over the limb, severing the foot just
above the ankle. He was taken to
the Baptist Hospital in st. Louis

rallied from the shock, dying about

LAWYER PIPKIN INDICTED.

One day last week Sheriff London
handed Mr.. Merrill Pipkin II legal
looking document, aud on reading II
he discovered that II was warrant
ordering his arrest on an indictment
found by the late Grand Jury charg-
ing him with carrying concealed
weapons against the peace and
dignity of the State" Mr.. Pipkin
Is one of the most peaceable and
law-ahiding citizens of the county,
and his fault, If it is "A fault, is IA
ment of the law. We don't know
whether he Is guilty of having gun
in his pocket at the time cited in the
Indictment or not, but If he had we
think we would plead Justification
for ourself II we were To make II
similarpreparation for an anticipated
contingency. II will be- remembered
that Mr.. Pipkin was Unexpectedly
and without pr0vocation on his part
set upon by one Sam Doss and
beaten almost to death, for no other
reason, as was reported, than that
he was employed as an attorney to
bring n suit on account against
Doss. Doss was arrested on a
charge of assault with intent to kill,
but was tried and found guilty of
common assault only and fined SO
and costs. Time went by and the
! fine was not collected. Mr. Pipkin
insisted that the fine be collected, f.,
and some months after, DOss was
made to pay up. If Doss would AS
sault an attorney and beat him up
as he did Mr. Pipkin for the mer4
fact that he was employed as m at
torncy in n cival case against him,
MIR. Pipkin certainly had reason to
believe that his prosecution of Doss
for fcloniOus assault and his in
sistcnce upon the payment of the
fine had not sweetened Doss' dis
position towards him. DOss was In
town at the time the indictment
alleges Mr.. Pipkin had coacealed
weapon about his person, and was
In and around the Court House,
where Mr.. Pipkin'S legal business
called MIN. If Mr. Pipkin took the
precaution which his friends advised
him to do, but at which he only
smiled, lac only did what almost any
good citizen would have done who
had reason to- anticipate another
such assault as he had already suf-
fered. This is no excuse, probably,
for Mr.. Pipkin, If he did carry n
gun, but what is n peaceably in
clined citizen to do after he has been
assaulted and beaten almost to death
just because he is attending to II
simple piece of business in the line
of his profession?

EPWoRTH LEAGUE CON-
vENTIoN AT DOE RUN

The Pennington District Epworth
League Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church held it's second annual ses-
sion In Doe Run, Mo-, last week,
and was decidedly successful ses-
sion. The people of Doe Run proved
themselves to be hosts of the first
class and the tarry OF the Epworthian
was made doubtly pleasant because
of the entertainment accorded them.
The visit to the Musuem, Mr..
Graves home, and the mill added
much 10 it.
The program given was high grade
and not any dry or uninteresting
papers or address were delivered.
Among the subjects which were
discussed by delegates in papers and
general discussion, were:
The "pcrsistent President" by
Miss Ethel Elliott, which placed large
responsibility on the president and
indicated the certain fruits that
would follow the efforts Of the pres
ident who never quits.
"lnvisihlc Results" by Rev. G..
ID. Bradley, which encouraged all
| by the thought that there was GER
taintv of results even though not
seen many times.
"How to Secure Prompt and Regu-
! lar Attendance, by Mrs. q Il. Thorn
as, which proved that success comes
at a price of regular effort on the part
of the members.
"Christian Stewardship" by L..
| NJ. Thomson, in which the RESPONSE
bility for systematic giving was
emphasized, aud call found sew
eral tithers present, and further
call increased the total number
present promising to tithe for one
year to twenty.
"Some Results of Ministration to
the Poor and Sick" by Miss Maud
Smith, which clearly proved the
efficiency of the Mercy and Help
Department and its value to the
church.
"Social Gathering" by Mrs, Belle
Humphry, who clearly proved that
the point of contact was our social
nature and hence held great value.
/ The Addresses on Wednesday night
by DR.. ID. W. Crow on the "Peace
and Power of the Christ" and the
one by DIR. G.. \. Pcgram on "The
Bible" were both full Of inspiration
aud help, and all were exceedingly
strengthened by having heard them.
Some of the practical results from
the convention was that of provid-
ing money for three Native workers
in China by six Leagues in the Dis.
trlct; the increasing the number of
tlthers in the District, and the in
creasing interest in League work.
The officers elected for this year;
were President, Rev. l.. II. Sweet

Weber, Flat River, with more to
hear from. Jefferson county, II is
true, had her snare when the Demo
Gratis were IN, but the fact that the
institution is located in st. Fran
co.'s county and Farmingtcn has
"hOgged" most of the places shows
cOnclusively that the Republicans
are still in favor of the Capitalization
Of power. 1t is unusual and dan
gerous TO the best interests OF the
State to have 50 many officers OF

in which the institution Is located
