TUDIE MOORE GETS SINNER
IN FIGHT ON STEAMER CAPE
Engages in Fist Battle Royal with W.
III. COggins-Captain Lcyhe End
Fight and Has Both Arrested.

Tudie Moore, well known in the
Cape, this morning is wearing black
eye as a result of a fist fight he en-
gagged in last night with w. H. Cog
gins On board the Str. Cape Girardcau
which took out a large crowd last
night on the Eagles Lodge excursion.
The men got into a quarrel over a
girl and soon resorted to blows when
COggins was returned a victor. The
fight was ended when Captain Buck
Leyhe interfered and both men were
arrested shortly after the stage-plank
was lowered on the return to the
Cape.
Captain Leyhe despatched one of his
roustabouts on shore to summon Pa
trolman Arthur Whitener, who board
ed the vessel and placed the two men
under arrest and escorted them to the
police station. Cash bonds of $25
each were put up by the two men for
their appearance in Police Court in the
morning.

party to which they belong, but who
serve nobody but themselves.
"They have devoted their whole
thought and effort for years to per-
petuating their holdup on power and
to creating new offices and commits
sions with fat salaries for their fam
lilies and friends" the platform says,
speaking of the members of the DEM

the State Treasury or supported by
official fees imposed upon honest in
dustry and business, were wrung from
the general public, while at the same
time the legitimate charge of Govern
ment and of public education and state
wardship are not met, and bankruptcy
threatens the financial administration
of the fifth state in the Union in pop
ulation and wealth and natural re-
sources.
"These conditions have become in
tolerable," the platform says. "The
present Democratic administration is
thoroughly discredited and a change
is imperatively demanded; nor does
the ticket of the Democratic party, re-
Gently nominated, offer any promise of
relief to the voters of the state"
The platform puts the party square
ly on record in favor of the adoption
of a budget system, under which-the
anticipated revenues may be computed,
the necessary amount required for all
state expenditures ascertained. and ap-
preparations kept within the limits of
available revenue. The platform adds
that the absence of the budget system
is no excuse for the Democratic ex-
travagance, resulting in the present
deplorable condition of state finances.

MRS. SEBASTIAN IMPROVING
Wife of GOrdOnviIle Farmer Has Op-
Grafton at St. Francis Hospital.

Mrs. John Sebastian, wife of the
we!l-known GordonvilIe farmer, who
had an operation for gall stones per-
formed yesterday morning at the hos
pital, last night was reported to be
improving.
Mrs. Sebastian was brought to the
Cape Tuesday night by DR.. Z. R.
Schoen of Gordonville and the opera
ton was performed after she had had
an opportunity to rest from her trip.
An operation also was performed
Tuesday afternoon upon 6-year old
boy who was brought to st. Francis
Hospital from Thebes, H., by his
father and Doctor Phelps. The opera
ton was to remove the appendix and
also a gangrenous condition that had
set in from the inflamed appendix. The
boy has a good chance to recover from
the operation, although his condition
was critical when he was placed upon
the operation table.

DENIES CANNIBALISM STORY
OF THIRTY YEARS WAR

Berlin, Aug. 21.-Professor DR..
Meinardus, director of the state arch
ives at Breslau, has investigated the
assertion of the London Times that
cannibalism was common in Germany
during and after the Thirty Years
War and that for this reason the Ger
man soldiers have no reason to feel su-
perior to negro troops of the Allies
whose fathers or grandfathers are hu-
man flesh eaters.
The Times printed extracts from
Persons History of Prussia" to prove
its contention and said:
at is we'll known that thousands of
human beings were killed and devour-
ed by the Germans between 1910 and
1860, especially in Silesia. Whole bands
of peasants were organized for this
purpose and the leader of one of these
man-eating hordes, a monster called
Melchior the Sharpshooter, alone kill
ed five hundred men, women and chill
dren, and with his followers at the
bodies of his victims"
DR.. Meinardus found full record of
the trial of this alleged German can
nibal leader in the Breslau archives.
He says:
"The story of the Times is pure
invention. 1t must be classed as one
of the legends which appear in all
countries and sometimes even find
their way into otherwise reliable bis
torical works, like Persons History
of Prussia The wholesale murderer
'Melchior the Sharpshooter' mentioned
by Pierson and the Times was bandit
chief by the name of Melchior Medloff
who was executed with large number
of his companions at Gels in 1854. This
criminal committed innumerable rob-
berries and murders, but the record of
his trial does not say a word about
canibalism. He was simply a high
way robber."

pital, the arm was aside to be doing
we'll.
The boy sustained the break last
Monday evening when he fell from the
back porch at his home in Smelterville
on the Rock Levee road. The child was
playing on the porch when he fell, a
distance of about ~ feet The boys
mother picked him up an dcarried him
into the house where a doctor was
summoned.
The arm was broken squarely off a
short distance above the elbow, and
the doctor declared that had the stub
end fthe arm been forced half inch
further it would have penetrated the
skin and formed compound fracture.
