of lack of funds in the bank.
Attachment Issued.
While Fisher was arresting Taylor
at the hotel, Constable Bradley was
searching the railroad freight Offices
and the Hide and Fur Company's Of
fees for property of the company up
on which to serve an attachment. A
large quantity of wool was found Sn

held. Taylor, it is alleged, is indebted
to at least two Hattiesburg men for
services and material.
The wool and other property of the
company attached by Constable Brad

case is disposed of. If he cares to
fight the writs, he will return to this
city.

Perry Has the "Jimmies."
In his cell at the city Jail Horace
Perry, the man who was uncorking a
bottle of whiskey when Chief of Police
Sam Nunnery looked through the win
dow of his room, when he saw the
bruised nude form of the woman on a
bed, is in the throes of delerium
tremens. Several physicians have
visited him, and his condition is high
ly nervous. Doctors have given or
ders that no one be allowed to see him
for three days. The man is under
medical treatment and in state of
nervous collapse.
Since yesterday the police have as
Icertained that Perry went to the ex
press office early Tuesday and there
signed for a gallon of whiskey which
had been shipped to him by a liquor
house.
Jim Harrison also continues to be
held in Jail, pending more rigid inves-
LEGATIONS of his possible connection
with the affair. Officers claim that
they have several witnesses to swear
he was seen going to Perry's room
more frequently than he admits.
One police officer said today that a
man told him that another man had
boosted to him Tuesday that he had
a roll of bills which he secured ''in
an easy way" This point is now be-
ing looked up.
Police Theory of Ladder.
1t is the theory of the police that
the ladder, about which so much mys-
terry is evident, was placed aaginst the
back window to be used as the means
of slipping the body of the woman
away from the place after she died.
They might have intended to tie it
in a sack, and sink it in Pearl river"
said one policeman.
A club, bloody and matter with hair,
is locked up at the police station. The
club was found in Perry's room Tues
day afternoon.

Former Crystal Falls Girl Making
Rapid Steps Toward Fame

Miss zilla Hooper, who left this city
about nine years ago, accompanying
her parents out west. is at present re-
ceiying considerable press comment
as to her fine work in art circles. Miss
Hooper is graduate Of the Crystal
Falls high school. having rounded out
her school work with the class or
1901. Several years after she gradual
ed she left for Los Angeles. Cal where
she has remained since, having open
ed up an art studio in that city.

work. Under a large three column

In her studio the following interesting
article was taken, which will be read
with interest by her many old school
mates and friends in Crystal Falls.

Starving. however is not so popular
among those who paint for living

their brushes so seriously, but learn
stenography or something useful and

Los Angeles probably has more

other city OF its size in the world

MUST PROVE NEGLIGENCE
Supreme Court Renders an Opinion Of
Importance TO Aato Drivers

An opinion OF the supreme court
rendered today affects automobile
owners throughout the state in dealing
directly with the oft-occurring Incl
dent OF a child suddenly running from
a curb or roadside in front OF a ma
chine. The court ruled that the mere
accident itself is not proof that the
driver OF the car is negligent, that his
negligence must be absolutely proved
in order that damages may be recov-
cred.
The decision was made I'm a case
originating in Detroit
Justice Steere who wrote the opinion
ruled
DRIVERS upon highways are not
held as insurers against accident
arising from negligence Of children
or their parents, and though in law,
such negligence in particular case
may not be defense as contri-
butory negligence, for driver also
guilty of negligence, the fact of an
accident does not establish liability
TO raise a presumption that the
driver Is negligent"
The court has never before given
the auto driver. in so many words,
the good standing he has under this
decision.

LOGGING OUTLOOK BAD
First Buyers 10 Visit Locality Make
RidIculously Low Ofiers

Crystal Falls was visited by couple
OF log buyers during the week and the
offers that they made for prime logs
sent cold shivers down the back OF
every prospective logger. Only the
choicest logs are asked for and for
such timber a price OF $1,000 per
thousand feet was offered for maple,
$14.00 for birch and $500 for bass
wood. No offers were made for Hem
lock but II was said that when this
wood is sought the maximum will be
$500 per M.
AT the figures quoted loggeIs can't
come out whole and unless there is a
change for the better II is very prob
able that there will be practically no
logging done In this locality the COM
