.Oversto1tz Buys
Real Menagerie
For His Nephew
Lad Likes Wild Animals So
Well His Uncle Becomes
the Hasenback of Cape
Girardeau.

Charles H. OverstoIz has become the
greatest naturalist living within the
confines Of the Cape.
In his private menagerie he now has
ten squirrels, four coons, a pair of
groundhogs, one prairie dog, two NAL
lard ducks, two ring doves, one pos
sum and an alligator Rats visit this
homegrown zoo, but they are not cap
tiveS.
Mr. Overstolz has been fond of wild
animals ever since he saw the collec-
ton exhibited by Hagenback, the
noted German naturalist, during the
st. Louis Worlds Fair. A few
months ago, while driving down in
Scott County, he noticed a squirrel
playing with prairie dog in a private
yard and he bought them.
He brought them to this city and
presented the animals to Max koeck,
Jr, his nephew. Like his uncle, little
Max showed a disposition to establish
"a zoo, pending the creation of a men
agerie by the city. Mr.. OverstolZ de
cidcd ne would assist his nephew in
collecting the animals.
Each day during the past month,
there have been a few wild beasts un-
loaded at the brewery zoo. Tie chief
attraction came on February l, or
Ground Hog eve. It was a pair Of
groundhogs. They were placed in the
ground hog department Of the mena-
gerie and watch placed over them
the next day in the hope of getting q
line on the weather.
Chris Wolf, one Of the animal train
ers, did police duty in the zoo Ground
Ho-. morning. and was present when
Papa Grounding emerged from his
hole to look around. The sur was OBJ
scurcd by q cloud, and after a short
wait, he retired to his den, beside
Mama Grounding.
Mr.. OverstoIz feels certain that
spring is due most any day.

KACE BINDS TATUM
TO CIRCUIT COURT
Valves Hearing and Atty. III. f.
Alexander Writes His
Father.

Mayor Rage yesterday afternoon
bound Tom Tatum over to the Circuit
Court on a charge Of passing a worth
less check when young Tatum, who
was arrested in PortagcviIle and
brought bacl: to the Cape yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff W J. Scagravcs, waiv-
ed preliminary examination. He was
taken to Jackson last night to be held
for bond or a trial in the Circuit Court.
The charge against young Tatum,
who is 10 year sold, was made on the
complaint of II. H. Haas, of the St.
Charles Pharmacy, where Tatum cash
cd a check for $3.50 which proved to
worthless.
Tatum was represented by Attorney
Harry f. Alexander, who wrote to his
father, James G. Tatum, formerly a
merchant who lived in this part of
Southeast Missouri, to ask him if he
would aid his son.
Young Tatum said that he had been
living for time with his father and
a step-mother at Tatum, New Mexico,
but that recently he had been stu
dent at the University Of Texas. He
said that when he gave the checks in
the Cape he was endeavorirg to reach
his mother, who lives in Memphis.
He was arrested while trying to
casn Il check for $15 in Portagevilie,
The banker in Portageville made in
quiry in the Cape by telephone con-
corning the value Of the check and was
asked to have Tatum arrested.

DRAINAGE WORKERS
Save SCHOOL-HOUSE
Fire 4 1-2 Miles South of Cape
Believed Incendiary In
Origin.

Fire believed to have been of an in
cendiary origin partly destroyed the
frame building Of the colored school
four miles and a half South of the
Cape on the Rock Levee road. The
story OF the fire which occurred q
couple of days ago, reached the Cape
yesterday.
The blaze was extirguished by
workmen employed on the drainage
ditch nearby. 1t is believed that
tramps who had been making the
school house d headquarters and re-
Gently were securely locked out, set
the building on fire as revenge.
The young woman who had been in
charge of the school fer several weeks
during the cold weather, had been ac-
customed to leaving the fire burn over
night i'll the stove. On several oc-
casions, when she went to the school to
open, she found evidences of men hay
ing spent the night in the place The
contents of the building had been dis
turbed.
The windows of the school. conse-
quently, were nailed closed and all the
doors made fast, on her departure
from the place. The windows We're
nailed up last week and it is believed
that the gang of tramps who had
been staying overnight there, set the
place afire for revenge, when they
learned that the fire in the stove would
cast suspicion from their shoulders.
The blaze was noticed by the drain
age ditch workmcn who ran to the
scene, where they formed a bucket bri-
gade and eXtinguished the blaze.
Examination of the premises imme-
diatcly afterward showed several mud
dy footprints leading from the win
dOws of the house and the nature of
the balze was such as to show the fire
was not started from the stove inside
The building.

TO PAVE WATERST.
With CONCRETE
Majority of Auditing Property
Owners Tell Mayor To
Go Ahead.

