PARKER BROS.
SELLSTORE
Leggett Mercantile Co. of lilo
Purchases Well Known
Firm Here

A deal that was a surprise to
the residents of Cottonwood as
we'll as to the owners themselves
was closed Monday of this week
when Parker Bros, one of the
oldest mercantile establishments
in Cottonwood sold their stock
of goods, fixtures and good will
to the Leggett Mercantile Co. of
Ilo.
The deal which was closed in a
short time was completed Mon
day and on the same day the
new proprietors took charge of
the business.
The Leggett Mercantile COM
pany which purchased the Park
er store are old people at the
business and are the owners of
a large establishment at lilo and
also conduct a store at East Port
in the northern part of the state.
H. c. NeZel and J. r. Stanley,
who are connected with the COM
pany are busily engaged in in
voicing and Mr.. Stanley will
have charge of the store for
three or four weeks until Mr..
Nezel returns from the northern
part Of the state were he will
spend about three weeks on
business, Mr.. Nezel will then
remove his family to Cottonwood
and take active charge of their
new holdings here.
The Leggett people, according
to MI. Nezel, the manager, will
add largely to the pres
ent stock and also expect to
make some re-arrangements in
the interior Of the store. The
new concern considers Cotton
wood one of the best trading
centers in this part of the
state and this was one of the
principal reasons why the COM
pany wish to engage in busi-
ness here.
Parker to Remain Here.
E. L. Parker and Tom Parker
two of Cottonwood's most highly
respected citizens sold their
business establishment here on
account of the health of E. L.
which has not been of the best
for the past six months. The
oldest member of the firm ex-
poets to remain in Cottonwood
as he has numerous other busi-
ness interests here that will re-
quire his attention which is well
coming news to his many
friends here. Tom, who has been
associated with his brother for
the past four years says the deal
was closed so rapidly that he has
given little thought as to what
his future plans will be. His
many friends hope that his de-
cision will be that of his brother
and continue to be resident of
Cottonwood.
Parker Bros. wish to thank all
customers and friends who so
literally patronized them while
they were engaged in business
here and highly recommend
their successors and hope that
they will be patronized as liber-
ally as they have been in the II
years that they were engaged in
the mercantile business here.

Gently in robbing several stores OF

this place has been visited within the

the thief, or thieves got away with a
valuable overcoat and other articles
OF wearing apparel as was the case
with the first robbery.
Last night. however. the robbers did
not apparently get away with any
thing At least this is the statement
of George Popham, member of the
firm, who said today that the culprit
or culprits ransacked the place dur
ing the early part of the evening. Mr..
Popham said he discovered things
turned topsy-turvy upon his return
from supper, as he frequently works
at the shop at nights Mr.. Popham is
of the opinion that the thief effected
an entrance in some manner by way
of the front door. as the windows are
barred and there also is a heavy tar
across the rear door, and there has
been no disturbances along this line
Nothing was missing, however, on this
occasion.

CONCLUDED TODAY
Thomas Baden, Colored, Steward
Of Peggy Stewart Inn, Acquit-
ted BY Judge Moss Of False
Pretense Charge
TO CLEANUP CASES
ON CIVIL DOCKET NEXT

After a continuous session since Oc-
tober 27th, excepting for the inter
mission at election time the Criminal
Docket OF the Circuit Court was con-
cluded today. The Court, within the
next few days. will proceed to take
up and conclude the remaining cases
on the Civil Docket that have not had
been tried, and the indications are
that the October term will practically
come to an end by the beginning of
next week
The session of the Court today was
taken up with the trial of the case
OF State VS. Thomas f. Baden. who
was presented by the Grand Jury in
three cases. charged with obtaining
money from Mrs Juliet w. Assheton
by false pretenses. Baden was for
merly steward of the Peggy Stewart
Inn, in the employ of Mrs. Assheton,
and ii was charged that by means of
his false representations made to her
as to certain bills. he obtained money
from her on a commission basis.
The testimony in the case showed
that Baden received money from Mrs.
Assheton each week for conducting
the commissary of the Inn, and that
he told her that the bills were all
paid, and that he received a commits
sion on the basis of these statements;
whereas, it developed that there were
considerable number of bills that
he knew about at that time, and
which would have reduced his COM
mission If he had not made the al
legged false representations to Mrs.
Assheton.
The charge was in each OF the
three cases obtaining this excess
amount by false pretenses. The case
today was tried before Judge Moss
without a jury, at the Conclusion OF
which, the judgment of mot guilty
was rendered. The other Awo cases
against Baden were continued.
