While Mrs. A. M. Madigan, with her
mother, Mrs. Ell. O. Davis. and little
son, Schofield, were driving down the
| street Monday afternoon, the horse
became frightened and after running
a short distance dashed into a tele-
phone pole, in front of DR.. Farrar's
office, on Main street, and the three
occupants of the rig were thrown to
the ground. Mrs. Davis was badly
bruised about the neck and shoulder
but suffered no serious injury. Mrs.
Madigan and the boy were not hurt.
1t was indeed a lucky escape and
might have been much more serious.
The horse became frightened at one
of the shafts getting loose and falling
on his leg.
Sheriff Parks and Deputy Laxton
departed for Bunker yesterday morn
ing, armed with three or four warrants
for parties who are charged with
boot-legging whiskey, and just before
going to press a message was received
in Centerville from the Sheriff saying
he had arrested two of the parties
wanted and had u one into the
woods. Some very bad reports have
come from Bunker the past few weeks
and Prosecuting Attorney Johnson
began an investigation with the above
result. Not long since some parties
living at Bunker found a coffin just
outside of the town which had been
partially buried and leaves thrown
over the top. Several citizens went
to the place and uncovered the coffin
and found it filed with quart bottles
containing tsred liquor. "-Reynolds
County Outlook.
We are reliably informed that par
ties who have been driven out of the
saloon business in st. Francois Coun-
ty by local option will cross the line
into Washington County and start a
"barrel house." Our informant states
; that these parties have already obtain
"a = a;to e., tha nronooo1 inipt lOoot-
. ed between Irondale and Frankelay'
! If this plan is carried out it will be q
|; misfortune to Washington County
! for it will transfer the scene of more
or less frequent murders from st
q Francois County to our own bounda-
ries, to pile up criminal costs on the
! taxpayers of Washington County. o.
! course there is no law to preventthese
men from establishing their barrel
/ house there, but we can safely predic'
that if they do start it, Washington
County will shortly afterwards hold
2 local option election. -Potosi Journal
Z A number OF cattle, some ten o.
3 twelve head in all, have died during
4 the past week in and neal Greenvill'
e under rather peculiar circumstances
We understand that the local railroad
company recently ~sprinkled a solution
: of some kind along the tracks il
order to kill the weeds and grass
Some think that the cattle wer'
|. poisoned by eating the grass or weed
along the tract that had been sprinkl'
q ed with the solution. H.. j. Seabaugh
State Veterinarian of Pennington
IS was sent for. He came Monday ant
made an examination of the animals
, He took away some of the content
n of the animals stomachs and also, W
understand, a quantity Of the solutio
used by the railroad company in orde
J. to have it analysed and to determin
N whether or not it was the cause of tn
! death of the cattle. -Greenville Sun.
