BODY FOUND in RIVER
Carl Dougherty, of Salisbury, Miss
ing Since Christmas.


Salisbury, Nd, Feb. 25.-The
coroner's jury in the case of Carl
Dougherty, whose body was found
floating in the Wicomico river last
Saturday, thinks that he may have
been murdered. He had been miss
ing since Christmas and it was sup
posed that he was accidently drown
ed, and that the jury would return
such a verdict, but it is said, fresh
information has been received and
a new witness will be called next
Friday night.
1t is reported that Dougherty had
a sum of money in his possession on
the night he disappeared, and that
a man was seen in his company near
the docks. 1t is alleged that the
young mans skull was crushed and
that he bore other marks of struggle
but this the jury refuses to confirm

ment of States Attorney Thomp-
son, which was published in The
Argus Saturday Mr.. Thompson in
tends to prosecute all violators OF
the dry law. He said the town
was voted dry and it will remain
such after the law takes effect.
Mr.. Thompson's plans are to
wipe out vagrancy. The idlers will
be put to work either voluntarily
or involuntarily. Men in the
county jail will not loaf but will
work under the direction of the
highway department. Mr.. Thomp-
son stated that during this time
particularly, when the country IS
in dire need of man-power, there
should be no shirkers.
No Leniency.
According to Mr.. Thompson there
will be no leniency on the part OF
the law. Rich and poor alike Will
be prosecuted. He is planning now
and is searching for every point OF
the law where the violators can
be prosecuted to the fullest extent.

ASK RED CROSS
FOR 400 SACKS
Rock Island Chapter Quota Is As
signed by the Central Division
. Headquarters.

~ The garment department Of the
Rock Island Red Cross has been
assigned a quota of 400 property
bags, TO be made before May !
The bags are now cut and ready
for distribution. They are ordinary
sacks, with a draw-string. and are
made Of cretonne When finished
they viii be u by 16 inches. They
are used IN the hospitals as a re-
ceptable for all the little trinkets
and other possessions Of the SOL
der; and when he leaves he usual
y takes the bag with him. The
bright colors OF the cloth lend a
CHEEKY touch TO the aspect Of the
hospital rooms; and N the hOspi-
tai or afterwards in the field or go
ing home. the bag is the treasure
box of the soldier.
If women of this city respond to
this new and comparatively small
quota as they have TO the larger
ones Of the past the bags will be
made in a week instead Of three
weeks. The only skill required in
the making is the ability TO sew a
straight seam firmly and neatly.
The assignment is almost a chal-
lehge from the central division, the
accompanying letter stating that ii
is q test Of the responses Of chap
tiers to assignments. IL is there
fore up 70 Rock Island women to
prove that the Rock Island Red
Cross can meet the test and turn out
100 bags, nicely made, in record
time.
