The Day in Davenport

OF the Thaw type where there is q
I reasonable doubt of insanity, no
resistance was made by the prose
/ cutting department. The doubt re-
garding the prisoner was largely a
matter of Formally. 1t was raiseI
by B. T. O'Neil, attorney for the
defendant. Three Davenport ply
sjcians who examined the prisoner
at the Jail on obi. s, were the only
witnesses.
Special Fuel Picked - George
Dempsey, who will chef up the big
gest order Of his life next Wednes-
day afternoon on the levee in the
homecoming barbecue, has picked
out special fuel for the immense
beef roast. He selected seasoned
hickory wood and charcoal. Mr..
Dempsey picked out the fuel him
self. He will have the hickory cut
into lengths but a few inches long.
A deep pit will be dug, the pit filled
with the hickory and charcoal and
a big fire lighted. When this large
bed of fire is turning to ashes the
meat will be placed over the fire
and covered with several inches Of
earth. The 1000 pounds of beef
will lay in this heat bath for sew
eral hours. Then il will be dug
out and Mr.. Dempsey is stalking his
reputation as a cook that it will be
fit for a king or a queen or an
American sOldier-he can't sec
much difference in them. Coffee
will be cooked over the same fire.
The barbecue OK will be cut up by
eight butchers and served cafe
terra style to the service men as
they line up and pass by.
