mrs, BAUMANN dies
AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Pioneer Was Born in Bavaria
Almost 80 Years Ago
Left Seven Children.

Mrs. Christian Baumann, one Of the
oldest and best known residents OF
Cape Girardeau County, died at St
Francis Hospital at 4:30 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon. Had she lived two
months longer, Mrs. Baumann would
have celebrated her 50 birthday.
Her demise was due to 4 complica-
ton of diseases, but old age played q
prominent part. While she had not
been in good health for several months,
her condition did not become critical
until a few weeks ago, when she was
stricken suddenly and for several days
she battled between life and death. Mr..
and Mrs. Alois thinner, her daughter
and son-in-law, were visiting in Texas
and were summoned home by tele-
graph.
A few days after the arrival home
of Mr.. and Mrs. thinner, the aged
woman's condition grew better, and
continued TO improve until it was be-
lieved she would recover from the at
tack.
Two days ago, she suffered sink
ing spell, and gradually grew weaker.
She had been unconscious at times dur
ing the afternoon yesterday, and at
4:30 o'clock, she passed away.
Mrs. Baumann was born in Rhenish,
Bavaria, and moved to the United
States when she was q young woman.
When she came to Cape Girardeau it
was but village, hardly more than a
trading post.
Mrs. Baumann is survived by seven
children, seventeen grandchildren and
nine great-grandchildren.
Her children are: Leo and Robert
Baumann, of Belleville, H.; William
Bauman, Of this city; Mrs. Josephine
Schultz, Of st. Louis; Mrs. Charles
MESSENGER, Mrs. Alois thinner and
Mrs. Theodore Bauerle of this city.
The funeral services will be held
from the home of Alois thinner, at
SIC Good Hope street, but definite ar
engagements have not been made. Fa-
Their Pruente, pastor of st. Mary's
Catholic Church, of which Mrs. Bau-
man was one Of the oldest members,
will deliver the funeral Grafton.

When They Find Quarry
In a Hole.

Details Of how Russell Dearmont,
Wade Kochtitzky and Harry Newcomb
tried to reach the hollow tree lair of n
raccoon last Saturday night on q So
ciety coon hunt" by building 4 ''hu-
man pyramid" up the side of the coon's
home, yesterday was related to The
Tribune.
The young Cape society men-ath-
letes, everyone of them-manfully
constructed their living ladder up
which professional guide scrambled
in an endeavOr to route out one of the
two coOns that the crowd had freed.
The guide squirmed his way to the
top of the tree trunk and found that
the coon's home was an affair that
extended back down to the very roots
of the giant tree, so that the party
was forced to abandon the hunt empty
handed.
There were twelve young men and
women in the party who were initiated
into the mysteries of the "coon and
possum hunters association of South
east Missouri"
They left the Cape in two motor
cars early in the evening and went
down the Rock Levee road. After
meeting the guides they abandoned the
road and struck into the hills for their
hunting. The chief guide cast his
"weather-eye" into the sky and select
ed the high ground for the proceed
ings.
There's more cOons in the low
lands" he ingraciously remarked, "but
the coons are not used TO so much
company. They might get scared and
run away. Anyway, it's going to rain
and the lowlands will be wetter.
The guides dog did his share. He
freed two animals, but each was in
hollow tree that was impossible. On
the second time the hunters reached
the dog and found him pointing up
sapling about three feet in diameter,
Russell said:
81 think We ought to make an extra
effort to get this one. I'm going after
him.

you can't reach around it," quizzed

bottom" Wade kochtitzky injected

Ruby Gates, Five Years Old,
May be Fatally Burn
ed By Match.
CHUM CALLED HELP
AND MOTHER COMES
Mrs. Gates Slightly Burned As
She SmOthers Blaze En-
quilting Child.

