THE HCN TON RESTAURANT
ROBBED.

Last Sunday night the Bon Ton
Restaurant was broken Into aud
one-hundred and twcnty-eight
dollars taken from a drawer. Mon
day morning the theft was report
ed to Marshall R. A. I.innell and
he went to work on the case.
Whsre the scresn was torn away
to enter the restaurant there was
quite lot of grease, SO that any
one entering would necessarily get
some of it on their sholder. At
table in the restaurant Msnday
morning sat young white boy
eighteen or nineteen years old,
eating his breakfast and the Mar
shall noticed that lie had some
grease on his coat just about where
be thought the thief would carry
the mark, So he asked him where
he was the night before. The boy
replied that he was in the restau-
rant about eleven clock, but had
t,eu left and gone to friends
house a shert distance oit OF town
and had remained there that night
Then the marshall took him to the
friends house to nd out just about
what time he really did get there.
He was informed that 1t was $50
or 800 o clock a. N. Monday morn
Ing when he arrived. SO he brought
the boy back and put him in Jail.
After sweating a while in the CoOll
er, and under a promlce that if he
would return the money he would
not be prosecuted. but allowed to
90 home In Arkansas, the boy com-
fessed to the theft and led the way

The Hon. Bsn G. Humphreys,
. our popular congressman, was in
Rosedale Thursday afternoon and
night, and spoke in the tent of the
Chautauqua on THE Mexican
Policy of President Wilson." The
speech was strong and clear. prov
lug the President to be right in
every phrase Of Our relations with
| Mexico. If this SAME speech could
be repeated from the platforms of
the North, East and West. we be-
lieve that Mr.. Wilson would be re
elected by very large majority
of the popular vote of the Uuited
States.
The speaker showed that there
were powerful interests i'll the
United States. owning many thous-
auds of acres Of land--ssveral States
of Northern Mexico--that were
doing all in their power TO force
the United States 10 intervene in
Mexico. They want this country
to annex Northern Mexico and
thus make their property more val
liable. It is said hat one man owns
land just south of the border which
takes a railroad train eight hours
to travel through. Then there arc
many other interests that want
the United States to step in and
pull thar chesnuts from the FIRE.
President Wilson does not intend
to be used as catspaw.
| Mr.. Humphreys explained why
the embargo on arms ana amuni-
ton was put OIL and raised at diff
ferent times in Mexico. He show
ed that the United States represen-
tative under President Taft stosd
| in with Huerta and was mixed up
In the assassination of Madero.
This happened thirteen da/s be-
fore TAFT left the presidential chair
aud the republican president left
the matter up to his successor
President Wilson refused to recog-
nize Huertc because of the assas-
sination of Madero. which was GER
tainly right and proper.
| The speaker told OF the Vera
lCruz incident. in which seventeen
American marines and a hundred
land twenty-three MeXicans were
killed. He told of the German
ship which was Oh its way to Mexi
20 with two hundred machine guns
land millions of rounds OF anmu'
Tuition, and tho steps the Preslden
ltook TO prevent this ammunition
Ito reach Hrerta. We were not a
war with Mexico, the country wa:
,uot blockaded, so we could no

munitions Of war from the captaii
so he did the only thing which
could prevent the shipment reach
ing tie Mexican forces-he seized
ItlL. custom house at Vera Cruz ano
ltlae arms and ammunition were de
Ilivered to the representatives o

OF the German ship.
In speaking of the salutirg o

said that when the demand wa

countries would engage in war

| and that the offer was accepted
