Brown Hotel Changes Hands

Saturday afternoon the Brown
Hotel changed hands. Mr.. and
Mrs. William Willett selling to
W. A. Berry of Camden, Mo.
The change came as a surprise
to the people at the hotel who
knew nothing of the deal until
Mr.. and Mrs. Berry and family
arrived and took charge. The
new management expected to
run the hotel in excellent shape
and make it the best hotel the
city has had for a long time.
Mr.. Berry is a man who has
been in the business for years
and knows his end of it right.
Mr.. and Mrs. Willett retired
after owning the place for year
or more. They state as reason
for leaving the hotel, the condi-
ton of Mrs. Willett's health as
she had been in poor health for
the last few months. Mr.. and
Mrs. Willett will be here for a
while and will leave in a month
or so for Kansas City, it is said

A GENUINE HOLDUp
Talented Man With Gun Gets
Ray LObban's Six Bits
And Knife.

Ray Lobban Of Salisbury was
held up and robbed Sunday night
about 11:30 O'Clock, by a man
who compelled him to hold up
his hands and deliver rs cents,
knife and a bottle of cologne.
Ray says that he was so sur
prised when he was asked to
halt that he was unable to 90
further and that when the man
had taken his property he was
unable to frightened to move on.
Ray went along the sidewalk
along the west side of the Price
park near the northwest corner
near where the cannon is loca-
ted.
He heard someone say Hold
up your hands,. Ray thought
at first it was jokesmith and
said DO you mean itw ''Yes,
l mean it, was the reply and
Ray showed up his hands. How
much have you got," said the
highwayman. Seventy five
cents" said Ray "but l would
like to have two bits to get home
on. The robber was obdurace
however and Ray coughed up the
six bits, a knife and the said
pint of cologne.
Ray told about the affair Mon
day morning and declared it the
novel experience of a life. He
said that he feared at the first it
was local talent who had framed
up a game on him but afterward
was convinced that it was a gen.
uine holdup. This is the first
time that a regulation holdup
had been noted on our streets
for long time and just proceed
ing the city election was con-
sidered by many as an augur of
a more progressive city.

More For Karcher

The poet who SAID thattroubles
never did come singly seems to
have given vent to this thought
especially for Tom Karcher Of
Salisbury who has been busy in
the trouble line recently along
the wet road. The latest develop
ment is his arrest under Is sepa-
rate charges of failing to make
oath and bond not to adulterate
intoxicating liquors.. He gave
fifteen bonds of 500 each for
his appearance at the next term
of circuit court.

tees on various duties necessary
to the success of what can be
made the greatest event in the
county and make all other gener-
al preliminary arrangements.
The mayor and Council and the
Commercial Club can distinguish
themselves by their efforts in
support of the plans adopted by
the Monument Committee and
every citizen, not only Of our
town, but of the county should
feel and display an interest in
the occasion. 1t is with the citizen
ship of the entire county, the
success of the event by no means
depending on the people of the
great Missourians home town.
There was an organization
here of veterans of Genera

appear to have forgotten their
leader, or no longer inclined tt
do him honor.

Congressman c Rucker Home

Hon. w. W. Rucker arrived
from Washington the latter part
Of last week, via his old West
Virginia home and a health re-
sort near Hot Springs. Ark.
where he accompanied his broth
er James who has been on the
sick list for some time.
Judge Rucker is looking fine
and feeling in the best of spirits
over the conditions as they ap-
pear all over the country as a re-
suit of the acts of the admins
tration and congress, as we'll as
the great encouragement he is
receiving from every county in
his district based on the hearty
endorsement of his course in
congress.
Judge Rucker relies on the
opinions of experts who believe
that great prosperity is just
ahead of this coutry, and that
with a measure of crops compar-
ed with the present prospects,
we will overtake the elusive con-
dition at the opening of harvest.
It will be remembered that
since the election of President
Wilson, no member of congress
has had more than a breathing
spell from attendance on almost
continuous sessions and practic-
ally no time to get about among
his constituents and learn their
particular desires, but now that
no extra session confronts this
very important branch Of the
government, Judge Rucker will
find great pleasure in getting
about over his district and meet
ing personally all he can posi-
bly, see, instead of jumping in
to two or three places and max
ing a speech at each and forced
to be content with a hasty hanC
shake. The people in eacf
county in his district may expec
to see him among them a whole
lot before he is required to re
turn to his post in Washington
and none of them will enjoy th'
meeting more than the sociabl,
Judge.

AUDITORS ARE HERE.
First Examine the Books of
the County Treasurer
For Two Years.

The force from the office OF
the state auditor is on the job
at the court house auditing the
county books. They are at work
at present on the books of the
Treasurer.
In a talk with a reporter Mon
day morning the three men on
the job stated that there would
be two more here this week,
making five men who are busy
in the county court room balanc-
ing up the treasurer's books.
The men are L. W. Weller, j.
C. Craig, E. S. Casey, H. S.
johnson and D. B. Cook. These
men have finished the books of
Randolph county and returned
their report to the state auditor.
They said that any information
that was given out must come
from the Office of the auditor.
When asked how long the job
would last, they said that it was
impossible to say at present as
this depended upon develop
ments resulting from the audit
ing of the books. They first
went back two years and if ne.
cessary then, they went back
two years farther back and as
far back as might be necessary
to clear up any discrepancies
When asked if anything had de-
velcped thus far that might b'
of interest to the public the mer
declined to say. 1t is reported
that the men are drawing 81 PEI
day for their work and they res
easy and wisely decline to taxi
any chances of spilling th'
beans. It is reported obitel
dicta that the treasurer's book
in Randolph county for the pas
few years showed inaccuracie'
to the extent of only a few
cents.
