Miller, a special Texas ranger, was released Sunday on $1,500 bond to, await the action of a grand jury: at the next term of 38th District Court. 4 The shooting occurred at 4:30 p.

m. Saturday on the Albert Real ranch, about 12 miles south of Kerrville. Circumstances of the. case as related by Miller to officers' when he voluntarily surrendered were that he heard two shots in the Real pasture and began an in-1 vestigation. Later he saw Pearson carrying two wild turkey gobblers tlnd commanded him to halt.

Instead of complying with the officer's command, Pearson is al-' leged to have raised his rifle and fired at Miller, the bullet clipping a twig off a tree near his head. Ac-' cording to Miller's statement, he then fired from a distance of about 100 yards, and the bullet entered i Pearson's left shoulder and ranged downward to the spine. Following the shooting Miller went to a ranch home about two miles away to phone for a doctor and notify Sheriff Frank Moore. When the physician arrived at the Pearson was dead. Miller for the past several months has been employed by the Kerr County Ranchmen's Protective Association, an organization formed to combat mounting losses of sheep, goats and cattle from theft.

He had been camped in the Albert Real pasture for several days when he heard the shots and an investigation Saturday afternoon. District Judge Lee Wallace said Tuesday that it was improbable the grand jury would be reconvened to investigate the slaying case. The grand jury for the current term of court was dismissed Tuesday of last week after being in session only days. Funeral services for Pearson were held Monday afternoon with Rev. II.

Del Rio Judge To Hear Cases Here Next Week hint I Suspended in Amo Accident Above is shown Postmaster-General James A. Farley, often referred to as the spokesman of the Roosevelt administration.

Farley is now on a tour of Texas cities. You can't capture Jim Farley in an adjective, nor in a book of'them. If you say he is vital, the man is far more vital than the word. If you say he is Vigorous, the sound is a whisper beside the roaring thunder of the man himself. If you say he is active, the man has been back and forth across the country and has clinched a Presidency almost before your lips can form the word.

If you say that he is a auper-this or a super-that, the man does something so utterly amazing that you are ashamed of your understatement. Jim Farley is everything words and prases and sentences can say of always something more. Jim Farley was born 45 years ago at Grassy Point, New York. By the time he was 18 he had completed his formal high school and then commercial school education and was ready for life. Four years later he became town clerk at Stony Milford Mosty, 15-months-old son of Mr.

Like the wind that sweeps over the Texas prairies, the clean wind that has polished his twinkling blue eyes until they have the glint of steel, his name swept over the Nation last year to capture the imaginations of a hundred million Americans in whom he had recalled the hardihood of their pioneer forebears. Here was a man who typified the American spirit, the American adventurer as no other. Texas could not selfishly keep him to herself, and so she gave to the Nation her most distinguished native son, second to none in the land, John Nance Garner.
