Jackson Attorneys to Face Trial for
Cutting Off Head of Wrong
Corpse by Mistake

jackson, Miss, June 23.-(Special)
George Butler and Lamar Easterling,
the two Jackson attorneys arrested sew
eral days ago on the charge Of having
desecrated a grave in Smith county and
cutting off the head of man named
Hughes and bringing same home with
them, went to Trenton, Smith county, to-
day by auto, leaving here at 5 o'clock,
and making the 50-miles trip over horrible
roads in three hours, returning the same
way this afternoon.
Arriving at Trenton the Jackson party
hunted up members of the Hughes fam
lily, explained to them how the mistake
happened, made every possible apology
that gentlemen could make and offered
to settle the case against them most any
way. When the justice of the peace
called court together the schoolhouse in
which the session was held was filled to
Overlooking so great was the interest.
The defendants explained the situation to
the court, telling of how the wrong grave
had been pointed out to them by local
people, and convincing the court they
had intended no wrong when they cut
the head off of the elder Hughes instead
of the son.
II was agreed both defendants should
give bond in the sum of $500. preliminary
hearing being waived. ana that carries
the case to the grand jury in October.
BY that time it is believed all i'll feeling
will have died out and the case dropped

and the alarm soon brought the
fire department to the scene.
The blaze was on the roof of the

soon extinguished. AS only the

done, and that was covered by

A Library For Tupelo.

Within the next two or three
weeks the pupils of the public
school, assisted by Miss Deader-
ick's expression class and local
talent, will give an entertain
ment, the proceeds of which will
be devoted to the furnishing of
a library in the new high school
building. q
The pupils and faculty of the
school have decided to ask the
people of Tupelo to cooperate
with them in the establishment
of the library and make it a pub
}. lie institution in which every
citizen of the town shall have an
interest. In the carrying out OF
their plan they have the support
of the school authorities who
have given the use of a large
we'll lighted room with a beauti-
full southern exposure on the
second floor of the building, as a
home for the library.
The plan which has been SUBJ
mitted to several of the leading
organizations of the town, and
will be to others at their first
meeting, has met with most fiat
tering encouragement. Every
woman who is a member of any
organization, social, literary,
patriotic or religious, and those
who are not members of any but
who are interested in the prog
ress of the town. is asked to
contribute one dollar to this
cause, or as much more as she is
inclined to give.
Strangers who come to Tupelo
have words of heartiest prsise
for our little city. They speak
admirably of its cleanliness, its
good government, its paved
streets, it's beautiful homes,
churches and other public build
ings, but they say you have no
public library" Other towns in
Mississippi, far behind Tupelo in
many respects. have well equip
ped Libraries. Why shouldn't
we have one too? The promot-
ers of the present plan are try
ing. in a small way perhaps, to
remove from us this reproach.
Will not the public-spirited citi-
zens of Tupelo come to our aid
in the effort we are making?
Will not the men who gave glad
ly from one hundred to a thou
sand dollars to build a beautiful
home for the boys and young
men of the town give small sums
to establish a library for every
man, woman and child in the
town? Tupelo has never done
anything for her girls, and we
are not asking now that anything
be done for their benefit exclu-
sively, but that an institution be
established that they, as well as
every other citizen of the town,
may enjoy.
It has been asked when this
important work will be begun.
The answer is that it has begun
already: the first dollar is in the
treasury. and subscription lists
are open for others. Those who
subscribe to the fund may rest
assured that the money contrib
uted will be placed in the hands
Of committees thoroughly cap
able of expanding it wisely and
judiciously, and that q respon-
sible librarian will be in charge
who will care for the books and
keep the library open on stated
days for the use of the public.
