the owners of the "clubhouse,"
and collected the ST that each

others who returned his kev was
Schuyler Stephens, who not only
returned his own key, but also
that of his son, Brook, out in
these cases it was not because
of Schuyler and Brook Stephens
having taken sides in Pete Dob

law. They returned their keys
for the reason the senior Steph.
ems had been informed that all
who had keys to the"clubhouse"
were liable to prosecution.
Wednesday night a couple of
pistol shots were fired and much
swearing and many threats made
just outside of the house occupi.
ed by Schuyler Stephens, for
which, it is believed, Henry and
Thos. Dobbins were responsible,
the purpose being to intimidate
Stephens and make him leave
town.
Thursday morning about 7
O'Clock Henry Dobbins was seen
10 hand his son, Tom, a pistol,
but no further disturbance arose
until shortly before 5 O'Clock
Thursday afternoon, when Tom
Dobbins was standing on the
porch in front of l.. B. Cars
store, and Ethel Taggsrt, r. R.
D. Standley and Ed Stephens, the
latter a son of Schuyler Steph-
ems, entered Carr's store. Dob.
bins called Standley out and
asked him why be (Standley)
had it in for him (Dobbins).
Standley denied that he "had it
in" for Dobbins. and Dobbins
replied: 81 have got something
against you; you owe me So and
G. d you, you had better pay
me right now. Standley stepped
back into Carr's store, borrowed
SD and paid Dobbins, who said:
SNOW, G. d. you l never want
you to speak to me again.
Tom then called Ed Stephens
out of the store and told him he
wanted to settle with him and
asked Stephens to 60 with him
to the "clubhouse," and Standley
and Taggart went out and sat
down on the porch in front of
Carr's store.
When Tom Dobbins and Ed
Stephens got about half way
between Carr's store and the
"clubhouse," Star.dley and
Stephens saw them fighting.
Henry Dobbins, Toms father,
was then standing in front of
Mrs. Nora Allega's residence
which is located between Carr's
store and the "clubhouse," and
Standley and Taggart saw Henry
Dobbins pick up stick of cord.

who threw his head to one side

Standley and Taggart then ran
to stop the fight, and Taggart
caught hold of Henry Dobbins.
Just about this time Ed Stephens
succeeded in jerking pistol
from Tom Dobbins which Tom
had snapped twice in Eds face.
Taggart looked around and
saw Schuyler Stephens, Eds
father, and Taggart then let

his contract with Dudley & Kitchener 1t
was necessary for them to prove their serv-

do so precluded any recovery. The plain

necessity of proving services.

TOXIC ON OUR NAVAL MOVE.
Believes the Time Inopportune for
Such Demonstration.

TOXIC, July s.-Conirmation of the re-
port that a powerful battleship squadron
would be sent to the Pacific has been gen.
orally received with calmness. though there
Is some surprise in certain quarters well
versed in diplomatic niceties.
1t is said that the sudden change of pro-
gram in the case of the Japanese train
ing squadron last January, when 1t was
first intended that its voyage should in
clude San Francisco and other Pac.Lc coast
cities, was evidently in difference to the
wishes of the Washington government,
made known to the Toxic authorities In
an indirect but unmistakable manner. The
change of route was decided on only a
couple of days before the squadron sailed.
1t was thought then that the Japanese
acted wisely in avoiding a course which
might have proved injurious when a strong
anti-Japanese sentiment was prevailing In
San Francisco. Though officially stated
that the dispatch of the battleships to the
Pacific is not directed toward Japan, ii is
felt here that II is most inopportune when
an attempt Is evidently going on to i'm
pair the traditional friendship between
Japan and the United States.
Though the slightest apprehension is not
entertained here, 1t is thought 1t would
be better to defer at this moment any
thing that would be open to the slightest
suspicion of provocation, especially when
a portion of the American public is thought
to be oversensitiye over the present state
of the relationship of Japan and the United
States, brought about by prejudice against
the japanese in a section of the latter s
dominion.

attempt vengeance against young Wadding-
ton, who was acquitted of the murder of

Young Waddington in an interview de-

gray and aged with grief, and his father

Its strategical location is good, but not

Need Of Naval Base.
The desire Of the administration to gain
a naval base at Magdalena bay is con-
fession of the weakness of the entire plan
of basing the larger Pacific fleet upon the
western coast of the United States. The
necessity for a winter drill ground at Mag
dalena bay arises from the absence of
such facilities in the United States. 1t Is
considered all very we'll to have Magda-
lena bay as a drill ground and target
range and point of rendezvous for such
divisions Of the Pacific fleet as are now
maintained on the Pacific coast. Naval
opinion Is practically unanimous in the be-
lief that the base for the battleship fleet
In the Pacific should be the Philippines

that these should be made at San Fran

CENTENARIANs TO MARRY
Loved First in 1922 and Have Not
Seen Each Other Since

81. LOUIS, Mo-, July S.-Invitations to
the wedding Of John B. Bundren 1O1 wears
old, and Miss Rose MCGUIRE, 100 years old
IN Tate Springs, Tenn, on August g. have
been issued by ]. B. Bundren, jr., of 343O
Eads avenue, st. Louis, nephew of the
prospective Bridegroom. The elder Mr.. Bum
dren Is now journeyng to England to
claim his brde-to-be, and they are expected
to return the latter part of July.
General invitations have been sent to
every person more than ninety years old to
attend the ceremony and remain at the
Bundren home, in Tate Springs as long as
they desire. According to information re-
ceived by the nephew of the centenarian.
there will be 135 boys and girls" all nine
ty years and over, in attendance. The CEN
tenarian bridegroom-elect was q guest of
his nephew in ST. Louis several weeks ago.
A rare romance lies back of the an
nouncement. Away back in 1899 John Bum
dren and Rose MCGUIRE lived on adjoiAing
farms in Tennessee. They loved each other
as children, but soon after their engage
mont the girls parents decided to return
to their home in England. The sweet
hearts were broken-hearted but parted
without any agreement to meet again. The
girl returned to England and the young
man went to California as "forty-niner."
Mr. Bundren prospered. He spent q
small fortune searching for his one-tme
sweetheart. Finally he learned that she
was in England and, true to her heart
had never married. He returned to Ten
nessee and purchased the two old home
steads. Then letters were exchanged and
he learned Miss Rose still loved him.
though three-quarters of century had
elapsed since they parted, and that she was
willing to join heart and hand.
The house party at the Tate Springs
homestead promises to be most interesting.
The bridegroom proposes to have embodied
in a booklet the portrait and life sketch of
every guest. This souvenir will be issued
about August l. SO that the guests may
have opportunity to become acquainted
with one another before they meet at the
wedding. In addition to sending their photo
graph and life history, each guest has been
requested to give his her definition of
love.

doubtful If the beach is fully completed by

shower of broken glass into the back yard.

yelled. Levine leaped from the roof and
GRABBED a high clothespole which stood
near the house In the rear yard. He be-
gan to slide to the ground.
AS he was passing the second floor Mrs.

These lingering remnants of the

assure very quick sale.
1t is not often that best of English
jet. real shell and expensive Partisan
jewelry are sacrificed. The prices
asked are but a fraction of usual
values, and this is true of the high
grade belts. Parasols that were up
to So are gathered into three lots and
quick-seuing prices affixed. So with
neckwear-pieces that were several
dollars are to go at less than dol
lar, and pennies are to suffice for the
less expensive.

moment to have one or more summer
hats made, now that materials are
finally reduced and the milliners are
not overwhelmed. Materials for sum-
mer dresses can now be bought for
a mere song If the purchaser IS a

seeking among remnants.
