We would like to exchange the latter for the former. Arid we desire
to call special attention to that adjective "good." It means that these
Umbrellas will shed rain, no matter how fierce the downpour; will last
for a long time; 'are sufficiently neat and attractive that no one need be
ashamed to carry one, and are In all ways much better than this price
usually buys. Surely you have use for such an umbrella.
By the way, we recover old umbrellas In satisfactory, fashion at
modest rates literally while you wait.

First Pronounced Su

to Be Murder
One Person Has Brought Sus

Court Offers
Reward
Tlio Marlon county court, at thf
roquott of Doputy District Attorney
John H. McNary, has offered a ro
ward of 300 for tho arrest and con
viction of tho murderer of L. B. Saun
ders, tho hop dealer, who was shot to
death In Butteville n short time ago,
and by this act tho court has taken
a Btop that will bo approved by ovory
law-abiding citizen of Marlon county,
who desires to bco Justlco ftono, and
tho guilty punished.
On tho morning of tho 19th of No
vember, on tho streots of tho little
town of Buttovllloy In tho northern
portion of this county, tho victim of
a tragedy was found lying dead, with
two pistols beside him. L. B. Saun
,anu amnn oi prominonco in tnat com
munity, wns tho man, nnd his taking
off was thon, and, is now, shrouded In
doep mystery a mystery that It Is
hopod may somo day bo explnlnod,
and which tho county court last Mon
day decided should he probed tb the
bottom.
The story of tho tragedy, so far as
known, is still fresh In the minds ot
tho roadors of Tho Journal, On tho
morning of Novombor 19th, Sounder's
body was found, nnd, in rosponso to a
roquost by tolephono, Coronor Clough
went to tho scone at onco, ompanollod
a jury, and hold tho necossary legal
inquest. At tho investigation it was
shown that fho deceased had on tho
previous day gono from IiIb homo with
considerable money, had spent somo
of this in paying bills, nnd had spent
tho ovonlng at Strain's saloon In
company with tho proprietor of that
placo and Whlttoy and McArthur, tho
last ono nnmod a rosldont of Ynmhlll
county, nnd tho other two citizens of
Butteville. According to tho tosU
mony of thoso throo mon, Saundors
had sovoral times during tho ovonlng
complnlnod of tho prosenco In tho
town of a mystorlous stranger, whom
ho feared. About half nn hour boforo
midnight Saunders loft tho saloon for
his homo, and a fow minutes lntor tha
throo mon nnmod loft also, and walked
up tho streot; Strain carrying a llghtod
lantorn. According to tholr testi
mony, whon approaching tho street
cornor, thoy heard a shot beyond an
lntorvonlng building, nnd, roachlng
tho cornor, thoy hoard a second sHot,
and saw tho flash of a pistol, and at
tho samo tlmo hoard the falling of a
body.
But this did not caueo them to In
vostlgnto, Strain, tho saloon .man,
stating ho bollovcd at tho tlmo that a
hold-up had occurred, and, having his
day's receipts on him, ho did not de
sire to mix up with hold-up artists,
and ho therefore wont homo. All
throo statod that no Investigation
was mado by thorn, although the two
alleged shots wore flrod with In 200
foot of tho cornor on which thoy stood,
and immediately In front of a house.
Whon tho Inquest was hold, It do
velopod that Saundors had boen shot
In the loft tomple, tho bullet pone
tratlng the brain, Tho face was not
powdor burned, and tho indications
woro that the shot hod boon flrod
from some distance. This was stated
by Dr. B. F. Glosy to bo tho caso, ho
testifying that tho shot had boen flrod
at a distance of from three to 12 feet,
Ho did not remove tho bullet, holding
that It was unnecessary. Tho verdict
of tho coroner's Jury was that tho man
had been killed by a shot fired front
a gun in tho hands of somo unknown
parties.
Later, aftor tho Inquest had boon
concluded, the physician and others
in that section pronounced the casd
one of suicide, and Sheriff Colbath,
who went on the ground tho day fol
lowing tho Inquest, also prououncod
it suicide, and tho matter was droppod.
Now tho relatives of the deceased, who
are satisfied that It Is not a caso ot
suicide, but murder most foul, have
started an Investigation, and placed
tho caso in the hands of somo ox pert
detectives, who are In hopes of soon
running down the guilt) parties, and
It was to assist In this that the county
court offered the reward.

GREAT
PANTHER
STORY
(Coqulllo City Bullotln.)
Wo learned recently that Mr. Bil
ling i, who lives, near Ash Swamp, In
Eden valloy, had qulto an exciting en
counter with a panther about four
weeks ago. '
It sooras that Mr. Billings hns a
ranch In Eden, and rnlsus cattlo and
some hogs. Panthora aro qulto nu
merous In that section, and aftor snow
had fallen tholr tracks wore to be seou
almost any morning around the barns.
From tho size of tho tracks Mr.
Billings thought ono of tho animals
must bo exceptionally largo, so he
thought ho would try to capture It.
Two good-sized stoel traps wero set
ono ovdnlng in a driveway between
some buildings, and during the even
ing a light snow covorod them from
sight.
In tho morning Mr. Billings went to
look for his traps and found thorn
gono. Ho put bis dogs on tho trail
and started out to locato tho gaino.
Tho trail led down along tho rlvor
whoro a stoop bank on tho mountain
side loft only a narrow path along
tho bluff into tho rlvor, which at that
point was cut down quite deep.
Mr. BIJltngs had' not gone far along
this path until ho hoard a noise abovo
him, and, looking up, saw tho panUior
crouching on tho high bank just about
to spring down upon him.
Ho flred at tho bruto as quickly as
posslblo, but it did not stop htm, and
tho noxt Instant Mr. Billings felt tho
sharp claws tearing his flesh as tho
panther alighted on his back and
shoulders.
The boast had two of its foot fast
ened In tho trap which undoubtodly
savod Mr. Billing's life. During Uio
scuffle both of tho combatants fell
ovor tho bluff Into the river, which
was running qulto high, and Mr. Bill
ings, aftor diving twice, managod to
break tho panthor's hold and swam to
tho ghoroj
The animal wont down tho stream
for a short distance and then was
drawn undor by an eddy and drowned.
Aftor tho freshet bad abated Mr.
Billings wont baok to see If ho could
find anything of his game and found
tho animal caught In tho branches
of a largo tree, which had fallen
across tho river.
Ho will havo tho panther skin
stuffed, as It is an unusually large
ono, measuring 9 feet 7 Inches.
