MUSGRAVE AGAIN
IN THE LIMELIGHT
lrkansan Against Whom Many Wo
men Have Made Complaint Ac-
cused OF Ill Treating Mrs.
Shipley of st. Louis.

st. Louis, Feb. 4.-AnOther story
of alleged mistreatment at the
hands of Thomas Musgrave, owner
Of plantation near Barfield, Ark,
was recounted to the police today
when Mrs Mary Shipley, young
widow, who, with son years old,
lives at 1908 South Seventh street,
told Chief Creecy that she was in
duced by Musgrave to leave st.
Louis and enter a cabin in the
woods near Barfield. Then, she said,
she was compelled to remain SIX
DAYS before she succeeded in escap-
ing.
She said she answered an adver-
tisement for q housekeeper insert
ed by Musgrave in a st. Louis news
paper, and he treated her with the
utmost respect until they reached
the cabin. Then. she said, he be-
came "a demon" She said last
Christmas was the most terrifying
day she ever experienced. In the
evening he gave her SO, and she,
taking her boy with her, waded
through mud almost llnee-deep to
fairfield, and there boarded a Trail
for st. Louis. She said she had
been too frightened since to make
n complaint. She asserts Musgrave
is holding two trunks of hers, which
contain her clothing and a SEWING;
machine she took with her to Bar
field.
Chief Creecy fferred her to Cir
cult Attorney Sager, who said he
would communicate with the Ar
kansas authorities and do every
thing possible to have action taken
against Musgravefif her story should
, be verified.

ST Johns a. VI. T.. Church.


Our church. situated on the cor
Nor of Cherry and Pullen streets
,vas DESTROYED by fire on the night
of January 80, 1908, entaidng a
loss of about $4,000, with $1,000
insurance. Through the generosity
OF II. Y. Long1ey, we have the use
of Longiey's park for church pur-
noses so long as we shall need II,
and that without cost for rent.
We begin now to arrange for re-
building and hope in few months
to occupy our new church. In an
swer to the expressions Of sympa-
ashv from all classes Of Our friends
and fellow-citizens, white and
colored. and because there are many
proffers of financial aid to rebuild
o,,r church, the trustees met on
Thursday night, January 80. and
authorized the following statement
to the public: Eve feel very keen
~ the loss of our beloved church,
whose beauty and completeness rep
resented SO much heroic sacrifice on
the part of q not wealthy but indus
trious people. We were not proud
in the offensive sense OF that word;
but looked on it as our offering TO
the glory of God Our eyes bedim
with grief. but through our tears
We smile. because, while the lire
Gears. the loving sympathy so uni
yersally expressed, takes away the
pain of our serious loss. Our mem
bers as one determine to rebnild
And because the friends generally |
encourage us to take no backward |
step as to the character of the |
building, we desire that the new |
church shall be such as will be in |
keeping with the demands of our
beautiful and substantial city-that |
it shall represent both our sacrifica
to Gods glory and the sympathy OF |
our friends. To these ends we re-
quest every member of st. Johns
church to give promptly and liberal
II, and all other churches and bod |
les to give as they can afford above |
their own local necessity, and ev
cry individual to come help us to |
Guild again a house of worship to |
the God of us all. We will arrange |
q subscription book at the church |
for members and such friends as de-
sire to subscribe for amounts to be
paid at once or in successive month
y payments. The Peoples Savings
Bank and Trust Co. and the Unity
Bank and Trust Co. have kindly
to receive money from
my persons who would rather do
'ate to our building fund through

auxiliary to the board of trustees,
Bro. c. |. Thomason to represent

cases the notice they received was too

the leading members OF the committee TO
these manufacturers are admirably calcu-
lated to call out answers asking for re-
tention Of the present rates OF duties or
advances in them.
DO you not believe that your present
duties should be maintained? This is the
usual query. Scarcely ever is Il put thus:
