BURsELL AGAIN ON TRIAL.
Former Polk County Farmer Il
Charged With Murder.

Clarence o. Bursell, formerly a
farmer near Bridgeport in this coun-
ty, went on trial for the second time
In Marion county yesterday. He is
charged with murder in the second
degree. The first trial of this case
attracted wide interest on account of
the wide acquaintance of both Bur-
sell and Charles C. Zimmerman, the
deceased. The trial required five days
and the jury was unable to agree on
a verdict, standing seven for acquit-
tai and five for conviction. A special
venire of thirty men was drawn for
this second trial and forty-five men
were examined in the first trial be-
fore the jury was selected. A large
of witnesses, were called by
both sides in the controversy and it
is expected that some new testimony
will be introduced in this trial.

ANTIQUE JEWELRY
HAS BEEN STOLEN
Famous Noyes Jewels and st. Gaud
ems Coins Taken From Art
Institute.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Police sought
in dingy pawnshops tonight for the al.
most priceless antique jewels stolen
from the Chicago Art institute today,
but private detectives directed their
search into the collections of art
Iconnoisseurs
That an insane collector Of antiques,
with mad passion to possess the
famous Moves jewels and st. Gaud-
ems coins, planned the raid and paid
the burglars for their work, was one
theory.
A mans shoe and sock, found in
the path the robbers took, left mys-
itifying clue.
Laverne W. Noyes, multi-millionaire
donor of the collection, said tonight
the Jewels were worth perhaps sl5,-
900 intrinsically, but their value to a
collector cannot be estimated. The
same is true, said experts, of the three
st. Gauden's coins, original models
for rejected American gold pieces.
That these coins had been stolen was
not discovered until late today.

Red Cross Seals
Help to PreDe,,t
Cases Like This

A true story from an Indiana city
shows how Red Cross Christmas seals
might help right here In this commun-
/. ity.
John Allison was fairly prosperous.
He held a good position In the mills.
Two years ago he married girl Of
his choice, and they were happy. Ten
! months after he was married, John
paid the last installment on his home,
a coy, six-room bungalow.
Every highland the habit seemed
to stick even after the months OF
married lffe-Mrs. Allison met John
with kiss and hug and happy
smile as he returned from work.
| About year ago little Dorothy joined
| the family group. The atmosphere in
this little home was delightfully."- har-
monious. A nest egg for the rainy
day" began to assume comfortable
proportions.
I'm worried about Jim Cole" said
John one evening as he smoked hts
pipe, when his wife cleared up the
| kitchen. He coughs, and can tell
he Is getting weak, because he goes
off in corner and sits down to rest
every hour or two"
! A few nights later, John brought
home the news that Jim was sick at
home. Then he began to spend many
of his evenings at the bedside OF his
pal. The doctor, called in too late,
| pronounced the disease tuberculosis.
It wasn't many months until John,
too. began to cough. and he smiled
with more and more of an effort as
he sank down into an easy chair to
rest when he reached home from
work. A romp with baby Dorothy
soon tired him out Suddenly 1t
] dawned upon him that he was going"
the same way Jim did. The doctor
looked grave when at last he went &c
the family physician with his trouble.
You must give up your work at
once" he said Even then II you let
me do everything l can for you, the
chance of your recovery is mighty
slim" To shorten a long story, John
had waited too long. His little nest
egg dwindled away. A month ago his
broken-hearted widow hid her face In
little Dorothy's curls as the clods be-
gan to fall on the earthly remains OF
the husband. She was poorly fitted
for life's work. Little Dorothy Is now
being supported through public funds
while her mother washes other peO-
pies linen and scrubs other peoples
floors In time she, too, will undoubt-
edly become public charge.
In getting" tuberculosis from Jim.
who had gotten 1t from somebody
else, John was changed from pro
ducing member Of society, high
class citizen and an asset for any
community, to liability. Interest
on the liability will be paid for years
to come. And who can estimate in
dollars and cents the value of that
happy home broken up prematureiy
by this most terrible and relentless
OF all preventable diseases-tubercu-
losis.
How many inns and Johns are
there in our community? Every Red
Cross seal you buy helps to educate
your friends and neighbors to pre-,
vent tuberculosis. provides relief and
help for those who suffer. and Sc
cures adequate provision for the
control OF the spread Of the disease
from the sick to the we'll. Buy Red
Cross seals for your own sake and tor
your community's sake.
