chine and hurried to limo, where his
injury was dressed. A cash several
inches long was found on his cheek,
extending into his scalp, but it was
not deep enough to be considered seri-
Gus. Several stitches, however, were
necessary to close the injury.
He believes the assailant attempted
to rob him and then escape in the ma
chine The man was stranger to the
druggist, AMI was able to take adj
vantage of the druggist by his cordial
manner. He spoke as he approached
and the commented upon what he
pretended to believe was a break
down.
The man was described as being
about six feet tall, of medium build
and wore a dark suit Of clothing. The
attack occurred about three miles from
limo, or seven miles from Cape Cir
ardeau. Mr.. Hollenbeck reached his
home shortly after 10 o'clock.

CHICKEN THIEF PURSUED
Patrolman Gfoce Called to st. Francis
Hospital by Sisters.

The Sisters at st. Francis Hospital
were aroused last night at about II
o'clock by hearing a commotion in
their chicken sheds.
Policeman John Groce was called by
telephone, and in company with Anton
Haas, hurried to the hospital.
Before they arrived at their destina-
ton they could hear the chickens
squawking, and when they reached the
premises they attempted to pass
through the building to the poultry
yards in the rear.
The door leading to the yards was
locked and the officer is of the belief
that when an effort was made to open
the door, the intruder became alarmed
and made his escape.
While the extent of the theft could
not be ascertained, it is believed that
a number of chickens were stolen.

THUG IS USED AS
TARCETBY DRUGGIST
Stanley Hollenbeck of limo,
Attacked on Country Road,
Shoots at Man.

Stanley Hollenbeck, a druggist of
limo, was attacked by highwayman
on the Rock Levee road late Saturday
night, while on his way home from a
visit in this city. Had it not been for
the fact that he was armed and was
able to defend himself, he believes he
would have been killed.
Mr.. Hollenbeck stopped his automo-
bile to repair one of the lamps, which
had been extinguished by the wind,
and while he was relighting it, a
stranger passed and spoke to Mr. Hol-
lenbeck. He greeted the salutation and
supposed that the man passed on. In
stead he walked around the car and
approached the druggist from the rear.
Just as Mr.. Hollenbeck attempted to
enter the car, the man struck him over
the head with blunt instrument. He
was knocked down, but the blow only
dazed him and he drew out his revol-
yer and fired upon his antagonist.
He shot five times, but neither bull
let took effect. The man ran into a
cluster of underbrush and disappeared.
Mr.. Hollenbeck climbed into his ma

Canned String
Beans B1owup,
Wasting Crop
Harry Barber Finds Utensil
Frothing at Mouth, In
spects it and Causes
Defamation.

M. and Mrs. Harry Barber, take
great pride in the splendid garden
they have grown this year at their
home on Bessie street, and for time
were puzzled as to how to make dis
position of the enormous crop of string
beans they had raised
Mrs. Barber finally concluded to
try canning them, and her husband
thought the idea a good one. He sent
out dozen Mason jars and when he
returned that evening noticed that
they had all been filled and sealed and
placed in tempting array on shelf il
the cellar.
A few days later while looking over
his winter store of canned goods, Mr.
Barber discovered that one of the
bean jars was frothing at the mouth
He picked it up and after looking it
over carefully, gave it sudden shake.
The result was instantaneous, the can
of beans exploded and the contents
were scattered all through the cellar
The percussion caused the next one
to go in the same manner and so on
down the line, until the shelf was jar
red loose, permitting the remaining
cans to fall to the concrete floor where
they united in Joint explosion, de-
stroying the last hope for string beans
next winter.

NEGRO BOY, Is, Is
RARECHECK FORCER
Lad C0nfesses He Wrote Former
Employers Signature and
Passed Checks.

William Alexander, a 13-year-old
negro boy living in the north section
of the city, when confronted with a
fraudulent check drawn on n. Taper,
local shoemaker, confessed to having
forged the signature of Mr.. Tapper-to
three checks for So each, two of which
he had already converted into cash.
Alexander was employed by Mr..
Taper for several months during
which time he attended to his en-
ployers correspondence and other cler-
ical work, and became thoroughly
familiar with his signature. After
leaving the employ of Mr.. Taper, he
went to work for P. Gold, a Main
street merchant.
He confesses to having stolen a
number of blank checks from Mr..
Colds check book.
Alexander admitted that he forged
the name of Mr. Taper to a check
dated June IL, payable to Claud Cay
to, whose Endorsement was also forged
on the back, and which check was cash.
ed by C. Wielpuetz.
Another check for the same amount
was cashed by the First National
Bank, and when another one was pre-
sented by small boy named Giles,
the cashier, Mr.. Summers, had him de-
tanned, and after questioning him for
a little while, felt justified in having
the Alexander boy brought in for in
vestigation.
Constable Scivally located the lad
and brought him before Mr.. Summers,
who succeeded in getting a complete
confession from him.
The victims of the youthful forger
were reimbursed by the mother, hard
working negro woman who promised
to look after her son more carefully
if permitted to make good the losses
and take him home with her.
When searched, Alexander carried
blank check in an envelope, presum-
ably for future use. The envelope was
identified as one belonging to Mr.. Gold
and when his check book was examin-
ed it was found that besides the
checks accounted for by the stubbs,
the three that were proven to be for
geries, and the one that the negro
carried in his pocket, there is still an
other to be accounted for, and while |
he denies having forged the fourth |
one, his word is doubted and careful |
lookout is being maintained in order |
that it might be detected if presented |
for payment.
