Chris tmas Gifts Must Be In
Red Cross Cartons.

Standard sized cartons, for use
of relatives sending Christmas
gift packages to soldiers in
France, will be distributed by
the American Red Cross, it was
announced yesterday by George
W. Simmons, manager for the
Southwestern Division of the Or
ganization. The cartons will be
available at any of the 705 Red
Cross chapter headquarters in
the division about November l.
While the War Department
wishes each man in the service
abroad to receive a Christmas
package, it has been forced to
rule that no man may receive
more than one package, and that
must be a carton of standard
weight and size. To prevent
the sending of more than one
parcel to a soldier in France Off
cial labels have been prepared by
the Government. A parcel will
not be received 'at a post office
for soldier abroad unless it
bears the official label.
The labels now are being dis
tributed to the soldiers in France,
who will mail them to persons
they wish to receive a parcel
from this Christmas.

sas City and the amazement and
humiliation of the parents can be
easily understood. Henry Beall

5-11, has dark hair, brown
eyes, not very fair complexion,
large open lips from which his
upper teeth protrude. disinclined
to look one straight in the eye
steadily and not prepossessing in
any particular tho rather quiet
and unobtrusive.
A posse traced him to the Mis-
souri, river south of Brunswick
where a note book was found on
shore. reconized as belonging to
him and in which among other
things was written, Capt. of

the note book contains we cannot
say. The impression is that the
young man swan the Missouri
river which he could do easily,
and is hiding somewhere along
the river, but Wednesday even
ing no trace of him further than
the river had been found. Per-
haps it would have been better
for him to have been unable to
swim all the way across that his
infamy might have rested on the
bottom of the Big Muddy foe all
time. A reward of $l0O has been
offered by the citizens of Bruins
wick for the apprehension of
Henry Beall, dead or alive.

Farm Bureau Notes
BY Sam Jordan
,ts.'As To The Round. Up"

A meeting Of the citizens Of
Keytesville was called for the
night of the Both to consider de-
tails for the Round-U Up. A few
attended. Committee was named
to secure guarantee of a premium
list. Al meeting of the Farm
Bureau was called for last Satur-
day to further consider the Round
Up: A fair attendance present.
After discussion a vote was al
most wholly in favor of not hold
ing the Roundup this year.
Chief reasons were "the Fourth
Liberty Loan" stands first in all
our efforts, till we go ''over the
top" So many Of the boys have
gone that those of US who are
left have double duty to perform.
The corn crop so short that this
county could hardly expect to
get very much into the winning,
and to ask the folks to put up a
premium list when they saw not
much prospect of winning any of
it. would seem like asking too
much, and that the Round Up is
atlast partly frolic, and frolics
seem more or less inopportune.

Some crane fly is also found, but

burning again, but realized that
she had been dazed and was 60
ing away from the bridge when
she regained her senses. She
ran for the river and reached
the dump a considerable distance
from the bridge when chief Car
son and her father had gained
the south end of the bridge in a
car. Mr.. Forqueran got out of
the car to keep watch at the
bridge and chief Carson proceed
ed in the car along the dump
west. Marie crossed the dump
to evade Beall in case he follow
ed her, and had fallen in the
weeds unconscious on the north
side Of the dump where the head
lights of the car disclosed her as
the chief made a turn on the
dump. Had she fallen on the
south side Of the dump Carson
would not have seen her and con-
siderable valuable time might
have been spent in a search of
the corn field for her by the
large number who by this time
had joined in the hunt.
Miss Forqueran was hurried to

bullet lodged in her. The bullet
which struck her corset steel
was found in the waist band of
her dress.
Henry Beall has been like one
of the family. Miss Marie re-
garded him much in the light of
a brother and had no sort of sus-
picion that he was in any degree
enamoured of her, nor jealous in
the slightest of her beau. She
never thought of his threats
when he overlook her at the
bridge except as practical joke
on her and her escort until he
knocked Jaeger down and pur-
sued her with the revolver. Then
it was she realized that the young
athlete had grown dangerous in
more ways than one and but for
her brave defense Of her chastity
and the protection of her guardi-

the victim of lust and of a murd-

Miss Marie Forqueran is one of

the efficient high school of her
city, accomplished in music and

May Recover.
Monday evening Miss Marie
Forqueran. daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Forqueran, who con-
duct a bakery and lunch stand
in Brunswick, with Gene Jaeger
of Dalton, who has been for some
time an intimate friend of Miss
Forqueran and often in her COM
pany, went to the home of one
of the teachers of the school
where they spent the evening
until about9 o'clock. Returning
to the home Of the young woman
and the night being fine and the
hour early a walk to the Grand
River bridge was proposed and
the couple went to the bridge.
Hardly had they arrived on the
bridge when Henry Beall rode up
behind them and announced to
them that he had been following
them. Miss Forqueran thot the
young man who had lived at her
home at odd times when employ
ed about the bakery or lunch
stand. was up to some prank and
even when he ordered the couple
to march on across the bridge
and saying that he intended to
kill both of them and exhibited a
revolver, she still thot it was
some joke Beall was playing.
They went ahead and he follow
ed on his bycicle and arriving at
the south end of the bridge, he
ordered them and forced them at
the point of the revolver to take
the dump leading west and up
the river. When several hun
dred yards up the river on the
dump Beall struck Jaeger on the
back of the head with his revol-
ueror a sand-bag and knocked
him down. Miss Forqueran ran
and told Jaeger to run back to
town and get help. Jaeger ran
to the river and down the bank
and then to the bridge and cross
ed and gave the alarm to chief
police Carson and the girls faith
er. Beall soon overlook Miss
Forqueran and ordered her to lie
down. She fought with him and
he shot, the bullet going thru
her arm. He ask her if he had
killed her. She told him he had
not. He then shot her again as
she fought him and the bullet
tore two of her fingers away.
He ask her if she was dead and
she said she was not and broke
from his grasp and ran. He over
took her in the corn field, where
she had run from the dump, and
she fought him and he shot her
again, the bullet striking her in
the side just over her heart, but
a steel corset stay DETECTED the
deadly missile and it left only a
big bruised spot. She broke
from his grasp again and ran, in
a few jumps he overlook her and
during the struggle he shot her
in the left hip. He again asked
her if he had not killed her and
she replied that he had not and
escaped him again only to be ov-
in a short distance in the
corn and again shooting her,
this time the ball entering just
under the right breast and COM
ing out at the back to the right
Of the back bone. She fell at
this shot and expected another
bullet would be sent thru her
body. Beall asked her again if
she was not killed, and this time
she adopted the ruse of answer
ing him that he had and lying
still and gasping. He looked
closely at her for a moment or
more and concluded that he had
accomplished her death and jump
