Mrs. J. F. Cation and family of SO Es-
sex avenue, Swampscott, Mass, went
last June to their summer cottage at
Ogunquit, Me-, taking with them the
family pet cat Tiger. The cat on the
day following the arrival there disap-
peared. Mrs. Cation heard a scratching
at the door of the Swampscott home
last Saturday and found Tiger anxious
to be admitted. His paws were bis
tered and sore, the claws being worn
to the roots. He took his accustomed
place behind the stove. Tapped up sew
eral dishes of milk and curled up for a
snooze, just as though he had never
been away from home. The distance
walked by the cat is nearly 100 miles.

the house owner was adjudged guilty

F'remstad, grand opera star and Swed-
ish songbird, was married Saturday at
her beautiful country home on the
shores of Highland lake, Bridgton. to
Harry Brainerd, New York musician.
The simplicity of the whole affair was
in keeping with the retired way in
which Miss FremStad has lived since
she first went to Bridgton some four
years ago. The bride built bungalow
camp when she first discovered Bridg-
ton. which since has become a colony
for singers and artists. This camp she

Bananas are much more digestible

Babies can eat baked banana with

NEGRO SLAYER FLEES TO PENNSY;
 AVA|LS. NAUGH1
Alonzo Glover, Wanted for Killing of Jim White, Ne
 gro, in Custody.

When Alonzo Glover, negro, fatally shot Jim White, a good darkey, near Wahbaseka, about three months ago, he fled the state, and finally found his way into Pennsylvania, where he let himself become known as Colbert Glover. He didn't know that White died in the Davis hospital a few days after the shooting, as result of the wound, but he was taking no chances on arrest, and so&ght to put as much territory between himself and the scene of his crime as he could.
 Glover doubtless thought. as the weeks passed and he escaped atten- tion from the officers at Chester, a little town about 30 miles from Philadelphia, that he had eluded the officers and would never be compcll- cd to face trial for his crime. But
 The arm of the law is long, it's memory tenacious, and Sheriff R. Il. Williams is persistent in running down evil-doers. Though White has been buried these several months, and the killing was rapidly being IloWuCu put Ol tiC llShiOiy VI ih"''' by the rapid sequence of other events, the sheriff remembered. and-remem- bering, kept to the chase.
 Not many days ago he hit the trail of Alonzo, known in the Pennsylvania town as Colbert Glover. Picking it up, figuratively speaking, the sheriff tracked Glover to Chester. A tele- gram to the chief of police of Chester, containing Glover's description, brought quick action and response. MT. Williams yesterday received a message from Chief of Police John Vance of Chester that he had the fug- itive in custody; that Glover admits killing" and twill go without requi- sition."
 Sheriff Williams expects to depart tomorrow for Chester to return Glow CT to Jefferson county for indictment and trial on a charge of murder.
 The killing occurred when Glover, who was a tenant for White, was lep- rimanded by his employer for failure to do his duty. Glover is said to have gone to his home, procured shotgun and shot White, who died in the Dav- is hospital a few days later. .
 J. A. Hudgens of Wabbaseka has authorized Sheriff Williams to pay the Chester chief of police $50 as re- ward for arresting AlOnZo.

UNUSUAL PLEA BY DEFENDANT
 IN CIVIL SUIT
+. s. Hi]liard Contends Ike Was Immune While on
 Income Tax Trip.

An unusual plea is advanced by F. S. Hilliard of Chicot county in sup port of motion to Quash summons in a suit filed against him in Jeffer- son county circuit court by lt. C. Hol- land and J. P. Cady, who sock judg- ment for $2,5O0, claimed as duo un- der an agreement by which they un- dertCok to sell certain lands for Nr. Hilliard.
 The defendant recitcs he was scrv- cd with summons in the suit at Pine Bluff while he was passing through the county on his way to his home in Chicot county from Little Rock, to which city he had been summoned by Collector of Internal Revenue Jack Walker to aid in rectifying an error made by clerk in connections with Nr Billiards income tax return. De- fendant pleads that under the circum- stances. he was immune from being sued while in Jefferson, Little Rock or any counties through which he wns compelled to pass to and from Little Rock on the mission described.
 Mr. Hlliard also recies that nlain- tiffs filed a similar suit in Chicot county, in May. 1916, and sets up that plaintiffs could not prosecute two suits of the same character at the same time. His answer and motion. specifically states he does not enter his appearance. contains the answer made to the complaint filed by plain- tinffs in Chicot county in which de- nial of the allesa tons is made He says plaintiffs made him proposi- tion but he rejected it, and did not list with them his land.

SURVIVORS TELL
 OF BATTLE WITH
 SEA ON COLLIER
Continued from page one.)

When the Comanche passed the wreck of the Hector, the revenue cut ter Seminole was nearby, the liner reported.
 The Wellington, storm battered her. self and having lost two barges, worked for six hours taking off mem bers of the crew and marines which the Hector was taking from Port Royal to Guantanamo.
 Capt. Joseph Newell of the Hector and about 20 men were taken off later by the steamer Cypress, and the broken Hector left to her fate. No member of the ships company was lost, but four were hurt.
 The Hector left Charleston light ship Wednesday, and Thursday morn ing about o'clock ran into the worst of the hurricane that was sweeping up the coast. During Thursday huge waves broke over the vessel and the water entered the matches, survivors said, flooding parts of the holds and disabling the engines. When she was unable to make way wireless calls for help were sent out.
 Fires Start in Hold.
 As the big collier rolled in the water at the mercy of the wind, which was driving her toward Cape Romain, fires broke out in the hold. They did not gain great headway, but added to the terror of thoSe aboard.
 The tug Wellington, with two daughters of Captain Nelson of the Wellington aboard, reached the col Her at 1 o'clock Friday afternoon, about one hour after the vessel had grounded IA miles north-northeast of Cape Romain. The Electors launch had been incapacitated by the storm, but small boat with line put out and succeeded in reaching the Yelling ton. The dangerous work of trans ferring the men was immediately started and continued for six hours.
 Ten Adrift in Two Boats.
 Captain Newell, with about a score of men, elected to remain in the for ward part of the Hector, which then had almost parted at about midships. The Wellington started for this port and the Cypress set out to take off Captain Newell and his men, as it seemed certain there was no chance to save the collier. At o'clock last night Captain Newell and his men were forced to leave the Hector.
 There were five men aboard each of the barges the Wellington lost while trying to tow them from Phila- delphia to Jacksonville. The Well lington left today to search for them
