FIRST NATIONAL
Wins BIG suit.
JURY OUT LONG
Suit Filed by W. Fl. Stubble.
field for $4,000, Consider
ed Seven Hours.
d. A. GLENN MAY SOON
BE FREE ONCE MORE
Merchant Hopes to be Discharg-
ed from Bankruptcy in the
Autumn,

The suit brought Thy William H.
Stubblefield Jr., trustee of the d. A.
Glenn estate in bankruptcy, to recover
SIS 900 which was contributed by Mrs.
Glenn to the reclamation fund of the
First National Bank, was Won by the
bank before a jury in the Circuit Court
at Jackson yesterday. The jury, which
retired early in the afternoon, did not
reach its verdict until about O'Clock
last evening.
The testimony given at the trial re-
vealed the fact that Mrs. Glenn mort
gagged her home in this city to obtain
the money, which was used to assist
in re-opening the bank. The attor-
neys for the trustee held that the
money was paid by Mr.. Glenn, and
therefore should be turned back to the
trustee. This contention was based up
on the fact that Mrs. Glenn made the
check payable to Mr.. Glenn and he in
dorsed it over to the bank.
This is the last suit pending against
the First National Bank growing out
of it's closing about fourteen months
ago, due to bad loans made by L. S.
Joseph, the late cashier of the institu-
ton.
The First National Bank was repre-
scented by T. d. Hines and Ralph WOm-
mack, while r. B. Oliver and his son,
Durrett Oliver, represented the trus-
tee.
This suit, it is said, winds up the
bankruptcy case of David A. Glenn,
and will probably result in the we'll
known merchant being able to get his
discharge from bankruptcy at the oc-
tober term of the Federal Court here.
Litigation growing out of his bank

grounds for protest in the fact that
the manager of the Charlottesville
team failed to mail them a list of his
players three days before the game"
The protest on the rulings of the
umpire, was the result of his having
stopped the game on account of rain,
and later when he called upon them to
play ball, refused to grant time to To-
cate some of the players who had left
the park. Their failure to finish the
game caused him to rule it forfeited
to Charlottesville.
While the matter of protest was the
principal subject discussed, the meet
ing was regular monthly business
meeting and was not called especially
to handle the differences between Cape
and Charlottesville.
The officers attending were: S. S.
Thompson, representing Sikeston; ].
r. Holcomb, Dexter; Robert L. Brooks,
Poplar Bluff; F. w. Rainey, Caru-
thersville; Dep Barenkamp, Cape Cir
4rdeau. The only team not represent
ed at the meeting was New Madrid.
Since withdrawing from the league,
the difference of the two teams has
been dismissed, as arrange
ments were made last night between
Managers Barenkamp and Rainey for
a game between the two teams as in
dependent competitors at the Fair
grounds Park in this city next Sunday

MANIAC OUTWINDS
CROWD OF PURSUERS
Dressed in Furs He Races
Through West End, But
Policeman Gets Him.

A. C. Bright slipped away from his
home on South Hanover street last
evening, while mentally deranged and
for several hours evaded his pursuers
who followed him through dark alleys,
over lawns and across garden tracts
and private premises, in an effort to
Overtake him.
He appeared to be possessed of alb
normal powers of endurance, and re-
CARELESS of the fact that he was wear
ing hip boots, and was clad in a heavy
winter Overcoat, securely buttoned
with the collar turned up around his
ears and fur cap with the flaps
down, his pursuers dropped out of the
chase one after another, until finally
they all abandoned the hunt and re-
turned to their homes.
He continued then to wander over
the western section of the city, until
Officer John Groce slipped upon him
and took him into custody.
The capture was made near the cor
ner of Williams and Ellis streets, and
the prisoner was completely exhausted
and collapsed before walking a block
with the officer.
An automobile was pressed into
service and the demented man was
conveyed to the police station and
there placed in Jail to remain until
morning when some definite action
will be taken concerning him.
He lives with son and daughter on
South Hanover street, and has re-
Gently returned from sanitarium
where he had been placed on account
of his mental disorder.
He is about so years of age. He la
bors under the delusion that he is an
arctic explorer and that he is nearing
the north pole. He condemns DR.. Cook
and Capt. Perry as iInpOsters, and in
sists that he is rightly entitled to the
distinction of being the only man to
ever see the north pole.
He claims that it is in sight, and
his race last night was made in his
eagerness to reach the coveted goal.
When captured, his long white hair
was matted with perspiration and was
so saturated that it chung to him
in the same manner as If he had been
subjected to a drenching rain.

