SCHOOL BOARD MEETING
Grade Teachers Re-empIoyed
Excepting One--AthIet,
les Cut

Athletics, which the school
board claim were abused have
been cut from the list of enjoy.
ments at the Keytesville High
School.
This action was taken at the
meeting of the school board
Tuesday night when the board
said, with a few words, that
athletics would no longer be a
part of the regular business OF
the school. They claim that
athletics have taken precedence
of the academic studies and
therefore they will have none
of it.
The board tried to regulate
athletics but they claim their
efforts abortive. Falling to
regulate it, they have abolished
it. There will be no more COM
petitive track meets or athletic
exhibitions of any kind here
after.
The employments of teachers
was another question. The
board had a long discussion and
finally wound up about 11:3O p.
m. by electing the same teachers
with the exception of one. The
instructors employed in t h e
grades next year are Misses 10
Martin, Lou Staples, Lois Han
cock and Elizabeth White. Miss
Willie Davis, teacher of the
eighth grade was dropped from
the list of teachers. Her grade
the eighth, will be placed under
the high school instructors. The
grade continues to exist but will
be given the benefit of instruction
by the corps of high school
teachers.
One more teacher was employ
ed-Miss Gilbert, a sister of
Miss Ruth Gilbert. Miss Gilbert
comes from Warrensburg, Mo.
and will have as her department
the teaching of History and
possibly English.
The board has taken another
step and added the agricultural
course to the studies in the
school. This is under the new
law which entities this school to
$500 fund for the support of the
course. The board has not yet
decided on the course of study
but this will be decided later.

A PRISONER WALKS OUT
UngratefuI James Doyle, Bur-
glar, Ignores Bath
Prefers Freedom

/ James Doyle, who has been in
the county Jail for two months
for robbing hardware store al
i Dalton, took French leave Of
Sheriff O'Bryan, Friday and at
last reports, Monday, was still at
large.
Doyle asked to have a bath
Friday afternoon. The sheriff
permitted him to go to the bath
room which is outside the jail
cage" The sheriff left the
building a few moments and
when he came back, the man
was gone.
!; 1t was about 4:3O p. m. when
4 Doyle asked the bath privileges.
\ The sheriff permitted him to go
to the bathroom and he was pre-
pairing to bathe when the sheriff
was called to the barn to hitch a
horse. The sheriff shut the out
side door Of the jail and turned
the key, it is said, but the lock
failed to work, whereupon Doyle
donned his clothing and walked
out, minus a bath, plus freedom.
The escape was a bold one and
coolly undertaken. Doyle as
sumed the role of a lesiurely
visitor and walked out of the
yard, down the road to the turn
to the Musselfork then went
down the hill in a moderate
walk. 1t is surmised he went
some" when he got under cover
and later, after nightfall, board
ed train for foreign parts.
Preston Wright said he saw
the man leave the Jail. He said
visitors at the Jail were plentiful
and their appearance was moth
ing to evoke surprise. There
fore, when he saw a man walk
leisurely out of the Jail yard and
stroll down the hill he went back
to his work satisfied that some
one in the world had a clear con-
science and capacity to enjoy
leisurely walks.
Search was made and the
sheriff offered a reward of $25
for the rearrest of the man.
Bent on getting this money Will
Moore and Jim Worsham of the
local constabulary boarded the
midnight train Friday for Mo-
berly. They secured the aid of
three policemen and waited in
the railroad yards for Doyle to
get off a train. When freight
train No. Ia rolled into the yards
from the west at 5 q. m. the
waiting officers were awarded by
the sight of four hoboes. Two
of them got off and stopped.
Two others got off and started
to run. The officers were after
them.
The race began right when the
men imperilled their lives by|
deliberately rolling under the
moving train and gaining the
other side in safety. The Of
ficers lacked the nerve. After
the train rolled by the officers
sighted both men. One looked
like Doyle and the other didn't.
They started after them. The
man that looked like Doyle was
the speediest and when the
two men parted their way, the
officers winded, went after the
|slowest man and finally after al
long chase through Niger
town" caught him. He proved
to be not the one wanted. The
officers returned to Keytesville
on No. 8 Saturday with a long
string Of anecdotes.

