NJ CLELLAND AND
MERCER BOTH
SATISFIED
Six-Round Fight. Claimed as
Victory by Each. SOotheS
Principals Hot Blood.

John E. McCleUand, lawyer AND mill
tant politician. and Jesse Mercer, the
state game warden who gained fame
by putting the hbosh on all fish and
game stories. both declared to-day that
they were satisfied with the result Of
the fast and furious fight in Lycett s
store. 20 Whitehall street, last evening
an which they we're the principals. But
there are some blunt contradictions IN
the two stories Of what happened.
The preIiminaries were almost as
spirited az the main bout, according
TO the details gained from the various
parties to-day Round by round the
affair went this way.
Round l. Claiming that D. A. Tobias,
who occupied part of the store as a
ldeweler was carrying away his goods
at night despite the fact that he owed
S4475 on a rent contract, F.. c. Lycett
levied on the goods Mr.. Tobias HE'D
TO Attorney McClelland and employed
him.
Round Two.
Round 2. Mr.. Lycett secured court
order for the sale OF the property and
Jesse Mercer bought it at auction for
S6Tb. An inventory OF the property
by Mr. Tobias amounted to S8.1ll. Mr..
Mercer said he would take $7l1 for the
roods. but on the advice Of Attorney
McClelland Mr. Tobias and his wife
went TO Mr.. MERGERS office in the capt.
hoI and demanded return OF the prop
srty on the valuation, s3,717 The mo-
live for the real fight was inspired
when Mr. Mercer, after hot argu-
rnent. ordered him from his office.
Round Attorney McClelland called
Warden Mercer over the phone at Ly-
cetts store. Warden Mercer refused
TO discuss the matter over the phone.
But he had not cooled down from re-
tusing before Attorney McClelland
walked In.
Round 4. They locked arms at the
door in that fierce friendly way men
shake hands Just after a fight and
strolled toward the rear Of the store.
The remainder Of this round was
sparring Of words
Round Five.
Round 5 Further evidences of
friendliness and craftsmanship were
evidenced by the fact that Warden
Mercer fingered Attorney McClelland's
fraternity pin and commented on wha;
a pretty pin it was. Yes, noble was
Attorney McClelland's reply
But YOU are a snyster lawyer con-
tinued Warden Mercer Attorney Nc
Cierand countered with a straight blow
10 the face
Round s. There are 80 many con
ficting reports about this round that II
is puzzle Attorney McClelland says
that he knocked Warden Mercer down
and was then held while Warden Mer-
Ger brought blood. Warden Mercer
says the attorney has no punch, and
that he won an easy victory. Mr. Ly-
cett says he pulled Warden Mercer off
OF Attorney McCleland. and that the
decision easily goes to the warden AS
Ia the experience OF Lou Castro as ref
cree at professional bouts, though, 1t
seems that Mr. Lycett got the worst of
the fight. 1t is said that Lou as referee
always fights harder than either of the
pugs. Mr. Lycett has a broken show
case.

ROAD INSPECTION
TO IMPROVE CONDITION
Supervisor Young and County EnsI-
neer Bannon Viewing the
Argyle Road.

The work of lettering the condition

pushed forward with energy and good
Judgment. This morning Supervisor

Bannon, county engineer. left the
city for a trip from Keokuk by the
way of Mooar. to Argyle, to give
thorough inspection of the county road
leading from this city to Argyle, with
the view of giving that road the re-
pairs and rebuilding which 1t badly
needs In order to make 1t service
able thoronghfare of traffic and travel
for the people residing at Argyle and
along the entire route, and to the
general public.
After this inspection by Supervisor
Young and County Engineer Bannon,
plans will be speedily made for It's
careful and substantial working and

Best Way to Use
Butfernilk for Beauty
(From The Clubwoman.)

Any woman can improve her COM
plexion wonderfully over night Just
by a simple buttermilk application.
The cleansing, softening and whiten-
ing properties of buttermilk are pref.
ty well understood, but 1t is not gem
orally known that to allow the appli.
cation to stay on for an extended
period of seven or eight hours will
accomplish such remarkable and
quick results. OF course much de-
ponds upon how 1t is done. BY far
the most effective way is to use pre-
solated buttermilk paste. Spread this
over the fact quite literally, gently
rubbing it III, just before retiring. In
the morning wash 1t off with cold
water, using no soap. Those who try
this are agreeably surprised at the
overnight transformation. Nearly
everyone looks younger. 1t Is an in.
dication of what may be expected
from continuous use of such treat
ment
PresolatedN buttermilk paste is used
more and more for freckles, tan. sal
lowness and redQess, both because of
its effectiveness aYd its harmlessness.

