OUTRAGED FATHER
FINDS HIS DAUGHTER
Lowell Mason Contractor
Has a Shotgun and
Wants to Use It.

An irate father. armed with a shot
gun and looking for his 15-year-old
daughter who had been "shanghaied'
into the bottomless pit of vice in West
Hammond, yesterday laid bare another
chapter of the unspeakable conditions
that exist in West Hammond
The father, George Davis, a mason
contractor of Lowell, who was accom-
panied by a number of his friends, en-
tered West Hammond in an automobile,
and after making a long search. they
were informed that the girl Gertrude
was at the home of Peter Max. the for
mer village president, who has a long
and unsavory record behind him both
for his private and public life.
The father and his companions failing
to find the girl in West Hammond
drove to Burnhan in search of Miss
Brooks, who directed them to Mak's
farm on the Calumet river, and after
receiving this information he headed
directly for the farm.
The girl is said to have been the VIC
tim of all manner of outrages, and the
father, knowing this, swore to empty
his double -barreled shotgun into hel
seducers. The father said that his
daughter left his home in search OF
house work and that he learned only ir
a roundabout way that she had be-
come the victim of West Hammond:

It is reported good authorit,

'che counctlmen by the way they vote
on the revocation order tonight. No
pleas that the dive keepers are orderly
now will go. The fact that they have
been disorderly in the past disualifies
them.
There will be a big crowd OF West
Hammond citizens present at the
meeting. and each alderman is to be
held to strict account for what he
does.
Those who vote for revoking the Ii
censes are to have the confidence OF
the people, and those who vote against
revoking the licenses are to be hence
forth considered the enemies of re-
form.
Tonight is to be the crucial test.
The citizens of West Hammond who
favor reform are expected to get close
to their aldermen today and tell them
just what they may expec, II they fail
to do the right thing.

"The demand for farming lands in Desha county is greater than fl has ever befn,' said Capt. J. c. Cross, tho widely known planter at Pendleton, " who was in the city yesterday. "There have been some big transfers ill the county lately. The Medfori plantation of 6,000 acres was recent ly sold to Moose and Massey for $125,000, and the LenoX place, near Pendleton, was sold to John E. Wells of Pine Bluff, who paid about $20- 000 fer it. There are many other deals on hand and it will not be long before every acre of tillable land in Desha county will be in the hands of practical farmers who will know how to put it to the best use,
