York, July 23.—In line with
the reported action of Henry Ford in
posting his factories with warning
that employes would summarily be
discharged if liquor is smelled on
their breath or if liquor is kept in
their homes,, clerks at prohibition
headquarters here today were busy
preparing letters to be sent to large
employers in New York and New Jer-
sey urging them to follow Ford’s ex-
ample.
K. Q. Merrick, chief enforcement
agent in New York, directed prepara-
tion of the letters, after reading a
copy of the, Ford order brought to
New York by Prohibition Agent Iz/.y
Einstein, who recently has been work-
ing in Detroit.
The t Ford order, according to the
copy, reads as follows:
“From this date on, dismissal with-
out opportunity for appeal, will be the
penalty imposed on any man found
to have the odor of beer, wine or
other liquor on his breath, or to have
intoxicants on his person or in his
house.
“The Eighteenth Amendment is
part of the fundamental law of this
country. It was meant to be en-
forced and so far as this organization
it concerned it is going to be enforced
to the letter.”
CURES FOR RATTLESNAKE BITE
J. II. Wilcox, an old timer, suggests
two remedies'both of them simple and
he claims highly efficient.
The first is mud, preferably clay
mud, applied to the wound will draw
out the poison. The other is half fill
a large mouth bottle with hot water
and after making two incisions cross-
ing each through the wound of the
bite, invert the bottle over the wound
excluding the air. Change the water
as it cools, as many times as neces-
sary until it becomes milky. The poi-
son will easily be seen i nthe water.—.
