GETS ARRESTED; WANTS WATCH
Frank Ward Says His ChrOnOmeter
Was Never Returned to Him BY
Officer.

Frank Ward, a farmer living
Whitewater, yesterday applied at tn
office of Prosecuting Attorney J. Hen
ry Caruthers, seeking to retrieve
watch which he said had been taken
from him when he was arrested at
AIlenville last Tuesday evening.
The charge upon which Ward said
he was arrested was fast driving in
the picnic grounds. Ward was ac-
companied by his wife and he resisted
arrest. The officer who made the ar
rest closed with him and after a few
blows were exchanged, Ward was
forced to go to the Allenville Jail,
where he was kept for about ten min
utes, he told Caruthers, before being
taken before Justice of the Peace Noah
Young.
Judge Young fined him and he paid
the fine with money that he had when
he and his wife started to the picnic,
he said. When he was released, Ward
said, his watch was not returned to
him, and he asked Caruthers if some
thing could not be done to get it for
him.
Caruthers told him to go back TO
Allenville and demand the time-piece,

TO DRAIN LAKE, RECLAIM LAND
Property Owners n Mississippi and
Scott Counties Launch Plan.

Charleston, No, July 11.-Another
great drainage project, involving hun
dreds of acres of hitherto uneultivated
land in Mississippi and Scott counties,
has been undertaken by the property
owners whose lands are covered by
and are adjacent to Shepard's Lake.
The object is to do away with the lake
mad put the land there in cultivation
The lake is very shallow and spreads
out through numeroues sloughs. 1t is
estimated that the lake may be drain
ed at a cost of S2,400. The consent
of all property owners over whose
land the water must pass has been OBJ
tanned and work will probably be be-
gun at once.

RETAIL CONCERNS
ASTOUNDED
and ACHAST
UNLOCKED FOR MOVE MADE BY CAPE GlRAR-
DEAUS WELL KNOWN Department STORE
ESTABLISHMENT TO CLOSE
Sale Of Entire Stock at Retail is
Announced

Business circles are stirred to their
very depths by an explicit announce
| ment today of the H. A. Nussbaum
Mercantile Co. Store, positively con-
tirming long circulating rumOrs of an
impending sale of their colossal mer-
chandise stock. The news has caused
great cOmmotion among the local re-
/ tail fraternity and came as a distinct
surprise to the thousands of friends
and customers of the well known firm
The firm of H. A. Nussbaum is one
Of the best known stores in the COM
munlty, carrying an aggregate stock
of over $4,000 worth of the very
highest grade of merchandise.
The sale effects every department
and it is announced that absolutely
nothing will be reserved. This, cou-
pied with the fact that positively,
everything must be disposed of before
August 9TH, has led the firm to tender
its high-grade merchandise at Close
Out Sale.
To achieve the stupendous task of
dispOsing of the entire stock in the al
iOtted time, the concern is doing the
utmost and sparing no expense to
thoroughly advertise the colossal
event. During the past week thou
sands Of letters have been sent to resi-
dents Of this and surrounding counties.
In addition, special edition of the 10
cal newspaper has been printed and is
now being distributed, thousands upon
thousands of colOred cards and pos
tiers are being tackled along the coun-
try highways-all attracting attention
to the Nussbaum establishments Sale
and to Cape Girardeau. 1t is stated
that each and every home within ra-
dluS of so miles of Cape Girardeau
will receive personal letter and
special edition newspaper, this no
doubt, being the most complete adver-
Using campaign ever attempted in this
state.
Great preparations are being made
to accommodate the masses of visi-
tors, dozens OF sales people having
been employed who are now busily en-
gagged in making important changes in
the establishment so that the shoppers
may be waited on with accuracy and
rapid dispatch. The building will be
blOo-'l ~ TIC pIDiIO lOL wv NSlN "
ginning Thursday morning, July 18th,
and will open for the Sale on Satur-
day morning, July IS, at a. m.
sharp.
There is no doubt but that thou
sands of visitors will be attracted to
Cape Girardeau during the period of
this gigantic merchandising event.
which will begin Saturday, July 18th.
It's tremendousness Of size and its eX
travagance of offerings can only be
believed by actual seeing. Hundreds
Of people have already sigI.tied their
intentions of attending and present
indications are that from beginning to
end the sale will be one vast carnival
of opportunity and economy. Extra
ordinary special features in every de
partment of the store, wonderful
changes in the interior arrangements
and the most complete advertising
campaign ever attempted lead us to
believe that the very pinnacle in size
as well as in genuine bargains has
been attained.

FORNFELT MARSHAL.
KILLS CHAS. PIQUE.
Highway Robber Is Slain as He
Attempts to Shoot His
PurSuerS.

Benton, July 6.-Chas. Pigue, who
was tried here last year on charge of
highway robbery but was freed by
jury, and later was jailed for attempt
to kill and who in company with Blu
ford Jamison broke out of the county
prison in NOVEMBER, was shot
through the heart and killed Monday
night by John Amos, marshal of Form
felt.
The facts as brought out at the in
quest follow. H. Wilson, detective
for the Cotton Belt, got bunch Pigue
was to land Monday. That night he
secured the assistance of John Amos
and they were going through the rail
road yards from Fornfelt to Ancell.
About half way they met two men and
Wilson threw his flash light on them.
Pigue already had his gun drawn and
Wilson told Amos to grab the fellow
as he would shoot him. As Wilson
spoke Pigue swung his gun around to
Amos, but before he could use it the
marshal shot him. The officers then
took the other fellow, Ed Arms, to the
jail and returned to find Pigue. They
discovered he was shot through the
heart but ran fifty steps before he
fell. Life was extinct.
A coroner's inquest held by DR.. U. P.
Haw Tuesday morning returned a YER
dict of iustifable killing on the
grounds of self-defense.
After breaking Jail Pigue was not
heard from until Monday. I
Arms is in Jail here. He had a
bunch of hack saws around MS neck
and hanging down his back. He had
kit of burglar tools on his person.

