SWINDLE
70-year-old man who was under
inditement for murder of his father,
was in jail here today and may face
the fate of his victim—that of indict-
ment and a court trial.
The youth, Alfred Knowles of
court Pleasanton, surrendered to the Sher-

shooting of J. A. Clopton, real estate
and nursery operator of that city.
Witnesses said the youth and elder-

The city council of Mt. Pleasant,'
Texas, is considerably perturbed ov- j
er the increasing fire record of that j
city, and the resultant high insurance •
rates. They have complied with ev- !
ery state requirement in regard to
fire insurance regulations, but the
large number of fires during the year
kept their record such as no reduc-
tion in rates could be expected. So
now the city officials have appointed
a secret committee which will make i
an investigation of the cause of ev- j
ery fire, and where there is any evi-1
dence of arson whatever, the case j
will be investigated to the limit. In I
