Rich in years and in long

foundation of the world. With
the going home of Mrs. Stock-
ton our neighbor and our friend
one among the oldest women
of this section and one who
was truly a pioneer left the
shores of time leaving all the
weakness of body and pains
from which she no doubt suf-
fered and entered into the beau
tiful spirit land where neither
weakness nor pain is known.
How beautiful that after a long
life of service here when the
body is weak the eyes dim and
the footsteps feeble- that He
giveth His beloved faithful
sleep which pain cannot disturb
and rest that knows no ending

Belton July 20. Frank AI-
vey prominent fanner resid-
ing fourteen miles south of this
city was inj-tantly killed this
morning at 8 o'clock when he
received a knife wound which
pene rated his heart.
Immdiately following the fa-
tal stabbing Wilson and Ed
Landers brothers and nearest
neighbors to Alvey came to this
city and surrendered! to Sheriff
John R. Bigham and are being
held in the Bell county jail on
the charge of murder. Bond
for them has not been set.
Both Alvey and the Landers
brothers reside on the Doyle
Eastland farm east of Praifie
Dell. Trouble between them is
said to have originated over the
ownership of turkeys which
were raised by Alvey and Land-
ers and which frequently be- .
came mixed. t
The only eye witness to the
killing were the Landers and im-
mediately following the stab- f

aers pnorieci to Mrs. Alvey that
"Frank is layinc over there in '
the pasture with my' poekefc
knife stuck in him. Get a doc-
tor." Mrs. Landers said she rushed
in and asked what was the mat-
ter and Wilson Landers replied:
No one car. accuse you of steaK
mg and) get by with it."

and that Wilson Landers came
running to him and said "I
killed Frank Alvey. Get over
there. as quick as you can. T
am going to Belton."
Mrs. Ed Landers in a state-
ment made to District Attorney
Brewster said that they and the
Alveys had always been good-
friends and that so far as she
knew there had never been any
trouble between them.. The only
trouble that she knew about
was several years ago when her
husband and Bob Alvev
of Frank had had some'troubler!?V
about a cow gettinir in the Ail' ' .!
vey field. That trouble did nof
nave anything to do with i V
trouble this morning she said. '
Mrs. Landers also stated 'to
Mr. Brewster that yesterday
she drove a turkey hen and a
number of small turkeys to her '
house. The turkeys were hers
she said and had recently
hatched on land which Alvey ha(L
rented.
Ed Landers had gone to
drive his calves up this mornfng
when the trouble started Mrs.
Landers said. At about the same-
time Frank Alvey had seen hi
turkeys in the pasture which
Landers used and went to drive
his tulrkeys home Mrs. Alvey
paid. The two men met at abdut-
an equal distance between the
two homes. Words passed and
a fight followed.
Ed Landpns in a statement-
made said "that Frank Alvey
accused my wife of driving his
turkey and little turkeys home
yesterday. I called him a liar
and hit him. Alvey knocked me
down and I got up and ho
knocked me down again. Wil-
son came up and Frank struck
at him Wilson stabbed him in
the side."
The men are then said to
have rushed to their home tqld
