Turned Hose on Prisoner.

Jaller Towson, of Carthage, Mo-, has
been bothered for some time by the re-
bellious conduct of the prisoners in
his charge. They have been raising
a good deal of disturbance because, as
they alleged the prison food was not
good enough for them. Towson tried
IN several ways to quiet them, but this
Kind of treatment only made them
more impudent. Then he sent for a
company OF firemen and had the hose
turned on the rowdy rogues. At first
they jeered at the firemen, but the lat
ter kept a full-head stream going,
until every last one of them begged
off from further punishment and
promised to behave in future. "S'pris-
ing thing says the jailer, how them
fellers hates water, either outside or

CAMBRIDGE BANK ROBBERS
ENTER PLEA OF NOT GUILTY

''Not guilty" is the plea entered by
the five men accused of robbing the
First National bank of Cambridge.
Declaration on this subject has been
awaited with great interest through
out the country, since the men were
captured, although it has been gener-
ally believed they would plead not
guilty.
The motion to quash the indict-
ments was argued at Cambridge Mon
day, Attorney Charles X. Ladd repre-
senting the defendants, who were
brought into the court room closely
guarded. The motion was overruled.
whereupon the plea of not guilty was
entered.
The trial has been set for next Mon
day, this being agreeable to the state.
Whether the defense will seek longer
