A Later Report.
From the Texas & Pacific local
freight train crew that arrived in
Weatherford about noon, a different
story from the above was given out.
It was stated the women were killed
with a pinch bar, such as is used in
drawing nails from heavy timbers;
that their heads were crush,ed and not
severed from the body. It was also
stated that St. Clair had other chil-
dren and he sent them away Friday.
He is foreman of the coal chute crew
working at Mingus instead of at Thur-
her. No arrests have been made, but
suspicion rests on the husband him-
self.

Spewing Circle met Friday afternoon
at Die home of .Mrs. W. L. Nelms, amid
flood of bright sunshine, the first
for many days. Nearly all the mem-
bers were present, save one or two
who were detained by illness, and thi^
group of sedate matrons proved to be
as lun-loving as their more youthful
sisters. Each one was armed with
thimble, needle crochet hook or tatting
bobbin, (all save one who was armed
only with a lead pencil) and soon the
subdued murmur of polite conversa-

intricacies of cross stitch and “miJe-