While celebrating her fifth birthday
anniversary at play with little cousin
yesterday afternoon, Ruby Gates
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Gates
Of Donnybrook, was burned probably
fatally when her playmate set her
dress afire.
The child was burned from place
about the waist to below the knees,
and last night her condition was crit
zeal.
The child's father is Il fireman at
the Morrison Ice and Fuel Company's
plant. Yesterday afternoon, when
Ruby was at home with her mother,
she had company.
Her cousin, ALICE Norvell, who is of
about the same age as she, came to
the Gates home with her mother. Mrs.
Norvell was on the way into the Cape
to do some shopping from the Norvcll
farm, five miles north of the Cape.
She left the little girl at the Gates
home till she should return in the
evening to take her home.
The two children ran outdoors to id
their playing. Both often had been TO
the ice and fuel plant, where Mr..
Gates works, with the fires in the
boilers, and there they had watched
him stoke the fires.
The idea occurred to them that it
would be great fun to play at the
same game. They obtained matches
and started their game.
The little Norvell child seized a
piece of paper, part of which she ig-
nited in the flames, and turning to her
cousin thrust the burning paper
against her dress.

moments. almost completely envelop-

heI' cousin.
The Norvell child ran screaming to
Mrs. Gates and attracted the attention
to her daughters plight. The Gates
girl beat at the flames chat played
about her body and rs hire mother ap-
preached, she ran with out-stretched
arms to her mother.
Mrs. Gates and neighbors. who had
been attracted by the cries, smothered
the fire out by rolling the little girl
on the ground and wrapping her in
coats. A physician was summoned inn
mediately and the child was carried
in her mothers arms into the house.
Mrs. Gates was injured slightly and
the child was burned badly on both
legs, hips and about the body, as well
as her hands and arms. She now is at
her parents home in Donnybrook.
The father Of the child was sum-
moraH from his work, ard the accident
caused considerable excitement in the
Red Star addit on.

DEMOCRATS TO MEET
here NOVEMBER 20
Leaders From Southeast Missouri
to Arrange to Attend
Big Banquet.

| A call TO DemOcF3tlc county cnalr-
men and workers prominent in the par
ty in Southeast Missouri for a meet
ing in the Cape Monday, November %,
to organize Southeast Missouri Dem
ocratic club last night was issued by
Harry F. Alexander.
Alexander, by virtue of his leader
ship in managing the Southeast Mis-
souri, Democratic rally, held in the
Cape October Ia, has been at the head
of the movement to organize the per-
manent party club in this section of
the State.
The first conference to perfect the
organization will be held in the after
noon in Alcxander's office in the
Houck Building.
Party leaders from all parts Of
Southeast Missouri are expected to at
tend the gathering. The officers will
be selected and definite plans made
for a special train of Democrats to go
from the Cape to the Jackson Day
Democratic banquet in st. Louis on
January s.
Elaborate plans are being made in
St. Louis for the reception Of Demo-
Gratis from all parts of the State. The
banquet will be held in the Coliseum,
and the present plans provide as the
most important feature, an address by
President Wilson.
Alexander last night said that it
will be the purpose of the club TO get
enough delegates TO go to the banquet
to fill ten Pullman coaches. Cape Cir
ardeau will be the assembling point for
all who go on the special train from
this section of the State.
The sentiment among Democratic
leaders in this part Of the State is in
creasingly in favor of the club, accord
ing to the replies to letters that Alex
ander has received. He has received
letters from about twenty county
chairmen and prominent party men,
indorsing the scheme and pledging
their support tc the movement.
Virtually unanimously, they selected
the Cape as the location for the head
quarters of the club.
J. H. Richardson, Of Bloomfield, dep
uty L.. S. internal revenue collector,
who has travelled in virtually all parts
of Southeast Missouri since the agita-
ton for the club began, last night was
in the Cape and declared that every
county will be represented at the pre-
liminary meeting to be held November
%.
In his talks with Democrats, Rich
ardson says, he has learned that the
party men of Southeast Missouri feel
deeply indebted to the Cape for the
entertainment they received when here
for the rally. For that reason the Cape
will unquestionably be selected as the
headquarters for the club. The rail-
road facilities here also favor the
Cape's selection.
Some Of the men who have written
to Alexander giving their support to
the organization of the club are: John
H. Bradley, of Kennett, candidate for
the Springfield Court of Appeals;
Judge Jesse Sheppard, of Poplar
Bluff; l.. II. Thomason, of Poplar
Bluff, both candidates for the Spring
field Court of Appeals, and H. S. Coch-
ran, Mississippi county chairman.
