Fish-Caller Saves Angelo
100000 100000
Dempsey from Swamp tomb

$50 O'clork in the evening so they
would have time enough to reach Lit
tie River Club house before dark and
make their way successfully to Pas
cola.
Overstolz and Graham Dempsey
finished their first days fishing in
plenty of time and were at the tryst
promptly at $50 p. m They waited
for several moments for Angelo, but
the Cape attorney failed to put in an
appearance.
Both men knew that Angelo was
thoroughly familiar with the geogra-
ply of the waters and felt little alarm.
Overstolz consequently suggested that
he and Graham proceed to Little River
where they could await Angelo.
Overstolz and Graham were no;
thoroughly familiar with the passes OF
the morass and they wished to make
the trip to Little River by day light
They started and after going down
the wrong avenue in the swamp, even
tually pulled in at the Little River
club house, where they were determin-
ed to wait for Angelo.
Angelo did not come and the two
men settled themselves down for a
smoke in the evening.
The Little River is probably several
miles wide in that region and covers
a land densly overgrown with swamp
grasses. In many places the water is
many feet in depth. Much of the
stream is about 4 to 6 feet deep and
in parts it reaches depth of 20 tC
80 feet. The grasses stand several
feet high above the surface of the wa
ter and hte whole section is a natural
maze.
Expert guides are essential to probe
the place. and after night fall, the
place virtually is impenerable for the
most experienced men.
Overstolz and Graham began tc
grow uneasy as darkness set in anC
they heard no word from Angelo. The
place was silent and light breeze
came in toward the bank from across
the morass.
The two men suddenly heard An,
gelo's voice calling:
<T'm LOST Pm Lost!I'm Lost
I'm Lost"
The voice was plainly recognizable
but it was impossible to determine
from just what direction the call came
| It was Ear out in the middle OF the
river-maze. To locate it would be like
| finding man in labyrinth.
The calls stopped for a moment
Overstolz and Graham Dempsey re-
piled. Their calls were swept bach
land-ward and they afterward learned
that Angelo never heard the replies.

PARTISANS IN
FUED PREPARE
FOR THEBES WAR
Men Garry "Hardware.' On
Both Hips when they Walk
On Streets.
FREEFOR ALL FIGHT
ACCOMPANIES REPTURE
One Man Loses Ear in Melee
Grand Jury Begins
Investigation.

A state of fued exists at Thebes, III.
that virtually has converted the little
river town into a frontier place where
every gentleman" packs his "hard-
ware" on both hips.
Many of the men in the town, who
have taken sides, have been CARRYING
their siX-shOOters all week following
the start of the controversy last Sat
urday night at pitched battle in a
pool hall there.
The situation is so tense that vir-
tually every partisan is prepared to
fight at the last slip" made by either
side and it is believed that should the
fight break out a second time, several
fatalities will occur.
The States Attorney for Alexan-
dria County in Carlo has issued 20
warrants. it is said, and more than a
score Of witnesses have been summon
ed before the Grand Jury there to
give testimony in an investigation of
the fued
Indictments and arrests are to fol-
low, it is believed.
The fued, it is said, it the outgrowth
of trouble that occurred between lead
erS of the factions a week ago last
Saturday night. Owen Kelly, prophet
of pool hail there, and several of his
friends attended the moving picture
show conducted by R. N. Jefferies on
that night, when Kelly and his friends
occupied places on the window lodges
as seats.
Jefries objected to this and a sharp
break occurred. The men left the
place quietly, however.
Last Saturday night, Jeffries, ac-
complained by son and Frank Shields,
deputy sheriff, went into the Kelly
pool hall where within a few minutes
the battle was started About 20 men
were engaged in the "free- -fOr-all."
According to reports that have
reached the States Attorneys Office,
Jeffries and his companions were
foored by Kelly. Heads were smash
ed, eyes blacked and virtually every
man in the melle suffered punishment.
Dennis Brown. one of the partisan's
on Jeffries' side, had his ear torn from
his head. Nathan S. Kelly was taken
to Cairo shortly afterward for safe
keeping, and it is reported that an at
tempt is being made to have him in
dicted for biting" off the ear of Den
mis- Brown.
Physicians have declared the wound
appears to have been made by knife
Conviction on a charge of mahem Is
punishable with a penitentiary SEN
! tence.
! Kelly was released to Mayor Ar
| thur Brown of Thebes few hours af-
| he had been taken to Cairo.
The men who have had anything to
do with the fight have crowded the
court house awaiting the report of the
Grand Jury there. The fight has split
a certain circle of men asunder If
Thebes. Many have remarked that
should they meet certain other men or
the street, it simply would be ques,
ton of who was first on the trigger.

he had done his duty when he por-

gradually rising to the ideals OF

DOUBLE MORAL Standard
Has it ever occurred to any of these

as long as there is double standard
of morals just that long we will have

Girls who fall are given wide

Pearl Gray, held on bootlegging
charges at the county jail and both of
them with less than a month to stay,
walked out of the Jail after they had
been given outside work to do and
have not yet returned
According to Sheriff Wiley, the two
men were set to work washing carpets
In the cellar. AS their terms were so
nearly expired it was not deemed like
ly that they would risk an attempt to
escape and no especial guard was plac.
ed over them. After working for a
time the two men slipped out Of the
back door and have disappeared.
Sheriff Wiley stated that the two
men would be promptly picked up if
they reappeared in this community but
that if they did not he considered it q
good radiance.

CITIZENS RESENT
ORDER TO vACC|NATE
DAVENPORT BOARD OF HEALTH
MAKES SWEEPING DEMAND.
FOR ALL CHILDREN.

Davenport, Aug. 26--An anti-vac-
cination crusade is on here, as the re-
suit of sweeping order of the local
health board that all children be vac
cinated at once. The order grows out
of the present smallpox epidemic in
this city, which has prevailed during
the past three months and has cost the
city many thousands of dollars.
A delegation of women waited on
Senator F. G. Henigbaum to protest
against the state law requiring gener-
al vaccination and to axis what he
could do for them. Senator Henig-
baum wrote to the attorney general
to ask him his opinion regarding the
constitutionality of the law. He will
report to the delegation later.
Both Dr. G. NJ. Middleton, city ply
stefan, and DR.. p. H. Schroeder, ply
stefan to the board OF education, have
been making determined efforts to Sc
cure the vaccination of every child in
the city, stating that only by this pre-
ventive measure can the city be freed
from the disease and it's spread con-
trolled. They were much surprised
when informed that their efforts were
being opposed by many parents, and
stated that they felt that the oppo-
nents Of the rule had misunderstood
its meaning.
