More Street Lights

The city council closed a con-
tract with the Laclede Electric
Light company last Thursday for
street lighting for the next three
years. The contract calls for
twenty street lights, four more
than the old contract. Two of the
new lights will be on State street,
one opposite the residence of F. R.
Power and the other opposite the
residence of Alderman L. B. Jones.
Another of the new ones will be
located at the corner of Douglass
and Olive streets near the residence
of j. H. Nichols and the other at
the northwest corner of the school
house grounds. The new lights
will be put on just as soon as the
fixtures arrive. The light now
located near Biswell restaurant
will be moved to the corner at the
Hamilton lumber yard, the board
believing it would benefit more
people than at the present location.
More lights will be added just as
soon as the city revenue will per-
nit as several more are badly
needed.

Boy AccidentIy Shot

Ralph Linn, the fourteen year
old son of MIR. and Mrs. A. j.
Linn, had a miraculous escape from
being killed last Monday. About
noon he went to the home of Chas.
Hamill with a loaded revolver in
his pocket. While sitting in the
room he leaned forward and the
revolver dropped to the floor.
Buster Hamill, aged seven, picked
1t up and at the same time the
Linn boy grabbed for it and while
both had hold of it the weapon was
discharged, the ball striking the
Linn boy about one inch above the
right eye. Medical aid was sum-
moned at once but the ball could
not be located and the physicians
are not sure whether it is lodged in
the cavity or glanced on. Inc BOY
was not even knocked down by the
bullet and has been up and around
the house and does not seem to be
suffering any great amount from
the wound. The cartridge was a
% short.
Prowling around the neighbor-
hood with a cigarette in his mouth
and a loaded revolver in his pocket
doesn't seem to The BLADE to be
exactly the right place fora boy of
fourteen or any other age, and
where parents are unable, or fail,
to correct such evils the law should
be invoked. Missouri has special
school prepared for just such lads
as the Linn boy.

will be.
