According to a statement made , by J.
F. Sh'adle, a brother-in-law of the dead

separated about two years, but were
not divorced. He 'had been working In
the oil field near Fellows, CaL. while
his wife had been employed as a house
keeper in various homes in this county.
She had been at the Brown home about
three months'.
LOCATES WIFE
The driver of a Salem tazlcah, who
drove West out from Salem Monday
morning, said 'he had performed that
service for him on three successive days.
West first hred the car Saturday, in
forming the driver that he wanted to
BO to Dallas in search of his wife.
They drove to Dallas and on to Perry
dale, north of here, but Mrs. West was
not located. The search was resumed
Sunday, with the same result, according
to the taxi man. Monday morning they
, frist drove to Perryd ale, where West
secured Information as to where his
wife was living.
Returning o Dallas, they drove direct
to the Brown home, in the north part
of town. Arriving, there, West told the
driver, to wait for, htm and entered the
house without knocking.
I- IRES FATAL SHOT
Immediately two shots were fired.
West reappeared on the front porch and
drank something from a bottle. He then
walked over to the waiting car, removed
his handbag, paid the driver and dis-
missed him. The driver lost no time
in getting to the courthouse ' and in
forming Sheriff Orr that "something
- was wrong over there."
When Sheriff Orr arrived at' the
Brown home he found the woman dead
in the kitchen, with two bullet wounds
in her body and head. West was sitting
in chair in another room, still con
scious and able to tell what had hap-
pened. ' He Is said to have admitted to
the officer that he bad shot his wife
And then drank poison. A physician was
called and administered antidotes.
Coroner Jl. L. Chapman took charge
of the body.
The dead woman Is survived by a
daughter. Maggie Crocker, 14, a child

McAdoo Eents Home
In Los Angeles; To
Spend Winter There
Los Angeles. Dec. 22. (I. N. S.) It
was announced today t,hat former Secre
tary of the Treasury W. O. McAdoo has
' rented the Beverly Hills residence of
Kdward L. Doheny Jr. for the winter
season and will arrive here from New
York January 3 with his family.. Mr.
McAdoo expects to return Kast about
February 1, but his wife and two chil
dren will remain until spring.
Washington, Dec. 22. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU, OP THE JOUR
NAL.) First crack out of the box,
In the new session of congress the
Republicans ot 4he senate have
taken up the revival of a part of the
machinery of war legislation In the
form of directing the war finance
corporation to resume the work It
abandoned in May, 1920.
The ! senate Republicans set solemnly
about this task without once cracking a
smile, although during the campaign
they set up a great cry for "repeal of
all the war emergency legislation which
grants unusual and dangerous powers
to administrative officials of the gov
ernment. ,
Senator Harding made til is a leading
feature in many Of his speeches, and
Republican speakers generally followed
suit. As a matter of current humor the
Quick about-face has few parallels. . In
little more than a month after the cam
paign i ended the denouncers of this
wicked wartime legislation- were exert
ing themselves to revive part of it, al
though the administration thinks it un
wise to do so.
"In the house, by way of doing-something
that would reflect their cam
paign 4 talk, the Republican leaders
brought in a new war legislation re
pealer, but leaving loopholes for escape
in the case of things that it may not
seem advisable to. repeal. While the
repealer was being brought upon the
floor of the house the senate was still
discussing the "reviver," and the humor
of the situation was brought out In
strong relief. : ..
Heavy casualties have marked the
savage guerrilla warfare between
British troops and Black 'and Tan
policemen on one side and roving
bands of well armed Sinn Feiners on
5 the other side in the . mountains of
Southwestern Ireland.
According to information from Tlp
perary today, from 15 or 29- persons
were killed in a violent engagement that
covered considerable territory in that
country. -
Fifteen of the republicans were re
ported to have been killed. The casual
ties of the crown forces were not of
ficially announced at the time, this dis
patch was - written, but it was known
that Sergeant. Walsh of the Royal Irish
Constabulary was shot and killed from
ambush while leading reinforcements to
', Mullinahone.
! Sir Nevil MacReady, commander of
the 'military forces, is combing the Tip-
perary mountains In an effort to dis
arm all Sinn Feiners in that isolated
community. The mountain region of
Tipperary might be compared with the
wilds" of West Virginia, Kentucky, or
Tennessee. The republican bands op
erating in that region have secret bases.
of supplies and headquarters in the
mountain fastnesses known only to
themselves. As they have been life
long residents of the district they know
every nook and cranny of the mountains.
It is easy for them to ambush detach
ments of soldiers or police in the lone
ly mountain roads and then disappear,
suddenly reappearing in some distant
part of the country to renew -heir at
tacks. . . .
