Bond Gets Contract

W. L. Bond. a we'll known con-
tractor of Monroe county on Satur-
day was awarded the contract for
the erection of the new $4,000
school building at Paris. The bids
were openened Friday last but the
contract was not awarded until
Saturday. and Mr. Bond with a bid
of $4,000. same not to include
plumbing and heating, proved to be
the lucky man. Mr.. Bond thorough
ly understands his business and
when he turns the new building
over to the Paris people they can
rest assured that it will contain
nothing but first-class material and
workmanship and that they will
have school building that they
can well feel proud of. 1t is ex-
pected that work will be started at
an early date.

HONOR GRADUATE.
Former Monroe Comfy Boy Gradu-
ates With Hisest Honor in
Five Years.

Monroe County does not only
raise farm products, but she pro-
duces some mighty brilliant young
men.
Last week at Columbia there
graduated one young man. Chester
Ray Longwell. a nephew of DR.. R.K
Meeown, who has proven himself to
be a wee bit above the average At
ter his name on the program ap.
p cared the announcement With
Special Honors." This is the first
time in five years that this has &C.
cured. During his scholarship at
Columbia he has won two scholar
ships, one of $3.50 and the other for
$500; the Stephens Gold Medal and
the Debate between Texas and the
State ~" During the school year
just closed he was assistant in the
Geological Department at the "U''
and for the summer he has been
appointed assistant to one of the
professors. who will make a Geolog-
ical trip to Colorado.
A man or boy who has the stick
ing ability comes success. This boy
was raised on 6 farm pear Ely and
yearned to be something and today
he is on the road to a realization
of his ambition and deserves the
praise of everyone, whether they
know the boy or not.

Gets a Duckine.

Several of the younger generation
loaded themselves in a picnic wagon
We dnesday morning last and hied
them selves away to the Rock House
near Sharpsburg to spend the day.
1t was a mixed party. being as
many girls in the party as boys and
vice versa. Each group enjoyed
themselves in their own particular
way, playing games, etc, but it fell
to the lot of Miss Margaret Meyers
to furnish the excitement for the
day. The young miss could not
withstand the temptation to climb
tree and that proved her undoing.
She crawled out on limb over
ha nging a branch and said limb
broke smack dab of. It is said that
no acrobat with Ringlines could
d uplicate the stunt she pulled off.

Handle 500 Boxes Strawberries.

M. C. Hawkins sure handled a
few boxes of strawberries Saturday.
The berries were all home grown,
being furnished by Messers.
Johnston, Harrison. Rogers. Ely and
Smith, and were of the finest.
Missouri can raise strawberries
with any of them and especially
Monroe County Mr.. Hawkins was
not alone in the berry business Sat-
urday as several of the other stores
had large supplies and it is safe to
say that over 1900 boxes were sold
here during the day. 1t is said that
Monroe county has strawberries of
the home grown variety until the
first freeze and this is something
that very few of the counties can
boast of.

Foxy Window Display

When it comes to being metro
pOlitan town, none of the larger
places can slip anything over on
M onroe City. Every store here has
a gOodtfront and this makes up-to-
date window displays possible and
there is not store window in the
town that is not a credit to the
decorator. This week one of the
wellsknown drug firms went to a
little time and .exertion and pro-
duced window display that is a
dandy. using well known remedy
for the work, taking every remedy
and toilet preparation manufactured
by these people to accomplish it.

500 ATTEND THE SHOW
Farmers Everlastinely Took Advan-
tsse Of Free Show at Gem
Theatre.

Last Saturday the merchants tri.
ed out the flee show proposition al
the Gem theatre for the benefit Of
the farmers. To call it a huge sue.
cess is putting 1t mildly.
Several towns in Missouri have
been trying this proposition out and
it has met with success everywhere
The merchant gives the farmer a
ticket and when presented at the
theatre it entities him to free en-
trance. Competition between towns
has become so keen within the last
few years that the merchants have
to get up and hustle is they succeed
in keeping the farmer trade and it
is an absolute certainty that most
towns are compelled to look there for
support as well as to the town folks.
To realize on this successfully the
towns are vieine with each other in
offering attractions.
The free picture show is a win
ner and as usual Monroe City does
not intend TO be outdone by any
one. A free show will be gwen
again next Saturday and the farm
ers can secure tickets from the fol-
lowing merchants and if your name
is not on the list, be a booster and
get it there

