Alton Society Misses Say Humble
"crawdad" is Vastly Better to
Eat Than the coodIy
Lobster

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 22.-Lobster a la
Newburg to the rearl Crawfish, Alton
style, to the front!
Alton society girls are not only serv-
ing the once-despised "crawfish' as
the chief luxury of midsummer lunch
cons; they are crawfishing with their
own fair hands and their equally fair
and bewitehing bare feet.
You can't catch erawflsh with your
shoes and stockings on, say the young
women. So they are glad that the
pond where the freshwater crustaceans
are thickest is at a place where the
shrubhery is also thick.
Society Girls Tell How
Misses Dorothy Hanna and Marie
MeKenna of the fashionable Euclid
place are the leaders of the, society
crawfish hunters. They can catch more
of the fish than any other girls in AL
ton, and they have shown other peo-
pie how to COOK them. Those who
have eaten of the dish as prepared by
Misses Hanna and Mekenna say the
better than his inland cousin.
Miss Hanna told a reporter yester-
day how to catch and COOK craWflsh.
Here is her method;
Take off your shoes and stockings,
roll up your sleeves and wade into the
creek or pond. Push over big stone
and you will find the crawflsh under
1t.
Put your hand back of the fish, SO
that the fish, moving backward, viii
walk into your hand. Put your index
finger and thumb on the hard part Of
the crawfish's back, Just behind the
pinching arm. This will keep you from
getting pinched.
No Ptomalnes-Yet
'rYou can get seventy or eighty craw-
fish If YOU are lucky. Then take them
home, cut their heads off, clean them
and fry them in butter
Some young women who have emu
lated Misses Hanna and McKenna have
been less skillful in handling the catch
and have been pinched. A crawfish
makes q business of pinehlng When ne
goes at 1t, and takes a little nip of the
fiesh with him when he is pried loose:
Alton physicians who have heard OF
the new fad are refreshlng tnslr
memories ON the hurryup remedies for
ptomaine poisoning.

ing to that friends story, today
brought out a statement from a work
er on the waterfront to the effect that
he believed that the convicts left this
island on Tuesday or Wednesday in
the barkentine Klikitat, schooner Eva,
S. S. Porter or S. S. Arizonan. He
states that his reason for so believing
is that he was shown $50 by fellow
waterfronter, in a saloon, when both
were somewhat jagged, who boasted
that he had earned the money by get
ting aboard two men who were wanted
by the police.
Last night the Waimea pig-hunt caus-
ed a general report to the effect that
the convicts were in Waimea, but they
have been reported everywhere on the
island, nearly, since their escape, and
wherever anything has been stolen the
country populace has jumped to the
| conclusion that the desperadoes were
in the vicinity. They may even next
be heard of as in Kaanapali, whittier

The letter written by Lopez to the
Sheriff may have been a blind to cover
the escape of the convicts from the

The following appeared in this

"The sensational item of news pub

the bandits, created great deal
of amusement around the police sta

looked upon as piece of fiction The
police have every reason to E-aeve
that the bandits are still in the Waia-
1ua district, the report Of their being
seen yesterday confirming the inform
alton already received"
A wild chase for an ungreased pig in
the Waialua district yesterday is re-
spOnsible for the above. The Adver-
tiser prints also a story of a weeping
woman seen at Waimea station, rifle
in hand, who is said to have told the
railway engineer that the two outlaws
had just robbed a Chinaman and fed
up the valley. The woman, howevet
did not tell any such tale,-the train
didn't even stop at Waimea station.
The woman with the rife was PROB
ably weeping over the loss Of the pig
Ii so she is now comforted. The local
population turned out for a great pig
hunt, and after the run of its life the
pig unlike the outlaws, was captured
and restored to its prison. The pig,
