THIEVES ENTER
PEOPLES GARAGE
Made Entrance Through TransOm
Over Rear Office DOor-Secured
$3.50 in Cash.

Gaining entrance through tran
som over door in the rear Of the
Office thief last night entered the
Peoples Garage, easily opened the
cash drawer and made good his es-
cape with over twenty five dollars in
money. Whether he took any auto
mobile accessories or not was not
known today.
The garage is located on East Mar
ket street directly across the street
from the City Hall. The office of the
building is to the west of the big
building housing the garage and is
connected by door. The main garage
opens on Market and on the alley at
the rear. The office part of the build
ing does not extend the full length Of
the garage and also has front and
rear opening. 1t was through the
transom over the rear door to the
office that entrance was made by the
thieves.
So far as could be learned today the
thieves left everything in order ex--
cept the cash drawer which they rid
died, getting twenty five dollars and
ninety cents in money.
Mr.. O. M. Mcdonald, head Of the
Peoples Garage, turned the matter ov-
er to the police this morning. The
theft evidently occurred late in the
night as employees were about the
garage until nearly midnight.

the distillers of Maryland an oppor-

crimes will not exempt from military
service, according to Judge Mcintyre,
who denounced slackers in general,
when sentencing thirty-nine men, the
majority Of them Of conscription age,
to prison today. The majority of ex-
cuses offered by the prisoners Of find
ing work, Judge Mcintyre replied: Il
do not believe you, for there is plenty
of work for all. Since l have been
presiding of this court, the first of
the month, have noticed large in
crease in the number of men OF con-
scription age who have without any
hesitation pleaded guilty to crime. !
am of the opinion that many Of them
have deliberately made themselves
felons to escape conscription. A man
who will commit crime wilfully, not
for the purpose Of gain, but to es-
cape his duty to his country, is the
worst kind of Stacker.

0ZARKS RICH IN ,
MANY MINERALS
Z
Three Mississippians, One of Green
wood, Have Zinc Mine There
Have Rich Claim.
t(OpyflSnt.)

The Ozark Mountains of Arkansas
are rich in minerals of all kinds and
great fortunes lie in wait for those
who seek diligently for them in that
region. Three Mississippi gentlemen,
one of Greenville, one of Indianola and
one of Greenwood, all very prominent
and well known not only in their home
cities but over the state, recently
formed a partnership and purchased
two hundred and ninety one acres OF
land within quarter of mile OF the
divide Of the Ozarks with the inten-
ton of mining for zinc.
The three gentlemen are, Mr.. j. c.
King of Greenville, Judge Frank E.
Everett Of 1ndianola, and Mr.. E. NJ.
Purcell of this city. They have in
corporated their partnership into a
firm known as the SunAower Mining
Co., of Boone County, Arkansas.
A mill that cost approximately fif-
teen thousand dollars has been erect
ed and actual mining is in progress;
with the 80. results. One OF the
three owners, who has just returned
from the scene where he went to ad-
Just some labor troubles, brought with
him samples of the rock rich with the
zinc.
His description of the conditions
that exists in the Ozarks causes one
to wonder that so much ignorance,
so much lack of civilization can be
that close to civilization. No church
es and no schools are to be found.
Scant clothes are worn by all and the
girls and women, even when attend
ing a sociable, go barefooted. Prac-
tically none of the inhabitants can
read and all live in log huts barely
hanging on the mountain sides. In
one three room house eleven men and
a family of six are living.
These conditions exist in virtually
all mountain regions but it is hard to
conceive when brought face to face
with.