went up Monday morning to in

robbers. He thinks it the work
OF amatuers instead of profess
sionals as dynamite was used in
place of nitro-glycerine in blow
ing up the safe.
Mr.. Walker is postmaster and
keeps the post Office in the store.
He stated to Sheriff Leaf that he
had counted The stamps and that
none were missing another indi-
cation that it was not profession
ais who did the work. Mr.. Walk
er made no statement to the sher-
III in regard to the amount of
booty secured by the robbers.
This is the second time within a
year that the safe has been blown.

time for the exact amount. He
employed practically the same
tactics at the different places
which he visited. At the Nc
MILAN boarding house he ate two
meals and drew a check for one
dollar.
Mr.. Davis was out at the time
of the transaction at his store
and when he came back and heard
of it he became suspicious and
asked if the man had been identi-
fed as he had drawn a check on
an outside bank and it being Sat
.urday afternoon there was no way
of finding out whether the check
was good or not. Sunday Mr..
Davis, after learning of the other
checks which had been drawn
located Cunningham and tele-
phoned for Sheriff Leaf. Leaf
had a talk with Cunningham who
told such a straight story that he
about convinced the sheriff of his
honesty but Mr.. Davis was still
suspicious and insisted that Cum
ningham get the goods which he
had purchased at the different
stores and the goods were lock-
ed up in a room in the Mountain
View Annex. Leaf turned Cum
ningham over to Chief of Police
Cherry who became convinced OF
his honesty and failed to lock him
up and sometime during Sunday
night he left the city.
AS soon as he could Monday
morning Mr.. Davis telephoned to
the bank at st. John and received
a reply that Cunningham had liv-
ed and was known there but that
he did not and never had had any
money on deposit there. On re-
ceiving this word J. M. Warren oi
SHELTON &Warren swore out q
warrant for Cunningham's arrest
but he could not be found.
Nearly all Of the articles which
he purchased were found in tn,
packages which he had brought
back and about three dollars il
money, a suit of clothes, some
underwear and a few other small
articles were all Cunningham re-
allied from his numerous finan-
cial transactions.

Henry HalverSOn
Lost in Hills
BEEN MISSING FOR OVER A WEEK
Searching Parties Unable to Locate Him---DOg
Returned Alone

The friends of Henry Halver-
son, a cook, believe that he is lost
somewhere in the hills and has
persisted. He left this city last
Tuesday with the intention of go
ing to a homestead in the hills
north of the city, expecting to re-
main there for about ten days.
Thursday his dog came back
without him and his friends came
to the conclusion that something
had happened to him and went
in search of him.
He had not been to the home
stead and they were unable to get
any trace of him. They spent
some time hunting and finally re-
turned to the city and notified the
authorities. Deputy Sheriff Too
by started out Friday morning
with a party and searched all that
day but returned that evening
equally unsuccessful.
Halverson had been drinking
the morning he started and is
said to have taken a bottle with
HIM when he left and 1t is Thought
that by reason of his drinking he
lost his way and it is feared that
he has perished in the woods.
Numerous rumors are afloat in
regard to the matter. One is
that about dark Tuesday night he
appeared at the cabin of q home
steader and asked him to go to
his cabin and spend the night
with him. That he had been
drinking and the homesteader re-
fused to go with him and he went
on alone.
Another story is that a party
of the searchers who we're look
ing for him found where he had
abandoned his Packsack and gun
but were unable 10 find any fur
ther trace Of him. We have been
unable to trace any Of these ru-
mOrs to an authentic source.
Halverson has lived here fOI
.he past two years and has cook
ed in different places around the
city. Up to about two months
ago he cooked at the Wharf cafe
Men who have known him ever
since he has been here say tina
he has never been a drinking mai
and were surprised when he wa.
reported to have been drunk whei
he started away.

