Seymour, ex., July 24.—Farley P.
Sayers threatened to kill Capi Burk
Burnett In Fort Worth during the Fat
Stock Show In March, 1912, according
to the first testimony introduced 4t»
the defense in Captain Burnett’s trial
for killing Sayers. Witnesses told of
the threat and former Mayor Davis
told of detailing Detectives Snow and
Speight to find Sayers and disarm
him. Snow testified they hunted for
Sayers from 9 a. in. to 1 p. m. and
then found he had left town.
Threats as Far Back as 1008.
Attorney W. M. CooSlbs, npw of
Dallas, and formerly of Benjamin, tes-
tified that in 1908 Sayers asked him
vhow he could kill Burnett and escape
conviction and that he declined to ad-
vise him. In March, 1912, he said,
Burnett and his attorneys were using
Coombs’ office and were in a back
room in consultation when Sayers
came in the front office. Coombs said
he advised him to go away and that
Sayers again threatened to kill Bur-
nett. He said he had not told Bur-
nett of the 1908 threat but told him of
the 1912 threat the next morning. On
cross-examination, he said he told of
that threat and not the other because
In the meantime Sayers had killed
his brother and before he did hot
think he was so intent upon it. J.
H. Anderton, former deputy sheriff at
Spur, said that a short time after
Sayers had killed his brother he came
to Spur and that he advised him to
get out of that trouble and keep out,
and that Sayers had told him he
wasn’t out of trouble, that Burk Bur-
nett was monkeying with him and
that he was going to kill Burnett be-
fore he quit. Anderson said he met
.Sayers at the
tried bo gel him to go home, but Say-
ers said there was a dam--he
was going to kill before he went home.
He did not then say whom.
Others Heard Threats.
Lig Davis of Anson testified to the
threat being made in front of the
Metropolitan hotel during the Fat
Stock show. He bold Tom Meacham,
Tom Burnetb and Captain Burnebt.
W. A. Newman also testified Sayers
made the threat. Whitington said
Newman told him and he told Bur-
nett. W. R. Deering, special officer
in plain clothes during the Fat Stock
show, told of hearing a man make the
threat, saying he ought to get the ——
- the first time he met him. He
told Tom Burnett.
Many of the witnesses testified they
knew Sayers’ reputation and believed
he was a man who would carry out
such a threat.
The cross-examination was limited
in most cases to asking the friend-
ship between the witnesses and de-
fendant. Deering was asked if he ar-
rested Sayers for abusive language
and said he did not. Coombs was ask-
ed if he had not been an attorney for
Sayers and if he was not a witness
for Burnett in the Red Mitchell cattle
suit. He said he had represented Say-
ers twice and was a witness in the
case mentioned.

for more than two weeks with brain
congestion and the latter for five
weeks with stomach trouble, both
men having been entirely unable for

had reached the stage that demanded

Last Tuesday a party of the neigh-

at the farms of Ady and Hendrix and
worked out their entire crops. Mr.
Hendrix has been living in the Willow

short time, but has found that he was
among men with big hearts and
Christian spirits. The neighborliness
of the Willow Creek people is deeply
appreciated by the recipients of the
lavors. Life is thus made all the more
worth living when it is illuminated by
such nobility. These acts are common

New Magazines and Periodicals.
The public library table iu the Her-

the general public, has been cleaned
off and all the trash and torn papers
and magazines removed. In the stead
there has been placed a big lot of cur-
rent magazines and periodicals con-
tributed by a number of citizens, and
these magazines are for the free use
of the public. The public is invited to
come in at any time and take then
away, especially residents out in the
county. The impression that some
have formed that this is a circulating
library in the sense that the papers
and magazines are to be returned, is
wrong. W'hat has been Intended is
that after reading them the person
getting the magazine might pass them
on to some one else to enjoy. But
don't bring them back to the fierrtld.
Keep them going as long as they last.
