COUNTY COURT

The following are the proceedings
in full of the regular September term
of County Court, continued from last
week:
Mary Thurman, upon examination
by Drs. Eugas and Robinson, was de.
clared insane and committed to State
Hospital No. A for treatment.
Thos. H. Holman, County Highway
Engineer, filed his report with the
court. The report shows that certain
parts of the right-of-way have not
been secured and thereupon the court
named Henry Braning, c.. C. Simms
and H. G. Meyers as commissioners
to view the needed right of way and
to hear complaints and assess dam
ages. The commissioners were in
structed to meet ten days after max
ing of order and to have ready their
report.
Thos. II. Holman, County Highway
Engineer, made report to the effect
that all of proposed right-of-way in
Randolph township has been secured

that said new road be opened and es-

NEW CAPITOL TURNED
OVER TO THE STATE, WILL
BE OCCUPIED SOON

Jefferson City, Mo-, Sept. 12.-The
new State Capitol was turned over to
the State tonight on exactly the terms
offered by the commissioners to the
contractors several weeks ago. The
terms are that the State shall hold up
$25,000 for the time being and until
the building has been completed in it's
entirety and be given possession at
once.
There are other considerations. The
State will not release the contractors
from their bond for $1,300,000 for one
year from date and until it is def
nitely established that the work of the
contractors is satisfactory in all de-
tails. This will afford time to develop
any defects in the building.
The money to be held up will OBJ
ligate the contractors to complete all
unfinished work and make good any
damage that may have resulted to
the exterior stone from salt stains.
These stains, it may be said, are dis
appearing rapidly, and the commits
sioner for the State no longer regards
them as being of serious consequence.
The contractors will be paid in full
for their work up to date that has
been approved, amounting to $314,-
900. The State withholds the right
to impose penalty of $3.50 a day for
every day since July l, 1916, that the
building was not turned over to the
State, completed in its entirety. AS
quickly as possible the State offices
will be moved into the new building.

The Auto Maniac

We notice some exchanges using
the above appellation to those super
fluous creatures, that we would be bet
ter off without, which The Times has
frequently designated at road hogs.
1t makes but little difference, howev-
er, what they may be called. They
are doubtless deserving of every bit
of it-and then some. But calling a
hog only reminds it that it is hungry.
Just so with these road hogs, or ma
MACS, as you please to call them.
The automobile at this time ranks
first among the newer methods of
transportation, but it will be more gen.
orally used when unnecessary wrecks
have been eliminated. AS it is now
it is at times dangerous to drive, either
in an auto or ina buggy, on the county
highways, because of the speed mani
acs who recognize neither law nor de-
cency. 1t matters not how carefully
the careful driver may operate his
car, he is in constant danger of the
road auto maniac who dashes along
the roadway as fast as his machine
will go, absolutely without regard to
the rights of others.
The anti-horse thief association
put an end to the sneak who entered
the farmers barn and stole valuable
animals, and it may require a SINH
lar organization to prosecute wreck
less auto drivers, before those mem
acing maniacs will keep their machines
under control. They must be made to
recognize the rights of others, and
this cannot be done until the city and
county authorities work together and
rigidly enforce the law. The auto
maniac is one of the most dangerous
crifpinals at large '9day, and certain
1T is that st. Francois county has its
full quota of this class of undesirable
citizens. They must be forced to re-
spect the rights of others on the pub
lie highway, if they can be forced to
do so. But it will require co-opera-
tion on the part of safe and sane auto
drivers to either cause them to re-
form, or give them the laws heaviest
penalty for theE damfoolishness.

A False Report

What appeared to be an authentic
report here last week to the effect
that DR.. G. E. Scrutchfield, late Su-
perintendent of State Hospital No. 4,
had been stricken with paralysis in
Rushville, little town in Buchanon
county, north of Kansas City, on his
return from western automobile
trip, and was absolutely hopeless.
Later reports, however, are to the
effect that this rumor was incorrect
and that DR.. Scrutchfield and family
had arrived at Marshall, Mo-, without
accident, and had most enjoyable
trip. The first rumor doubtless orig
mated from the fact that DR.. Scrutch-
field had been troubled somewhat on
the automobile trip with an attack of
rheumatism, and possibly stopped a
few days at Rushville to rest and re-
cuperate. Their many friends in Farm
ington will be pleased to learn that the
first report was an error, and that
the family are all well and back among
their old friends in their. former home.

WoMEN's CIVIC CLUB MEETS

A>regular meeting of the Women's
Civic Club was held last Thursday,
September 9th, in the Public Library.
At this meeting much interest was
shown in the discussions of very nee
essary improvements for the better
ment of our city. Both unsanitary
and unsightly conditions of streets,
vacant lots and alleys were reported.
Present international conditions should
not minimize our interest in civic
affairs, especially when the question
of health conditions is to be consider
ed. All weeds should be cut and
burned. The condition of cutters, es-
pecially on our main streets, should
not be overlooked by property own
res. All unnecessary litter should be
carefully guarded against by all cit
liens and visitors as well, and it is
hoped that cerefulness in this respect
may be apparent in the future on all
our Pennington streets.

Suspects Arrested

Sheriff Charles Adams and Deputy
Leslie Mitchell on last Friday evening
arrested at Elvins, this county, Fred
Henson, aged 10, and Dewey Lands,
aged Is, on suspicion of having muir
dered E. M. Curtis, depot agent at
Doe Run Junction, on the preceding
Sunday evening, about half a mile
south of the depot at that place, while
the victim was on his way to his board
ing house at DeLassus, about two
miles distance.
This murder was perhaps the most
cold blooded and heinous crime that
has ever been committed in st. Fran
co.'s county, and every possible effort
is being made to locate the guilty
party or parties. While neither of the
boys now under arrest have confessed
to the killing, or of knowing anything
about it, every effort is being made to
draw confession from them. While
young in years, both have previous
court records against them. The only
known possible motive for the killing
was robbery, but the perpetrators are
supposed to have been frightened
away from their prey before they
had succeeded in finishing the search
of the body for booty, as there was
still on the body, when found the next
morning, $48.92 in cash, though a
watch and chain and hat had been
taken.
These boys are also suspected of
having committed two kold~ups at
Doe Run, only a few miles distant
from the location of the murder, on
last Thursday night, about 8 o'clock.
The first man held up was Mr.. Henry,
from whom a few dollars were taken,
after which one of the robbers hit Mr..
Henry in the mouth with a revolver,
making a deep cut in his lower lip.
They next lay in wait for F. J. An
tone, the merchant, holding him, his
wife and son while they were on their
way home from the store. Mr.. An
tone was carrying his coat on his arm,
in which was about $25, mostly in
change. He promptly turned his
coat over to the robbers, who ap-
peared to be satisfied and left with
out searching their victim, allowing
him to retain a purse well filled with
bills, which was in, his back pocket.
The night was dark and the rob
bers used a fiashlight, which COM
pletely blinded their victims, so there
was no chance for any description of
them to be given, except that there
were two of them. The entire COM
munity is highly wrought up over the
dastardly murder of Mr.. Curtis, and
the Doe Run hold-ups have, for some
reason, been associated with that foul
crime, so that there since been much
uneasiness, especially in the Doe Run
neighborhood, to think that honest
people cannot pursue their business
engagements without grave fear of
being held up or murdered.
