Upon their arrival home last night,
Mr. McClatchey related the tragic
story to The Tribune. His statement
is as follows:
when l learned of my daughters
marriage TO Bryan Pratt Wednesday,
evening, was pleased with the knOwl
edge, as / was we'll acquainted with
the young mans family and had
known him from the time he was born
until he was a young man.
81 was called to ST. Mary's yester-
day morning On business appoint
ment with my mother-in-law, Mrs.
Anna kippenbcrg. Soon after my ar
rival | advised Mrs. Kippenb erg of
Friada's marriage to young Pratt, and
she suggested that we inform his
father, B. D. Pratt, and his aunt, Mary
Madison, Il sister to his father, who
live together in st. Mary's.
"My mother-in-Iaw stepped to the
phone and called Mrs. Madison up and
asked her TO come over as quickly as
possible. She said that she wanted to
surprise her. Mrs. Madison came over
few minutes later and when | told
her that Frieda was married to her
nephew, Bryan Pratt, she exclaimed
that it must be a mistake, as Bryan
was already married and his wife and
child were living IN st. Louis. She
became so excited and hysterical that
she could not talk, and Immediately
sent for Mr.. Pratt.
when the young mans father ar
rived he cOrrobOrated the statement
made by Mrs. Madison. He said that
the fact of the marriage had been con-
cealed from acquaintance in st.
Marys, but that his son had married
several years before and that he aban-
doned his wife and child two years ago
since which time he had never con-
tributed anything to their support. He
gave me the address o. the wife in st.
Louis, but | have misplaced it and at
this time am unable to find it.
"He told ne that Bryan had for
many years been a source of great
trouble to him on account of his per-
sistent association with low people,
and that he had been compelled to pay
out much money in getting him out of
difficulties.
"Mr. Pratt and Mrs. Madison both
urged me 20 go at once and take my
daughter. Both were sorely grieved,
but neither showed the slightest SYM
pathy for the young man.

Negro Accused
OF Raid On Hen
.Roost At Night
PleZ Parker Must Prove To
Court He Didn't To t e
Away Seven Fryers.

Plez Parker, a transient negro who
has for the past two weeks loitered in
this city, was arrested yesterday aft
ernOOn by Chief Hutson and Officer
John Groce, charged with having re-
moved seven frying-sized chickens
from the hen roost of Fireman Casey
Ransom on Good Hope street. He was
placed in jail for the night, and will
be given hearing before Judge Orren
Wilson sometime today.
Yesterday morning }:hen Fireman
Ransom appeared at his home for
breakfast after having spent the night
at the fire station, his attention was
directed to the broken lock on his
chicken house door. He began his in
Vestigations by taking a count on his
flock of young chickens, which dis
closed the fact that seven of the
choicest Of his yellow legged pets
were missing.
While he was trying to locate them,
one of his cclored neighbors, an old
aunty, who lives on the alley back of
the Ransom premises, threw some
light on the mystery when she volun-
teered the information that Plez Par
ker had raided the hen house at 9
o'clock in the morning.
She said that she was sitting on her
porch, being unable to sleep on ac-
count of the heat, and that she saw
Plez come into the alley and stealthily
enter the rear of the Ransom prem
ises. She said that he did not observe
her sitting op the porch, and that she
watched him from the time he broke
into the chicken house until he emerg-
ed with a large load of poultry. She
told Mr.. Ransom that Plez was carry
ing hatcnet when she first saw him
and when he reached the door of the
hen house he used it to batter the lock
until he could pry it apart.
A close lookout was kept for the
suspected darky all through the day,
but nothing was seen of him until
about dusk. Late yesterday afternoon
Officers Hutson and Groce approach
ed one of the negro houses near the
Houck crossing on Good Hope, each
coming from different directions,
thinking they could perhops surprise
and capture their man in the building
where he had been seen on various
occasions. The search failed to reveal
the whereabouts of the fugitive, and
they returned to Haarig, where they
renewed their search. A few moments
| later their attention was directed to a
party answering the description of the
man sought, and when the Chief ap-
preached him and called him by name,
the negro responded without any ap-
parent suspicion. After a brief dis
cussion of the climatic conditions, tenn
perature, etc, Chief Hutson asked
Plez where he was working. Plez re-
Sponded that he was employed at the
brickyard. Then the Chief asked him
if his full name was not Plez Parker,
and when he received an affirmative
reply, thenegro was ordered to stand
up and be searched, as it had been re-
ported that Piez most commonly toted
a gun. He had evidently left his shoot
ing irons at home as no weapons were
found in his possession. He was con-
veyed to the police station and there
placed in iail to await his hearing to-
day.

