Records OF Case In A
Middle


A habeas corpus writ to release j.
E. Walker, a Sikeston bootlegger
from Jail was tried before Judge kei-
ley in his room in the Harrison-Him-
melberger building Monday.
Walker was represented by Roland
Johnson, an attorney Of Sikeston,
Others present to represent the city,
were DE- Malone, the mayor of the
city, George Parsons, city attorney
and Tom Monon, chief of police.
The city police court records in the
case was so mixed up that Judge Kel-
ley ordered the whole thing annulled
and ordered Walker released from
Jail. One place in the records was
the entry that Walker plead not gull
ty and in another that he plead gull
ty and was fined $500, and in several
places were notations that certain
dates had been set for the trial of the
case As the records did not contain
a clear and definite history of the
status of the case the Judge sustain
ed the writ of habeas corpus.
Walker can be arrested again on
the charge, if the Sikeston officials
see fit, attorneys say.

CITY F[REMEN Are
GRANTED A RAISE
Chief Now Receives $10O Per
Month And His Assistant
Will Get SIS

The salaries of the city firemen
were raised at short meeting of the
city council which was held Monday
afternoon.
The resolution authorizing the in
crease set forth that all skilled labor
was scarce at this time and wages
much higher than formerly and for
this reason it was necessary to adj
vance the wage scale.
The office of fire chief and that of
mechanic was combined in one posi-
ton and the salary raised from S75
to $1OO per month. The salary of
the assistant chief was raised from
$40 to $75 a month, and the salaries
of fremen raised from $65 to $40 a
month, after they had rendered at
least one years continuous service in
that capacity to the city.
The combining of the offices of fire
chief and expert mechanic saves to
the city the salary of one man at SIS
q month and leaves a margin after
the increase in salaries are provided
for.

Cape Girardeauan Sends Back
Piece OF Germans Coat
Whitfield From Body

Mrs. Cuba Site, of South Foun-
tain stree is in receipt of an inter-
esting souvenir of the war on the
western front, which was sent to her
by her husband, Clarence Lero Site,
better known around Cape Girardeau
as Sake"
He is with the 314th Engineers, and
has been in France long time. The
souvenir was a small section of the
corner of the coat of German officer
who had been killd in battle. The
small piece of cloth was adorned with
gold braid, which proved that it was
worn by an officer of high rank.
Sites parents, who live on South FL
lis street also received small piece
of the same coat. The cloth was cut
from the coat with a bayonet soon
after the officer was killed, the letter
to Mrs. Cuba Site accompanying the
souvenir, stated.
Mrs. Site is living with her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. George Pind at
TAI South Fountain Street. Her
name Cuba Havannah is itself a
kind of a memoir of a former war.
She was born while her father, Geo.
Pind, was here from Alto Pass, IL.
Mr.. Pind is of French extraction.

DRAMATIC REUNION
OF FATHER AND SON
Remarkable Incident of the War
Occurs in Y. N. c. A. Hut
in London.

Eagle hut, in London was crowded

Second London Scottish regiment made

J. Ripple had lived in Boston, and he
yearned for sight Of some one from
the New England metropolis.
Over in one corner of the room two
young men sat in earnest conversation.
Both had been blinded on the Marine
and one of them, George Arthur Sug-
den, had returned from q German
prison camp after eight months to
seek his cousin, Vincent Francis Rip

BY chance they had come together un-
der the hospitable Y. NJ. c. A. roof and
were busily engaged in having a real
reunion when the "Y" man shouted
through megaphOne:
SIS there any one here from Bostoni
A veteran who halls from Boston

"Here! Here!" came from the cor
ner and two sightless pairs of eyes
turned toward the voice. And as the

the crowd stepped back, Sergeant
Major Ripple pushed toward them.
There was an expression of hope in
his face that the casual observer would
have said could not have been inspired
merely by desire to see some one
from Boston.
Suddenly that expression of hope
was changed. Sergeant Major Ripple
had been looking everywhere for his
son and his nephew.

This would relieve the congestion
and make the drainage complete
success.
The only drawback to the Plan, out
side of the expense, is Il few hills.
but Mr. Grosclcse says study of
the map will show that there are
creeks running from the hills in both
an eastern and western coursp and
that these can be followed by the sur
vey for the ditch. Only one hill of
any size will have to be cut through.
and this expene will be justified by
the benefits. Many acres CT land

saved.

In the growth of our towns and sub.

places of several acres are frequently

writes Helen Bowen in the House
Beautiful. Such places usually have
barns or stables which are often suf1i-
GENTLY well built and in sound enough
condition to be remodeled into houses.
In the present high cost of lumber and
labor, the saving is worth considering,
though it varies greatly in different
cases. II the barn has a. good founda-
ton, a strong, sound frame, and does
not require much altering in size or
shape, the saving will be considerable
