IN FLAT RIVER -
WITH STOLEN CAR

Two men, who give their names o.
r. C. Hamilton and A. Dudsic, Of
Cook county, ILL.,, were arrested in
Flat River last Friday night because
of their suspicious actions in trying
to dispose of Ford truck they were
driving.
Hamilton and Dudsic drove into Flat
River one day last week and left
their Ford truck in which they were
travelling in Watts garage. They
seemed very anxious to sell the truck
and MIR. Watts, who suspected that
they were driving a stolen car, bar
gained with them until they agreed
to let him have it for 500, whereas
at first they had asked nearly twice
that amount. They offered to let him
have it at that price for cash, but as
Mr.. Watts was then sure that the
truck was stolen, he did not accept it.
Hamilton and Dudsic went on to Bis
marck, where they tried to sell their
property to Jimmie Lewis, who also
became aware, after few questions
that Hamilton and Dudsic were alto,
mobile thieves. He agreed to buy the
truck, but told them he would have tc
go to Flat River to get the money
They agreed to go with him, and while
in Flat River were arrested by Con-
stable Richeson and brought to Farm
ington, where they wers lodged in
jail.
The story of these two men seems to
be "camouflage". They said that they
had bought the truck in Chicago and
had driven through to Flat River by
way of East st. Louis and St. Louis.
They carried two large tool kits and
said they were on their way to Garter
county. One of them said his home
was in Carter county but considera-
bic degree Of questioning failed to
show that he WIS familiar with that
part of the country. Their story in
several places bore the ear-marks of
a loosely constructed tale to tell the
authorities. ~"
Prosecuting Attorney Golfer wired
to the Secretary of State of Illinois as
to who was the owner Of the truck
bearing the license of the one in the
possession of Hamilton and Dudsic.
Fred Meyer, of ADDISON, ILL.,, was given
as the name of the owner, and when
he was wired his reply was, "Car stol-

Hamilton and Dudsic are charged
with grand larceny, asportation of
property and operating a motor We

airy trial was held yesterday, and
from the incriminating evidence held
against them, it seems that they will
be dealt with properly by the author

Sheriff Chas. H. Adams took Roney
Pritchett, Nick Pritchett, Charles Har-
vel and Charley Watkins to the State
Peniteniary Sunday. They are all un-
der sentence for burglary and larceny.
The two Pritchetts and Watkins have
long been a thorn in the side of the
officers of the law, and their capture
and conviction came as a result of
their prolonged depredations at Doe
Run. Mr.. Adams was scheduled also
to convey John C. Pair to the Peni-
tertiary, but Pair was temporarily re-
lieved because of claim of being I'M
der Is years Of age, which would en-
clude him from the Penitentiary and
make him a subject for the Reform
School.

Judge E. E. Swink the first of the
week. Mr.. Bylander combined bust

President of the State Fair Board, on
several important matters in connec-

date of which is now nearly ap-

Residents Of Merida, Yucatan, Enjoy
Repose in Hammocks Which May.
Be Slung Anywhere.

In Merida, Yucatan, the majority of
the people do not use beds, In fact
very few Of them have even seen one.
They sleep in hammocks. which are
swung across the rooms at night and
with no fuss of bedmaking; the per-
son just goes to bed and is gently
rocked to sleep by any passing breeze.
The climate is so hot that 1t is only
during the months of January and
February that light sheet may be
required as covering.
These hammocks are usually made
by the mother Of the family, writes
Lilly dec. Osborn, In st. Nicholas, and
consist Of thread, more or less fine,
woven together on great frames with
a kind of shuttle or needle. Some of
the designs are wonderfully intricate
and the colors beautifully blended. ]
saw one very large one, made In the
colors of the United States flag, whicll
was to be sent up to the United States
for a gift. 1t was certainly work Of
art, made Of the very finest merccriZed
thread; and yet the hammock could
easily support weight of 300 pounds.
A servant always brings his or her
own hammock, which Is very conven-
lent.

