MURDER PLOTTERS
SOAK BALLOON OF
STUNT MAN IN ACID
OKLAHOMA CITY, May 6.—Charg-
es of attempting to murder C. C. Bon-
ette, 57, balloonist, by soaking his bal-
loon and parachute with strong acid,
were filed late Monday against Louis
Lapoint, 21, Bonette’s adopted son, and
B. E. Fairbairn, 50.
'The informations were filed with
.Justice of the Peace J. E. Deupree.
County officers were combing the
•city and vicinity in search of the two
men whose alleged plot to kill the
aerial stunter was narrowly averted
when a rain storm Saturday after-
noon made Bonnette’s scheduled as-
cension at a local amusement park
impossible.
Bonette told officers that Fairbairn
joined him and his adopted son at
Corpus Christi, Texas, a mouth ago.
NAME IS REMOVED
FROM DEATH LIST
HUNTSVILLE, May 6.—Percy
Howard’s name was removed Monday
by a governor’s brief announcement
from the list of those who will die,
and in the dim light of a death cell
he stood erect to thank a Providence
on whose clemency he had replied al-
ways.
Warden E. F. Harrell of the state
penitentiary, strolled into Howard’s
small chamber Monday morning in the
manner of a man bent only on passing
the time of day.
Quotes Scripture.

He keeps -his mind open on every
question until the evidence is all in.
He listens to the man who knows.
I-Ie never laughs at new ideas.
He cross-examines his day dreams.
He knows his strong point and
plays it.
He knows, the value of good habits
and how to form them.
He knows when not to think and
when to call in the expert to think
for him.
You can’t sell him magic.
He lives the forward-looking, out-

cause he is a just and honest man.
I do not believe,” he said, looking up
from the cot on which he lay, What
the governor will let anybody die if
he has any doubt about his guilt.”
“Percy,” the warden said again, “I
have .been advised that the governor
has .commuted your sentence to life
imprisonment.”
The man on the cot sprang up and.
turning his face toward the light,
smiled as any man long in the pres-
ence of death: would smile when that
presence had retreated.
He quoted a verse of Scripture then.
Those who heafd it could not repeat it
exactly, but, as the warden said, it
meant “Everything good comes to
those who love the Lord.” .
Keeps Up Faith.
“I never believed I’d go to the chair.
I never believed it,” the prisoner mur-
mured.

tion in the slaying of N. V. Nixon, an

The guests were received upon their

W. H. Moses, who in turn were greet-

F. Mace and escorted to the rear of
the reception hall where Miss Gladys
Harkey presided over the punch bowl.
Pink and green were the colors used

DUEL VICTIM IS UNCLAIMED
SAN ANTONIO, May 5.—The al-
leged member of a counterfeit ring,
killed Saturday night ■ by Edward J.
Tyrell, federal secret service man, in
a running gun battle, remains un-
identified.
The car in which the dead man’s
companion escaped was captured.
Tyrell was knocked down by one of
the two men when he demanded to see
a $20 bill they had attempted to give
a groceryma(n. Tyrell fired twice as
the man ran, both shots taking- effect.
Two shots were fired at the federal
officer by the man who escaped in the
car.
Twenty counterfeit bills were found
on the dead man, officers said.
You should sell your roosters now and keep them
3-way from your flocks and produce infertile eggs.
I he present low price of eggs is largely due lo the
large quantities of inferior eggs that are brought to
market. It costs no more to produce quality eggs
and if you will do that it will be a wbnderfal help
to the market price.
WE WANT YOUR ROOSTERS
Bring in all roosters that you do not intend to
keep for breeding purposes. Infertile eggs will keep
longer and with the warm weather you should use
every precaution to increase the quality of your
eggs.

detestable pests that love the out of