EXCHANGE BANK HAS
UNUSUAL RECORD
New Institution Makes Money
During First Three Months
of Its Life.

The publication in The Tribune yes
terday of the first financial statement
OF the Cape Exchange Bank, which is
Just three months old, OccasiOned much
favorable comment. The banks de
posts now are about $4,000, which
bankers say is remarkable showing
for an institution so young. The bank
is capitalized for $4,000, fully paid.
The Cape Exchange Bank opened
about the middle of March, and for
several days after it opened for bust
ness, workmen were still busy remod-
cling the building The state bank ex-
aminer, who recently inspected the
bank, was surprised at the showing it
has made.
In spite of the expense incident to
getting ready to open, the bank has
made u slight earning over the cost of
operation. Judge w. B. Schaefer,
president, said yesterday that he ex-
pected to make a remarkable showing
within the next six months.
eve are well satisfied with our show
ing to date" said President Schaefer,
"but we will make q still better show
ing. Many new depositors will join
US Just as soon as the interest periods
on the present deposits in other banks
have been reached"

Harry f. Alexander, Democratic
candidate for the nomination fer
state senator, opened his campaign
with tour through Bollinger and But
Ter counties yesterday. His expedition
took him into other precincts in the
district, and upon his return home last
evening, he said he felt confident that
he would be nominated.
Of the 14S precincts composing the
district, Mr.. Alexander has now visit
ed -. He expects to visit each Of the
remaining communities during the
next two weeks. He DEPARTS tOmor-
row for Ripley, Carter and Wayne.
where he will spend the coming week.
The following seven days will be de
voted to a campaign in Dunklin Coun-
ty, the home Of Q. S. Harrison ard
c. p. Hawkins, t,;o o. Mr. A'cXandeI's
opponents.
According to reliable reports from
Democratic leaders, J. N. Carnahan Of
Carter County will be the leading OF
ponent Of Alexander. Hawkins and
Harrison are fighting for control 0.
Dun}lin County, their home, and the
campaign between them has become SO
intense that they nave virtually neg
Iecte:I the remainder Of the district.
Carnahan is meeting with opposition
in Carter County, his home. While he
is making quite a campaign, it is not
believed that he will be able to muster
up 4 dangerous strength. One Of the
Democratic newspapers in Carter
County is fighting Carnahan in favor
of Alexander. The Cape Girardeau
man is well known in each Of the six
counties, and it is conceded by all Of
his opponents that he will carry his
home county against the field
Carnahan, who is prosecuting attor-
ncy OF Carter County, is not well
known politically. Only $50 Demo
cratic votes were cast in the last pri-
mary by Garter County, which shows
that while it is Democratic. it is a
county that does not carry much
weight politically.

THEBES MARSHAL IS
JAILED AFTER FIGHT
He And Companion Beat-up Man,
60 Years Old-Mayor
Orders Arrest.

Following a fight in which the tow
marshal at Thebes was arrested by q
member of the Board of Aldermen and
a constable at the special order of the
mayor, Thomas Aldridge, a laborer,
yesterday was fined $125 for his con-
nection in the affair.
Aldrige and the marshal, Champ
Bailey, were arrested after they had
attacked Joseph Smith, known locally
in Thebes, as Old Uncle Joe Smith, and
beating him with clubs. Smith, who
is 60 years old, was too weak and old
to put up a resistance against the
blows that were rained upon him by
his two assailants.
He suffered cuts and bruises over
the head, neck, shoulders and body as
a result of the beating he got and his
condition yesterday was still consider
ed serious. The fight occurred We'd
ncsday night in the main street of the
town and the two men who were ar
rested for the attack upon Smith have
refused to disclose a reason for the at
tack.
The old man has told his friends
that he does not know why he was
singled out. Marshal Mailey is a man
45 years old and his companion, AL
bridge, is 80.
After the two men had beaten Smith
up, word of the attack was carried to
the mayor who ordered Alderman Wal
ter Jordan and Constable Jack Irwin
to go make the arrest.
The two men found the marshal and
Aldridge and took them to Jail.
A. late hour yesterday the city
marshal had not had his trial. When
AldriGge was fined 1925, his fine was
commuted to $50 hours in Jail
Smith yesterday afternoon made the
statement to his friends that as soon
as he RECEIVERS and is able to consult
an attorney, he will bring q suit for
$1,000 damages against the city of
Thebes.

GILMAN
How to Learn to Write.

Putting words together is not writ
ing; making fine sentences is not writ
ing; celebrating striking plots is not
, writing. OF all the arts literature is
the most exacting mistress. To write
you must have lived, you must have
suffered and know joy, you must be
able to analyze people, to understand
their motives, to love them.
Granted that you have learned some
thing of the motives, the passions, the
sorrows that rack us humans, then you
must also have your medium in con-
troll. Words are like little creatures
that march and fight and sing. They
are like extra bands and brains. All
the passions wait on them. Until you
get this sense Of the choiceness, the
fragility, the power of words, you are
not ready to transcribe your thoughts
