Turn Your Back

on the grocer who says he has
better Coffee than Blanke's.
He only wishes that he had
such Coffee. Remember this:
All l claim for Blanke's Cof-
fee is that it is at least as
good as any other brand on
earth. Many of my custom
ers openly say it is the best.
Probably they are right. But
this is q big world and there
are lots of good things in
it. Still there isn't a better
Coffee than Blanke's any
where-north, south, east or
west. My way of selling this
Coffee is to give people their
money back if they don't
like it. The price is % cents
per pound.

The complete returns from the
contest for county school COM
missioner in this county Tues
day, April Z, 1908, show the fol-
lowing result:
w. P. Noel. 4. 900
W. s. Drace. 1859
J. W. Taylor TIA
Drace's plurality. ..... 80
No mistake could have been
made had either of these gentle
men been elected to preside
over the public school interests
of our county, for they are all
capable and enthusiastic in the
cause of education, and are
principals of the Salisbury,
Brunswick and Keytesville wis
lsge school, respectively.
F., A good man has been re-
elected as county school COM
missioner and two equally as
sl s'ood a.:len have beer defeated.
Out Of the total number of
votes cast % for Drace and eight
for Taylor were improperly cer-
titled, hence were not counted.
No report was received at all
from six districts.
The limit for receiving returns
expired at IL O'Clock Monday
night, April 13.
The Salisbury papers of last
week from votes received up till
Thursday afternoon took it for
granted that Prof. Noel would be
elected and whistled merrily, but
later returns have changed their
whistle to whimper.
Prof. Drace and his friends
are now having their laugh, and
as they are laughing last they
are also laughing best.
We doubt not, however, that
Profs. Noel and Taylor will both
receive merited recognition of
their splendid qualifications as
educators from the voters of
Charlton county at some future
time.
So mote it be.

There came near being mur-
der at Dalton Saturday night be-
tween 8 and 8 o'clock, growing
out of a difficulty between Percy
Tate and John M. Rogers, two
young men of that village.
Rogers and Miss Lizzie Harke,
a young lady whom he intended
to marry Tuesday, April IA, he
having taken out a marriage
license last Saturday, and Miss
Lizzie's sister, Mrs. Leroy
Davis, were on their way to the
home of Ed Feaker in Dalton,
Mr.. Feaker having also married
Miss Harke, for the purpose of
spending the evening.
At point near Frank T. Tay-
lor's store Miss Harke and Mrs.
Davis concluded to pass around
the rear of Mr.. Taylor's place of
business to Mr.. Feaker's house,
but Rogers insisted that they go
the front way.
Percy Tate was standing in
front of Taylor's stol e, and SEEM
ed to become possessed of the
idea that the ladies did not want
to pass by him, and remarked:
"Come on this way; am not GO
ing to sskiff ride you"
Rogers reprimanded Tate for
making what he (Rogers) con-
sidered was an insulting remark,
and told Tate he had better look
out or he (Tate) might get 'sklff
rode himself.
One word brought on another,
finally resulting in Rogers strik-
ing Tate stinging blow on the
nose and knocking him off the
sidewalk.
Rogers and Miss Harke and
Mrs. Davis then went on to Mr..
Feaker's, and Tate disappeared
from the streets but soon return
ed, having, it is supposed, gone
home and armed himself.
Town Marshal Will Terrill saw
Tate after he came back up town
and from his actions feared that
more trouble was brewing, and
went to Tate and told him if he
wanted Rogers arrested to swear
out a warrant and he (Terrill)
Would arrest him. Tate said he
did not want Rogers arrested,
and Terrill then told Tate if any
further difficulty occurred he
would arrest him and Rogers
both.
It was not long after this that
Rogers and Miss Harke and Mrs.
Davis left Feaker's and started
back to F. C. Harke's, the father
of Miss Harke and Mrs. Davis.
When they again reached Tay-
lor's store and were within about
10 feet of the place where Rogers
had knocked Tate from the side
walk earlier in the evening, Tate
stepped in front of them and said
to Rogers: ''You are the brave
boy," and at the same time drew
a pistol and began firing at close
range, so close that the flash of
the powder from a cartridge Of
Tate's pistol burned a small hole
in Rogers shirt.
The first shot took effect a lit
tie to the left of the center
of Rogers breast, but the bullet
had spent a good portion of its
force by striking the edge of a
button on Rogers shirt, and Tate
being so close to him the leaden
missile did not enter Rogers
breastbone but glanced diagon-
ally upward and came out at the
lower end of the neck, just at the
upper edge of the collarbone.
A second SHOT was fired by
Tate which entered Rogers right
forearm about half way between
the shoulder and elbow, passed
aroundthe bone and lodged in

