DREW HIS GUN.
Is What s. T. Pittman Did to Miss
Cyndia Sheriff..
He Was Arrested and Escaped
BaFefoO.ei.
Special to the PRESS

Special to the PRESS
ZALMA, FEB. 29.-S. T. Pittman
is very badly wanted by Constable
Erich Wolpers at this place just
now. And in fact he is badly
wanted by several people if pop
ular demonstration and talk count
for anything. The constable had
him, but, with his shoes in his hand,
he made heroic leap through a
window, and stole away in the soft
and Silly night.
Pittman is married man, and
has two married children, but that
did not prevent him from getting
gay and silly, He was arrested
last Wednesday, charged with dis
turbing the peace and doing some
other things. While he was being
guarded at the home of Mr.. Will
liams Thursday night he took his
shoes in his hand, jumped from
window and made away in his bare
feet. He has not been heard from
since, though the officers have
searched for him diligently. 1t is
said that many. talked strongly of
lynching him if he could be found,
but your correspondent does not
vouch for this.
The principal trouble, as the sto-
ry is told, is about this way: Some
time ago, it is not definitely stated
when, Pittmah made improper ad-
vances to Miss Cyndia Shirrell, a
very estimable young lady in this
neig ghborhood. He drew a pistol
on her in his effort to enforce his
request. He also threatened to
kill the young lady if she ever told
the matter. 1t was not known un-
til last Tuesday, and Pittman was
arrested Wednesday, and was
awaiting trial when he, escaped.
Pittman is about 40 or As years of
age, and has a family.

FREDERICKTowN, Feb. 26.-
Fredericktown is making strong
effort to secure Mayield-Smith
academy and the Pennington
Baptist college combined at this
place. The town offers s25,OO0
building and a ten acre campus.
A public meeting was held at
the court house last Saturday
night, with the object of securing
a cooperation of Southeast Miss
ouri Baptists in establishing a
school here. The secretary Of the
meeting was instructed to CORES
pond with the trustees Of Farm
ington and Mayfield-Smith acat
emy asking what terms would be
required to effect consolidation %
the two schools at this place.
Our people mean business and,
are willing to secure their offer OF
$4,000 and ten acres of land.
The meeting was addressed by
Judge J. D. Fox, DR.. Newberry
and other prominent home people.
Prof. Jennings Of the Pennington
Baptist college and Prot. Graham
of Mayfeld-Smith academy we're
present and addressed the meeting.
The Pennington college was re-
Gently burned.
REPRESENTATIVES HERE.
Rev. Hunt, pastor Of the Baptist
church at Fredericktown and J. p.
Graham, member of the Graham
lumber company, were here last
Saturday to interview Prof. Gra-
ham. He went to Fredericktown
with them Saturday. He made, he
says, no promises and was non
committal. The editor believes
that he prefers the school to re-
main here.

Bertha Belle Westbrook Company,

The Bertha Belle Westbrook
company played to a full house
last Saturday night. The "Little
Professor" was lively farce of
no merit, made a vehicle for intro
ducing a number Of specialties.
No special commendation Of Miss
Westbrook's work is appropriate.
She was decidedly ordinary. Mr..
Reid is as fine a reciter and di-
alect imitator as IL has been the
editors fortune to hear.
Miss Mccoy was the gem lady
actress, She has a sweet voice and
has it under excellent control.
She Is handy with the guitar and
banjo, and has a natural and win
some way that is decidedly refresh
ing. Little Dave Thompson was
attractive only because Of the nov
city of so young q vocalist. He
sang we'll. Upon the whole the
specialties were good. 1.,
But it is to be dep,ored that Mr..
ReiG should have degenerated a
fairly good entertainment into 4
fakir show. His mind reading
and nesmet;stic feats were e$-
tremely transparent and certainly
disgusting.
