Col. Morrison, the goosebone wealth
Ell prophet, yesterday set at rest al
rumors that we were about to pass
through another seige of winter
weather.
While hiking down Spanish street
yesterday morning, the goosebone
prophets attention was attracted to
an object squirming in cluster of
grass. He paused an instant to watch
developments.
"Well, SIR" laughed the Colonel,
"you could have sold me for a pewter
nickel when one of them katydids
crawled, out and jumped across my
path. You know a katydid is the
wisest insect we have in these parts.
1t stays in it's hole and pounds it ear
until spring is really here. When you
see katydid, shake your red fan

cause We amt goin' to have no more

of johnny-jump-up to the wilder

who can rhyme on anything, but you
got to ask the Colonel if you want the
dope on spring.
This is the first time the goosebone
prophet has attempted to talk in
poetry. If it takes well with the pub
lie, he threatens to make all future
weather predictions in verse.
The Colonel concluded his interview
by predicting large fruit crop. The
recent frosts and freezes, he says, have
been we're beneficial to the fruit. In
MS sixty-odd years as a goosebone
prophet, he has never heard of frost
fruit in the light of the moon.

AUSTRIAN, 60, ASKS
FOR CITIZENSHIP
Frank Charac of GordOnvilIe
Road is Denied Second Papers
Referred to Circuit Court.

When Federal Court convened here
yesterday morning, Frank Charac, 60
years old, applied for his second citi-
zen's papers. The request was re-
fused because Charac had forfeited
this right by failing to apply for the
second papers within the limit of time
allowed. Charac was referred to the
Circuit Court in Jackson, as he had
received his first papers from the
Court Of Appeals in st. Louis.
Charac, who has been living on the
Gordonville road for six years, has
been living in the United States for
II years. Shortly after his arrival
from Austria, in 1900. he received his
first papers in st. Louis. He failed to
apply for the second document within
the >seven-year limit, and for that rea-
son he will be required to obtain the
first papers.
Charac was accompanied TO the Fed
eral Court by Charles Blattner who
has known him for a number of years.
Mr.. Blattner said last night his friend
had not decided whether he would be-
come a citizen. owing to his advanced
age. Under the conditions it would
require at least five years before he
can become a full citizen of the United
States.

turns in Creek.

Wading into the swollen stream OF
the Little Whitewater River near SEQ
pus, Sunday afternoon, Lloyd Brown
a farmer living several miles west of
Scopus, bent every effort to have the
lives of his two daughters, Cecilie, IL
and Ottie, years old; after his wagon
had been overturned by the swift cur
rent Of the river and had thrown him.
his wife and four children into the
stream. The two girls drowned before
the father could reach them.
The body of the elder girl was found
shortly after the accident, while the
younger girls body was not recovered
until early yesterday morning. Both
will be buried this afternoon at the
Zion Cemetery near Patton.
Mr.. Brown and his family had visit
ed the family of Ernest Walker, who
lives on the opposite side of the river.
The heavy downpour Saturday night
and Sunday morning had caused the
creek to swell to a swift river in a
few hours. Not knowing the depth of
the ford which he usually crossed, Mr..
Brown proceeded to drive through the
water.
When the wagon reached the center
of the stream the wagon was swept
from under the wheels and was over
turned precipitating the entire family
into the water Mrs. Brown and two
of her children succeeded in grabbing
some roots protruding from the river
bank and were saved by her husband
who made every effort to reach the
wagon and extricate his two daughters
from the wagon bed.
When he saw that the children could
not be sayed he turned his attention
to his wife and other two children
and carried them from the water.
Mr.. Brown notified several neigh |
bors of the accident and Immediately
they formed search party to fish the |
bodies from the river. The older girl |
was found about 100 feet from the |
ford where the accident happened. II
had been caught in some drift wood. |
The body of the younger child was re-
covered near the scene of the accident. |

its arrival from st. Louis and was
damaged SO badly that the water be-
gan to leak into the boat. The jar was
so heavy that the sound could be heard
for several blocks.
The accident was due to the high
stage of the river and the darkness.
The pilot not being familiar with the
location did not know-of the presence
of the seawall and failed to slow up
in time to avoid the accident. The
boat remained at the foot Of Themis
street all night, during which time the
leak was repaired.

