FAYVILLE HOTEL IS
DESTROYED BY fire
Home of Powder Mills Employees
Burns While They are
at Work.

The Dynamic Hotel at Fayville was
completely destroyed by fire yester-
day afternoon. The building was fill
ed to its capacity with guests, there
being about 80 registered when the
fire occurred. Many of them were
away at work in the powder mill in
another section of the town, and much
personal property was lost in the fire.
Several persons narrowly escaped Gre
nation, and some received serious
burns, but no lives were lost.
This building is occupied by the
men who are engaged in the manu-
facture of dynamite, and the black
powder hotel which was constructed
for the accommodation of the en-
ployes in the powder department, and
when the powder works
were shut down sometime ago, was
pressed into service and
used for the accommodation of the
guests who were forced out of the
building that had been destroyed.

ASKS $4,000 FOR
LEG UNANSWERED
Cal Watley Says Frog Caught
Him as He Crossed
Track.

Cal Watley, by his attorney, H. E.
Alexander, yesterday filed suit in the
Common Pleas Court of Cape Girar-
deau County, against the st. Louis,
Iron Mountain and Southern Railway
Company for damages to the amount
of $4,000.
The plaintiff alleges that through
neglect on the part of the defendant
to observe the laws requiring certain
safety appliances on its line of track,
he received injuries that entitle him to
the damages asked.
Watley was injured at Charleston,
Mo. on Nov. 6, 1914, while walking
across the yards to the passenger de-
pot. His foot was caught in switch
frog and before he was able to ex-
tricate himself, he was run over by a
passing train and one of his legs so
badly crushed that it was necessary
to amputate it.
The case will come up for hearing
at the May term, 1915, of the Com
mon Pleas Court in this city.

might be able to gain some knowledge
of the whereabouts of the lost rela-
tives.
After returning to Illinois, the post
master received an inquiry from a
woman in Sturdivant, concerning the
Womacks, and advising. that she had
recently discovered among her de-
ceased fathers papers, a document
that led her to believe that she had d
younger brother living in that Nicin-
ity, who had been adopted when the
children were of such tender years
that they could not remember.
The letter was given to Mr.. Wom-
ack, and the investigation that follow
ed, revealed the fact that he was the
brother sought, and that his two sis
ters were both married and living in
Sturdivant where their father had
moved with them before his death
many years ago.
Mr.. WOmack has never seen either
of his sisters since they were separat-
ed from each other about GA years ago,
and he and his wife were both exult-
ant in happy anticipation of the meet
ing.

ficials, but without results. Some Of
them have announced that they will
capture the ranging stock and hold it
as payment for the damage done by
the night riders. Others are planning
to secrete themselves in some remote
place and lie in wait for the maura-
ders. When they attempt to overturn
a fence or sever strand of wire, the
farmers propose to emerge from their
hiding place and begin a lombard
ment.
The principal damage has been sus-
tanned by farmers living in the vicin-
ity of Oroile. Among these are Henry
Bowers, J. B. Conner and Mr.. Sprakler.
Fred Alternately of Lemon was one Of
the farmers in that vicinity who suf-
fered the greatest loss.
Henry Bowers, few days ago made
a visit to Cape Girardeau and pur-
chased a shotgun to protect himself
from the raiders. He has announced
that he will shoot anyone caught de-
stroying his fences, and will hold any
stock which he finds grazing in his
grain fields.

WAGON BEARING
CASKET UPSETS
UPON TWO MEN
William VESSEL and William
Rose of Jackson Badly
Injured.
EARTH, LOSSENED BY
RAIN, SLIDES ON RIG
Undertaken Not Seriously Hurt
But Assistants Condition
is Serious.

Undertaken William VESSEL and his
assistant, William Rose, of Jackson,
while driving along the public road
near Tilsit yesterday afternoon, were
buried in an avalanche of earth and
boulders, which had been loosened by
heavy rainstorm, and sent crashing
down the steep mountain side. They
were delivering casket to Tilsit.
Both men were literally buried be-
meath the immense mass of earth,
rocks and logs, and before they were
rescued by residents of the community
who came with spades and shovels, it
was feared that both had lost their
lives.
The men were seriously hurt, but
unless it should develop that they have
received internal injuries, it is believed
they will recover.
The wagon in which they were rid
ing was reduced to complete wreck,
but the team escaped uninjured. The
casket which was being delivered to
Tilsit, was also covered up and when
recovered, was marked and scratched
but was not broken.
The men were driving along the foot
of the hill and had been conversing.
They were both suddenly attracted by
a roaring sound, and when they look
ed in the direction from which it came,
they saw a dense cloud of dust which
they at first mistook for a cyclone.
They said that they saw great trees
uprooted and broken as they were
struck by the irresistible mass as it
with increasing velocity down
the precipitous incline.
Before they were able to get out Of |
its patch they were caught and buried. |

CAPE COUNTY
NIGHT RIDERS
WRECK FENCES
Organization of Men, Who
Oppose Stock Law, Com
NIT Offenses.
ORIOLE FARMERS TO
START WAR ON BAND
Buy Guns and Will Declare War
Many Farms Are
Visited.

