Charged With killing Charles

w. Long, charged with killing Charles
Hampton who figured in some of
Ozark County's most bloody feuds
was examined here today and accepted
for military service in the national ar
ny. Long told Sheriff C. +. Grisham
that he was glad he was accepted and
VAS ready to join the army at any
time when called.
Long killed Hampton several weeks
ago after he had waylaid him on the
road leading from Dugginsvile into
Arkansas. He surrendered to the au-
thorities of Marion County, Ark. and
was released on a $4,000 bond.
The shooting of Hampton was the
result of a grudge that had existed
between Hampton and Long for sew
eraI years because Hampton had sign
ed the bond for the release of John
Long who killed his cousin, Peter
Long, two years ago. Hampton was
dangerously wounded by Joe Long
June Is. and had Just returned from

NORMAL PLAYER BADLY
INJURED IN COLLISION
Coach C0urleux to Take Team to
st. Louis Next Friday to
Play st. Louis U.

! The Normal football team defeated
the Jackson High School eleven II
the first game of the season played
yesterday afternoon at the Fair
grounds Park before large crowd
The score was IA to 0. Although the
visitors outclassed the local team in
every stage of the game, they were
1not able to score. They had one
chance to make score, but lost their
opportunity by fumbling the ball on
the 10-yard line.
Crecelius, who played fullback Tor
the local team, was the star of the
game. Burford, on left half, ran him
close race for playing honors. Both
made a touchdown, Crecelius in the
first quarter, and Burford in the third
With the two goals added the total
score was IA against nothing for the
Jackson High School team.
Kimmich on left end was good on
the defense, and at times showed that
he had the real "stuff" Of football
player. Leming, in center, added to
the strength of the defense of the !c-
cal team, and was mainly responsible
for the success of the Normal boys in
holding the Jackson team scoreless,
when they had a chance to cross the
line.
Caldwell, Grant, kerstner and Good
were the backbone of the Jackson
team. These boys showed they had
a better knowledge Of the game than
the entire local team, but with the
weak assistance from the rest of their
players, they were unable to stop the
opponents from scoring.
The Jackson players were outclassed
by their opponents, but in general the
team displayed a more thorough
knowledge Of the game than the Nor
NAL boys. The low tackling of the
Jackson team kept the Normal eleven
on the defense all the way through.
The game was played in four quar-
ters of IL minutes each. The cool
weather kept the boys hustling from
the tine the Jaame started to the
finish. A large crowd was out to see
the first football game of the season.
Next Friday Coach Courleu1 will take
his squad to st. Louis for a game with
the St. Louis University team.
Edgar Klaus, who played left tackle,
was badly injured during the game
when he collided with another player.
He suffered deep cash on top of his
head and was taken out by Cour-
leux. The injury necessitated change
in the lineup, and Lorenzo Kinder was
sent in to take Klaus place. Suffer-
field, who played right half, weakened
during the game and retired in favor
of Lawson.
Coach Courleux said after the game
he was we'll pleased with the showing
his team made in the first game. Con-
sidering the fact that nearly all his
players had played their first game of
football yesterday, they did far better
work than he expected.

A DAY WITH MRS. NORTHCUTT

Can you imagine any happier
way, my dear young matron, to
spend very rainy day than in a
beautiful living room filled with
growing plants, vases of jonQuils
and party of congenial friends in
tent on dainty handiwork and with
hostess whose middle name is
Lovely-Lady? Last Friday was
one of those days when mother
Earth is drowned in tears like an
inconsolable woman beaten with
waves of woe and every prospect is
dark and dreary.
Mrs. Ralph Northcutt had asked
a party of friends and neighbors to
come and bring their sewing and
stay all day and they gladly did so
refuses an invitation by such a
neighbor. She is always as sweet
and attractive as a woman can be
and reminds one of that gentle lit
tie heroine pictured by George Eli
OF in words that are true of Sc
few women: She looks the best
on rainy day and loves you most
when you are most in need of it,"
1t is only a young and beautiful
woman or a beloved child whose
tears add to their lovliness and are
''sweet as the dew drops that fall
on the roses in May" but tears be-
dewing dark lashes over blue grey
eyes can be like the soft drops of
an April shower
However, all the clouds and rain
on this early spring day were out
side the prettily curtained windows
and the only shadow even poet
could have seen in the radiant glow
of the open fire and the golden
blossoms would have been that
nameless patnos in the air that
dwells with all things fair"
The friends spending this sweet
day together included Mrs Morgan
Mcneil, Mrs. Howell Trezevant,
Mrs. Fred Norris, Mrs Freyer Mrs.
Parkinson, Mrs. Will and Mrs.
