|H[ CLEANUP DAYS
,UCKS WILL CALL AT THE
HOMES FOR RUBBISH
AND FILTH
MOVE PILE FILTH At RIVER
Boy Scouts and School Children
Have Been Enlisted to Clean =.
Up Baxter Springs On
These Two Days

Thursday and Friday Of this week
have been named as cleanup" days
fnr Baxter Springs by the Woman's
Chamber Of Commerce. At the meet
Ing Of the Chambers yesterday after
noon the following committee was
named 10 look after the work: Mes
danes q. M. Mitchell, E. NJ. Richard
son and E. C. Stephison.
The school children of Baxter
Springs and the Boy Scouts have
been enlisted to assist In the work Of
picking up the papers and rubbish in
the down town sections as well as in
the resident sections of the city.
This is the housekeeping season
for the town as well as for the homes
and the Woman's Chamber Of Com
MERGE Is determined that Baxter is to
put on new and fresh appearance
for the sake Of health and beauty be-
for the warm weather sets in.
The following is asked Of every
home in Baxter Springs: Clean up
your yard and gather together all the
old rubbish about your premises and
pile the stuff some place where a
truck can get to It. A truck or wag-
on win call on you some time Thurs
day or Friday. The cost Of hauling
will be small and pro-rated so that
you pay only your part of the load.
The ladies expect to have all or nearly
all Of the trucks donated and the only
expense will be in paying the man
who does the driving and loading.
Another very creditable move in
connection with the Baxter SPRING.
cleanup" days that the ladies expect
to accomplish is some way of getting
away with the big pile of rubbish
along River street. Every body COM
ing into Baxter Springs from the east
sees this unsightly pile and if the
ladies negotiate the moving of this
blot they will deserve vote Of thanks
from the town.

WORTH THE COST OF THE WAR

81 suppose not many fortunate by
products can come out Of war, but
if the United States can learn some
thing about saving out of this war it
will be worth the cost of the war;
mean the literal cost of it in money
and resources. l suppose we have
several times over wasted what we are
now about to spend. We have not
known that there was any limit to our
resources; we are now finding out
that there may be if we are not care
full. From President Wilson's speech
to the War-Savings Committee.

KING At LIBERTY
CONVICTED BANDIT
SENTENCED TO PENITENTIARY
FROM THIS COUNTY ON
ROBBERY CHARGE
HAD SENSATIONAL TRIAL
Trials Cost County A Small Fortune
Put Up Able Defense and
Hung Jurys-Supreme Court
Sustained Decision

When Sheriff Bob Frazier went to
Lansing last week he learned that Ed
King was out on parole. A trifle
more than a year ago King was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary from Cher
okee county for robbery of the ]. ].
Elder store and customers of the
store ut Melrose about a year prev
ious to that time. The King trials
were among the most sensational ever
held in the Cherokee county district
court, as we'll as among the most ex-
pensive. King was three times tried
before a jury brought in verdict of
guilty. f. W. Boss, prosecuting at
torney at that time, said that if King
was convicted, the penitentiary would
not hold so clever a man for more
than a year. King was sentenced to
ten years in the penitentiary. His
defense, which was of the most able
the county could produce, broke down
under the trial and conviction Of
of Kings supposed and admitted
partner, Buck" A great number of
witnesses from all over the country
were summoned by both defense and
Tom Jarrett, of Melrose,
was one of the prosecuting witnesses.
The car in which the robbers were
was a stolen car and after
the robbery was abandoned between
Baxter Springs and Melrose after
the A. H. r. A. gave chase. King was
by the Joplin police.
These trials occurred about the time
of the famous Cherokee county high
jacking cases, when armoured cars
we're in the habit of dashing across
The corner of Cherokee county enroute
from Joplin to Tulsa. This practice
mas been practically abolished by fed
,ral officers. A regular pitched battle |
inally occurred between the highjacks |
md booze haulers on the Baxter |
Springs road between Melrose and
keelville. This and the numerous
bad man stunts of both sides attract |
ID so much attention to this traffic |
hat the government took steps to
stop it. One of the last of the men
% stop was a Joplin man who had
made his brag that no two men could |
stop him when he was loaded with |
,ooze. He had high powered truck |
which could develop quite a speed
when necessary. The radiator was
covered with a heavy armour of sheet
ron, and he carried a woman in the |
;eat beside him to keep from being |
hot. Two government agents with
$3.50 rifles riddled his engine and ar
'ested him just south Of Coffeyville |
several months ago and since that
ime if booze is hauled via this method
nto Oklahoma, little of it goes thru
Kansas. The prosecution accused
iing of being in the booze business.
