Street OiIing Again

A meeting was held at the dl-

Standby bank last week at which
the suject of street oiling was
taken up and given special at
tention. There were more than
twenty-five present and everyone
was enthusiastically in favor OF
oiling again this year and that the
work be started at the earliest
possible time. 1t is now planned
to oil about twice as many blocks
as was treated last year. To do
this $1,000 gallons of oil is needed
and the price is about one-third
higher than last season. 10 do
this work it will be necessary to
raise a fund of $3.50 90. About
half the amount was subscribed at
the meeting. Mayor Allen was
elected chairman Of the olllng
boosters and he appointed fnan-
cial committee composed of FL. W.
Lomax, M. P. Benson and A. E.
Johnston to solicit the balance OF
the funds and report at the next
meeting. Laclede's experience
with street oiling has been salts

TWO ARMED ROBBERS
Night Operator Held Up and Depot
Cash Drawer Looted

A bold and successful robbery
was pulled off at the local Burling-
ton office early Thursday morning.
About l O'Clock as Night Operator
w. A, Cutler was working at his
desk two masked men suddenly
entered, one covering the operator
with a revolver while the other
emptied the contents of the cash
drawer into his pocket. Billy
NARROW, a farmer residing south of
town who was in the depot during
the rain, was also made to stick up
his hands. After securing about
500 from the cash drawer the rob-
bers marched Cutler and NARROW
down the track to point near the
section car house south of the
station where they were searched,
NARROW being relieved of $5, 90 and
Cutler of a few cents. The robbers
then disappeared in the darkness.
The alarm was at once given and
the officers were soon at work but
up to the time of going to press no
line had been gotten on them.
They made no effort to enter the
express safe or molest anything
else about the station and were
quick about the job. They ap-
peared to be young men, perhaps
18 or 20 years of age. No strangers
were noticed about town or the
station that night and they are
supposed to have dropped off a
freight train that passed just before
the robbery.

opened by scriptural reading ny
Mrs. Patrick and prayer by Miss
Dueker. Twelve members respond

A letter was read by Miss Sissons
saying Mrs. Burger the state
president, could meet with the
union some time in May, which the
members were glad to hear.
Flower committee reported flow
ers sent to Mrs. O. F. Libby, Mrs.
Harry Maybee, Mr.. Fletcher and
Mr.. Smith.
The union is going to take up
the work of cleaning some of the
vacant lots and untidy places and
planting flowers instead. This
will be a great help for these desc
late places.
Serving refreshments was unanl-
mously voted out of the union.
More time will be spent on the
lesson each meeting. 1t was voted
to organize a Loyal Temperance
Legion for the young people.
Parliamentarian drilled the union
twenty minutes in parliamentary
rules.
The contest is doing well, eight
names being added to the roll.

was very interesting; all we lacked
was more time.

Mrs. Carothers, Mrs. Benson, Mrs.

LacIede Won

Last Friday afternoon Brown
ing high school crossed bats with
the local high school team at High
land park. When the game ended
Laclede was the winner, 81, and
at that it took twelve innings to
turn the trick.
The game was hard and we'll
played throughout. Perhaps the
biggest surprise of the game the
pitching of Thomas Wade. The
four innings he pitched he had the
Browning boys at his mercy. He
was succeeded by Lee Maybee who
also pitched we'll except one inning.
At bat Moan Cotter and Daniel
Cole did the hardest batting, while
in the field Harry Peacher and Guy
Stark each made several star plays.
The game was faultlessly umpired
by Max Jones and Wayne Fields.
The next game will be with Hale
and the boys intend to add another
game to the won column.

pointments were promptly CON
firmed by the board. Police Judge

has one of the finest court rooms
in the county and is ready to dis
charge the duties Of that office
whenever called on. At the first
meeting the board unanimously
passed an ordinance prohibiting
the operation of pool or billiard
hall within the city limits. The
subject of street and sidewalk I'M
provement and other important
matters will be definitely acted
upon at the next regular meeting
