Boy On A Bike
Hits Woman and
Bowls Her Over
Baby in Her Arms is Unin-
jured, But Impact Removes
Her Shoes and Breaks
Bicycle.

Mrs. J. Bennett, of 1901 Bloomfield
street, while avoiding passing auto
mobile in front of her home late yes
terday afternoon, was struck by BIZ
cycle ridden by Albert Reyburn and
seriously injured.
Mrs. Bennett was carrying small
baby in her arms when the accident
happened, and when she was thrown
from her feet by the impact, she held
to the child and prevented it from
striking the concrete street.
The baby belonged to a neighbor,
Mrs. Heuschover, and Mrs. Bennett
had carried it across the street for
Mrs. Fred Braun to see for herself
that the little one had actually cut a
tooth. When she started back home
with her precious, charge, an automo-
bile approached and Mrs. Bennett
stepped aside for it to pass.
She did not notice that the bicycle
was following Immediately in the wake
of the auto, and without realizing her
danger stepped directly in,front of the
bicycle which was travelling at a rapid
rate.
When the collision occurred Mrs.
Bennett was dashed to the street with
such force that both shoes flew from
her feet, and for several seconds she
was in a dazed condition and did not
regain her equilibrium until assist
ance reached her.
The bicycle turned a flipflap, I'M

spreading him out on the roadway.

BOGUS CHECK IS
OFFERED FOR suit
Louis Hoppe Keeps Paper Over
Night and Finds it's
Worthless.

An unsuccessful attempt was made
Friday afternoon to pass an alleged
bogus check at the American Cloth
ing Co. Store in this city.
A young man came into the store
and advised Louis Hoppe, the clerk
and check expert, that he would like
to purchase q suit of clothes. Mr.
Hoppe showed him the clothing, and
the stranger finally selected i suit
which was offered him for the sum
of S12.
When the suit was tried, it was
found that some alterations were ne
cessary, and the stranger said that he
would call for his purchase on the fol-
lowing morning. In the meantime he
offered a check drawn on the German
National Bank of Little Rock, signed
''The Southwestern Telegraph Co., by
]. Black, superintendent" for SIS, in
favor of Jack Reynolds. He repre-
scented to the clerk that he was Jack
Reynolds, and when he offered the
check for payment, he endorsed it on
the back with that name.
Mr. Hoppe said that he felt certain
the check was all right but that he
had not authority to accept it without
the consent of his employer, Mr.. Dave
Harris, who was out of the store at
the time. He retained the check and
told Reynolds to come in the morning
for his suit, and the balance of So due
him in change.
An inspection showed that the
check was dated at Little Rock on
July 2, the day that it was offered
for payment in this city. Mr.. Harris
yesterday stated that he had made in
vestigation and found that the check
was forgery and was worthless.

ST. Louis OFFICIAL
COMPLIMENTS CAPE
Louis Nolte, President of the
Board ofAldermen, Surprised at
City's Growth in Seven Years.

Louis Nolte, twice Sheriff of St.
Louis, who arrived in the Cape yeSter-
day TO visit friends, said this is the
most promising city in Southern Mis-
souri,. 1t is his first visit here in seven
years, and in that period the Cape has
grown from village into city.
Mr.. Nolte, who succeeded A. H.
Frederick as president of the Board of
Aldermen in ST. Louis, when Freder-
lex was sentenced TO the penitentiary
for real estate frauds, reached this
city on the boat yesterday, and spent
the afternoon inspecting the city.
"The progress made by Cape Girar-
deau during the past seven years is
marvellous" said Mr. Nolte. when |
last saw this city, it was almost with
out modern streets. 1t was just q
country town. Now it is a real mod
ern city, with street cars, gay white
ways and a splendid future.
II L were CdilSu upOil " SSlGCI lIlS
best city in Southern Missouri, l
couldn't name better one than Cape
Girardeau. Its residences are beauti-
full. They would not be out of place
in some Of the private places in st.
Louis
Cape Girardeau has an ideal loca-
ton, and its future is elegant. When
the drainage project has been finish
ed, new cities will spring up, new peo-
pie will come to this part of the State
and this city will be the metropolis of
the whole district"
Mr.. Nolte was urged to make the
race for Mayor of St. Louis two years
ago, but declined. He is now the head
of the law-making branch of St. Louis.
Mr.. Nolte, who is accompanied by his
wife and niece, will breakfast with
William H. Bohnsack Jr., this morn
ing. Mr.. Nolte and Mr.. BOhnsack have
been friends for many years.