A majority of holders Of property
fronting on Wafer street at the place
where repaVing will be necessary be-
fore the thorOughfare may be reopen
ed for traffic, have agreed to have con-
crete pavement put down in place of
the former wood blocks that fioated
away in the high water, Mayor Rage
announced last night.
The matter will probably come be-
fore the City Council at the next meet
ing in q definite form, the Mayor said.
The expense of laying the concrete
pavement will be considerable less, it
has been estimated. than would be the
cost of putting down wooden blocks
again.
The determination as to whether the
work to be done on Water street should
be considered new paving or repair
work last week was referred to City
Counselor Knchans and il was decid-
ed that under the law the proposed
work will be new paving. For that
reason, the Frisco railroad may be
required to pay the cost of half the
paving owing to the fact that their
tracks abut upon the street.
The railroad in the first instance,
paid for the paving on Water street
as a provision Of the franchise passed
in 1911. In that section of the street
franchise no stipulation was made as
to repairs and it was believed the city
might have to bear the expense of do
ing the proposed work had it been con-
sidered repair work
The Mayor last week declared that
he expected to interview property
holders abutting on the street to learn
their sentiment on the paving ques-
ton and in the last two or three days.
he has received voluntary communica-
ti0ns from them expressing a willing
ness to put in the concrete and stand
their share of the expense. Those
who have communicated with the May
or are: Walter Albert, who owns prop
erty there with Harry Leuer, Mrs.
DR.. John st. Avit, and r. B.
Oliver, Jr.
The cost of the concrete will be so
cents a running foot for the share
that the property holders will have to
pay, and similar amount for the
railroad, according to figures present
ed by contractors who have examined
the work.

MRS. WIN. SPERLING
Is ILL With GRIP
Malady Battles Doctors Who Re-
port Sickness In Cape Is
Under Control.

Mrs. William Sporting, member of
one of the best known families in the
Cape and Cape County, for the last
week has been suffering with a case
Of grip at her home at 72S Good Hope
street, that so far has baffied physi-
Glars who have attended her.
Mrs. Sporting contracted the malady
mere than a week ago when she went
10 nurse members Of her brothers
family west of the Cape who were af-
ficteG with il. Her brother is VIII
liam Denekc, who lives of the Gordon
vile road.
Several members Of his family were
il! with the peculiar kind of grip and
= short time AFTER Mrs. Sporting be
gan nursing them, she also became i'll.
She was brought TO her home where
for a week her condition has been Sc
riOus.
The grip is not accompanied, with a
sever cold, as is almost invariably
the case with ordinary influenza, &C
cording to physicians. The muscles
over the entire body have become stiff
fcned and hard and her body has been
subject tc severe pain.
Physicians in the Cape report that
grip has lost ground in the Cape and
vicinity on account of the recent cold
weather. Several eases have been re-
ported in the last few days, however,
since the weather has become change
able and the ground has begun to
thaw.
Some physicians declare that an
other hard fight against grip will come
when the thaw continues and the damp
makes people susceptible to
contracting the malady.
Other forms of sickness also are
light in the Cape, it is said.

DR.. PAUL WILLIAMS
FRACTURES WRIST
Has Bone In Right Arm
Smashed By Motor Car
Crank Late Last Night.
AUTO ENGINE BACK-FIRE
Was Returning From Call On
Hanover Street When Accident
Occurred.

DR.. Paul R. Williams, well known
Cape physician, late last night sustain
ed fractured right wrist when the
engine of his automobile back fired and
struck him on the back of the arm.
The injury is not so severe that it
will keep the doctor from his practice
but it will be several days before he
will have the use of his right hand
again.
The doctor had motored to Hanover
street, where he had made his last call
before going home for the night. He
had telephoned to his father, DR.. Phil
r. Williams, at 10 South Ellis street,
short time before, that he would be
home after he made the Hanover
street call at the Grimes home.
On going from the residence, the
doctor adjusted the gasoline feed of
the car and it is believed that too much
petrol was sent into the egine at the
start, for as he attempted to crank the
motor, the machine back-tired.
One of the bones Of the right wrist
near the hand was broken. D.. Will
liamS hurried to his office, driving
with his left hand where he summoned
another physician ard had the wrist
dressed, before going home.
DR.. Phil r. Williams, who has been
confined to his home for seven weeks
with a case of general blood poisoning,
last night declared he virtually is well
from the attack. He still is denied the
fall use of the hand that was affected
with the blood poisoning, but it is ex-
pected that the wound will he COM
pletely healed within a few more
weeks.

Dirt ROADS WORSE
Than EVER BEFORE
Phillip "JOe" Siemers De.
clares Changeable Tenn
perature Is Responsible.
EAST SIDE LOSS LIGHT
Farmers From Illinois Say High
Water Damage Is Not as
Great as Expected.

That the Cape County roads are in
worse condition than he ever has seen
them in several years was the declara-
ton made yesterday afternoon by Phil
lip Joe" Siemers, when he came to
the Cape to attend the funeral of
Emanuel Geiser, which was held yes
tcrday afternoon.
The ground has been thoroughly
soaked with water in the last few
weeks, Siemers declared and the
changeable weather that has existed
in the last few days has put the roads
i'm bad shape.
The freezing temperature has
brought the water to the surface and
held it there, so that it has readily
acted TO make the surface soft when
the brief thawing spells occur. This
combined with traffic on the roads has
chopped them up to great extent, so
that in many places, the dirt high
ways in the county are well nigh i'm
passable.
Several other farmers who have
driven to the Cape recently, have re-
marked that the condition of the
highways is bad and men who have
come from the East Side have pro-
nounced the road situation there viz
tually beyond control.
The high water on the lowiands on
the East Side has done its principal
damage in tearing up the roads and
fences, the farmers declare. The
crop damage on the East Side, one man
remarked, will total but a small frac-
ton of the amount that it was believed
it would reach at first, when the wa
ter poured in over the levee.
The crops had not advanced to the
stage where the high water would
damage them and when the flood went
down, the waters receded from the
land rapidly enough, so that a deposit
of silt great enough to damage the
wheat was not left behind.
Work has been started on many Of
the farms rebuilding farm sheds and
houses that were knocked down by the
water, and the East Side farmers ex-
poet to reap a crop made richer by the
deposit of soil left by the food.
