NEGRO WANTED IN CONVICTION
TAKEN INTO CUSTODY HERE

John Cantrlll, negro wanted In
Covington for the murder of Callie
Fugate, a negress, of this city, was
arrested Tuesday about noon on the
farm of Mr.. King Griffith, near Ewalt
Cross Roads, and will be turned over
to the police of that city to answer
the charge.
The arrest of Cantrill was accom-
plished by. Patrolman Fred Link, of
this city. About two weeks ago Link
received information from the Off,
Gals of Scott county of burglary
that had been committed near Stamp
ing Ground. The thief had taken
number of pieces of wearing apparel
and shot gun. A description of the
, man who was alleged to have com
mitted the crime was furnished the To-
cal official, and as it tailed closely
with that of Cantrill sharp lookout
was. kept for the suspect. Some days
alter Patrolman Link learned that
Cantrill had been in the negro SUI
burb of Claysville in an effort to dis
pose of shot gun. Later he learned
that he was employed on the farm of
Mr.. Griffith, where he was taken in
to custody.
Cantrill, who bears the reputation
of being a desperate character, was
in corn field engaged in shocking
corn and was surprised by the officer.
He had no weapon on his person. but
! in coat in a cabin he had concealed
a large revolver. The shot gun he
had stolen was recovered and was re-
turned to the owner in Scott county,
/; who came to Paris Wednesday and
identified the weapon.
The arrest of Cantrill brings into
the clutches of the law the slayer of
Callie Fugate. The crime was com
mitted in Coyington, from where the
alleged perpetrator escaped and has
since been at large.
.Cantrill and the Fugate. woman
left Paris together last spring, where
they had lived together for some
time. On the night of September
the woman was found in a secluded
spot with her throat cut and several
wounds in the body. She was taken
to a hospital in a very serious condi
ton and survived for several days
She was able to give an account OF
the tragedy and gave description OF
her assailant, upon which the police
of several cities have been working
with hope Of apprehending the &C
cused.
On the night following the cutting
of the woman Cantrill made his ap
pearance in Ruckerville. He went to
barber shop in the colored, suburb
where he removed a bloody shirt and
coat and told number of the crime
he had committed The matter was
reported to the police, but he had dis
appeared, and no trace was found OF
him until the burglary in Scott coun
ty was reported to the police.
The Fugate woman lived several
days after being wounded, during
which time an ante-mortem statement
was taken by the prosecuting attor
ney of the Kenton Circuit Court.
Cantrill is said to be one Of the
most dangerous negroes that ever re
sided in this community. He was a
butcher and previous to the time OF
leaving Paris was employed in sew
eral butcher shops here. He is q
brother of Bus Cantrill, who is serv
ing term in the State Reformatory
in Frankfort for manslaughter.

Twelfth Annual Banquet Of
Ottumwa Comm ercial
Association Last Night,
Attended by $50 Men.
DEERE & co. MEN
WERE ON PROGRAM
Public Utility Officers and
Railroad Men Address
Citizens on Cooperation;
Hospital Ladies Served.

Ottumwa today knows better how
to become greater. The talks that fol-
lowed the serving Of the twelfth an
nual banquet of the Ottumwa Com
mercial association in the new ar
mory last night, pointed the way and
the ESQ members present are ready
and willing to follow religiously the
numerous suggestions voiced by the
speakers on the program. Big bust
ness men, connected with some Of
the largest public service companies
and manufacturers of the city made
the suggestions, and if there was no
other evidence of interest than the
attention given each speaker, the
banquet can be considered the most
successful ever held by the local as.
sociation. The event moved forward
like the machinery of Ottumwa's best
manufactory. Every one seemed te,
take a delight in participating ans
there were few who did not rematr
until the end OF the program, which
did not come until 11:45 p. M.
It was the privilege Of the Com.
mercial association boosters to have
as speakers four Of the ofilcials oi
Deere & Co., two Rock Island road
officers, the vice president OF the or,
ganization controlling the Ottumwa
Gas. Co., and Wells-Fargo express
man. Their words were those OF en-
couragement to Otturnwa, sugges.
tions how to accomplish greater re-
suits. and through every syllable ut
tered was the one thought that the
speakers were part and parcel OF OF
tumwa, notwithstanding that they did
not live here.
Good nature was the predominant
ing feature of the evening. Jokes
were passed with regularity that
rivalled the best after-dinner pro-
gram imaginable, yet the serious fea-
ture of the evening. that of better
understanding between Ottumwa and
her utilities, was not lost.
The banquet was served by the Ia
dies Of the Ottumwa Hospital assoc
citation, and the service of the six
courses on the menu was as near
perfection as possible. The four
tables were laden with flowers and
candelabra, and the balcony of the
armory was gaily decorated I, with
yuletide green's and American flags.
During the service of the menu the
Schubert orchestra gave delightful
program. The ladies were extended
a rising vote of thanks at the con-
clusion of the banquet for the splen
did manner in which the diners were
served '.t.