CITY COUNCIL IS
DEADLOCKED BY
CLERK CONTEST
Harry Minton First With
Richard Frissell a Close
Second on 24th Ballot.
TEN CANDIDATES IN
RACE FOR FAT JOB
City Fathers Decide to Lay Mat.
ter Over After Hard
Fight.

After twenty-four unsuccessful bal
lots the City Council last night tenn
porarily abandoned its efforts to elect
a city clerk to succeed the late Geo.
Chappell, and the matter was defer
red for further action to the next reg
ular meeting, July 10.
There were ten candidates in the
race, and the total number of votes
cast for each was as follows: J. H.
Minton 50, R. w. Frissell, 45, Edward
Willer "a, H. w. Bridges 10, Joe I.
Mum Jr. II, John l. Sample 8, Alonzo
Forman 3, w. H. Kruger 8, T. A.
Moore 4, Edward F. Blumer 2.
The contest was between Minton
and Frissell at all times and when it
became evident that a choice could not
be made, the matter was continued to
the next regular meeting.
The petition for the improvement of
Morgan-Oak street from Frederick to
Pacific was referred to the Street and
Wharf Committee for consideration.
The regular appropriation was al
lowed. the Colored Ladies' Cemetery
Association for the improvement and
maintenance of their cemetery.
The petition of Mary c. Berry, adj
nlinistratrix Of the estate of r. c. Ber-
ry, deceased, for the return of SIT
for unexpired saloon license, was re-
ceived and granted.
J. H. Price, foreman of the street
car company was appointed policeman
without pay, to avoid the necessity of
making the appointments on special
occasions, such as picnics, fairs and
other days where unusual crowds are
given passage on the street cars.
The water and light bill for $634.93
was allowed after deducting $1145
for over charge and lights that failed
to burn, making the amount due the
company $623.48.
In a report from the Board of
Health, an ordinance providing for the
employment Of a dairy inspector was
read, and apparently met with the
unanimous favor of the Council. 1t
was also recommended by the Civic
League. STATE Veterinary Luckey has
pronounced it essentially the same Or
dinance governing the inspection of
dairy products that prevails in most
of the larger cities of the State.
The matter was referred to the Ju-
dietary Committee for report at the
next meeting.

new WHEATPOURlNC
into CAPE DEALER
Tom S. Lilly is Paying Sl.O5 b.,
Best Price Ever Paid for
Fresh Grain.

Tom S. Lilly, the miller, is buying
new wheat daily and paying S1.O5
cents bushel, the highest price he
ever paid for wheat fresh from the
field.
THE farmers of Cape Girardeau
County raised a great deal more wheat
than has been generally known" said
Mr.. Lilly. an some fields that were
reported ruined the farmers have man.
aged to get about fifteen bushels to
the acre. believe on the whole, the
Wheat in this county averaged fifteen
bushels to the acre.
Some fields, of course, went a
great deal higher than that, while 9TH
ers fell below. l am buying all l can
get at $1.05 per bushal, and it is COM
ing in now by the car load.
This is the first time in my recol-
lection that We were compelled to COM
pete with st. Louis grain dealers. A
representative of St. Louis firm was
here this week buying from farmers.
l understand they are canvassing the
State, buying all they can.
"That is a good indication, l should
say, that in spite of the big yield this
year, the price is going to remain
high. We are paying a great deal
more this year than we did last sum-
mer, yet the crop for 1915 will almost
double last years output.
Il believe the yield in wheat this
year has been one of the largest in the
history of the country, and the price is
high enough to apply to a year of
famine. One thousand bushels OF
wheat will bring $1,000 anywhere in
Missouri. The quality of the grain is
excellent.
"The farmer will have no occasion
to complain about this years crop
Oats and every variety of hay are tip
top and there will be a good crop OF
corn in every field in Southeast Mis-
souri,. l have not heard of single
failure, but on the other hand, farm
ers tell me the : are going to gather
the biggest yield in-the history of their
farms"

