BLAME FOR DEATH in OF TRAMP PLACED - ON RACING DRIVER
Coroner's Jury Hears Testi- mony Mechanic Was Speed- ing; Pauper's Grave Yawns For Victim
A CORONER'S Jury yesterday after- Doon blamed V. L. Rice, a me- cbanic, with the death of a middle- aged and unidentified man Friday night. When the court house closed yesterday afternoon, no charges had been filed against Rice by the county attorney's office.
The body of the victim, mangled and unclaimed. lies at Starne mor- tuary. Description of the victim bes been broadcasted to no avail.
His Identity-his life, perhaps -- will Aiways be a mystery. All that is known of him is that he apparently wu a tramp. This ' was deducted from his worn wearing apparti -. crude sack of rage ' And provisions which be carried with him when be was struck to death by a speeding motor car.
1 PHYSIQUE HINTS AT RING
+
His muscular body hints he was once a pugilist. A broken nose up- holds the speculation.
Few have viewed the body. At- tendants sald ' at Starne mortuary last night that it probably would be buried in the potter field.
A half dozen witnesses yesterday testified before the coroner's jury, which was summoned by Jewell Windle, Greene county coroner. After the jury had heard the evidence they returned & verdict that Rice was to blame for the man's death.
+ | DRIVING RECKLESSLY, CLAIM -
The witnesses testified that Rice
was driving in a reckless manner and at considerable speed. The Jury heard Tony Oliver, detective. tell that Rice was intoxicated when he was brought to the police station by Windle, who arrested him on an In- vestigation charge after the tragedy
Nat Benton, assistant prosecuting attorney. attended only a portion of the hearing. but left before it was over and before the verdict had been returned.
Lake Gibson, a fellow employe of Rice, testified that Rice was of good character, bad an excellent reputa- tion, and, was considered reliable.

'MY HOME TOWN' Backward Glimpses By Spring- fieldians to Places They've Loved and Bild Cherish
By CELIA RAY
M. T. FULLINGTON, general chairman of the Frisco system, division No. 32, the Order of Rail- road Telegraph- ers, claims an : "old home coun- ! ty" Instead of an old home town. If he had to designate one town that would be difficult. for there are three in Webster county that have very definite claim upon his affections.
Mr. Fullington was born on a farm near Sey- Fullington mour, the town where his father i now' lives. He lived two years, when
he was 7 or 8 years of age, at Dun- can. And he attended high school and . learned his profession at Marshfield.
"I remember when I lived at Dun- ean we didn't have any school closer than three miles." sald Mr. Fulling - ton. "Each morning Iwalked to the little log school with my teacher. Ernest Landers, who now lives at Rock Bridge, Mo.
"We walked fast, too. and always made the three-mile walk in 30 mln- utes. I think that is when I learned to like fast walking and to this day people who are with me complain that I walk too fast.
"I learned telegraphy at the rail- road station in Marshfield. C. M Walker. who now is working for the Santa Fe at Amboy, Cal., was agent there.
"The two telegraphers were G E Wise, now telegrapher In the super- intendent of terminals office at Springfield, and W. B. Musgrave, railroad agent at Strafford. The three of them taught me telegraphy I began work at Marshfield Septem- ber 30, 1901."

'MY HOME TOWN'
Backward Glimpses By Spring- ffeldians to Places They've Loved and Still Cherish
By CELIA RAY
HILLSBORO, ILL., is the old home town of F. M. McDavid, Spring- field attorney, a trustee of the Mis- souri University and former state senator. Mr. McDavid spent his youth on a farm six and one half miles from Hillsboro. This was the same farm where his father aiso Was born and where Mr. McDavid's grandfather and McDavid grandmother set- tled when they came from Ten- nessoc after first having left Vir- ginla to start westward as the spirit of youth led them in those days.
"The farm was entered by my grandfather, William McDavid, in 1818," said Mr. McDavid. "The story' Is that he and my grand- mother, & young couple then, passed splendid land near St. Louis search- ing for water. They came upon a deer trail, followed it down the hill to a large spring and there found the land they entered as a home- stead."
Mr. McDavid returns once each year. usually In August, to visit his old home. He and his brothers and sisters still own the farm. The old spring which endeared the land to his grandfather in 1818 still gushės from the hillside. The old swim- ming hole in McDavid's branch. about 200 yards from the farm home. still sparkles clear and cool- but Mr. McDavid is quite certain it is not nearly so large as when he was a boy. He wonders also. he says. why Main street at Hillsboro is only
about a fourth the length the re- members it from his youth. Then too the court house in his old home town turns out on his yearly visits there now to be like many other court houses, but during his high school days in Hillsboro he knew it as a magnificent and compelling edifice
The little rural school, one-fourth mile from his old home and known as McDavid's point, still stands and the Springfield attorney finds pleas- ure in seeing it again upon his visits there.
Mr. McDavid has been in Spring- field since 1889 but he never has forgotten his friends and relatives in the old home town, nor lost his in- terest in the place which holds so much interest in the pioneer his- tory of his family.