gagged in the profoundest thinking %
his life. No business plans which had
ever absorbed him could compare in
mOmentOusneSs with the plans that
absorbed him now, for he had to plan
how to enter the unknown country
where he was not even sure of being
recognized as an Amberson-not sure
of anything, except that Isabel would
help him if she could. The Major was
occupied with the first really impor-
tant matter that had taken his atten-
ton since he came home invalided, af-
ter the Gettysburg campaign, and
went into business, and he realized
that everything which had worried
him or delighted him during this life
time between then and today-all his
buying and building and trading and
banking-that it all was trif1lng and
waste beside what concerned him now.
Meanwhile, the life of the little be-
reft group still forlornly centering up
on him began to pick up again, as life
will, and to emerge from its own peri
cd of dazedness. 1t was not Isabers
father but her son who was really
dazed.

Major Anderson remained dry-eyed
through the time that followed; he
knew that this separation from his
daughter would be short; that the
separation which had preceded 1t was
the long one. He worked at his
ledgers no more under his old gas
drop-light, but would sit all evening
staring into the fire, In his bedroom,
and not speaking unless someone ask
ed him question. He seemed almost
unaware Of what went on around him,
and those who were with him thought
him dazed by Isabel's death, guessing
that he was lost in "reminiscences and
vague dreams. Probably his mind is
full Of pictures of his youth, or the
Civil war, and the days when he and
mother were young married people
and all Of us children were jolly little
things-and the city was small town
with one cobbled street and the others
just dirt roads with board sidewalks"
This was George Amberson's conjec-
ture, and the others agreed; but they
were mistaken. The Major was en-

CHAPTER XIX.

"Let her" was correct; but the time
came-and it came in the spring Of
the next year-when it was no longer
question of Georges letting his
mother come home. He had to bring
her, and to bring her quickly If she
was to see her father again; and Am
berson had been right: her danger of
never seeing him again lay not in the
Majors feebleness Of heart but In her
own. AS 1t was George telegraphed
his uncle to have a wheeled chair at
the station, for the journey had been
disastrous, and to this hybrid vehicle,
placed close to the car platform, her
son carried her in his arms when she
arrived. She was unable to speak,
but patted her brothers and Fanny's
hands and looked Every sweet" Fanny
found the desperate courage to tell
her. She was lifted from the chair
into a carriage, and seemed little
stronger as they drove home; for once
she took her hand from Georges and
waved 1t feebly toward the carriage
window.

said. "You mean the old place is
changed, don't you, dear?"
She smiled and moved her lips
"Yes."

DEAR" he said, NOW that you're back
in 1t, and going to get well again."
But she only looked at him visit
fully, her eyes little fatigued.
When the carriage stopped her son
carried her into the house and up the
stairs to her own room, where a nurse
was waiting; and he came out a mo-
ment later, as the doctor went in. At
the end Of the hall stricken group
was clustered: ANDERSON and Fanny
and the Major. George, deathly pale
and speeches., took his grandfather's
hand, but the old gentleman did not
seem to notice his action.
"When are they going to let me see
my daughter?" he asked ENORMOUSLY.
"They told me to keep out of the way
while they carried her in, because it
might upset her. wish they'd let me

Like carbon clogs and chokes a mo-

He was loud in praise Of the house
after Eugene arrived, and gave them
no account Of his journey until they
had retired from the dinner table to
Eugene's library. gray and shadowy
room, where their coffee was brought.
Then, equipped with cigar, which
seemed to occupy his attention, Am
berson spoke In a casual tone OF his
sister and her son.

Amelia had been up to Paris in the

were living in Rome; Amelia's become
Catholic and is said to give great
sums to charity and to go about with
the gentry in consequence, but sgd
ney's ailing and lives in a wheel chair
most Of the time. 1t struck me Isabel
ought to be doing the same thing"
He paused, bestowing minute care
upon the removal of the little band
from his cigar; and as he seemed to
have concluded his narrative Eugene
spoke out of the shadow beyond a
heavily shaded lamp: "What do you
mean by that?" he asked quietly.

Anderson, still not looking at either
his young hostess or her father. cat