ONE BUSY CITY COUNCIL
Aldermen Order Municipal
House Cleaning After
the Dogs

right busy Monday night. II
went after the Spring house
cleaning which was badly needed
in the city and also started ir
motion the plan to rid the town
Of some of the multitudinous
Of the dogs that infest the streets
giving it all the appearance of q
street in Constantinople before
the recent Bulgarian deluge.
The councilmen also have &C.
complished something else. They
have started the street lamps.
The clerk, Mr.. Mason, also says
that he is going to provide for 9
press report of every meeting Of
the council as the people will
know just what their agents are
ioing. The new council looks
like a live one-more strength
to its arm.
The marshal was ordered to
make a tour of investigation OF
the business district and see
that alleys were cleaned back OF
business blocks and kept clean.
The sanitary conditions are far
from being ideal and the council
wants to improve them as much
as possible.
The canine population, about
the noisiest part of it, came in
for its share Of attention. People
who have lain awake of nights
for a week or two, kept awake
by the dog serenade. are getting
tired of this music. The city
marshal has been given a list of
dog-owners and the license on
the dogs will be collected. With
the license goes a dog tag and
and those who wish to play safe
with their dogs will attach a
said tag to said canine. Other
wise he or she may come into
the direct line of the marshaPs
gun which will soon be unlimber-
ed for action.
Then, the street lights which
have been existing in innocuous
desuetude for some time have
been brought into play again.
The effulgence of their rays was
noted Monday night for the first
time. Quite a few lights are
out Of use because of defects but
these will be brought into repair
soon and the council expected to
have all lighted in a few nights.
They will be lighted about 7:3O
and extinguished at 1890 p. m.
That seems a little early but it is
better by far than no lights and
the lights do help considerably.
The superintendent of the light
plant is figuring on installing an
electric system of lighting the
lamps as soon as this can be in
vestigated. If this works.. the
lamps can be lighted and extin-
guished by pushing a single
button. The lights will cost the
city about $50 per month, it is
estimated.
Five corcrete crossings, to
make the muddy places dry,
were ordered. One is to con-
meet Richardson & ElIiott's of
flee to the court house walk;
another will be across the road

WAYLAAD STARS At MEET
Second Only to Simpson as
Sensational Point
Winner

Keytesville was represented at
the tenth annual interscholastic
meet at Columbia, Saturday,
when Wayland ran second TO
Simpson of Bosworth in starring
Individually at this big contest.
Simpson made 13 points for Bos-
worth and Wayland 8 for Key
tesville. The work of both men
was varied in quality and gave
them the lead a 8 sensation
makers.
! Wayland won the high hurdle
of 12O yard in 1916 seconds.
He took second to Simpson the
Bosworth noise, in the broad
jump this jump going to Simp-
son with % ft. 3-3-4 in. break
ing the state record of q #. 6
in. Wayland got second place
with a jump better than 21 feet
and in one made q #. II in. be-
ing disqualified in this mark be-
cause he left the jump by STEP
ping to one side and back in
stead of stepping forward.
In the discus, Jim Lee Thrash
did his best but he had a strange
bit of medal and wood to handle
and could do nothing with it.
The mark of ia feet put him
out of the running for first but
he figures he ought to have TAX
en- his own discus with him and
regrets he did not.
There were many regrets that
the meet was not so regulated
that Wayland could have enter
ed the 100-yard dash. Schwabe.
who was run neck and neck at
the local meet by Wayland when
the latter was set back several
feet won the race at Columbia
in 1885. This was a fifth of a
second better than the time here
on much slower track. Way
land ought to have run second at
least in this event, perhaps first.
This would have given him IL
individual points. 1t looks like
a shame that he could not get in
to this event and take it. The
reason he did not was the fear
that the numerous prelimiuaries
in this event in which there
were more than 100 entries
would put him out of shape for
his hurdle and jump where a
little slowing up would have lost
his points. With a straight
race, no preliminaries, Wayland
would have shown in the 100
yard, strong. Here's regrets
from the sport writer.
The 100-yard dash is one re-
'gret. Yet, Wayland showed
strong and his winning of one
first and second, with our know
ledge Of his ability in the 100
yard dash, puts him with the
topnotchers of the meet. A sill
yer cup as the trophy for his first
and a sterling silver medal which
will adorn a watch fob. marks
the second place won.
The Kansas City Manual Train
