Serena, HOyt shrugged her Shout

to her home and the rain and the
wind were alarming. 1t had been fine
weather earlier in the afternoon
when she had come to visit her
grandmother. Serena had worn her
best dress and hat. She put both
aside, drew a veil over the old-fash-
Toned wooden hood and tucked up
her dress closely, putting the long
antiqUated cloak over it.

used to dainty things and she expert

she noted that she alone of all the
women on the busy thoroughfare

There came a sharp dash of rain
and Serena drew under the shelter of
a store awning to button the top of
the coat more snugly about her. She
drew back as two rough-Iooking men

LIGHTNING SETS BARN AFIRE
William Sanders, Below limo, Loses
$50 Bushels of Wheat.

Fire that was started by bolt of
lightning in the storm that passed
south of the Cape Wednesday even
ing, destroyed the large barn of Will
liam Sanders, a farmer living two
miles south of limo, and destroyed
virtually all of his wheat crop.
Mr.. Sanders had finished threshing
his wheat but short time before the
fire destroyed his barn, and he had
stored the grain in bins inside the
barn, preparing to hold it for a favor
able market.
Usually Dir. Sanders has threshed
about HOO bushels Of wheat, but on
account of the poor crops of wheat in
his section this year, he had stored but
$50 bushels of wheat in the bins.
The fire ragged in the interior of the
barn in the midst of a heavy downpour
of rain on the outside, and the men
who attempted to combat the flames
were powerless to win against the fire.

HOB-COBLINS INFEST
BENTON HILL AGAIN
Elmer Clifton and Party Are
Panic Striker by Ghost
Appari;ion.

Benton Hill, which until compare
lively recently was famous as a loaf
ing spot for hob-goblins, spooks and
mysterious night-prowling lights, has
come into its own and Wednesday
night a party of young women who
were motoring over the hill were
frightened almost into Mysteries by an
apparition, the exact character of
which all were too scared ever to as
certain.
The young women were motoring
with Elmer Clifton in his car when
they perceived the apparition.
The road at Benton Hill follows a
course that is particularly well adapt
ed for the operation of spooks. 1t is
banked on one side by heavy, deep
wood and at the time the hill was
famous as resort for COLLINS, it was
a common thing for motorists to see
mysterious lights fit back and forth
behind the trees several yards back
from the roadside.
Persons became accustomed to the
presence Of the lights and on several
occasions, men had stopped to en-
deavor to follow one of the lights. 1t
was will-o-the-wisp sort of chase
that got them nowhere.
The lights became so common that
they were known as Jack o'lanterns.
For some reason or other, the atten-
ton of the members of Mr.. Clifton's
party was directed toward the heavy
woods Wednesday evening as they
passed down Benton Hill and they
were startled by the unusual sight of
a bright light that f1ickered and fit
ted, danced and skipped about the
trunks of the trees.
This particular light kept even with
the machine, and as the end of the
wooded stretch approached, the jack
o'lantern came down to the road and
its weird presence threw the members
of the party, who watched it fascin-
ated, into a panic.
The women screamed and more gas
was fed to the motor of the car in an
effort to leave the spook in the rear.
AS the car drew away from the jack
oIantern's stamping ground, the light
to the darkness of the
woods.

RED HOT WHEEL,
FIVE FEET HIGH,
FALLS UPON MAN
John Smith, Veteran Rail-
road Blacksmith, Owes
His Life to Good Luck.
ENGINE SPRING KEPT
WHEEL FROM HIS BODY
Right Leg Is Badly Burned, But
Back Is Not Broken, as
First Suspected.

John Smith, the veteran blacksmith,
employed by the C. G. & n. Railroad
yesterday morning almost lost his life
when a red-hot engine wheel, weigh
ing 1900 pounds, fell upon him at the
railroad shops. :.
Mr.. Smiths life was saved By
large engine spring which had been
placed beside the locomotive, and up
on this the red-hot wheel fell, which
prevented its full weight striking ]
Smith.
The blackSmith'S back was severely
wrenched and for a time it was be-
lieved to have been broken. His right
leg was pinioned beneath the wheel
and the cuticle was cooked and
flesh was injured in several places.
He was taken TO mis- home at GIT In
dependence street in an automobile,
where the physicians made a thorough
examination of him and found that his
back was not seriously injured.
The accident occurred about 10
o'clock yesterday morning. Mr.. Smith
was attempting to place new metal
tire on one Of the largest engine
wheels when the wheel, which had. been
heated to the glowing point. While he
was working on this huge piece of
10 i
dropped.
Mr.. Smith made a desperate effort
to get out from under it, but failed
The wheel struck him and bore him tc
the ground. Had it not been for the
spring, which held the big red-hot
wheel from Smiths body, he would
have been killed.
Had the wheel struck the blacksmith
with full force, he would have been
literally cooked. The wheel being re-
paired was one of the large drive
wheels used on locomotives. The
wheel, when erect, will measure about
five feet in height.
G. H. Gross, a son-in-law of Mr..
Smith, said last night that he was
resting as well as could be expected, |
but that his condition was serious.
Mr.. Smith, who is about 60 years
of age, is a native of Cape Girardeau.
He is one of the best known men in |
the city, and is very popular.

