tigating Tragedy Near
Augusta
Augusta, July 1.—That the
killing of J. H. Van Gilder,
mussel shell fisherman, whose
decapitated body was found
floating in White river near
here Tuesday, ocurred in
White county was practically
established when officers
visited the dead man’s house
boat today. The boat was
tied to the west bank, which is
in White county. A partially
dug grave, in which two
blood-soaked coats were
found, an ax with the handle
covered with blood, and other
discoveries made convinced
the officers that the killing oc
curred on the west bank of the
river.
John E. Miller oi Searcy,
prosecuting attorney of the
First Judicial Circuit, which
includes White County,
today requested that H. Bonds,
Van Gilder’s partner and al
leged slayer, be transferred
from the Augusta jail to
Searcy. An officer from
White county is expected here
tonight to take charge of the
prisoner. Bonds was arrested
the day following the dis
covery of Van Gilder’s body.
Although he maintains his in
nocence, Bonds refuses to dis
cuss the brutal murder. He
has not eaten since officers
accompanied him to a local
undertaking establishment to
view Van Gilder’s body.—Ark

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
ANNOUNCEMENT!
MR. EDSEL B. FORD, PRESIDENT OF THE FORD MOTOR
COMPANY, GIVES OUT THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT:
“Another reduction has been made in the list price of
all types of Ford cars and the Ford truck to take effect
immediately. The list prices, F. O. B. Detroit, are now
as follows:
TOURING CAR .$415.00
L RUNABOUT . 370.00
COUPE . 695.00
f; SEDAN . 760.00
e CHASIS . 345.00
: TRUCK-CHASSIS . 495.00
| TRACTOR . 625.00
“The big reductions last fall were made in anticipation
of low material costs which we are now getting the
benefit of, and this fact together with increased manu
facturing efficiency and the unprecedented demand for
Ford cars, particularly during the past three months
permitting maximum production, have made another
price reduction possible immemdiately.
“Ford business for April and May 1921 was greater by
56,633 cars and trucks than for the same two months in
1920; in fact, the demand has been even greater than
the supply, so that our output has been limited, not by
unfilled orders but by manufacturing facilities.
“During May we produced 101,424 Ford cars and trucks
for sale in the United States alone—the biggest month in
the history of our company—and our factories and
assembly plants are now working on a 4,000 car daily
schedule for June.
“The Fordson tractor is still being sold at less than the
cost to produce on account of the recent big price reduc
tions, and it is impossible, therfore, to make any future
cut in the price of the tractor.”
OKfAOHI e^\UllUW//l£SXOil
i^an you anoru 10 go wunoui a car any longer wnen
Fords are selling at these new low prices? There is no reason now

terested. Just ’phone us or drop us a card.