Night riders, who cut barD wire and
destroy rail fences, are making night
ly pilgrimages over the northeastern
section of Cape Girardeau County,
leaving destruction in their wake.
And it is all because of the stock
law. Since the voters of this county
adopted the law last autumn forbid
ding live stock to forage along road
sides and on unfenced tracts of land,
the farmers living in the vicinity of
Oriole and Lemon have enclosed their
lands in order to keep their cattle,
sheep and swine at home.
But there is an element among the
stockraisers who still permit their cat
tie to range over the countryside.
These men have taken offense at the
efforts of the farmers to prevent
ranging stock from invading their
fields, and are destroying fences.
Disguised with masks and queer
clothing, the night riders venture
forth after shutdown and wreck fences.
Clippers are used to destroy the barb
ed wire fences, and these fiscreants
frequently cut the strands of wire for
distances of more than mile at a
stretch.
Rail and board fences have been
torn down by the outlawed stockmen,
and their cattle and hogs have been
turned loose to Craze at will. Some of
the victims claim their crops have
been almost ruined by the invading
stock. Hogs have burrowed in both
wheat and corn fields, causing great
damage.
The farmers whose fences have
been destroyed and crops ruined, say
they have complained to the local Of

PRISONER ATTEMPTS
TO CARVE OFFICER
Whitener Compelled to Use Night
Stick on Carpenter From
Arkansas.

G. H. Wilkerson, carpenter, who
claims to have recently come here
from Arkansas, after desperate en-
counter with Patrolman Arthur White
ner, was arrested last night and placed
in Jail.
Wilkerson had engaged in an alter
cation with one of the crew of the
Government Steamer Fl. Gage, which
anchored at the landing in this city
last night, and when an effort was
made to quiet him he drew an open
knife from his hip pocket and attempt
ed to stab the officer. Whitener
truck him over the head with ms
club, and while he was dazed the po-
liceman handcuffed him and escorted
him to the police station.
Wilkerson told the officer that he
had been working for local contrac-
tor, and asked for permission to call
him up and ask that bond be provided.
Chief HutsOn was summoned to the
station from his home, and when he
the prisoner who still dis
played turbulent tendencies and spoke
abusively of the officer who had ar
rested him, it was concluded to hold
him in Jail until time for his hearing
this morning.
He is said to have attempted to
carve the sailor with whom he quar-
relied.
Charges will be filed against him
before the opening of court this morn
ng.

APART, TO MEET
IllinOisan Passes Through

to Join Kin.
LAST MET BEFORE THE
CIVIL WAR BROKE OUT
Death of Parents Separated Child
rem Who Will Reunite
Today.

Mr.. and Mrs. L. L. Womack, an
elderly couple of kornak, H., passed
through the city yesterday enroute to
Sturdivant where they will visit Mr..
WOmack's two sisters, neither of
whom he has seen since he was an
infant, more than 60 years ago.
Mr.. Womack is 66 years OF age, and
before he was two years old his moth
er died. His father, who was an in
valid, was compelled to give the baby
into the care of relatives of his dead
wife, while he struggled to provide
for the two older sisters, aged and
years. The families separated, and
the two sisters accompanied their
father to Southern Missouri, while the
boy, with his foster parents, was taken
to Kansas where they settled on a
prairie homestead.
The boy grew to manhood in ignor-
ance Of his family history, and after
he was grown he was informed of all
the facts concerning his past. He be-
came anxious to locate his father and
sisters, and spent many years ir What
appeared to be vain search Cr in
formation concerning them
In the meantime he ,narried a
young lady whose parents lived on a
neighboring ranch, and although
he settled down to the arduous du-
ties of a Kansas farmer, he never gave
up the search for his lost kinsmen.
He became prosperous and finally
amassed sufficient wealth to enable
him and his wife to live in comfort
during the remainder of their lives.
They disposed of their Kansas hold
ings and returned to the old Womack
home in Illinois, hoping that they

LIGHT COMPANY
SUIT UP TODAY
BEFORE KELLEY
Major HOuck Asks That
Street Car Deal Be Or
dered Carried Out.
BOTH SIDES READY
FOR LEGAL BATTLE
Result of Case Will Decide What
is to Become of Cape
Line.

The suit filed by Mai. Giboney
Houck against the Light & Develop
ment Company of St. Louis to compel
it to take over the street car line in
this city, in accordance with the con-
tract made between the Light and De-
velopment Company with the stock
holders of the road, will be begun in
the Circuit Court at Jackson today.
This case has been docketed for
trial before, but the court was unable
to get to it. Major Houck is assisted
by Senator Thomas F. Lane, and the
Light & Development Company is
represented by l. r. Kelso and Oscar
Knehans.
The suit is to enforce Specific per-
Torrance" or calls for large fine for
violation of the company's agreement.
The suit was filed six months ago
and docketed. When it came up for
trial, it was continued and suit in
tended to test the legality of the
street car company's franchise, which
had been filed two months after the
Houck suit, was listed ahead of the
suit filed by Major Houck.
The suit probably will determine
what disposition vii be made Of the
street car line in this city. If Major
Houck wins, the Light & Develop
ment Company, which owns the Mis-
souri, Public Utilities Company of this
city, will be forced to take over the
line and operate it. While the street
ear company has been in the hands of
the lighting company for two years,
the utilities company, it is said, has
never formally taken charge of the

Both men were unconscious when res
cued, and for sometime it was feared
that they had been killed outright.
They were finally revived and taken
to their homes in Jackson.
The wagon was turned completely
over and served as a sort of protection
to Mr.. VESSEL and Mr.. Rose who were
pinned under it.
Mr.. Rose was badly hurt, and his
back it is feared has been permanent
ly injured. Mr.. VESSEL received a
number of cuts and bruises, but his
injuries are not regarded as danger
