Disturbance; Arrest Man
And His Mediator

Two men giving the names of Desso
Morrow and Charles Harris were TAX
en- into custody by Sheriff Mossholder
and Deputy Sheriff Lytle at the Caves
Sunday afternoon after, it is said, they
had created considerable excitement
and had trouble with Walter Lepley,
special officer who has been keeping
order during the meetings at the
Caves.
According to the officers, Morrow
had been drinking and he became both
loud and vulgar in his language and
Lepley attempted to quiet him. Morrow
then is alleged to have struck Lepley
and in an instant several men "mixed
in" Sheriff Mossholder and his dep.
uty were both on the grounds and
Lytle reached the scene first, taking
Morrow into custody after a brief
struggle and quieting the crowd. Nor
row was turned over to the sheriff and
Lytle went after their automobile. A
negro, said to be Harris, then follow
ed the sheriff outside the grounds en-
deavoring to secure the release of Nor
row, and he finally became so loud and
abusive that he, too, was rendered a
trip to Mt. Vernon along with his
friend. Both men were lodged in the
county Jail and affidavits will probably
be filed against them late Monday

OATS BEING CUT WHEN
ACCIDENT TRANSPIRES
Hoy Weaver's Leap Saves His
Life = Excitement
In Sparta

Sparta, Aug. 6--With his legs SO
badly cut that amputation will prob
ably be necessary, little Donald
Squiers, four-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Craven Squiers, lies at his home
here, the victim of one of the most
distressing accidents this locality has
known for some time.
Little Donald was playing in his
fathers fields Saturday afternoon
while the latter was cutting oats. The
small stature of the boy kept the
parent from noticing hat he was in
the immediate path of the binder and
he ran the implement right over his
son.
The boys legs were caught in the
machinery and ground. One bone in
one of his legs was completely snap
ped in two, while others were bruis-
ed. The flesh in some places was
ground to bits.
DIR. Larimore of Sparta and DR..
Eastman of Fredericktown, attend
ing physicians, are of the opinion that
amputation of both legs of the lad will
be necessary to save his life.
Sparta, Aug. GA lantern and a
can of gasoline are not good com
panions, at least so Hoy Weaver, II,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Orval Weaver of
this place, painfully agrees and he
only happened to be spectator, but
suffered all the damage. -,.'
Saturday night, man by the name
of Wilcox who lives in Bloomville, ran
out of gasoline near here. He left
his auto and walked to the village,
carrying lantern. Securing the fuel,
he started back to his machine, when
the gasoline suddenly exploded. Will
cox threw the can from him and it
alighted on Weaver, who was stand
ing nearby.
Weaver became mass of flames.
There is a large water-kettle on the
square here and the young man, with
commendable thoughtfulness, leaped
into the water. This quick act pro-
badly saved his life. AS it is, he was
painfully burned about the knees and
ankles. His right arm is somewhat
scared DR.. EIuggins attended him.

BUNCOING BROADWAY

T bunked Broadway for week, and Broadway liked it and liked me. And now because the town has found out it's been bunked 1 suppose it's sore"
 Thus laments Manhattan's newest celeb rlty, but yesterday the Alaska Queen" and Maid of the Midnight Shows, and now re- vealed as Kansas City park watchman's daughter and telephone girl. Hers was a brief reign but a lively one and one threat ening the eclipse of other Broadway stars had not premature publicity bllghted it. The young person has indeed buncoed Broadway, but why does she infer that it is "sore" for that reason? New York exists to be buncoed and enjoys the ex- perience. Buncong the town has almost been raised to the status of legitimate in dustry, and when the operation is not be- ing performed in Wall street or Fifth av- enue, 1t goes on among the white lights. What would become of Tammany Hall if New York were not susceptible to the wiles of the bunco artist, and how long could Broadway do business on any other basis? The point about this latest performance in the bunco line is the neatness and finish with which 1t was executed. Many try the game but few have the luck to become a Broadway celebrity in a day. There must be a future in the city for a slip of 8 girl who can both Lawsonize 1t and Roose- vcltize it so completely and artistically- New York World
