Still there is no news of Ander-
son Rust, who has been missing
since the day Douglas Newman
was killed. The last heard of Rust
was the morning following the
tragedy, when he was seen about
fifteen miles south of Ironton. The
opinion seems to be that the flee
ing man was going to Arkansas,
where, it is understood, he has
relatives, but there is no trace of
him after he left the south end of
the county.

One of our printers in the days
gone by, M. D. Bells, happened
in on us Monday morning. He is
now employed on the Los Angeles,
California, Daily Times operating a
linotype machine, and has been
there for the past seven years.
"Dote" is doing well; has bought
him a homo and getting along
nicely. He left Los Angeles last
Wednesday night at ten o'clock
and stepped off of No. 4 at Ar
cadia Sunday evening. He is
making a flying trip and will prob
ably start from st. Louis home by
Sunday.
M. D. Bells, of Los Angeles,
California, and Miss Nettie O'Neal,
of Frankclay, Mo-, will be united
in marriage in st. Louis Thursday.
Mr.. Bells was formerly Of the
REGISTER force, and a good and
worthy man he is. The bride is
the daughter of our former towns
man, W. T. O'Neal, and a legion
of friends in Iron county wish her
every happiness. MI. and Mrs.
Bells will leave in a few days for
Los Angeles, where they will in
future reside. The REGISTER
hopes that every blessing will
come to them.
We are very much panied to
hear of the very serious illness of
our lifelong friend and good man,
HI. B. Jones, in Arkansas Harry
has not been in the best of health
for over a year, but when he was
here a month or SO ago he was
looking much better than he had
been, and it was hoped he was inn
proving. But shortly after his re-
turn home from here he had a bad
attack and went to Hot Springs to
consult a specialist. He diagnosed
the trouble as locomotor ataxia,
and declared his condition very
serious, indeed.
Sheriff Marshall returned from
Bisbee, Arizona, last Wednesday
night, having in charge Thos. Per-
sons, charged with rape. Persons
had been a fugitive from here for
one year. He first went to Mem
phis, where he workedt two or three
months and then drifted- to the
south and west. Bisbee is about
1900 miles from Ironton and only
a mile from the Mexican line. 1t
is a place Of 10000 people and a
"wide OPEN western town. Per-
sons was working in a copper
mine, and had been there about
two weeks. Sheriff Marshall was
just one week making the round
trip.
A gang of men arrived here
Saturday evening and are now at
work building our new depot,
which, we are assured will now be
hurried to completion. The last
delay in the building it is said,
was occasioned by some of the
railroad officials wishing to COM
