CARD GAME HAS
FATAL ENDING

WAVERLY, O., June 26. - An argument over a card game was believed today to have resulted in the slaying of Jacob Darst, 53, tennant of the farm of George Nye, one mile west of here.

Darst, his wife, his wife's brother, Herbert Lawson, 35, and Frank Reed, 30, were playing cards, when Mrs. Darst said she was tired and was going to bed. Darst, said to have been drinking, purportedly knocked his wife down and her brother, Lawson, struck Darst.

A neighbor, hearing the noise, sent Darst to the hospital at Chillicothe, where he died.

Lawson, after telling neighbors he was going to surrender, disappeared, but was found by Sheriff John Parker on Long Fork Creek, near Jasper, O. Charges of manslaughter were expected to be filed today.