MATERIALS DONATED
FOR A BAND SHELL
Cement, Sand, Rock, and Work
COntributed-WiIl Rsise
Funds This Week

Tic first days canvass for building
materials and funds with which to
erect modern band shell in the Court
house Park yesterday met with graft
flying results and the friends of the
Schuchert Band expect to keep boost
ing the remainder of the week in or
der to raise sufficient money to give
the Cape an elegant structure with all
the essential equipment.
The band shell structure will be sup
plemented with large number of park
benches that may be used for seating
crowds that gather for band concerts,
according to plans outlined yesterday
afternoon.
On the initial day of active work for
the band shell, the Cape Portland Ce-
ment Company pledged to give the ce-
ment necessary in making the struc-
ture.
The Morrison Ice & Fuel Company
promised to donate the sand, and Ed
ward Hely of the Hely rock quarries,
promised to give all the rock that is
essential in making the structure.
Tentative plans for the shell provide
for 4 concrete base and floor with the
upper part of the shell done in fine
woods that will be so worked in that
the acoustics will be as nearly per-
feet as may be obtained.
W. F. Parlow, architect, mas offered
his services in drafting the plans and
specifications for the shell; Will Ger
hardt, contractor, declared he will do
nate his services in overseeing the fon-
struction work and getting it done in
the proper manner. The Missouri Pub
lie Utilities Company also made a
pledge of their active cooperation in
the construction of the shell and it is
anticipated that the wiring will be
their share of the work
In order to complete the structure
it will be necessary to get lumber, fix
lures, chairs and funds with which to
pay the workmen who will be employ
ed in making the band shell.
Mayor Rage already has declared
that the enterprise to obtain a band
shell may depend upon the hearty CO.
operation of the city in giving space
and doing all else to aid in tie COM
rlction of the venture possible.
1t is planned to have subscription
lists circulated in the Cape today in
order to obtain funds with which to
complete the job and it is anticipated
that the initial free concert in the band
shell may be given within the next
month or six weeks.

Shoe Thief GETS
2 FOR SAME FOOT
]. Nj. Mccoy Is Arrested And
Pays Fine to Get Back
to Illinois.

When ]. NJ Mccoy, young farmer
from Mcclure, H., yesterday after
noon endeavored to "hook" Il pair of
shoes for his sweetheart in Illinois at
the store of Mike Scholtopski on Main
street, he got into three kinds Of trOu-
bic.
In the first place, he believed that he
was grabbing pair that would fit,
when he slipped them from the coun-
ter and ran, but at the end of the
chase that led to hSi arrest, he discOv-
cred that he had lifted two shoes for
the right foot, rather than pair of
shoes in the fullest sense of the word.
The chase that led to his arrest ere
ated considerable excitement on Main
street yesterday afternoon about $3.50
o'clock when Mccoy determined to
make his dash for freedom and
of kicks.
He ran wildly down Main street and
sought refuge first in the Crescent res
taurant He ran to the rear end of
the restaurant and threw the shoes
into a corner as the shouting Scholtop-
ski drew nearer.
The attaches at the restaurant
threw him back out the front door on
general principles, and he continued
his fight down Main street, around
Themis to Water street and finally
again sought refuge in building. This
time he entered Claud Speaks saloon
and there he was cornered and ar
rested.
A few minutes later he was taken
before Justice of the Peace Orren Viii
son where his third kind of hard lucl,
struck him, for he was fined S11.SO.
He didn't have any money, but at this
juncture, his friends from across the
river came to his rescue and pooled
enough money to pay his fine and he
departed for the ferry boat, deter
mined to get across the water as soon
as possible.

GARDNER CLUB IS
ORGANIZED here
One Hundred and SeVenty-twO
Members in League-Houek
Is Made President.

A Gardner-for- governor club was or
ganized last night with a working
membership of 172 members. The
meeting was held in the offices of Louis
B. Houck on Main street, with large
crowd present.
Louis B. Houck, who was one of the
original supporters of Col. Fred D.
Gardner in this section Of the state,
was elected president and Ben Vim
yard was chosen secretary.
The vice-presidents are: George
Patton, Alex C. Mastering, Mai. Glib
oney Houck, Ed L. Drum, DR.. J. C..
VOrbeck, Frank E. Mcdonald, David
A. Glenn, DR.. Paul R. Williams, w. l..
limbs, David Palmer and Charles Ju-
den.
1t was predicted that the organiza-
ton would have a membership of at
least 500 members within the next ten
days. 1t is generally agreed now that
the race for the Democratic nomina-
ton for governor lies between Col.
Gardner and John NJ. Atkinson, the
railroad candidate. There are quite
number of supporters of Cornelius
Roach in this county, but Democratic
leaders say he has dropped to third
place.
John T. Barker has virtually been
eliminated from the contest and James
A. Houchin's candidacy is not serious
ly considered. There are few other
aspirants for the Democratic guber-
material nomination, but their strength
is confined largely to their own home
precincts.
The Democrats in this community
who have a recognized following are
supporting Col. Gardner. The Akin
son club of Cape iGrardeau has been
recently dubbed League OF the dis
appointed" meaning that the organi-
cation is not burdened with live ones.
j. H. Richardson of Bloomfield, dep
uty internal revenue agent, who was
in the Cape two days ago, said he was
convinced that Gardner would carry
Southeast Missouri over Atkinson. 81
have been over this section of the
state, and in every community, l find
Col. Gardner is considered either first
or second choice, and in most places
he IS the leading candidate. Every
where : go, it seems like Gardner has
the nomination in a cake walk. He will
get more votes in st. Louis than all
of the candidates combined and he will
break even in the country districts"