ter was pouring into the rooms of the
Medley home.
Many other residences suffered SIM
ilarIy. The streets filled to the level
of the curbstones, and the water cours-
ed down them as swiftly as if they
had been creeks. Broadway resembled
swollen river, and when the water
started down toward the river from
the Presbyterian Church, it reached a
pace that defied automobiles to ford
it.
Many machines enrOute to the Black
garage and other points along Broad
way became water logged and the en-
gines died" When the rain quit fall
ing, a parade of horses and vehicles
were necessary to get the machines to
their destinations.
Frank Medley, who was enroute to
Cape Girardeau from Jackson, found
the Jackson road a few miles east of
the County Seat filled to a depth of
two feet, and the water was running
swiftly. The water killed his engine
and he employed farmer with wagon
and team to tow him through to the
hills. He was dragged a distance of
more than three miles, and when the
farmer unlocked his team, the Med
ley machine was taken charge of by
a Cape Gjrardeau automobile which
pulled him into this city.
While the storm was at its height,
the streets all over the city were filled
to d depth of more than a foot, some
twenty-four inches. Garbage cans
were swept from the corners and car
ried down to the river. Ten of these
utensils were counted floating past
Broadway and Main street.
The express cart, standing in front
of the st. Charles Hotel, was carried
away by the water. A search for it
made after tie storm abated proved
unsuccessful, and it is believed the
vehicle was swept into the Mississippi
River.
Many telephones were put out of
commission during the storm, and the
electric lights were extinguished by
lightning, but the city was only tenn
porarily in darkness. The lights grew
dim, then went out, but moment la
ter, the power returned.

RICE THRIVES IN THE CAPE
Jess Baker Plants Patch In Garden
and Produces Good Yield of
Excellent Grain.

Jess Baker, who lives at 915 indie
pendence street, has produced a crop
of rice in the garden at his home. He
planted a small patch this spring just
to learn whether rice would thrive on
Southeast Missouri soil.
He is familiar with rice, has in
spected it in the great fields of the
Southwest and is considered an ex-
cellent Judge of its Quality. He pro-
nounces the rice grown in his rear
yard as far above the standard pro-
duced in Texas and believes this would
be a profitable industry for Southeast
Missouri.
Mr.. Baker brought an armful of his
homegrown rice to The Tribune office
last night. 1t has reached about the
length of full grown wheat and the
heads are we'll filled.

TO WIN, SAYS KACE
Mayor Thinks Opposition TO City
Buying Park is Real
Benefit.

Through an error in The Tribune's
account of the Council meeting yester-
day, it was made to appear that the
resolution presented by the Park Com
mittee Club, urging a 100000 park
bond issue, was approved by five mem
bers of the Council. This resolution
was killed by vote of five to three.
The three councilmen favoring the
Commercial Club idea, were: Messrs.
Black, Bowman and Fowler. Those
who opposed it, were: Messrs. Arm
gardt, Blumer, Hoeller, Kaess and
Medley.
When the ordinance, providing for
the submission of a bond issue to buy
the Fairgrounds came up, it was pass
ed by vote of seven to one. Mr..

SAM DOSS, ONCE
A CAPE GAMBLER,
KILLS BARTENDER
Dry and Wet Advocates Quar-
rel at Desloge, and Otto
Huitt is Shot.
DEAD MAN CARVED FOE,
SLAYER TO BE FREED
Former Convict, Now Evangelist,
Joined Church at Flat
River, Mo.