SHOT TO KILL.
John M. Rogers Narrowly Escapes Death at the
Hands of Percy Tate-Shootng
Occurred at Dalton.

the muscles on the back side of
the arm, this ball having been
located by DR.. C. B. Clapp of
Moberly Sunday by means of an
X-ray machine, but was, for some
reason unknown to US, not cut
out.
Rogers was taken to Moberly
Sunday morning by Messrs. Ed
Feaker, Henry Harke and Leroy
Davis in order that DR.. Clapp
might locate the bullet in his arm.
Rogers wounds were dressed
Saturday night by DR.. A. S. Tai
bot of Dalton, who also probed
for the ball in the arm, but
failed to locate it and advised
that the patient be taken to Mo-
berly, which was done as already
stated above.
just after Tate fired the second
shot, Rogers grabbed the hand
in which Tate held the pistol and
elevated Tate's hand and the
weapon, and with the other hand
Rogers grabbed Tate by the
throat and began to choke him
and had about shut off Tate's
wind when Marshal Terrill rush
ed in, having first called to his
assistance Sam Thompson and
Jesse Coleman, and pulled Rog-
ers off of Tate and disarmed Tate,
who was then taken in custody
by Marshal Terrill.
i Sheriff F. M. Veatch was noti-
fled of the shooting and sent his
deputy, S. j. Shaughnessy, to
| Dalton. Mr.. Shaughnessy re-
{. turned to Keytesville with Tate
shortly after midnight Saturday
night.
Henry Harke, a brother to
Rogers prospective bride, also
came over to Keytesville Satur-
day night and swore out a war
rant before Justice D. H. Ham
cock for Tate's arrest, charging
him with assault with intent to
| kill.
Tate gave bond in the sum OF
S4O0, with c.. D. Turner of Dali
ton as bondsman. for his appear
arce for preliminary hearing
Monday, but when he came be-
fore Justice Hancock that day he
waived formal arraignment and
pleaded not guilty to the charge
against him, and was placed un-
der a bond of S400, with w. w.
Hancock, D. w. Bayne and his
father, w. P. Tate, as securities,
to appear at the May term of
circuit court at Keytesville.
! Notwithstanding his trouble
and wounds Rogers was married
to Miss Lizzie Harke Tuesday as
previously planned. He is %
years old and young man of
splendid physique, and is a son
Of w. w. Rogers who was city
marshal of Keytesxille several
years ago. Young Rogers hae
made his home in Dalton since
last June.
Percy Tate was 81 years old
last September, but would hardly
be,regarded as physical match
for Rogers. Besides he is an
epileptic, and it was this afflic-
ton and an ungovernable temper
that led him to seek the deadly
revenge he did on Rogers for as
saulting him.
Oh the other hand, Rogers con-
sidered it as his duty to resent
what he regarded as an insulting
remark made by Tate in the pres
ence of ladies who were under
his (Rogers') protection, hence
Rogers thinks he was perfectly
justifable in assaulting Tate.
AS to who is most to .sblame'
for this serious affray it is not for
the COURIER to say. That matter
must be determined by the courts.
