After having sentenced him to 30
days in iaiI, Judge Willer yesterday

He told Judge WilIer that the ma
chine had belonged to him before Mrs.
Ross. the negro woman from whom he
was charged with taking it, purchased
it. The Judge informed him that he

the hour the men entered, few pedes-
TRANS are on the street. No one was
seen while the highwaymen were in
the building, except the occasional
glance of the man stationed near the
front door.
Coy and Dunger were compelled to
stand close together, each looking
down a large revolver. The highway
man held a gun in each hand, one
pointing at the head of IIr. Coy and
the other leveled at Dunger.
Moments passed like ages" the
druggist told the Postmaster When
the men finally departed the druggists
were so badly frightened that they
stood sreechless for several minutes.
Marshal Amos believes the thieves
timed the robbery so that they could
get back to the railroad yards and
board an outgoing train. He and the
posse Of citizens FASTENED into the
railroad yards as soon as possible, but
no one Of the description furnished by
Coy and DunGer was seen.
Mr.. Amos also believes that the rob
berry had been arranged some time in
advance. As no strangers had been
noticed in the public places during the
night, it is believed that the highway
men went direct to the drugstore from
their place of hiding. As they dis
played an air of familiarity with the
arrangements of the drugstore and the
postofice. it is considered certain that
they mad been in the building on other
occasions. no doubt for the purpose Of
making preliminary arrangements to
rob it.

ROCK LEVEE ROAD
TO Be CUT TODAY
Small Ditch Will be Dug in High
way Mile South of frisco
Crossing.


The Little River Drainage District
will begin cutting the Rock Lcvee road
today, about one mile south of the
Frisco tracks. The ditch running
through the County at that point is
one of the small channels. The Di-
version channel, WHICH is not expected
to be cut for several months, will pass
through the Rock Levee north of tn"
point to be cut today.
This road is the iirst to be mutt
lated since Judge Kelly dissolved the
Injunction issued by the late Judge
Ranney, which prevented the drainage
district from opening a highway with
out building a bridge across it.
Under the terms of Judge kelIy's
ruling the drainage company may cut
all of the roads, but it is required to
construct i temporary bridge across
the channel As he did not say what
would constitute temporary bridge,
the farmers along the Rock Levee are
waiting to see what kind of span
will be built across the road where
it is severed today.
According to reports from Scott
County, the damage district has not
cut the road in that county, which
Judge Kelly authorized it to do. In
stead of opening the road, the drain
age men moved the large machine
across the highway and it is now
operating between roads.

ORAN MARSHALIS

Is Attacked AS He Attempts
TIC Arrest Men Fighting
On Street
KNIFE BLADE ENTERS
LUNG, DOCTORS SAY
Mayor Bradier and Posse Seek
Assailant-Nearby Towns
Are Notified.

Arthur Spradlin, city marshal of
Oran, was probably fatally stabbed at
9:30 o'clock in that city last night
while attempting to place Hi" Rcgans
under arrest.
The official sustained more than a
dozen stab wounds, one penetrating
his left lung. The knife was also
plunged into his neck, back, breast,
and he was frightfully cut on the face
and head.
He was picked Up by pedestrians
and carried to his home, where Doe
tors Kline and Winter were hastily
summoned and administered to him.
At an early hour this morning his
condition was pronounced critical.
Mayor J. f. Brader informed The
Tribune that RegaEs attacked the
marshal when the latter interfered
with fight between Regans and an
unidentified man and attempted to
place him under arrest.
Without the slightest warning. Re
gans drew Z knife from his pocket and
plunged it into the marshal's back.
SPradlin fell to the ground with his
asGailant on top Of him. While the
victim pleaded fer mercy, Regars kept
DluEging the knife into the officials
body.
Spradlin was soon rendered uncon-
sciou5 and Regans made his escape.
The man Wit! whom Regans had been
engaged in a fight left the scene when
Regans turned his attention to the
marshal ard was not identified.
Mayor Brader was notified Of the
affair Is soon as Spradlin was found,
and with = posse searched the city FOR
the nan, bat their ecorts to locate him
were futile.
81 have notified officials in nearby
towns to be on the lookout for Re
gans." said Mayor Brader this morn
ing, "and | have hopes Of apprehend-
ing him. I am satisfied he made his
escape from Oran as soon as he learn
ed we were sarching for him.
"Marshal Spradlin is in serious
condition and there are grave doubts
concerning his recovery. | have been
unable to learn the name Of the man
Wit! whom RegaRs was fighting when
the marshal attempted to place them
undcr arrest.
"Mr. SpradIin is in such a serious
condition that we have been unable to
get as much information from him as
we w0uld Ike TO have, bat he told me
that re was attacked without warning.
The attending physicians say the most
dangerous wound is the one in the
lung. The blade of the knife pene-
tratcd the wall Of his body and enter
ed the lung. The other wounds also
are OF serious nature"
Regans is known in Oran and that
vicinity as dangerous man.

CATHOLIC UNION.
REVISES BYLAWS.
& CONSTITUTION.
Arguments Are Numerous as
Each Paragraph Is Fully
Discussed.
RESOLUTION URGES
NEW SALARY MEASURE
Workman to Get Paid Without
Waiting Half Month for
His Money.

Delegates to the twcnty-fourth an
nual convention of the Catholic Union
of Missouri yesterday morning and
last night devoted their energies to a
revision of the constitution and by
laws of the organization.
The meetings are being held in the
st. Mary's parochial school hall, and
as the constitutional provisions and
bylaws are being taken up one at a
time, the efficiency of each is discussed
and several debates have resulted.
The constitution and bylaws of the
order have been untouched for several
years, members Of the order say, and
last year a special committee was
named to undertake the revision work.
his committee made written report
il German, outlining the reyisions the
committeeman agreed UPON.
This report now is being crsidered
paragraph by paragraph. In addition
to the constitutional revision work
being conducted, committee on reso-
IutiOHs has drafted documents bearing
on The WOrkmen's Compensation acts
and a salary bill watch they will urge
before the convention.
The salary bill asks the next Gen
era! Assembly to pass law requir-
ing all corporations to pay their sal
aries two days after they have become
due. In the State there are some in
dustrial corporations that fail to pay
their employees until approximately a
half month has elapsed after the close
of the month in which the money has
been earned.
The resolution TO be introduced be-
fore the convention today, simply cuts
the time down during which the en-
pIoyer may hold off his men from their
wages.
ST. Louis probably will be selected
as the next meeting place, and officers
will be elected today. A bankuet and
= dance at the EIks' CLUB tonight VIII
complete the program of the conven-
ton.
Sundays program was carried out
without a hitch. At the solemn high
r}ass celebrated at St. Mary's church
for The delegates. a feature was the
music by the choir and the organist,
WHO had trained for the event for sew
craI days.
The parade attracted several hun
bred witnesses and about 600 men took
part in the march. At the mass meet
ing in the afternoon at the Orphcum
theater, Mr.. Mic Conner, who formerly
lived in the Cape and now lives ir
Dubuque, Iowa, delivered an address
in German in which he took the mod
crn newspap2" to task for its close
association with politics.
Politics, he said, form an insincere
game. ard the newspaper through its
close association with running politics
becomes in Il great measure a party to
the insincerity. He emphasized the
fact that Il newspaper may be an in
strument for either tire good OF the
bad.
There was mass meeting Of Young
men in the evening in the Orpheum
theater, when several addresses we're
delivered. After the regular program
of speeches Sunday evening, the gen
cral topic OF "Thc Catholic Attitude"
was discussed, and Charles Daues of
st. Louis made an address.

Of the American Embargo Conference,
