1t seems that the railroad company
last October took up a switch or
spur at Glover that Mr.. Scoggin
had used for the past fifteen years.
He has endeavored to get the rail-
road company to re-install the
switch but they have persistently
refused, and hence this suit, the
plaintiff maintaining that he has
been damaged to the amount
named because of the removal of
the track. Chas. M. Bates, of st.
Louis, and Munger & Lindsay of
Piedmont are Mr.. SIS attorneys.
The indictments against Henry
S. Whitener, George B. Gale, Geo.
M. London, James A. London, Jr.,
and Gilbert V. Whitener, st. Louis
real estate men, charging conspi-
racy to defraud the government
out of lands, have been restored to
the docket and a demurrer, argued
Saturday, was taken under adj
visement. 1t is charged the de-
PENDANTS secured title to lands by
the use of dummies, with the in
tention of transferring them to the
Fredericktown Trust Company.
The lands comprise 3840 acres in
Montgomery county, Arkansas.
The case has been removed from
the District to the Circuit Court

The big iron ore washer at
Greenville was sold by Sheriff w.
F. Ezell on Wednesday of this
week under a judgment of the
Butler county circuit courtin favor
of Bryant & Putnam, the con-
tractors who did the work of erect
ing the plant. 1t was bid in at
$4,000 by V. V. Ing, representing
the creditors. This washer was
the property of the st. Francois
Iron & Land Company and was
built during the winter of 1909-10.
1t is one of the largest and finest
in this section of the State, but
has never been operated extensive

ness of the plant amounted to

Miss Ethel Morris has been Sc
riously i'll for several weeks. 1t
was determined on Sunday that it
would be necessary to take hersto
st. Louis and place her under the
treatment of a specialist. The
trip was made in a special coach
attached to the north bound Iron
Mountain Monday. Her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Morris, and DR..
Fleming, accompanied her and
they report that she stood the trip
very well, but they say that a
surgical operation will likely have
to be resorted in order to save her
life. Miss Ethel is a lovable young
woman and an accomplished
pianist. The News shares in the
general anxiety about her health
and the sincere hope that she may
steadily regain it.-Farmtngton

Scarcely a family in this town
has escaped the measles during
the winter and spring. No syste-
matte care has been used to pre-
vent the spread of the disease, and,
happily, no fatalities have SO far
resulted. l note that many sec
tons far and nea are afflicted.
Up in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas,
the disease is raging and strict
Quarantine has been established,
as Sergeant Reese can testify.
Several weeks ago his eldest
daughter, aged seven, "broke OUT
and the family was quarantined
until the child had recovered, and
even then the father had to suffer
fumigation before resuming his
duties as commissary and mixing
with the world. A few days later,
while Mr.. Reese was temporarily
absent from home, behold the
younger daughter, aged five, de-
veloped a bona fide case of the
disease, and the father is quar-
antined from his family! One may
readily conjecture his view of a
system whose rigidity thus plays
battledoress and shuttlecock with
its victims.
