A Farmer Was Arrested in Connectin With the Death of Mrs. Shirley

Trenton, Mo., Sept 21- Bunk Davidson, a farmer about 35 years old, is being held by Harrison County authorities near Melbourne in connection with the murder of Mrs. Edward Shirley of the same neighborhood. No formal charges have been preferred against Davidson. He is married and has two children.

Mrs. Shirley was murdered Sunday in her own home after having been attacked. When her husband and little son returned from a day's trip they found the doors locked. A 2-year-old daughter, who had remained with the mother, was in the house unhurt. The little girl told them that a "big fat man had fought with mamma and that mamma is asleep now. (very faded and blurry.)

Blood hounds were brought to the scene, but they accomplished nothing.
