the Miller children who sang Ala
bam.' .Those who attended report
that their song was really a delightful
little bit of acting and the piece alone
well worth the price Of admission"
The Miller children here referred to
are grandchildren of our old friend,
Nj. o. @. Morris, of Des Arc.
Several negro hod carriers from st.
Louis arrived here last Wednesday,
intending to work on the new school
building, but "the boys" read the
"riot act' to them and they promptly
returned to st. Louis. "No negroes
allowed" is the unwritten law here.=

Mrs. O. D. Alexander was summoned
to Reynolds county a week ago last
Saturday by the announcement that
her brother, Wade Hampton had been
seriously injured in a wreck On the
Missouri Southern Railroad. The fol-
lowing account of the accident is tax
en- from the last issue Of the Ellington
Press: "In a wre ok that occurred just
north of Fruit City last Saturday
Wade Hampton had an arm broken
and Bob Harris was badly injured in
the feet and legs. Harris and Hamp-
ton, brakemen, were both on top of a
freight car that jumped the track.
When the front trucks left the rail
the car turned over, throwing the two
men out against a pile of ties on the
right of-way. The engine was imme-
diately detached and sent here for
medical assistance. After DR.. Chiffon
had dressed their wounds they were
brought here where they remained
until the next day when they were
sent on to their homes at Ruble and
Garwood. At last reports they were
getting along nicely"
Sheriff Sharp last Friday threw the
locally notorious Shrum woman in
Jail and then went to Monroe City and
returned Tuesday with young Umfeet
who with the woman is charged by,
Sharp with burning the Madison Hotel
here a few years ago. We are in
formed that with Umleet's arrest a
number of letters were found from
the Shrum woman which are very
valuable as evidence. 1t is commonly
reported around town that several
others will be implicated before the
affair is over The Shrum woman
Tuesday evening in the Office of E. D..
Anthony made a complete sworn con-
fession of her part of the affair and
on Wednesday morning Umfeet also
~confessed that he and the Shrum
woman's son actually committed the
deed. 1t is reported that several
others were namedi in the confessions
and that other arrests may be made
any minute. Town is full of rumors
and reports and there is scarcely any
thing else being talked on the streets.
A preliminary trial has not been de-
cided upon at time of going to press
and under the circumstances the
IDemocrat-News does not feel war
ranted in going further into the mat
ter as we r unable to distinguish be-
tween rumor and fact.-Frederick-
