Trouble for Telephones

The telephone company has
been one of the sufferers by the
storms of the present week. A
flash of lightning burned out the
fuses in the box on the cable
line in front of the school house
and put a lot of phones on the
south and east side of town out
of commission until they could
be repaired. The wind of Tues
day night also broke a number
of poles which were replaced.

AT the annual meeLlnS Ot
former residents Of Bureau Co,
III. now residing in Charlton Co.,
Mo. held at the home of Mr.. @.
O. White, one and one half miles
north of Mendon, No., Thursday
August 27, 1914, the following
and their families were present;
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Palmer, Mr..
and Mrs. John Crisman, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. S. McNeall, Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. X. Ober, Mr.. and Mrs.

Misses Nellie and Anna 0ber,
Tracy Crisman and Warren 0ber.
Mrs. A. Foster and her two boys
of Buda, III. were welcome
visitors.
The guests commenced arriv-
ing at the pleasant home of Mr..
White on The National Trail at
about 9 a. m. and from that time
until noon the time was passed
in looking over the charming
modern house and handy barns
of Mr.. White and visiting with
friends who had not met since
the proceeding year. The dinner
was laid on tables set in the
shade of some fine trees and it
was such a dinner as only the
Missouri housewives know how
to prepare. After eating all
they could, several of the men
tried to beat the pie-eating
record for the county held by
Charles Riley Of near Westville
the successful contestant claims
he tied Riley, ate twelve pieces.
the unsuccessful contestants
claim he counted one piece twice
and only ate eleven. We will
not mention his name as he is
such a slim man it didn't seem
possible.
After dinner there was music
in the house by Mrs. Emma
Magruder and Misses Faith and
Irma White. The host passed
around cigars to the men on the
porch and about everything vas
discussed from the deficiencies
of the present primary law to
who had saved the most chinch
bugs for seed.
About four O'Clock the
photographer showed up on a
motorcycle and in showing off
ran into a tree and bent the
forks (of the machine) when
asked why he didn't run into a
wire fence he said anybody
could run into a fence but it
showed artistic ability to run in
to a tree" After several
pictures WEIR taken the guests
gathered at the tables and in
dulged in ice cream, cake, water
melon and musk melon. at six
O'Clock they departed for home
having had one of the pleasant
meeting held BY the organization.
Right here tits well to note
the continued Improvement of
the roads in the sixteen miles
travelled by the writer. The
road was graded up and ditched
with the exception of one mile.
In the sixteen miles were eleven
concrete culverts and three iron
bridges and material was on
hand for another concrete cul-
vert. Three years ago there
was but one concrete culvert and
two iron bridges. There was as
noticeable Improvement in the
farm houses and buildings as in
the reads. there were ten siIos
along the road all built in the
last two years.

FAKE HORSE BUYER
Joe W. Elson Of Dewitt Buys
But Don't Pay


son of Dewitt came to the Adam
q Tisdale livery. barn at this
place and hired a saddle horse to
90 to the farm of Pet Hart north
Of this city to get a pair of
mules. He bot the mules of
Hart, gave his check for $500 on
the Wilcoxen bank Of Carrollton
for them and with Hart to help
him, started for his home with
his purchase. Hart left him
about Indian Grove and return
ed home.
Saturday afternoon Hart came
to town and undertook to cash the
check at the Bank of Keytesville.
The cashier called up the bank
on which it was drawn, and was
Informed that there were not
sufficient funds on deposit with
which to pay it. When the
check was turned down, Hart
hired an automobile and headed
for Dewitt to get his money or
the mules. Elson had sent the
horse hired of Adams & Tisdale
back to them, having ridden the
mare from Up. m. Friday to l
p. m. Saturday, about 20 miles.
and when she landed in the barn
here, it was a question whether
she would ever be able to walk
out again, being nearly COM
pletely done up. When Hart
struck out to see about his
mules, Edgar Tisdale of the firm
owning the mare, thot he had
better go along and see about
the pay for the use of the an
imal, and also have some under
standing with the rough rider
about the way she had been
used. Arrived at Dewitt, Tis-
dale saw Elson in a barber shop,
and he and Hart went in for an
interview. Elson offered Tisdale
a check for the use of the mare
and the damage to her, which
was refused as Hart had one of
the same kind which was worth
less. Elson then offered to go
to his fathers house and make
the checks good, and the three
struck out in the automobile for
the senior Elson's place, about
two miles in the country. On
the road an argument was start
ed, and TisdAle not liking the
nature of it collared Elson and
proceeded to strip him for a
good drubbing when the bunco
dealer in live stock broke away
and jumped from the machine
while it was going about 20 miles
an hour. He made his escape
much to the disgust of Tisdale
and the others in the car, Hart,
Jas. Cameron, AL Wilks, who
proceeded to the senior Elson
place followed by young Elson
and his brother, who had picked
him up on the road. The senior
Elson refused to make the check
for the mules good, and Hart
took them and returned home,
after Joe Elson had taken back
the bogus check for $500 and
given him one for $40 to cover
expenses. Payment of the $40
check was stopped by Elson so
Pet Hart had all his fun for
nothing.
Adams & Tisdale have pro-
cured a warrant for Joe Elson,
charging him with cruelty to
animals. Elson was informed
by Adams & Tisdale at the time
he hired the mare that she was
out Of fix, having been in a
hospital for a month, but he
declared he intended TO go not
more than two or three miles
and would use her right. So far
the warrant has not been served
on account of the whereabouts
of Elson not being known, but
Chief Tisdale would about as
soon have a good chance to ex-
change fistic courtesies with Ell
