DRAGGED FROM AUTO Trail of Blood Denotes Path From Scene of Death to Grave. Riddled with bullets, with the skull battered, and disfigured in a manner almost beyond identification, the body of Lonnie Lawrence, 25, Negro taxicab driver, murdered last Monday night, was found at 10 o'clock this morning, buried in a newly plowed field about one hundred yards from the Noble and Metropolis landing road. The grave was discovered by blood tracks on fields and fences from the high Poit bridge, where the shooting occured, about three-quarters of a mile away. With the exception of a Negro woman, Sylvia Christian, who is being held in connection in the case, no arrests have been made up to the present time by the authorities. The woman is in the city jail since Saturday, admits that she went away with the man on Tuesday who is being sought as the murderer. She left wit him after the murder occurred, it is believed, and returned from Illinois on Thursday. Crossed On Ferry The man, who is being sought as the murderer, crossed by the first ferry boat over into Illinois at Metropolis landing on Tuesday morning, making the trip in a Mitchell touring car. The car was found at DuMaine, Ith., but the driver made his escape from that place. The police know the name of the suspected murderer. The car in which he made his escape to the Illinois side is being held at Marion by authorities, it is stated. The body of Lawrence was found by J. R Cook, a Negro, member of searching parties which have been scouring all that section of the county since the murder took place, in the fields of George Mosely. The body had been dragged from the point on the main road, where the shooting is believed to have taken place. Traces o'blood were discovered on the bar-w-re fence surrounding the Mosely field. The grave was found by flecks of hard yellow clay unlike the soft mire of the ground which had just been plowed on Monday afternoon. The grave had been dug two feet deep and just wide enough to receive the body of the man. The field had been harrowed Tuesday. The body was badly disfigured with a bullet hole through the fore head and the skull crushed. Decomposition had set in. A sister and a brother, Thomas A. Lawrence, identified the body. The shoes which had not been removed served as a means of identification. The body was removed to the Gaines Underdtaking company in this city, and the coroner's inquest will be held at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning from that place. Had Money On Person. Robbery is believed to be a motive of the crime since Lawrence is reported to have had several hundred dollars on his person at the time of the murder. Evidence reveals that the Negro suspected of the murder was taken to a point on the Noble and Metropolis landing road Monday night. It is believed by the police and sheriff department that Lawrence was to have made a trip out after the man, probably with a companion, though the fact has not been definitely established. Spade Was Borrowed. According to new evidence received by the police the driver of the "murder car" purchased five gallons of gasoline at Cecil and returned to town. The evidence brought out that Monday night about 11 o'clock a Negro man went to the residence of Frank Leasor, near the High Point school house, and asked to borrow a spade. He deposited $5 for its safe return. The spade was returned about 2 o'clock Tuesday morning. Stains of dried blood and a bit of hair were found on the edge of the spade. The car in which the suspected murderer made his escape across the river early Tuesday morning stood at a point near the High Point bridge from 11 o'clock at night until about 3 o'clock the next morning, reports show. The Mitchell touring car, used as a taxicab by Lawrence, in which the suspected murderer is believed to have cross d into Illinois at Metropolis landing, was found by autorities at Dewmaine, but the driver of the car got away from that place. The car bearing the Kentucky state license tag is being held at Maricn, Ill. Thomas A. Lawrence, editor of the Light House, and brother of the murdered man, has offered a $100 reward for the capture of the murderer. Hundreds of people visited the scene of the murder yesterday. Investigation of the entire section of the High Point Bridge was made by members of the sheriff's department yesterday and this morning—Paducah Sun. WARRANT FOR NEGRO SLAYER EXPECTED NOW Authorities Believed to Have Net Out For Murderer. County officials admitted this afternoon that they had written a warrant for the arrest of Willie Martin, Negro, charging him with the murder of Lonnie Lawrence, taxicab driver, whose body was found northeast of the city yesterday morning. Hold Inquest Today. That Loanie Lawrence, whose murdered body was found yesterday morning buried in a shallow grave a short distance off the Noble and Metropolis road where the crime is believed to have been committed last Monday night, came to his death by a pit-tol shot in the hands of parties unknown was the verdict of the coroner's jury at the inquest held this morning at the Gaines Undertaking parlors. Examination of the body revealed that Lawrence had been shot through the left temple, the bullet penetrating the brain. Evidence of witnesses this morning brought out little more than had already been used as material in seeking clues for the arrest of the murderer. Mearly two hundred persons attended the inquest this morning. A Negro woman, Sylvia Christian arrested in connection with the case, and held in the city jail, was released last night. She admitted that she went away with the man who is sought as the murderer on Tuesday morning, going over into Illinois. It was found that she had no further knowledge of the case Second Negro Murder in Week, Woman Is Beaten to Death by Bare Fists Minnie Williams, a Negress about 26 years old, died at noon today at Riverside hospital from injuries brutally inflicted last night in a house in an alley near Sixth and Burnett streets. George Derry, a Negro oil driver, is in the city jail charged with murder. The woman's face was beaten almost to a pulp and when the police entered the house at 11 o'clock today her face was unrecognizable. She was lying on the floor unconscious, and blood was flowing from her mouth and nose. The officers believe the murderer used only his bare fists, as no weapon was found and there were no cuts or scars to indicate that any sharp or blunt instrument had been employed. Patrolman Mike Dowell, who found the woman and who arrested Derry shortly after, stated that evidence will show that she had been severely by the Negro on several occasions. Jealousy is said to have enraged Derry. Last week he is said to have beaten the woman unmercifully. Neighbors heard screams and noise in the house last night, and saw Derry drag the woman into her own house by the hair. Inside the house he is thought to have beaten her face with his fists until she fell insensible. She was taken to Riverside hospital in the police ambulance, but she lived only 30 minutes. Dr. Edward Adams city physician, said the woman's face had been battered to a pulp, and death resulted from shock and loss of blood. Derry is about 40 years old. He has been driving a wagon for a refining company in this city. P. ducah Sun. Household Philosophy "Strange what a difference there is said the household philosopher, "be ween things we need and things we want. There are many things we need in the house, but never can find the money for, while somehow we can always find the money for things we want that we personally fancy."

