MURDERED AT NEVADA
Roy Ghere, of This County, the Vic
tim of Brutal Murder. Burg
lars Supposed to Have
Committed the Foul
Deed.

Sunday morning when J. b. Robin
son.. OF the firm OF J. B. Robinson &
Son. of Nevada, called at the room
of Roy Ghere, one of his employees,
who was going to take ride to the
country with him. he was shocked to
find the body of the young man, COW
cred with blood at the foot OF the
stairway leading to the room which he
occupied. From the position of the
body it was supposed that when he
went to retire Saturday night that he
had encountered burglars who had
shot him. The ball entered the back
of the neck and came out in front,
cutting the jugular vein and death re-
suited from loss OF blood. In addi-
ton to the bullet wound there was an
ugly wound on the head and finger
marks on his throat indicated that he
had struggled with his assailants.
Young Ghere was last seen alive late
night in barber shop and
after getting shaved said that he was
going to his room, which was up
stairs in a building adjoining the
hardware store. The inquest was
held Sunday afternoon, but no clew
to the perpetrators of the brutal
crime was discovered. Blood hounds
from Carthage were sent for, but by
the time they arrived so many people
had been around where the body was
found that the trail could not be
found with any certainty.
He was son of John Ghere, a well
Known farmer living few miles west
IF town and had been working in the
Robinson store for the last two
geeks.

CHARGED WITH D1sLoYALTY
Member of Republican State Com
mittee is Charged With Disloyal
Writings.

William p Elmer, an attorney Q
Salem, Dent County, Mo-. member o
the Republican Executive Commit
tee, who. is under indictment by til
Federal Grand Jury of St. Louis TO
disloyalty, may not be permitted t.
participate in the Republican Stat,
campaign this fall In discussing thu
indictment last night, Judge Scldei
p. Spencer, Republican nominee fo
United States Senator, told the Re
public that mo man will remain or
the Republican Committee abou
whose loyalty there is the lightest
question
The Indictment. which was re.
turned by the Federal Grand Jury
May 3, was made known yesterday
for the first lime. Elmer is also serv-
ing on the Legal Advisory Draft
Board of Dent County AS member
of the Republican Executive Com
mittee he is planning to assist in the
management of the campaign of Re-
publican candidates OF Missouri at the
November election.
Elmer gave bond. it was learned,
under the Indictment, in the sum OF
$4,000 last July, but in some way the
indictment and the bond did not be-
come known to the public
When asked if he would retire from
the committee, Elmer said he saw
nothing in the charge, that called for
him to retire from the Republican,
State Committee, but that he would
do so if the committee desired it.
1t is charged in the indictment that
Elmer wrote and published in The
Salem Republican an article entitled
"Pray and Bray This article, set
out in the Indictment, follows:
"The Post contained local story
about a soldier boy who was leaving
home after furlough and said there
was all expression seen in the faces OF
these boys never seen there before.
The Post prayed for their safe return
after killing the Kaiser. :.
There is a look on the faces OF
these boys that was not there when
they roamed like free Americans at
home, but a look of resignation to
fate and of utter hope elessness tor the
future. They know they are man
acled and shackled and marked tor
slaughter. They feel it. Protest
from the mouth is futile, so it works
at the heart and in due time is reflect
ed iii the face.
"Then think of standing for sys-
tenn that is sending out that boy on =
mission to kill and get killed. and
aving the audacity and Hypocrisy to
pray for his safe return. We should
be ashamed to lombard the Lord
with such a request We should have
more respect for him than that. The
inconsistency OF the petition is utter
" profane. Sending him out to get
iilled and then praying he may re,
urn safely home Isn't this grand
of the fatherhood of God
md the brotherhood OF man? 1t
would be just as well for The Post
o bray as to pray.
"When our country is right, keep
t right; when it is wrong, set II
light
Other publications are alleged
which reflect on President Wilson
md Englands purpose in the war.
Elmer is said to have made the as
ertion that he was appointed mem
yer of the State Committee the
district committeeman, and that they
new of the charge against him.
Chairman Cole OF the State Com
nittee could not be reached for a
