HAzINC HONEYMOON
MAY BE MATTHEWS
Scott Comfy Newlywcd to Take
Bride With Him to
NOtre Dame.

Joseph l.. Matthews, Sikeston's
High School football star, who motor
ed to Charleston Tuesday night and
was quietly married to Miss Lucille
Alexander, daughter of Scott Alexan-
der, banker and large property owner,
will take his bride with him as he be-
comes freshman at Notre Dame Uni
versity, South Bend, Ind.
NOtre Dame University is one of
those schools in the Middle West
where a gentle 'hazing" still is looked
upon as being a good thing for fresh
men. Consequently, young Matthews
frindes in the Cape and at his home
are wondering what procedure the
sophomOres at NOtre Dame will take
with a STRIPPING freshman who comes
to school with a bride.
Matthews and his wife will motor
cross country to South Bend in a new
six-cylinder machine that the brides
father presented to the couple as a
wedding present.
Matthews bride was graduated
from the Charleston High School only
a year and half ago and last year
attended a finishing school in Wash
ington, D. c. Matthews, himself, was
graduated from the SikestOn High
School last spring. He was identified
with many student activities there.
This fall when he finished his prep
arAtions to go to Notre Dame Univer-
sity, where he intended to go out for
the football team, he simply could not
withstand the separation from the
young lady in Charleston.
Accordingly he motored to Charles
ton with a friend and managed to fix
the whole affair up and had the cere-
mony performed by DR.. Lemon, pastor
of the Baptist Church in Charleston.

then I think of what a tim the

the waters. read an article in a
New York paper supposed 10 be
written by one in authority from
England and he said the European
war would last at least three years
longer. Now if he is correct our

A. D. OLIVER, FAMOUS
ALL The STATE, SHOT

One OF the IlOSU uidloAASo'
crimes that has ever occurred n
this section was the murder OF A.
ID. Oliver Wednesday night about
g o'clock. Just as he was coming
out Of his bank building, where he
intended establishing the Farmers
Bank 4 Loan CO., he was shot
and instantly killed. Three men
were known to have been in tbs
gang. Two shots we're fired from
a shotgun loaded with No. 2 and
5 shot, one shot severiag his jugu-
lar vein and the other hitting hin.
just above the heart.
H. A. jackson, night marshal
heard the shots, and Immediately
went to the scene. Oliver was dead
when the marshal arrived, and
the three men had fed to where
they had left iheir car.
It seems that the assasins had
the murder fully planned out, and
carried every detail out perfectly.
The ausomobile used was two
passenger car, though reports on
this matter are conflicting, some
saying two and others four. The
men evidently came from the di-
rection Of Smithville, as the car,
according to witnesses at the coro-
ner's inquest was seen standing IN
the road below the depot headed to-
wards Snithville and right ready
for quick getaway.
A. A. Bar, a section foreman
on the Central testified at the in
quest that he heard the shots, and
Immediately came towards the
bank and saw three men running
away. He asked them what was
the matter, but they made no re-
ply. A negro also testified that he
met the three men as they were
running to where they had left the
car, and asked them what was the
matter, and the one behind pulled
his gun and told him to shut up"
Both witnesses stated they could
not identity them. The negro
stated later that he thought he
could identify the one that pulled
the gun on him. He said he did
not know him. but possibly he
could identity him should he again
see him.
The sheriff was notified immed-
lately and the track dogs were put
on the trail. They trailed the men
to where they had left the car, but
were unable to g any further. The
sheriff continued the search and
went to Amcricus but no one could
be found.
Oliver was man Of mystery"
in true spirit. His personal pa
pers, found upon his body, shed
no light on his identify further
than A. D. Oliver. Oliver person

knew him, and that was practically

have been shot down like a dog BY
the cowardly aasasins. Whatever
may have been said Of Oliver he
never went behind mans back to
do him harm, and It is hardly
conceivable that anyone could
have shot him down, without Civ
ing him a chance for his life.
No clues have been found except
the gun used, which was thrown
down at the scene of the killing.
It is hoped by the people here
that the assassins can be caught
and brought to justice. Several
prominent men here have offered
to give towards a reward for the
capture of the criminals.
