A. B. Allstun of Denton, Mo.
Failed to Keep Record
of Morphine.
SAYS HE DID NOT
VIOLATE THE LAW
CommissiOer Rage Releases s
Physician on Bond of $1,000
Trial in October.

DR.. A. B. AllstU Of Denton, q small
place six miles west of Steele. Mo,
the second Southeast Missouri doctor
to be indicted by the April Federal
Grand Jury for a violation of the Har-
risen anti-narcotic drug act, was ar
rested yesterday and brought to this
city by I. S. Deputy Marshal George
c. Orchard.
Dr. AllStun was taken before l. S.
Commissioner Rage, where he fur
nished 4 bond of $1,000 for his appear
ance in the United States District
COurt in October. The doctors bond
was signed by A. Z. Denton. a farmer
living close to Allstun's place, who
accompanied him to the Cape. They
departed for their homes last night.
In the indictment that was returned
against Dr. Allstun he is charged with
having dispensed morphine without
having made the proper registry of
his operations with the Federal auth
critics.
When the Harrison anti-narcotic
drug law went into effect it became
neceSsa airy for all physicians handling
the dope" in any manner-writinC
prescriptions for it, or in any way
it possible for an individual
patient to get the stuf-to register in
the Internal Revenue Department.
The law went into effect March l,
1915. At that time physicians regis
tered, but their registry was good for
only the remainder of the govern
ment's fiscal year. or until June so.
On July l of last year it became
necessary for physicians to register
AGAIN.
DR.. Allstun registered properly the
first time, but failed to register at the
expiration Of the period. He cOntin-
ned to issue prescriptions for dope"
however, the investigation of Frank
I. Digges, deputy Collector of the In
-ernal Revenue, discovered, and as a
he violated the laws
DiGges' investigation disclosed that
he doctor had issued prescriptions for
I dram of morphine to Mamie Miles
If Caruthersville last August. In
5Suing the prescriptions he used the
I'D registry number, DigGes declares.
When DR.. Allstun was brought to
he Cape and taken before L. S. Com
missioner Kage for his bond, he de
,lared that he was at Il loss to know
n what manner he had violated the
Harrison law.
He departed, saying that he intended
% send to st. Louis for a copy of his
Indictment to learn how he broke the
aw.
d.. &. L. Ellis Of Poplar Bluff was
brought to the Cape last Sunday by
Orchard, charged with not having kept

GIRL, 10, FALLS
FROM TREE,BRAIN
HAS CONCLUSION
Ermine Chappius May Have
Fatal Injury-Skull Pro-
badly Fractured.
CLIMBED TREE TO GET
KITEFOR BOY FRIENDS
Hit Playmate in Fall, Struck
Ground on Back and
Shoulder.

Ten-year-old Ermine Chappius, a
daughter of Vincent Chappius, car
penter living at Ais North Main street,
suffered injuries last night which may
prove fatal when she fell % feet out
of tree into which she had climbed
to get Il kite for some boys with whom
she had been playing.
The child sustained a concussion of
the brain and probably a fracture Of
the skull at the base of the brain.
The boys for whom she was doing the
climbing fed from their play-mate's
side after she mad fallen.
She was picked up unconscious by
her father, who witnessed the fall. He
carried her into their home nearby
and began working over his daughter
in an effort to restore her to con-
sciousness.
When his efforts were Intellectual
he sent for Father Walsh Of ST. Vim
cents College, and at the same time
DIR. R. P. Dalton was summoned.
The doctor succeeded in reviving the
child and worked for several minutes
to save her life. Her condition was
considered very critical last night.
. The child had been playing with a
brother and sister, Ralph and Flora
Chappius, as well as Edna Woods, 5
years old, and Marys Woods, who live
in the same house with the Chappius
family.
The five children met some strange
boys on top of the hill in the rear of
their home and within a short distance
of the home of J. G. Reynolds, on
Bellevue Heights. The boys had man.
aged to get their kite caught in a tree
which stands on the brow of the hill
and they urged the Chappius girl to
60 after it for them.
She had clambered high in the
branches of the tree and was working
her way out toward the place where
the kite had become fastened. Her
father, returning home from his work
at about that time, happened to see
his daughter clinging TO the small
limbs of the tree. He called to her
to get out of the tree at once. The
little girl obeyed her father, and with
out having reached the kite she began
making her descent. After she had
taken a couple of steps toward the
ground she missed her footing and
fell.
The father and Mrs. Ida Woods saw
the child fall from the upper branches
of the tree. The smaller children be-
meath were helpless to aid her. As she
fell she struck Edna Woods a glancing
blow across the shoulders and the con-
tact with the Woods child turned the
ChaEpiuS girl in the air so that she
landed flat on her back, striking her
head and right shoulder heavily on the
ground.
The Woods girl was unhurt from the
blow she had received in her compan-
ions fall. The Chappius girl, how
ever, sustained severe bruises on the
right shoulder in addition to the con-
cussion of the brain and the probable |
fracture of the skull.

FIRE DESTROYED
HOME AND CONTENTS
Still Alarm Turned in This Afternoon
For Fire Which Burned Residence Of
Rev. c. ID. Bell North of City

The Moscow fire department this af-
ternoon responded to still alarm to
lextinguish a blaze at the home of Rev.
lC. d. Bell north of the old fair
grounds in the northern part of town,
but before the department reached the
scene the flames had gained such
headway that the work of the depart
ment was confined to saving nearby
buildings which was done effectively.
The two-story frame dwelling and
contents were practically totally de-
stroyed, though the family saved a
good portion of the personal effects.
The loss is estimated at $2500. The
fire originated from an explosion OF
gasoline mangler in the kitchen where
members of the family were at work
and fortunately none of the members
of the family suffered injury. The
flames spread with such rapidity
throughout the house that it was al
most impossible to save the personal
belongings. Chief Mordhorst stated
that the fire department worked her
oically in preventing a spread of the
flames, though the fire was extremely
hot.

Hold Germans in Check

PARIS, April 22.-Advancing be-
hind shield of liquid fire the Ger
mans last night occupied the trenches
on the slopes of Deadman's hill, the
official communique admitted today.
1t is asserted that counter attacks
completely ousted them. Violent
fighting developed north and north
east of Verdun following heavy bonn
bardments. The Germans attempted
to capture the trenches surrounding
Fort Verdun, evidently a preliminary
to attacking the fortress itself. The
artillery prevented the Teutons from
emerging from the trenches and caus-
ed heavy losses among the few COM
panies attacking. The statement said
that scores of batteries of cannon
were rushed to the assistance of the
British in the recent battle at Ypres.
