MATTER ARRIVAL OF
JEFFERSON SHORB
Friends of the Colonel Think
Editors Cohorts Will Use
Steam Rollers.

Friends of T. Jeff Shorb, prospec-
tive candidate for Mayor on the "gum
drop" ticket, believe they have discov-
cred case of sky-scraping treason on
the part of members of the party.
1t was learned yesterday that the
conference of the "gum drops" in the
basement of the Presbyterian church
did not end when an adjournment was
taken. At the invitation of Brother
Fred Naeter, the gum drops" went
from the church basement to The Re-
publican office, where a caucus was
held with the lights turned out.
According to the friends of Col.
Shorb, he was not invited, and they
are of the opinion that friends of
Brother Naeter are preparing to
snatch the nomination from Col. T.
Jeff Shorb and present it to the
editor.
When the "gum drop" party meets
at the Court House Friday evening,
Col. Shorb's friends believe, he will be
pitted against Brother Naeter.
Owing to the fact that a majority
of the bosses are with Brother Naeter,
it is believed that Col. Shorb will be
flattened out with the steam rollers.
Postmaster Flentge, the Shorb men
say, is in charge of the Naeter boom,
and it is believed that he will be able
to swing enough of the gum drops
to defeat Col. T. Jeff Shorb.
Friends of the Colonel were indig-
nant yesterday when they learned that
Brother Naeter had designs on the
nomination. 1t is said that ieutenants
of Col. Shorb are going to jar the
mass meeting with a report that
Brother Naeter was recently seen with
the neck of a beer bottle partially
submerged in his face. If this rumor
can be substantiated, Colonel Shorb
thinks he will clinch the nomination.
If the Colonel loses the honor by
steam roller tactics, it is planned by
his friends to organize bolt.

CRESAPS ROBBED
AS FAMILY dine
Thief Enters Unlocked Front
Door, Steals Two Coats
and FIees.

A thief entertained the home of J.
A. Cresap at 800 Themis street, while
the family was at supper last night,
and stole two coats, which had been
left on a rack in the front hall.
One of the garments was a rain
coat and the other blue serge coat.
The thief left number of articles of
wearing apparel on the rack.
In the serge coat was money order
for So, which had been made out at
the request of H. F. Taylor, a son-in-
law of Mr.. and Mrs. Cresap. Mr.. Tay-
lor had expected to forward the postal
money order to party in Cairo, ILL.,,
today.
The burglar entered the house and
departed without the knowledge of the
members Of the family. 1t is supposed
that he was providing about the home
during the early evening, and finding
the family at dinner, crept up to the
front door. 1t had been left unlocked,
Mrs. Cresap said, and his entrance
was made easy.
The thief was frightened away, it
is believed, before he could complete
the robbery. This accounts for the
fact that only two coats were taken.
ave have no idea at what time the
robbery took place." said Mrs. Gre
sap, "but it was sometime between 5
and s o'clock. / suppose we were at
dinner or we would have heard the
thief enter the door. w always make
it a rule to lock the door whether it is
day or night. This time someone over
looked this precaution.
'My son-in-law and the family had
planned to go to a picture show, and
this revealed the robbery. When n
Taylor went to get his coat, which he
had left in the hall, he found it miss
ing. Then he discovered that his rain
coat also had disappeared. We then
searched the house, but found no 9TH
er evidences that thief had paid US a
visit. l supposed he heard some men,
Der Of the family approach the front
of the house, became frightened and
fled"

matter of the bankrupt estate of Mann
Bros, of New Madrid, held before

H. c. WASEM Is IN
SERIOUS CONDITION
Well-Known Druggist Seized
With Hemorrhage as He
Enters Bathroom.

H. c. Wasem, proprietor of the
Wasem Drug Store on Good Hope
street, was seized with violent at
tack of gastric hemorrhage shortly af-
ter arising yesterday morning, and is
in critical condition.
Mr.. Wasem had just stepped from
his bedroom into the bathroom when
he was stricken. He became suddenly
dizzy and when he lost consciousness
and fell to the floor, Mrs. Wasem
heard the sound and hurried to him.
DR.. Paul R. Williams, Jr., his FAM
lily physician, was called in, and in a
short time succeeded in restoring him
to a state of consciousness. He suf-
fered several hemorrhages during the
day, and for several hours, four phys
clans were attending him.
Several months ago Mr.. Wasem was
seized in a similar manner and fell
on the walk in front of his place of
business. On that occasion he was in
such serious condition that for a time
his life was almost despaired of. He
is chronic sufferer with stomach
trouble, and two years ago underwent
an operation in his efforts to obtain
relief.
On account Of his weakened condi-
ton he will not be removed to the hos
pital until he has gained sufficient
strength to withstand the exertion. A
trained nurse is in constant attend
ance at Mr.. Wasem's bedside.

Wilson, as attorney for St. Avit. In
the meantime, Mr.. st. Avit requested
Of Lane as to when he intended pay
ing the account, and Lane showed that
the account had been paid long prior
to that time, perhaps eight months or
year. Mr.. st. Avit then went to Mr..
Wilson for the money and was put off
from time to time by him, Wilson stat
ing to st. Avit that he would see about
it, until finally st. Avit brought suit
against Wilson for the amount col
lected, which account was collected by
the constable, D. NJ. Scivally, and by
him paid to st. Avit. A short time af-
ter the constable had paid ST. Bvit
the money collected from Wilson. he,
Wilson, came to Mr.. st. Avit's store
and demanded a fee for his services,
which Mr. St. Avit refused to pay for
the reason that Wilson had retained
his money. Mr.. Wilson after that new
err made any further demand for a fee.
Mr. Eli VangiIder, of Route No. 3,
Cape Girardeau, Mo-, reports that on
May 2, 1914, his little child was run
over and injured by an automobile be-
longing to Hunter Brothers of Jack

the accident, and solicited Mr.. Van
glider to place the claim for damage
in his hand for suit, and handed Mr..
Vangilder what purported to be a

Wilson, to institute suit. Mr.. Vangil-
der refused to employ Mr.. Wilson,
stating that he preferred to settle the
matter, if possible, with Mr.. Hunter
himself. Mr.. Vangilder reports that
he at no time authorized Wilson to
take any steps toward the collection
of his claim and at no time employed
him for any purpose. Later Mr.. Will
son wrote Mr.. Hunter and Mr.. Well

paid no attention to Wilson's letters,
and never went to see him at any 9TH
err time except that above referred to.
The matter between Mr.. Hunter and
Mr.. Vangilder was settled between
themselves satisfactorily.

sion of Orren Wilson from the Bar
Association, or else lead to his exon
