Hannibal, Mo-, Oct. 3O.-Corneli-
us McGillicuddy of st. Louis direct
ed an attack here early yesterday
morning on Bradley B. Huff, staff
correspondent of the rGloba-Demo-
crat.
McGillicuddy, who is better known
to the police around saloons and in
the underworld, as Cuddy Mack,
called Huff out of the Mark Twain
Hotel at 1 o'clock, telling him he
had some important information to
impart.
AS soon as Huff was around the
corner, in the dark, McGullicuddy
gave a signal to three men, who had
been stationed in dark doorway and
the men pounced on Huff.
The three men hit the correspond
ent several times about the face, be-
Tore he could get back into the hotel.
He was not seriously injured.
Huff said he could not imagine
why McCullicuddy had chosen him
as the object of a gang beating.
McCullicuddy has not been prom
inent in public print since the time
when Josph w. Folk was running for
governor. Then, Folk alluded to
him often, facetiously.
McGillicuddy is a well known
character in the vicinity of Sixth and

MEXICANS ARE
CELEBRATING
INDEPENDENCE
Of MEXICO
(By Associated Press.)

San Benito, Texas, Sept. s.
Today the Mexicans begin the cele-
bration of the anniversary Of the in
dependence of Mexico, which was
ushered in with disturbed conditions
here and firing into Simontown, near
Laredo. Reports that Mexicans
would attack this town today caused
heavy patrol of soldiers to be sent
here. If the Mexicans intended to
attack they changed their plans,
probably because of the soldiers.
Cavalry and infantry are to remain
here several days, however. Patrols
all along the border are strengthened
and a sharp watch is being kept.