BOAT SINKS BUT
CREW ESCAPES
sGardie Eastman" Tow Boat and
Well Known Craft Goes
Down Near
Quincy.
N sNAG CAUSE OF ACCIDENT
Boat Does Not Co Entirely Under Wa.
ter and Crow Is Rescued
In Gasoline
Launch.
I

QUINCY, Ill, July 1.-THE Gardie
Eastman" tow boat and one OF the
best known crafts on the upper Mis-
sissippi. sank yesterday afternoon st
4 o'clock in fifteen feet OF water when
a snag was encountered In East
Chute. five miles north Of Quincy.
The boat went down rapidly and In
half hour was under water that ex-
tended up to her boiler deck All
members of the crew escaped and
were later brought to Quincy in a
gasoline launch.
The 'Gardie," as she is known to
river men, is owned by Capt "A. ".
Fetter, government contractor. She
is one Of the oldest boats on the river
and for years has piled between st.
Louis and Burlington. During tho
greater part OF the past two summers
she has. worked in the immediate
vicinity Of Quincy where Capt. Fetter
has fulfilled contracts for building
dykes.
Among river men the "Gardie" has
the reputation of being one Of the
fastest tow boats. While she Is own
ed by Capt. Fetter, her crew of four
teen men have for some time been
under the direction Of Capt Frank
Wilson and he was in charge yester-
day when the accident occurred.
The place where the "Gardie"
4 went down is considered one of the
most dangerous spots on the river.
East Chute Is about halfway between
! Quincy and La Grange and is dreaded
by all pilots because Of the ragged
snags that barely protrude above the
surface OF the water.
When the accident yesterday oc.
Cured the boat was towing a heavy
raft Of willows. The snag was invis-
ible to the pilot and before he knew
4 what had happened there was crash
and hole over two feet in circum-
\ ference had been torn In the boats
! bow. She sank rapidly and when it
was seen that she was doomed, mem
bers of the crew sought the top deck
i realizing that the water was not o.
sufficient depth to cover the entire
i two decks and pilot house.
/ The. craft is now moored fast on a
bar and unless the river raises sew,
eral feet, will not be disturbed or cast
adrift
4 1t will be several days before ar
rangements to raise the "Gardie" are
complete and it will require possibly
two weeks to get her hull level with
the water. The boat is said to be In
sured but 1t is not known what
amount of insurance is carried on
her.

Dandruff Dangers and
The Oatmeal Shampoo

Dandruff is a disagreeable thing to
see. It makes the scalp itchy. It in
terferes with health and growth of
the hair. 1t causes falling of hair
and premature grayness.
Shampooing at regular intervals is
the best way to get rid Of dandruff.
-paradoxical as this sounds-it Is
the best way to produce dandruff. |
refer to the usual methods Of wash
ing with shampoo mixtures, soaps,
etc, containing much alkali and 9th
er harmful elements. Ingredients like
these which inflame, irritate or rob
the scalp OF It's natural oil, are
bound to aggravate a dandruffy CON
dition.
You can prepare safe, helpful
shampoo with nothing but caxined
oatmeal compound and hot water q
teaspoonful Of the former stirred into
a cupful Of water. Shampoo with
this, then rinse thoroughly, and your
head will feel cleaner than ever be-
fore. This eliminates dandruff with
out making more. The caxined oat-
meal compound, which any druggist
can supply, besides being non-injuri-
GUS, makes as fine a hair beautifier
as any Of the expensive preparations.

No Cause Can be AscrIbed for the
Rash Act-Was Widely
Known In This
County.

Jacob Haffner, we'll known farm
er in Lee county, committed suicide
at his home. two and one-half miles
north Of Donnellson, this morning
about $3.50 O'Clock by hanging. No
cause can be ascribed for the act.
Haffner's body was found by his
son, hanging In the barn. who i'm
mediately cut Elm down, thinking at
that time that he was not dead "A
doctor was summoned and other
help came but the man was dead. 1t
was thought that he had been hanging
for at least an hour and life was ex-
tinct when the body was cut down.
Mr.. Haffner was about sixty-eight
years Of age and possessed a wide
acquaintanceship and relationship
throughout the entire county. He was
a brother of John Haffner, former
supervisor of Lee county. There are
several surviving members of his
family.
The dead man was known to his
friends as being rather eccentric, al
though very well informed and
capable man. He possessed fail
health and 1t is not thought that he
was oppressed by financial worries
Friends are at loss to account FOL
his rash action.
Coroner Korschgen left this after
noon for the Haffner home but nc
inquest before jury will be hello
because there seems to be no doubt
as to the fact that he met his death
at his own hand.
