ROY PICKING BERRIES
BITTEN BY COPPERHEAD

Springfield, Mo-, July Roy Aus
tin, s years cid, is under care of a
physician and nurse at the home of his
uncle, Clyde E. Austin of 600 Holland
street, following an attack by cop
perhead snake at the Austin home
seven miles north of Springfield. The
boy was badly bitten by the poison
Gus reptile which struck him on the
right leg.
The victim of the snake bite was
picking raspberries near the family
home at the Arthur Whitlock
farm. His mother and sister were
with him at the time, but the snake
disappeared before the trio recovered
from their fright. When Mr.. Austin
appeared in response to their cries
the snake had disappeared. He said
today that he had killed about twenty
five copperheads and one big black
snake near where the snake bit the
boy.

CAPE COUNTY CROPS
BEST EVER GROWN
Thomas Clark Told by Farmers
1915 Yield Will Break
Records.

Farmers living between Cape Girar-
deau and Oak Ridge are going to pro-
duce their banner crops this year, ac-
cording to Thomas f. Clark, the mu-
sic man, who delivered a piano to a
customer in Oak Ridge yesterday.
81 met a number of farmers" said
Mr.. Clark, and they all assured me
that the corn crop would exceed the
biggest yield in the history of the
county.
"The early corn has advanced far
enough to insure its completion Meth
er rain nor Grouth could damage it
now. Many of the fields are filled with
roasting ears, and most stalks hold
three ears. The unusual amount of
rain has made the stalks grow tall and
they are heavy, thus making it easy
for them to hold three large ears OF
corn.
"The wheat in this section of the
county has been goOd-far above the
average. The grass has been splendid
all year, and stock are in excellent
shape. The hay, timothy, clover and
alfalfa, was never better.
"The farmers are the happiest peo-
pie on earth over the prospects. The
business men in Oak Ridge expect this
fall to Danish hard times. The farmer
is going to have more money than he
has had in d great many years. AnC
when the farmer has money, the mer
chant have and when the merchants
are prosperous, everybody has banE
roll.
81 was agreeably surprised at the
condition of the crops in this county
have been under the impression al
along that the yield would be large
but | did not know conditions were 81
good everywhere. If we don't have
good times in Cape Girardeau thi
fall, | will admit that | am a poo
prophet"

One ACCIDENT IS
CAUSE OF ANOTHER
Awning Falls On Ollie AsthoIz and
A P. Behrens is Trapped as
He Takes a Peep.

While Ollie Astholz was lowering
the awning in front of the Glenn store
yesterday morning, one of the long
poles broke and Mr. Astholz was COM
pletely buried a second later by the
confused collection of canvas and
broken timbers.
Allie Behrens, the store manager,
was upstairs in the building when the
accident occurred, and when he heard
the crash he thrust his head out of the
window just in time to see Mr.. AEtholz
collapse beneath the overwhelming
weight of the wrecked awning. He
was so startled that when he thrust
his head out the window his hat fell
off, and in plunging to catch it, the
heavy window sash became unfasten-
ed and dropped with great force across
the back of his neck, pinioning him Sc
curely and rendering him powerless to
call for help.
Miss Carroll, who had hastened to
the walk when the awning fell, was at
tracted by Mr.. Behren's hat which had
dropped to the top of the wreckage,
and when she looked at the window
above she discovered his unpleasant
predicament.
A relief party was commissioned to
his rescue, AMI while he was being ex-
tricated, Mr.. Astholz gained his liber-
ty by crawling from under the mass
of ruins in which he had been buried.
Mr.. Astholz was not injured, and the
only unpleasant result noticed by Mr.
Behrens is a slight hoarseness, due to
the deep pressure to which his neck
was subjected.

Springfield, Mo-, July 7-R. L. Ar
nett, commercial agent for the White
River division of the Missouri Pacific,
returned from a day at Melva, where
he was making an investigation of the
crop prospects.
One of the best seasons will be ex-
perienced this year that that country
has ever known, according to Arnett
especially in regard to the corn and
grapes.
Other crops are in excellent condl-
ton, the wheat being all harvested

PLANS TO RUN
into THE CAPE
Road Expects to Buy Cape
Girardeau and Northern
in Near Future.
SCHULTZ CONFERS IN
ST. LOUIS OVER DEAL
If Bush Acquires Property, Cot.
ton Belt Will Run Into
Cape, Too.

Since the United States Court or
dered the Frisco Railroad to take over
the Cape Girardeau & Northern, the
Missouri Pacific officials have renew
ed their efforts to get possession of
the Cape Girardeau road.
The courts action clarified condi-
tions which have held up the sale of
the Houck road for almost two years.
1t is semi-officially reported that the
Frisco has approved a deal whereby
the Missouri Pacific will get posses
sion of the Cape Girardeau & North
ern Railway within a short time.
1t is understood that the local con-
Germ will be sold and the Missouri Pa
cific will acquire it. Officials of the
Houck road have been in consultation
with President Bush of the Missouri
Pacific and Iron Mountain recently in
st. Louis. This announcement was
made in st. Louis yesterday.
r. H. Schultz, receiver for the C..
G. & N. Railway, conferred last week
with both the officials of the Frisco
and Missouri Pacific, and it is under
stood that he was informed that he
would be retained whether the railroad
passed into the hands of the Iron
Mountain or remained the property of
the Frisco.
According to reports, the Cotton
Belt will run into this city also, if the
Houck road is purchased by the Mis-
souri, Pacific The Cotton Belt and the
Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain
are SO closely identified in business
way that these roads are looked upon
as belonging to the same company.
Should the C. &. & N, become a
part of the Missouri Pacific, this city
will have three main railroad lines.
The plan is to have the Cotton Belt
and Iron Mountain use the same
tracks into this city from limo. This
would give the Cape an outlet to Chi
cago and the East, an almost direct
line to the great Southwest and would
connect this city with st. Louis by two
routes.
Business men in this city are work
ing for the success of the plan for the
Missouri Pacific to acquire the c. G.
& N. By bringing the Iron Mountain
and Cotton Belt into Cape Girardeau
the shipping facilities of this city
would rival any town of its size in the
State.

BRIDGES TO MAKE
RACE FOR CONGRESS
Cape Legislator Says He Can
Sweep District Tom Brown
To be Opponent.

Capt. Harry w. Bridges, representa-
tives from this county in the State
Legislature, is going to oppose Tom
Ward for the Republican nomination
for Congress next years. He made this
statement to The Tribune yesterday.
Capt. Bridges believes next fall will
be a field meet for the Republican,
and he expects to get his share of the
G. o. 2. gravy when it is being pass
ed around.
"The Republican who gets the nom-
ination for Congress in this district is
going to VIM" said Mr.. Bridges, "and
l believe I will land that honor. Con-
fidentially, l don't believe Tom Ward
will seek the nomination, but if ne
does, l believe can defeat him.
81 have received much encourage,
ment from Republicans in the district
and l have assured them that | viii
appreciate their support. Of course, il

pubIicans are going to sweep this
State next year. Every indication
points to success. l believe l coulC

was too late"
Congressman Russell, who has beer
mentioned for the Democratic nom
ination, has decided to make the race
again for Congress. 1t is understood
that Bob Ward and possibly Senator
Hawkins will oppose him.

which is one of the finest farms in the
Ozarks. Some of the large produc-
ton had to be trimmed for it was too
big for the vines.
Several other smaller farms are al
so to have big production of grapes
for the season. Arnett estimates the
crop at ten )r more car loads from
Melva alone, while there is big yield
expected all along the White River
line. Not only is there big yield
but the fruit is of extra fine quality.