Sheriff Arrests
BOOtleegers

Sheriff Leaf was at Fernwood
and Santa Saturday looking after
some bootlegggrs which were al
legged to be operating at each OF
those places. The trip was a
successful one from his viewpoint
At Santa he arrested a man by
Frank Schultz, who it is said has
been making a business of SELL
ing liquor. He also confiscated
a jug of whiskey and brought it
back with him to be used as evil
dence.. He did not bring Schul-
tz down but permitted him to put
up a cash bond of fifty dollars
for his appearance before Pro-
bate Judge Holman next Wednes-
day for a hearing.
AT Fernwood he arrested a
woman named Mabel La Vale on
the same charge. Here, too, he
conilscated liquor which will be
used as evidence if the case comes
to trial. The La Vale woman
owns a building at Fernwood
which it is alleged is used as a
house of i'll repute. Mrs. La
Vale is said to have formerly
conducted it herslf but for the
past two years it has been rent
ed. A short time ago the woman
who had it rented left for a short
trip and Mrs. La Vale went down
TO look after it and was there
when the sheriff made his raid
and was arrested by him. It is
charged that this other woman
has been furnishing the lumber
jacks with liquor and Sheriff
Leaf had a warrant for her arrest
at the time of the raid.
Mrs. La Vale denies ever hav-
ing sold liquor to any one and put
up fifty dollars cash bond for her
appearance in court whenever she
is wanted to answer to the charge.

Walker Safe
Blown Up At Santa

c.. A. Walkers store at Santa
was broken into at ane early
hour Monday morning and the
safe blown open and robbed. The
robbers gained an entrace into
the building by breaking in the
back door. The safe was a COM
wreck. It is thought that dyna-
mite was used to blow it open and
three shots were fred before the
robbers succeeded in forcing the
safe open.
The three shots were distinctly
heard in the neighbOrhood and
Mr.. Renfro, wOh lives directly
across the street from the store
was reused by them and saw two
men leave the building shortly
after. They came out the back
entrance, passed along the side
of the building, crossing the
street in front of the Renfro
house, where they took the side
walk and went towards the depot
AS they passed the house RenfrO
fired a shotgun from his bed room
window over their heads. The
men ran toward the railroad and
quickly disappeared.
The reports of the dynamite
and Renfro's gun aroused the
people in the vicinity and thcs
gathered at the store where the.
found cle safe a wreck and rifleC
of its contents.

Passes Many
Worthless Checks
MANY MER R~HANTS ARE VICTIMIZEO
Cunningham Arrested and Later Let GO.---MOSt
Of Goods Recovered

A man by the name Of G. w.
Cunningham victimized a number
Of the merchants in the city Sat
urday afternoon by means of
worthless checks. His method
Of operating was to purchase a
hill of goods which he would pay
for by giving his personal check
on a bank at st. John, Washing
ton. Usually he would make the
check for a little more than the
amount of the purchase, explain
ing that he was out of currency
and desired to use a small amount
of change. These amounts of
money were small in every case.
In no instance that we have learn
ed of did the amount exceed three
dollars and in one case it was less
than one dollar.
Among those who were victim
lied were Davis & Link, SHELTON &
Warren, the st. Maries Drug Co.,
the Mountain View Hotel, Walter
AnsOn and Mrs. A. Mcmillan at
the Milwaukee boarding house.
Davis & Link received two
checks from the man. He first
came into the store and purchas-
ed a bill of goods amounting to
a little over seventeen dollars
He stated that he was foreman OF
q bridge gang working for tho
Milwaukee road and that he was
out of ready money as he had mol
Ireceived his last months wages
owing to the fact that he had lef
his identification papers at Har.
risOn. He stated that he haC
plenty of money in the bank at st
John and asked Mr.. Larsen, whC
is clerking in the store, if hl
would mind if he drew a checl
for twenty dollars instead of tn
exact amount as he wished to 81
to Harrison on the boat to ge
his papers and he needed the ex
ira amount to pay his fare. Lar
sen gave him the change amount
ing to a little over two dollars.
Later in the afternoon he cam
back again and explained that h
had missed the boat and mad
another small purchase, amount
ing to S3.65 and again drew
check on the st. John bank, lhi
