HELD SECRET INQUEST
Girl in Double Shooting Near Death
as Coronen.s Probe Continues.

Paola, Jan. 12.-While a coroners
inquest continued to delve into the
mystery surrounding the wounding of
14-year old Hazel Speelrnan and the
death of her mother, near here last
week, physicians still despaired of the
girls life, altho it was announced
there had been no change in her con-
dition since she was operated upon
yesterday following her arrest on the
charge Of having murdered her
mother.
The inquest still was held behind
locked doors with only county officials
and witnesses in attendance. 1t was
said, however, that testimony was adj
duced to show that Mrs. Speelman
and her daughter had visited a physi-
clan here six months ago, the reason
for which was kept secret.

When the large additions made to
prohibition territory, in the period
named are considered these figures are
remarkable.
T=ey show either that the abolition
of the saloon has not reduced greatly
the consumption of liquor in dry ter
ritory or that the use of intoMcants
has increased largely in the wet ter
ritory. The gain can hardly be at
tributed wholly to the growth of pop
ulation in the country.

RED CROSS BANNER
FLIES AT CITY HALL

In the presence of a small but very
intensely interested crowd Red
Cross flag was yesterday hauled to
the Flagstaff of the city hall. having
the honor OF replacing the stars and
stripes which decorated the station
there since the city building has been
occupied for the past several years.
It appears that there was some mis-
understanding about the hour for this
ceremony, as a number of ladies, anx-
ious to be on hand when the flag was
furled to the breeze, arrived on the
scene some thirty minutes after the
flag had been displayed. It was
thought that the arrangements had
been made for 1880 o'clock instead of
the hour thirty minutes earlier as the
official announcement (Which had gen.
era1 notice) had explained.
ALI day long, however, the red-sym-
boiled flag attracted attention, and was
very favorably commented on.

money for the successful prosecution
of the war. and in the method used,
to reach those who could not pur-

VALUABLE DIAMOND,
LOST FOR HOURS,|S
REsTOREDTOOWN[R

Alex. Lloyd, colored, was placed in
the county jail last evening on
charge of grand larceny, and from
the story which the officers told. the
suspected negro is thought to have
had diamond in his possession for
hours worth several hundred dollars.
1t is said to have disappeared when
the negro named was assisting in
some packing up at the home of
Lieut. Coffin, on Big Bayou, and
when the discovery was made, cry
was raised. The negro took to the
woods. it is said, and in the mean
time the sheriff was notified to pick
him up if he came to town. Later,
however, the diamod was replaced
just about as mysteriously as it had
disappeared, and the charge is made
that the negro had distracted the
gem from its hiding place and when
threat of arrest followed accusation,
Lloyd is believed to have arranged to
get rid of it. least this is the way
it was figured out and he was Jailed
on such showing.