The burning of the property of negroes, killing and maiming for life men women and children, in Tulsa, Oklahoma last week by the so-called caucasion race has put a blot on the name of the so-called civilized americans that the savage would hang his head in shame should such thing take place among that class.

The evening of the day he received it Emmons put it on. He didn't like the colors and replaced it. As usual, he visited Miss Timmoni that evening, according to a Selby ville (Del.) dispatch to the Philadelphia phia Ledger. It was a nice summer night. The moon revealed that he was not wearing love's token and Miss Timmons demanded the reason. "It's too loud," replied the youth. "Do you mean you will never wear it? Then you don't love me," sobbed the girl, and she went into the house. That apparently was the end of the romance. Emmons went to Portland Ore., and prospered. As the owner of a big department store in the far Northwestern city, he returned to Bishopville last Christmas for a visit. It was inevitable that he should meet his former sweetheart in the village. Soon each learned that the old love would not die; that each had considered the other the only mate and that neither had married. Of course, Emmons proposed. Miss Timmons did not refuse him, but she bought a tie as nearly like the one that started all the trouble as she could find. Then, when he wore it without flinching, she coyly murmured "yes." And so they were married the other evening. PREPARING TURF FOR FUEL Now Method, Said to Have Originated In Russia, May Result in Relieving Shortage. A new method of drying turf to relieve the serious fuel shortage in Finland has been put in operation in various Scandinavian countries. The new method was invented by engineers working under orders from the Russian soviet government, to find a more labor-saving method of preparing turf as fuel for the great central power station near Moscow, the process being made known in Finland through an escaping engineer. The fundamental principle of the process is quite simple. The raw turf in the swamp, by a powerful jet of water under a pressure of 20 atmospheres, is freed from all old roots and changed to thin mud. This is pumped out on a drying field and spread in layers. When sufficiently dry it is cut into bricks of uniform size by means of a tractor. The turf pump is constructed like an ordinary water turbine, is reversible with aid of electric motor, is equipped with a cutting apparatus which completes the work of the water jet, and can be raised or lowered as the surface of the mud varies. The entire equipment is mounted on a car which can be pushed forward or backward on rails along the line of work.—Scientific American. FASCINATION IN AIR FLIGHT Various Reasons Advanced Why People Will Pay High Price for Short Trip Through Space. Why do people fly? Would you care for a spin in the air so much as to spend $15 for a 20 minutes' flight? If so, what is your motive? Interviewing a half dozen commercial aviators along Miami's water front on this subject brought the following facts to light: About 60 per cent of all passengers carried on the short 20 minutes' sightseeing flights are women. According to aviators the types to whom scraping the clouds appeals are: The wealthy man—the business man. He wants to see what flying is like. He sees the future of commercial aviation. The short flight offers also a novel method of entertaining friends. The "sport." He files for the excitement of the thing. He usually insists on stunt flying. Then, too, an occasional flight provides a way of demonstrating to his friends his sporting self. The average man. He finds in the short flight at $15 for himself or $25 for himself and a companion a method of realizing the thrill and pleasures of the air. He is presented with an opportunity of realizing an overwhelming desire at a minimum expense. The large percentage of women passengers is considered something of a slap at those reveling in the thought that women were too timid to fly. According to pilots, in most cases women accept an offer of an aerial spin on the direct dare of their masculine companion.—Miami (Fla.) Herald. TRAINING WAIFS OF CAIRO Government of Egyptian City Haa Instituted School Where Stray Boys Will Be Educated. It looks as if the problem of the waifs and strays of Cairo was going to receive at last serious attention. After much insistence on the part of some public-spirited officials a special school for boys of this class has been opened in the environs of Cairo, where they will be looked after and trained by the government without their having committed some crime to admit them into the reformatory, previously the only institution of the kind Nothing so far has been done for the girl children, though another home is promised for this purpose. It is therefore satisfactory to hear of the formation of an organization called the "Brotherhood Federation," ostensibly nonsectarian and international, with the object of looking after and improving the lot of the child wafs generally. A meeting recently held in support of this movement was given much prominence in the local English papers, but in spite of its intimate bearing on a purely Egyptian problem none of the Arabic papers appears to have given the matter any publicity—Christian Science Monitor. ```markdown ``` Mme.

Understand that if you are mentally unified with sickness, old age and death, no amount of desire or affirmation can make you well, young, or long lived. To be healthy, you must be mentally in unity with health; to remain young, you must be mentally one with youth, and to live long, you must be mentally unified with life, says Wallace D. Wattles in the Nantius. It never does take a man long to explain when he is right or thinks he is right. It is when a man goes wrong that great long explanations are needed.