EXPLODING
DESTROYS FOUR
CHAFFEE HOMES
Fire Starts With Family at
Theatre and Spreads to
Nearby Residences.
DYNAMITE is USED
TO SAVE THE CITY
High Wind Threatens Town But
Bucket Brigade Exiting
uishes Blaze.

The explosion of a coal oil lamp
last night burned four residences in
Chaffee and for time threatened the
city with destruction.
The fire started in the Alsup home
on Helen avenue and spread to three
adjoining residences, destroying them
all. The occupants of the buildings
were at a picture show, and upon re-
turning to their homes, discovered the
blaze.
The occupants of the adjoining
houses also were at the theater, and
when the fire was noticed, the build
ings were a mass of flames. The wind
was blowing gale, and from the AL
sup residence, the blaze spread to two
houses owned by Mr.. Hartz. The four
buildings were afire at the same time,
and people from every section of the
town Joined the army of volunteer
firemen.
w. NJ. Aker, yardman for the Frisco
Railroad, informed The Tribune at an
early hour this morning that the blaze
had been placed under control by the
use of dynamite.
Huge charges were placed under the
burning structures and discharged to
prevent the fire igniting other build
ings along Helen avenue and thus
threatening the city.
Men, women and children carried
water to combat the flames. Hundreds
of buckets were poured on the burn
ing torches, but the fire ragged as if
unmOlested. Finally the suggestion
was made that dynamite be exploded
to check the spread of the blaze
Blasts were placed under one of the
buiIIing belonging to Alsup and Gn-
der one of the houses owned by HART.
These were set off at about the same
time, and the two buildings collapsed.
This gave the firefighters an advan-
tage which eventually resulted in the
blaze being conquered.
Mr.. Aker, who telephOned the story
of the fire to The Tribune, said the
loss was caused by an oil lamp. 1t
was left burning in the building occu-
pied by the Aslups when the family
departed for the theater.
at is supposed that the burner be-
came defective" said Mr.. Aker. when
the family returned home they found
the building a mass of flames and the
building, adjoining the Alsup residence
which also was owned by Mr.. Alsup,
was afire. Before this fire could be
placed under control, the two Hartz
houses began TO burn.
'None was injured and the loss will
not amount to more than $4,000 to
either Mr.. Alsup or Mr.. Hartz. The
total damage not exceeding more than
$4,000"

Pratt showesed his attentions upon
the young Cape Girardeau girl The
parents of the young woman knew of
Pratt's family connections and did not
object to his courting their daughter,
but they never suspected that their
daughter had seriously considered
matrimony.
Pratt is a direct descedant Of a
prominent old st. Louis family, who
was prominent in that city in ante
belum days. Through marriage he is
said TO be related to former Governor
David z. Francis. Members of his
family are now well-known in ST.
Louis, a brother being a well-knOwn
attorney.
Mr.. McClatchey, whose wife is a
cousin of former Mayor Noonan of St.
Louis, held a position in the city water
department under the Noonan admin
istration, and while a resident of the
Mound City, became acquainted with
the Pratt family. These are some of
the reasons why he approved of the
young man showing attention to his
beautiful daughter.
But neither Mr.. McClatchey nor his
wife suspected that their daughter
was planning to be married. When
they received a telephone message
from her at Advance Wednesday even
ing stating that she had become the
bride of Pratt, they were surprised
but not displeased. But the revela-
lations that followed has stunned the
bride and her parents.
Pratt has been at Advance for sew
eral weeks introducing his cOmpany's S
invention. And while there he made
many visits to this city to see Miss
McClatchey. At his request she went
to Advance Tuesday evening and reg
istered at hotel. The following day
they were married by Justice of the

had been somewhat indisposed for sew
eral days, and went through the for
mality of the wedding ceremony while
| lying in bed.
| Immediately after the wedding serv-
/ ice, the bride telephoned to her family
and asked forgiveness, which was
promptly granted and the newlyweds
were einvited to come to Cape Girar-
deau and have a wedding supper with
the brides family. But because OF
Pratt's indisposition, they declined
with thanks.
The pregty bride knew nothing of
her husbands past matrimonial ven
ture until her father and mother ar
rived in Advance yesterday afternoon.
She was broken-hearted over the reve-
lations made by her father. And when
