Acting on his own motion,
District Judge J. C- Warren in
court at Quitman Monday trans
ferred the case against Bill
Jones to Tyler, Smith County,
for trial.
Jones, who is twenty-three
years of age, is charged with
the murder of his seventeen
year-old wife, near their home
in Yantis. He was arrested on
December 20, when it is charg-
ed with a hammer he crushed
the skull of his young wife in j
two places, from which portions 1
of the young woman's brain
poured onto the floor of the
little home. Mrs. Jones linger-
ed between life and death for
several days. Finally however,*;
sue recovered sufficiently to
walk around. She never re-,
gained the sense of speech.
She died two weeks ago, Jones j
was then reindicted for murder I
Shortly after his arrest on
the assault charge, the defend-
ant was lodged *n the Wood;
County jail, but Sheriff Jolly/
immediately took him to the
Smith County jail for safe
keeping. A few minutes after
(he sheriff started to Tyler a j
crowd of men appeared at the !
Quitman jail and demanded
the prisoner. The men were told .
he was not there- They demand j
ed admission. This too was de-
nied but a committee was al-!
lowed to search the jail. They
failed to find Jones and went
away as quietly as they came.
James Thomas, seventy four
years of age, died last Friday
at the home of a son on the
Jones road Southwest of Mine-
ola about two miles. Deceased
had been in feeble health for
some weeks. He is survived
by six children, three boys and
three girls. The funeral ser-

Heavy rains, which have fall-

About thirty years ago Dick
Terrell and wife came to Hen-
derson County from Eldorado,
Arkansas, and settled on a lit-
tle farm of 79 1-2 a;cres, three
and one half miles south of
Chandler. There have been 23
Terrell children, (Mrs. Tereli
having had one son by a former
marriage), twenty of whom
are boys- Of this number five
died in infancy, the rest being
practically well, after a siege of
the flu. Mrs. Terrell, when
asked which she had rather
raise replied, ''boys, for girls
are equal to boys this day and
time."
The names of some of the
the children are as follows:
Mittie, Tom, Sam. Miner John,
Joe, Dick, Eugene, Alice, Steve,
Clyde, W. O., Caddie, Dave-
Eunice, Willie, Horace, Jeff,
(who got his name from Bud
Fisher's "Jeff"), and baby
Grace. The eldest is now reach-
ing the age of forty and the
baby is two weeks old. Mr. Ter *
rell stated that it was a big job
to raise so large a family, and
that he had had many ups and
downs, but is now pinning his
hopes on the Ben Grewe well
No. 2, which is being drilled
near his farm.
