THE CIRCUS

Frank A. Robbins all feature
shows were in our city on Wednes-
day. 1t was truly an old fashioned
circus, and they drew large crowds
to the various entertainments. This
show was clean and good produc.
tion. The men who were connected
with it, so far as we met them, were
gentlemen. The show in itself was
beyond the average circus. We heard
many people say, who had visited the
larger shows, that this was the best
for the money that they had ever at
tended
The parade in the forenoon was
the best show parade we have ever
had in our town. 1t was about halt
mile long and was filled with variety.
There were three bands in the pro.
cession.
The acrobatic performances, the
clowns, the trained animals, and the
music were features of the entertain
ment.-Mt. Union Times.

ing At BIadensburg
Traction Engine Breaks A
Gas Line

What might have been very ser.
ious accident occurred just south of
Bladensburg at about four o'clock
Wednesday afternoon when a thresh-
ing machine drawn by an engine, was
pulled over gas line. While passing
over the pipe, in which there was a
leak, allowing the gas to escape, an
explosion took place, as the gas was
allowed to reach the fire in the fire
box of the engine. The separator

was on the platform of the engine
when the explosion occurred, was Sc
verely injured by being thrown to the
ground by the shock. He sustained
a number of painful bruises as well
as a number of small cuts about the
head and face. The rest of the crew
of men escaped injury

In Every Way Was The X.
Of P. Picnic
Mt. Vernon Took The Flag
From Centerburg
Other Interesting Events
During The Day

The second annual picnic of the
knights of Pythias of Knox county,
was held at, Hiawatha park on Wed.
nesday. The affair was grand sue
cess in every way, being even better
than the one given last year. The
day was very hot and the ground dry,
but the park even in the dryest wealth
er is cool and pleasant. This, added
to the general atmosphere of good fel-
lowship, which was plainly evident,
made everyone present glad that they
were there. Large delegations from
various points in the county were
present and in all, the picnic was ex-
cellently attended.
The principal feature of the after
noon was the baseball game between
the Mt. Vernon and Centerburg K. of
P.'s. In the morning, Mt. Vernon and
Fredericktown and Bladensburg and
Centerburg played to decide which
two teams should oppose each other
in the afternoon and Mt. Vernon and
Centerburg were successful and as
result the game in the afternoon was
played by these two teams. Mt. Yer
non won the gamef by score of to
.. An exceedingly good exhibition of
baseball was given in this last game,
considering the fact that neither of
the teams had been given the proper
amount of practice and were not in
the best of condition to play first class
baseball.
The program, which was published
in this paper recently, was carried
out in order. This was very interest
ing in every detail. The athletic pro-
gram was also good and although no
records were broken, some excellent
work was done by the athletes who
took part in the games and contests.
Music, during the day, was furnish.
ed by the Centerburg band. This al.
so was great source of interest for
when the picnickers became tired of
witnessing the other events of the
day, they would sit down and enjoy
the music which was rendered in an
exceptionally good manner.

APPEAL
For Soldiers To Fight Forest
Fires

Portland, Ore, Aug. 1S-Lightning
is believed to have started a series of
forest fires, east of Butte Falls, in the
Crater reserve, of so serious nature
that the forestry service at once ask
ed for 100 soldiers as fire fighters.
The request was granted, and two
companies will leave the American
Lake encampment tomorrow morning.
The largest fire, one of five, was
found to have a solid line of flame,
three miles long. The timber is abb
solutely dry, and the flames are
spreading with amazing rapidity. Only
a dead calm or heavy rain will save
large tract of valuable timber

Lewis
Gets A Warning OF Black
Hand Death

indianapolis, Aug. 1S-President
Tom L. Lewis of the United Mine
Workers of America, is today investi
eating clues to find out the name of
the sender of Black Hand letter
threatening him with death, which he
received last night. 1t is probable that
the letter will be turned over to the
postal authorities.
The letter =. was from an Illinois
town, and was written in Italian. 1t
has a picture of cartridge, dagger
and black hand. All signs of the
Comorra were on it.
For obvious reasons President Lew
is would not disclose to the public the
name of the town from which the let
ter was sent.

EXERCISE
(Chicago Post)

iChtCdSO TOSlD
Exercise is what people talk about.
Exercise consists of cold bath ev,
cry morning, brisk walk of five miles
in the open air, and session with
the clubs and punching bag.
This forms a constant topic of con-
versation. Folks who talk about it
always say they must take it. Exer-
else is seldom taken. 1t is not very
catching.
A man who is naturally healthy,
who eats pie and welsh rabbit and all
such stuff, will look you in the eye
and swesr that his perfect condition
is entirely due to the regular exercise
he takes A man who is growing fat
will say that he is going to take regu-
lar exercise and reduce. He keeps
saying this until he grows so big that
his clothes have to be measured by
trigonometry..
Nobody takes exercise-unless he

suttles' Crime
Suttles was arrested about May ~
by Constable Milton Simpkins of
Squire Harter's court on a charge of
attempted rape upon little Elsie Lep-
ley, the young daughter of Mr.. and
MRS. Jesse Lepley of near Gambler
At the preliminary hearing before
Squire Harter, Suttles waived exam.
ination and was bound over to the
grand jury, which would have investi.
gated his case at the November term
of common pleas court.
Sheriff in Pursuit
AS soon as Sheriff Parker learned
of the Jail delivery, in company with
Deputy Sheriff Woolison, he drove to
Suttles home which is located two
miles east of Gambler in Monroe town
ship. The Sheriff hitched his horse in
a dark spot and the two officers con-
cealed themselves near the Suttles
home. About three o'clock Suttles ar.
rived on the scene and called to his
wife from the road. Mrs. SUIT
ties came out of the house and went
to the pump for bucket of water. 1t
is the supposition of the officers that
Suttles entered the yard and went in
to the house. About this time the
sheriff and his deputy closed in on
the house and both entered the build
ing in hopes of apprehending the
prisoner. When they searched the
house no one could be found-not ev-
en- the wife.
Sheriff Parker and Deputy Sheriff
Woolison then left the house and
started toward the barn when they
overlook Mrs. Suttles returning from
the barn. "Where is Charley?" de-
manded the sheriff "He is in the
barn" replied Mrs. Suttles.
The officers then searched the barn,
but could find no trace of the prison
er. A further examination, however,
revealed the fact that Suttles had left
the barn and had gone through a
corn field south of the barn. His
tracks through the cornfield were
plainly visible. After going through
the cornfield Suttles entered a dense
woods and it was here that the officers
lost all track of the man.
Sheriff Parker stated that it was
so dark he could not see Suttles when
he came up to the hoHse and cried
out to his wife, otherwise he believes
he could have captured the man at
once.
The officers remained in the vicin-
ity of the Suttles home until after
eight o'clock Thursday morning in
hopes, that Suttles would return home
for breakfast, but the prisoner did not
come near the house. Sheriff Parker
believes Suttles will remain close at
home for several days and that he
will be easily captured. The sheriff
has notified all the surrounding towns
and cities of Suttles escape and has
furnished a description of the man.
1t is possible that Suttles may go to
Columbus as his mother is said to be
living there.
