SHERMAN, November 20 –(AP)- Officers of Denison and Sherman sought two men suspects today in connection with the slaying of Miss Antonina Bachman, 49, native of Odessa, Russia, by robbers at her farm home four miles northwest of Pottsboro Saturday.
The police department here said murder charges and robbery with firearm charges had been fired against the men.
Belief of the men that money was secreted in the home occupied by the woman and her sister, Leopoldine, was thought to have led to the robbery.

DENISON, NOVEMBER 20 –(AP)- A man suspected of fatally wounding Miss Antonina Bachman, 49, at her home near Pottsboro, during what officers believed to have been a robbery, was hunted in the Red River Valley near Denison today.
A sister of the slain woman, Miss Leopoldine Bachman, told officers she heard a shot while she was in a field Saturday night. She said she rushed into the house and found Antonina lying on a bed wounded. The house, she said, appeared to have been ransacked, Antonina died later in the Sherman Hospital.
Funeral services for the slain woman were planned here today. She and her sister had come from Odessa, Russia, with their parents 40 years ago, settling first in Minnesota and coming to Grayson County 25 years ago. Since the death of their parents, the sisters, unmarried, had lived much by themselves.

SURVIVING SISTER TAKES MONEY THAT CAUSED MURDER FROM HIDING
(special to The News)
Denison, Texas, Nov. 30 - As final mass was said Monday morning for Miss Antonia Bachman, 49, in St. Patrick's Church here, officers of Grayson County headed by Sheriff J. Benton Davis and assisted by many citizens were combing the wooded districts of the Red River Valley in search of two men against whom Sheriff Davis has filed murder charges. Antonia and Miss Lepoldine Bachman, Russians, farmed and prospered on their estate twelve miles northwest of Denison.
Miss Antonia was murdered Saturday evening when a charge from a twelve gauge shotgun tore away part of her face. The home was ransacked but no money was found. The sister was plowing in a field when she heard the shot. Running to the home she called neighbors and officers who began the search as an ambulance from Denison hurried the wounded woman to a Sherman hospital where she died later.
Money the victim and her sister had concealed in a trunk, behind a picture and in a clock was blamed for the murder. The money, undisturbed and covered with dust, was taken from its hiding place by the younger sister after protecting officers arrived.
Sheriff Davis filed charges of murder and attempted robbery Monday afternoon against Bill Buchanan and John McCoy, offering $50 reward for their arrest. Buchanan worked on farms in the Georgetown neighborhood where the murder took place, leaving several weeks ago for Oklahoma, returning with McCoy last week.
The pair slept in a barn near the women's home and Saturday morning borrowed a twelve-gauge single-barrel shotgun from a neighbor saying they were going duck hunting. They did not come back and the gun and bed clothing they borrowed have not been returned.
It was generally understood the women kept money in the house as they paid cash for their work. Buchanan had worked the farm for them during threshing time. Their parents died on the farm five years ago, leaving the sisters a comfortable estate.
