DOGS A MENACE
TO AUTOMOBILISTS
Drivers In Every Case Almost Have
to Stop Machines to Allow Can
ines the Right Of Way.

A recent party of Keokuk gentle
men, who Were spending social hour
together, many of them in the party
being owners Of automobiles, let their
conversations drift to that topic and
some of the experiences they go
through with in every day life with
the machines.
What appeared to be the most in.
teresting of all and a thing that
most Of the eighteen In the party,
could talk on quite freely, was the
trouble experienced with dogs which
run out in front of every passing auto
and cause the driver of the machine
endless worry. lest some of these
precious CANNES be killed or badly
manned by being run over with a
heavy road car or runabout.
One of the party told of certain
dog which runs out every day, one
that lives on the boulevard. and as the
car passes. tries to bite the tires OF
the machine as it passes him. Some
of these days, the dog will get a little
too close and be given lesson that
will get him out of the habit Of trying
to sink his teeth into the rubber OF
every automobile that happens to
pass that way.
Stories of dogs being run over by
their machines were plentiful and In
teresting 70 a degree, In all cases
this cannot be helped for the drivers
of automobiles stop the speed of the
machine in every case so that the
dogs will not be run over and killed

Late Sheriff Doner's Escaped Prisoner
Captured in ST. Louis After
Five Years From His
Arrest
ESCAPED AT BURLINGTON
In Changing Cars There for Fort Mad
ison Negro Jumped From
Moving Train and EIuded
Pursuit.

Frank Cheeks, negro, WHO es-
capped from Sheriff Doner of Monroe
county at the Union station
In Burlington one cold night
In February five years ago, has
been captured In st. Louis. 1t was
generally supposed that Cheeks in es-
Gaping across the frozen river that
night fell into an air hole and was
drowned, as no trace of him could be
found Sheriff Doner, who felt Keen
~ the loss of the prisoner, died about
two years ago.
The story of the escape Of Cheeks
is OF interest. proving that 1t is not
too far. When Doner arrived. at Bur
lington that night with the negro, he
was compelled to wait an hour or more
before changing cars for Fort Madison.
Cheeks was on crutcles, having re-
ceived a stab in the leg with pitch
fork in the hands Of an officer who ar
rested him while hiding In a barn
after he had broken jail Cheeks leg
was swollen and he professed to feel
great pain. Sheriff Doner, who was a
one armed man but possessed unlim-
tied courage, did not put the hand
Guns on Cheeks and allowed him con-
siderable liberty, never dreaming
that he was able to step on his injured
foot.
When the train came in, Cheeks and,
the sheriff started for the coach and
the prisoner preceded the officer up
the car steps. He grunted at every
step and Sheriff Doner felt sorry for
him. The foxy negro had no sooner
reached the platform than he dashed
his crutches back into the face Of the
sheriff and jumped OF the other side
of the train and disappeared into the
darkness OF the Burlington route
yards.
The alarm was sent out and the
yards were thoroughly searched, but
no sign of Cheeks could be discov-
cred. The river was frozen over and
it was supposed that the prisoner in
attempting to cross to the Illinois
side was drowned.
The following dispatch tells OF the
capture of Cheeks in ST. Louis:
ALBA, July 14.-Chief of Police
vanschoiack has another feather in
his cap for the apprehension of a
criminal who made his escape from
the late Sheriff Doner in 1904. On
February % of that year Frank
Cheeks was convicted in the district
court of Monroe county for breaking
and entering Frank Syartz's rest
aurant. and stealing some clothing ant
other articles and was sentenced t
two years at hard labor in the peni
Tertiary at Fort Madison. A few hours
after his sentence he made his escape
from the jail, but was captured IL

CENTENARY OF CARSON
Every American schooIboy Familiar
With Exploits of the Famous
Scout, Trapper and Guide.
(Herald Special.0

Louisville, KY, Dec 24.-One hun
bred years ago today, on a farm in
Madison county, this state, was born
Kit" Carson, the famous scout, trap
per and guide, with whose exploits
every American schoolboy is familiar.
In the forty years that have passed
since death removed Carson from the
stage of life, his fame has increased
until he bids fair to become one of
the legendary figures of pioneer life
in America. Kentucky regards him as
one of her most famous sons and to-
day the schools in many parts of the
state devoted their Friday afternoon
exercises to papers and addresses tell
ing of the patriotic life and deeds of
the noted frontiersman.
The career of Kit" Carson began
when, at the age CT sixteen. he joined
an overland trading expedition to San
ia Fe. Before he was eighteen he
had roamed over a great section of
the country between the Rocky noun
tains and the Pacific coast. For six
teen years he supplied himself with
everything he ate by means of his |
rifle. He never visited the settle
nents or trading posts except to OBJ
ain ammunition.
He married an Indian woman in
New Mexico and lived the life of SIM
,licity followed by the Indians When
lis wife died in 1912 he took his in
ant daughter to st. Louis to be edu-
.ated. Lieut.. John c. Fremont was
hen fitting out at St. Louis his first