Few men loved and knew trees bet

serve the forests. and in one Of his
books he says:

lions have been tried and found want

experience as well as that Of every
civilized nation show conclusively that
the fate of the remnant of our forests
Is in the hands Of the federal govern

ANY fool can destroy trees. They
cannot run away. and If they could
they would still be destroyed chased
and hunted down as long as fun or a

plant them. Nor would planting avail

TWO NEEDED
 ON SAME DAY

Dawson News, June 24: One of the prettiest weddings thatI has taken place in Dawson was sol emnized last evening at St. An drew's church, when Miss Lily Isa- bel Thompson, nungest daughter of pr. and Mrs. w. 3. Thompson, of this city, was united in matri- mony with Clinton Robert Lewis of the engineering staff of the Canadian-Klondike Mining com pany.
 Dr. w. E. Thompson, father of the bride came to Dawson in the early days of the gold rush as sur geon of the Royal Northwest Mount ed Police, and held that position for many years. The bride has grown up in Dawson. She. came here with her mother as a tiny girl in '99 and has resided here almost continuously, with the exception of two years spent abroad. She is a graduate of the Dawson public school.
 The groom is the son of Rev. Lewis, pastor of one of the Pres byterian churches of Seattle. He was graduated from the University Of Washington two years ago with the degrees of bachelor of science and mining engineer and has been with the Canadian-Klondike the last two years. ....
 Dr. and Mrs. W. E. Thompson re- ceived word in a telegram that their eldest son, Charley Thompson, was married yesterday in New York city. The double nuptial event made it a great day in the life of Dr. and Mrs. w. E. Thompson.

July 4 In Ante. prohibition Days.


 One of the earliest genuine Fourth of July celebrations ever recorded-that a. Independence hall, Philadelphia, In 179O-is chronicled by Christopher Mar shall in his diary of the American. Rev olution. It is a graphic sketch, If not lovely one:
 "July 1: Commencement began at Philadelphia College this forenoon, at which many attended. This be- ing the anniversary of our freedom from English bondage, sundry vessels saluted the town. " The company of Artillery and the Invaders Regi' ment marched to the State House. where the Congress, President of the State and Council with a number of officers attended; bell-ringing, guns fir ing till the evening, and until numbers were so drunk as to reel home."
 It was a wonder any Independence hall was left. Perhaps on account of that very tendency to irresponsible drunkenness and equally irresponsible gunfre the more intelligent classes TO trained from encouraging celebrations of the Fourth at the statehouse

Arguments For
 The Sane Fourth

Some people, when the Fourth Of July rolls round, demand a flrecracker as big as a neck yoke.-Joliet News.
 The Fourth of July was not estab- lished as a holiday for foolishness, murder and confagration, but as an occasion whereupon the people might show their sense and fitness for the en- ioyment of liberty, peace and prosper ity. Let's be thoroughly American and have a sensible Fourth of July. Let US have more patriotism than fireworks, more happiness in life than trouble over injuries and sorrow over death.- St. Louis Republic.
 This Is an especially appropriate time to deal with this matter. The Fourth of July is approaching-Independence day-which is q day of blood and slaughter throughout the land, in the name of liberty. Scores are killed by gunpowder accidents on that day and hundreds wounded on that day and in the Joyous celebrations of the dawn of liberty. It Is a fearful price to pay for the celebration of a day.-Salt Lake Tribune.
 Parents who have boys who have a fondness for explosives, toy pistols and blank cartridges should study the sta- tistics of the annual tragedy and keep their flesh and blood out of the holo- caust.
 Also
 Dealers iu fireworks should study the figures in connection with the laws regulating the use of firearms and ex- plosiYes and realize the risk they run.
 And
 City councils should prepare to en- force ordinances already passed and to revise and bring up to date the laws respecting the sale and use of explo- sives on the day We celebrate.
 The Chinese method of American eel ebration is entirely too costly.-Wnkes- barre Leader.