Two AUTOMOBILES
COLLIDE HEAD0N
Ter Persons Escape Injuries in
Auto Accident on Rock
Levee Road.

Ten persons narrowly escaped Seri-
Gus injury yesterday evening when the
automobile of Lawrence Welter, a
saloonkeeper of Ancell, eollided with
another machine on the Rock Levee
road, near Hely's rock quarry. Both
automobiles were badly damaged and
had to be lowed to a garage in the
Cape.
With Welter were his wife and his
children, Anna Louise, and small
baby, and August Rodenmayer, of
Fornfelt, and his wife and son, August
Harold. They we're returning from a
visit with relatives in the Cape. All
were badly shaken up, but none of the
occupants of the Welter automobile
received serious injuries.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rodenmayer visited
yesterday evening at the home of Silas
Lail on Independence street, brother
in-law of Mrs. Rodenmayer. They left
shortly before 10 o'clock yesterday
evening.
Mr.. Welter was driving the machine
in which he and his friends were rid
ing home. When he reached the quar-
ry he saw an automobile coming in
the opposite direction and turned to
the side of the road to permit the car
to pass. Evidently blinded by the
glare of the headlight of the Welter
car, the other driver misjudged the
width of the road and drove into the
side of the Welter machine, breaking
a wheel off and damaging the Welter
car, too.
The'oceupants of the two cars went
to the machine room of the rock crush
er and telephoned for assistance. An
automobile was sent to their aid, and
they continued on home. Mr.. Roden-
mayer telephoned his relatives Of the
accident, and assured Mr.. Lail that

RECORD CROWD AT
CAPE FLAG RAISING
Throng at Shoe Factory Chez Z
Flag and President
Wilson.

The raising. of the Stars and Stripe:
upon the roof Of the shoe factory yes
terday afternoon was the occasion fol
a patriotic demonstration in which
more than 1000 persons participated
| The patriotic sentiment reached its
climax when the Schuchert band play
ed the "Star Spangled Banner" and
everyone present Joined in with the
Normal girl chorus directed by Miss
Mable Flint.
At 3 o'clock Rurie Lesem, the bugler,
appeared on the roof of the Morrison
building near the factory and sounded
his horn. The call was echoed by a
second bugler, Otto Kassel, who stood
on the shoe factory. At this moment
Uncle Sam, impersonated by James
Adams, an employee of the factory, ap-
preached the flag and begain hosting
the Stars and Stripes. The strains of
the national anthem swelled the air,
and the crowd began to cheer, as the
flag gradually went up.
Russell Dearmont, who had charge
of the ceremony, addressed the crowd
and called on those present to give
three cheers out of respect for the
flag. He then introduced Prof. w. w.
Martin, who spoke in place of Senator
Oliver, who had been selected as the
principal speaker for the day. Prof.
Martin called attention to the serious
ness of the present national situation
and asked everyone to stand by his
country and the President and defend
the American rights against the at
tacks of any nation. He concluded his
speech with three cheers for the Pres
ident and the country.
For several days the interior of the
shoe factory has been decorated with
Stldll ildSS VI oil SILCS. hLdSHlhCI
in the factory bears an emblem of the
national colors, every employee wears
the flag.
A similar demonstration will be held
either Monday or Tuesday morning
by the employees of the Frisco shops,
who will also raise the flag upon the
roof of the roundhouse. 1t had been
planned to hold the celebration yester-
day afternoon, but owing to the delay
in the arrival of the flag, the celebra-
ton was postponed. The flag was re-
received early this morning.
The flag pole was secured yester-
day from Chaffee and placed upon the
roundhouse yesterday afternoon. 1t
was found that the steel pole, which
had been selected at first, was not
adequate for the purpose and therefore
a wooden pole was selected.
