It extend- ed three days and nights and through the counties of Linn, Sulli- vanand Adair. On the morning of the fourth day the men were finally surrounded in the northern part of Adair county and surrendered.

Ozark, Mo., May 22.—To-day Sheriff John A. May, of Stone coun- ty, brought to the Ozark jail for safe keeping Fletcher Kirby of Car- roll county, Arkansas, who has made a full confession of the murder of an old school teacher named Rogers, whose mangled and decomposed re- mains were found by two men near the border of the state about a month ago. Kirby was arrested in Delta county, Texas, last Saturday and brought to Berryville, Ark., where he made his confession. Rogers was an_ itinerant school teacher who taught a term tast fall in the neighborhood where young Kirby lived. At the close of the school the old man had about $100. Kirby in his confession says that the murder was planned by another man, whose name he gave to Sheriff May. The old teacher was persuad- ed to go with Kirby to Stone county | to lock for a location for a little | store which Rogers wanted to estab- lish. When the two men reached Cow creek, a wild and lonely region | of the Missouri border, Kirby per- suaded Rogers to leave the main road and take a dim path leading through a deep hollow. Here Kirby shot Rogers twice with a pistol then took his money and watch. After robbing his victim. Kirby says he thought he would kill himself, but the dying man begged him to live and try to get forgivness for the | crime. fession in Kirby's statement is that he asked the dying man to pray for him and that the murderer and his victim did actually clasp hands in that lonely hollow and mutually im- plored heaven for pardon. Kirby says he divided the money with his | And yet you are not sick enough to | consult a doctor, or you refrain from yourself and frinds—we will tell you 006 yi this pe medicine is in cases| ike your. | Ex-governor “For aker has gone into the railroad business.
