loose at the stump, trying to hit Just
over the stump or at the side.
"They kept coming little closer

through the grass on hands and knees,
from stump to stump and we shot at
them a sthey scurried from the cover
of one stump to another.

cause they didn't make much noise.

hour before they finally began to pull

The men inside the hut waited under
their cover till near daybreak before
they issued forth, for fear that the
'nightriders" were attempting to de
coy them from their cover and slav
them in the open.
When daylight came, the men went
out in the field to the place where the
"rightriders" had rescued their COM
panlon who had called for aid. There
they found three hats virtually riddled
with bullet holes, couple revolvers
and rifle.
Blood stains were profuse for short
distance and then they vanished. One
of the men in the party proceeded to
make his way to Clarkton, while the
others remained at the hut.
The alarm was given in Clarkton
and citizens posse was quickly or
ganized. BloOdhounds were brought
from Campbell and rushed to the
scene. They picked up the trail in the

TO ASK REVIEW OF
PARK LIGHTS issue
City Contends Public Utilities
Co. Must Install
Lamps.

The city will ask the Missouri Pub
lie Service Commission to review that
part of its opinion on the public utili-
ties situation here, bearing on the
question of lights for the Courthouse
Park, it became known yesterday, fol-
lowing Il short conference between
Mayor Rage and Senator Thomas F.
Lane, attorney who represented the
city in the fight for pure water Just
won by the opinion.
The question at issue is whether or
not the city can force the utilities COM
pany to erect lights in the parks of
the city. The opinion holds that the
lighting Of the Courthouse Park which
was asked. does not fall within the
terms Of the contract for lighting the
streets"
Senator Lane explained that the
city'S position in the retail of that
point will be that it may not fall with
in the contract for street lighting, but
that it does fall within the city's
franchise to the utilities company.
The contract is Independent Of the
franchise and can fix only the price
or consideration for the lighting, Lane
SAYS, and the franchise clearly stipu-
lates that the utilities company can
perform the lighting service in all
streets and alleys and in public places.
Lane declares that means that the
city can force the company to put IN
lights in public places. The settlement
of this question will undoubtedly have
n bearing on the lighting of the city
park to be acquired from the Fair As
ISOLATION.
Lane said he believed the members
Of the commission did not regard the
Courthouse Park lighting as a main
issue at stake and for that reason did
not go into it to a greater extent in
their opinion.
Lane declared that the opinion and
order of the commission was a man.
date from that body for the utilities
company to quit palavering" and get
busy" despite the fact that the local
officials of the company have attempt
ed to make it appear that the order
simply was in conformity with an ar
rangement already entered into by the
utilities company with the commission
to perform the work asked by the
city.
Lane declared that the attorneys for
the utilities company spoke with a
much different mien when the case of
the city against the company was ar
gued in St. Louis several weeks ago.
|. R. KelSo, one of the attorneys for
the utilities company, argued that the
enforcement of the Cape's franchise
by making the company put in the
proper crib or intake tower, was an
oppression of the company. Lane said
he has not heard of any plans for the
execution of the work already having
been filed with the commission, and he
declared that the order of the COM
mission simply meant the company
will have to quit "fooling around" and
go to work.
