After the shooting, the dead con-
Wet was identified as the man who
murdered railroad detective at
Mounds, ILL.,, and who escaped from
the city jail at Cairo in March, 1914,
Just a short time before he was to
have been hanged for the murder.
The two officers yesterday after
noon were informed by Iron Mountain
special agents that they believed the
negro who killed youth at Nicely
VILE, Mo-, last week was hiding in d
box car ip the Iron Mountain yards.
They searched the various cars stand
ing On the sidctracks, but failed to
find the negro.
AS they started to return to the city
Sheriff Kirby noticed a white man
asleep beside the tracks. The officers
aroused him and asked his name. He
refused to divulge his name, but stat
ed that his home was in st. Louis and
that he was in Poplar Bluff in search
Of employment.
AS he talked to the officers he be-
gan to tumble with his hip pocket. 81
believe you are carrying a gum" said
Sheriff Kirby. q believe you are
right" answered the convict, "and |
am going to use it" Hastily drawing
his revolver, he fired at the sheriff.
The officer dropped to his knees.
= Constable Powell returned the fire,
and his first bullet shattered the con-
vict's right arm Before the man
coul transfer the weapon from his
right to his left hand, the two officers
had fatally wounded him. Sheriff
Kirby, in spite of his wound, joined
his fellow officer in the attack. They
emptied their revolvers before Wilson
toppled over, dead.
The convict did not utter a sound
while the battle was in progress, but
he was defiant as long as he was able
to stand and tried desperately to give
battle.
A youth, who was with Wilson, was
placed under arrest by Powell and TAX
en- to the police station. He refused TO
give his name, but told the officials
that he escaped from the Cairo Jail
with Wilson, when the latter sawed
out Of the >bastile. 1t was through the
statements of the youth that the dead
man was identified.
% When informed that the victim was
Wilson and that he had escaped from
the Cairo iail, Constable Powell APP
piled the Bertillion measurements that
were sent out by the Cairo police at
the time Wilson escaped with the dead
man and found they tailed exactly.
Wilson was found in the act Of
| breaking into box car in the rail-
i road yards at Mounds, H., in the au-
tumn of 1918, by a railroad detective.
| The officer attempted to arrest him
and Wilson drew revolver and killed
the detective. But he was overpower-
ed and placed under arrest. He was
| given a trial and convicted of murder
and sentenced to hang in March, 1914.
A short time before the date set for
his execution, he sawed out of Jail.
| While the police of the whole coun-
try have been looking for him since
then, no trace of the missing convict
had been reported until yesterday.
| When his body was searched by the
Poplar Bluff police yesterday, three
revolvers were found and one hundred
rounds of ammunition His body was

TO TAKE PLACE OF THE BIB
lem That Has Often Wor-
ried Careful Mothers.

Very frequently mothers are con-
fronted with the problem OF placing
9 napkin over a child's dress when the
child is partaking of a meal away
from home. All children resent 2av-
ing napkin tied about their little
necks in careless fashion. There is
one way of holding the bib in posi-
ton. This is by means of two little
clasps which are attached to the ends
of strip of braid or ribbon. 1t is
quite likely. however, that mother
would forget TO carry this device with
her In such case she must resort
to the material on hand, which, after
all, is very fine test for everyone.
The woman who can do well with the
things on hand without having to ap-
ply outside assistance is truly clever.
Such a distinction is to be given to
the mother who thought of the follow
ing idea when pins and clasps we're
not available. She tied two knots in
one corner of the napkin and tucked
the knotted end into the child's dress,
at the neck. The knots weighted the
end of the napkin so that il was bound
to stay III place. You mothers and
guardians of children, try this stunt
the next time you are at a loss to
know what TO do to keep the napkin
before your little ones dress.

ever, to obtain accurate figures, for in
only small proportion of states and
counties are complete records avail
able. Moreover, the number of sheep
killed by no means measures the
harm done to the industry in this
way. Persons who have seen flock
of sheep chased by dogs until they
drop dead of exhaustion are not likely
to be encouraged to risk their money
in the business of sheep raising.
In a new publication of the United
States department of agriculture,
Farmers Bulletin 652, THE Sheep
Killing Dog" some suggestions are
given for uniform law in all the farm
states to check the raids of dogs on
farm fiocks. The underlying prin-
ciple of the proposed law is tax suf-
f1ciently heavy to discourage the keep
ing of dogs by those persons who are
not willing to take proper care of
them. This tax, it is said, should vary
In accordance with the number of
dogs kept by each individual-one
male being taxed only $3.50, each adj
ditional male $500. and each addi-
tional female $500. The tax must be
paid each year and license tag OBJ
tanned when the money is paid. If any
dog is found unattended without this
tag he should be killed. and any dog
found unattended on farm where
sheep are maintained may be killed
whether he has or has not a license
tag. Under any circumstances a dog
caught killing or chasing sheep should
be killed reward Of $500 is pro-
posed for the Identification of dogs
known to be sheep killers. and such
animals should be killed at once.
With the money obtained from the
dog tax the county should reimburse
sheep owners for their lost stock, and
when possible recover this money
from the owners OF the guilty dogs
Ii is. however. extremely rare for dogs

BEST WAY TO REDUCE FLESH
as Most Efficient Way OF Remov-
ing Adipose Tissue.

The quickest and safest way to re-
duce flesh is to adopt well-balanced
diet that excludes all carbonaceous
foods. Starch, sugar, oil and alcohol
should be put aside by fat person.
To set an appetizing table, yet omit
these, is not so difficult as may appear,
for there remain all kinds of meat ex-
eepting pork, all game, all sea food, all
fruit except bananas. majority of sal
ads and green vegetables-in fact all
vegetables except potatoes, corn, dried
beans and lentils. From this list it is
easy to compose variety of tempting
menus. Eggs also may be eaten in
moderation. and the amount of oil
used in salad dressing is not enough
to be fattening.
Strip. gravy, milk, bread, potatoes,
cereals, sweets and alcohol beverages
are to be avoided. Bar these rigorous
ly from the table and within a month
you will begin to lose flesh.
1t is q simple matter to eliminate
from your diet all foods that are ex-
cessively fat-producing. 1t is a treat,
ment that cannot fail to reduce your
flesh if you adhere to it, and if you
compose your menus with care and in
telligence you will be surprised to note
how little you will miss these forbid
den foods after a brief time.
When you have attained the weight
you desire it is not necessary to follow
the diet quite so closely. Nevertheless
you should be on your guard against
fat-producing foods. for If it is your
tendency to be eorpulent all such food
will be fatal 10 your figure.

A Dogproof Fence.

Specifications for the dogproof
fence:
Posts 71a feet in length, set 21a feet
in the ground and 16 feet apart; a

face of the ground. inches higher a

higher barbed wire; 6 inches bighec
second barbed wire; inches above
this third barbed wire. Total height,
81 inches.
Fences of this kind have turned
aside coyotes in the West, and any
fence that will turn a coyote should
turn dog. 1t is important, however.
to remember that the bottom strand
of barbed wire must be fiat upon the
ground, even ii grading and filling up
holes is necessary to accomplish this
BY feeding sheep on forage crops the
area to be fenced can be much dimin-
ished Moreover. dogs rarely attack
sheep in the daytime, so that if the

pense of fencing a large area he may
content himself with a small Enclosure
