MISSISSIPPI MAYOR
UP FOR DOOTLEGG|NG'
LAD DRINKS FOUR @coLD ONES"
LEAVES SO CENTS, AND
TELLS ABOUT 1T.

Senatobia, Miss, Aug. 11.--W. o.
Perkins, mayor and postmaster of the
town of Independence, was today
tried and acquitted of the charge of
selling beer by jury in the justice Of
the peace court off,. s. Ruswurm. Mr..
Perkins has been mayor of the town
for several years and the charge was
a surprise to many of his friends. Sey-
eral young men of the town were used
by the state as witnesses, but only one
testified to having purchased beer
from the defendant, and his testimony
was that one day he heard the mayor
had some beer at his office, and right
then he thought of some business with
the mayor that he should have attend
ed to long ago, and to the mayors Of
flee he went, and killed four cold
ones" and before leaving he told the
mayor that he didn't want to ride him
for beer, and wanted to give him so
cents, and the mayor took it. The jury
said that the mayor was not selling.
The day of trial was mighty hot and
dry, anyway, and the vision of those
"four cold ones'' no doubt aroused
deepest sympathy.

YkzOO CITY GETS
PROMOTERS MONEY
MAN GIVES BOND TO BUILD RAIL
ROAD LINE, BUT DOES
NOT DO IT.

Yazoo City, Miss, Aug. 11.--A check
for $4,000, drawn by the Southern
Surety Company, has been covered into
the city treasury, as result of a
friendly suit decided in Chicago last
week, wherein the Yazoo Commercial
Club. representing the city, sought to
recover from the surety company
$4,000 on bond made by one Walter
G. Murphy, of Chicago, who defaulted
in the building of a new railroad from
Yaaoo City to Carthage.
Murphy came here three years ago,
and offered to build railroad from
Yazoo to Carthage. The city guaran-
teed the rights Of way and terminals
and $4,000 payable upon the compile
tion and operation of the railroad, and
advanced him $4,000 with which to
make surveys, Murphy giving bond
that he would have the road in opera
tion not later than July /, of this year.
Murphy failed to comply with his con-
tract, and the city, through the Yazoo
Commercial Club, which organization
was acting for the city, made demand
on the surety company for the $4,000.
The surety company replied that it
was ready to turn over the money as
soon as a court decree could be en-
tered showing liability, and Messrs. r.
H. Douthat, secretary, and e. r.
Holmes, president and attorney of the
club, were commissioned by the city
council to go to Chicago and close up
the details of the matter, and they did,
returning to Yazoo City, with check
for $4,000.
While the effort to secure new
railroad has failed, as will be seen
from above, it does not mean that the
project has been abandoned
It is very probable that this Car
thage railroad project will again be
taken up by promoters and capitalists
as soon, if not before, as the European
war is ended.

FIND II LITTLE oPossuMs
WRAPPED UP IN BAHAMAS

Norman, Okla, Aug. 11.-Thirteen
little mice jumped out of a crate Of
bananas that the clerks in a local store
were unwrapping and the men thought
that they had better kill them. But
the clerks noticed that they had long
black tails, so a consultation was held
before the battle continued.
Two Of the little mice were sent
out to the university DR.. Fl II Lane,
|of the zoology department, declared
them to be a species OF opossums
found in Honduras, Dr, Lane believes
that the mother was shipped in the
crate Of bananas from Honduras and
gave birth to the II little ones while
on her way to America, but that she
escaped before the fruit arrived in
Norman.

RICH WIDOW WEDs N. Y. COP

New York, Aug 1l.--So well did Po-
liceman William ]. Bowling patrol his
post in front of the home of Mrs. Ida
Lower, widow of the wealthy brewer,
Valentine Lower, of Rockaway Park,
l.. l., that he won her heart and they
slipped away few days ago and were
married. Not until today was it known
along the Rockaways that the fascinat-
ing widow with the fascinating for
tune had chosen a policeman for her
second husband.
With that news came the interesting
announcement that another wealthy
woman of the Rockaways had selected
a policeman for her husband. She is
Miss Nellie Johnston, daughter of the
late j. j. Johnston, Wholesale dealer
in hats and caps in Manhattan Her
choice is Detective Charles Sylvester
Bryan, of the Seventh branch bureau.
1t was said both marriages were rath-
er elopement-like.
Friends of Bowling suspected Cupid
was at work some time ago when he
began to wear a gold watch which he
said had belonged to Valentine Lower
and was worth $1,5OO. It contained a
set of chimes and an alarm which al
ways warned him when it was time to
"ring in the box"
A few days ago Dowling notified the
Rockaway Beach police station of a
change in his address. A sergeant
was sent to his new address today to
summon him to strike reserve duty,
and the sergeant was overcome by
surprise when he found himself enter
| ing the big Lower seaside estate on
Ocean Boardwalk, Rockaway Park.