Desloge, Mo-, July 3-In an argu-
ment over the local option election to
be held in St. Francois County, July
II, Sam Doss, Deputy Sheriff and dry
leader, shot and killed Otto Huitt, a
bartender, at picnic of the Brother
hood of American Yeomen, attended
by 5000 men and women, here this
afternoon.
According 20 witnesses, Huitt, who
was 46 years old, attacked Doss with
a pocketknife, slashing him across the
face and arms. The Deputy then drew
his revolver and shot Huitt five times
through the body killing him almost
instantly.
-Doss, who is so years old and lives
with his wife and two children at Des-
loge, made no effort to escape after
the shooting and assisted in removing
the body to an undertaking establish
ment, where an inquest will be held.
The picnic was held in a grove in
Desloge and was attended by many
women and children, who became hys-
terical and panic-stricken after wit
Messing the killing.
Sheriff J. C. William of Farming
ton, who appointed Doss a deputy two
years ago, was notified of the shoot
ing and started for Desloge, but it is
not considered likely that Doss will
be arrested. He has been active in pol
itics for a number of years and was
one of the leaders of the dry forces in
the impending election.
The election affects the entire coun-
ty, with the exception of Pennington,
which voted dry some time ago.
Huitt was unmarried.

DIR. ivan |. HOLT
DENIES HE'S KIN
OF FRANK HOLT
Report From st. Louis Anus
es Well-knOwn Cape Cir
ardeau Clergyman.
THINKS THE MAN WHO
SHOT MORGAN CRAZY
Minister Who Knows Father-in-
law of Suicide, Says Dead Man
Is Murderer.

D.. Ivan Lee Holt, the well-known
Cape Girardeau minister, denied the
report from st. Louis that he was a
brother of Frank Holt, the Cornell
professor who attempted to assas-
sinate J. Pierpont Morgan and COM
mitted suicide last night.
DR.. Holt, who has accepted chair
in the Southern Methodist University
at Dallas, Tex, in the same depart
ment where Frank Holt was also to
have been employed, informed The
Tribune last night that he and DR.. o.
F. Sensabaugh, father-in-law of Frank
Holt, had commented upon the unusual
circumstances that two men of the
same name had been employed in the
same school, IN the same department,
yet were not acquainted.
When shown telegram, stating
that report was current in st. Louis
that he was brother of the assassin,
the Cape Girardeau minister laughed
heartily. 81 know his father-in-law
very WE'LL" said DR.. Holt" but l never
met Frank Holt.
"Dr. Sensabaugh, who is presiding
elder of the Dallas district, is a per-
sonal friend Of mine, and l am a great
admirer of him. A short time ago,
while | was IN Dallas, Rev. Sensa-
baugh and l were looking over the
list Of newly elected teachers of the
Methodist University, and we spoke of
the coincident of Frank Holt being en-
ployed in the same department with
me.
81 was curious, of course, to learn
something of Frank Holt, because of
his name. l asked Mr.. Sensabaugh
where Holt was born, and he said he
had never learned the place of his SON.
in-law's birth. At that time it occur
red to me that Holt perhaps had some
object in concealing his past.
"I have been interested in the stories
of Hollis conduct during the past few
days, and | have frequently thought
of nv first impressions of the mystery
surrounding his past.
"The recent developments, and es-
pecially his suicide tonight, lead me
to believe that there is perhaps some
truth in the charge that Holt was the
Prof Erich Muenter, who murdered
his wife and vanished in 1906.
Crank Holt was at Vanderbilt Uni
versity and 1 was in Vanderbilt Uni
versity, but in different years. He was
in Chicago University and l was in
Chicago in the same school, but not at
the same time.
81 believe that the man suffered a
mental collapse as result of over
study, and worry on account of lack
of funds. He received his doctors de-
gree in French at Cornell in June, and
l am of the belief that his attempt to
kill Morgan was due to reaction from
the strain under which he has been
laboring for months.
81 believe, however, that his suicide
was due to the fact that he and Muen-
ter are identical and he did not wish to
be confronted with the charge of wife
murder.
"Holt had been teaching down in
Texas at one time and while on his
way East to attend college, he left the
train at Fort Worth and there entered
a Methodist school. While in this in
stitution he met Miss Sensabaugh to
whom he was married two years la
ter"
