MAN is SHOT IN BOOZE RAID

Harry West was shot in the right
arm just below the shoulder and was
taken prisoner with four other
"boOze" haulers early Wednesday
morning near Melrose by Sheriff
Frazier and his deputies. One Buick
roadster, a Hudson roadster and a
Buick fve-passenger containing a
large amount of liquor was taken in
charge by the officers and taken to
Columbus.
West was shot when he disregarded
the command of the officers to stop
and attempted to speed up and es-
cape. The officers shot with the in
tentions Of stopping the car. The bull
let which hit Jones in the right arm
shattered the bone. He was rushed to
the city hospital at Columbus and
was operated on Wednesday morning
by DR.. Graham.
The other men who were arrested
were Ray Jones, Virgie Bowyer and
H. E. HOuser. They were taken to
Columbus and placed in the county
Jail.
The officers were busy Wednesday
morning unloading the ''boOze" at the
iail. II was stored in the kitchen and
appears. to be one Of the biggest hauls
that has ever been made.
"a the car in which West was nd
lne was found a SO Colts revolver and
. .ss Winchester rife.

F|REBUGS CAUSE
MORNING BLAZE
Glasgow Hardware Company
Warehouse Scene Of Two
Blazes Thursday
Morning

Fire in the warehouse of the Glas-
gov hardware store on Military street
was discovered at about IL o'clock
Thurs. morning. The fire department
made a quick dash to the place
and by hard and intelligent work
soon gat control Of what for a
time threatened to be a disastrous
blaze. The smoke was very heavy
and almost suffocated the workers.
The damage was only a few hundred
dollars in stock and on the building.
,. The blaze undoubtedly was the work
of fire bugs. Only two hours earlier
Robt. Glasgow, owner of the store,
discovered smoke coming up through
the floor of his oil shed, adjoining the
warehouse on the south. He took q
fire extinguisher and went under the
building and there discovered and put
out an insipient blaze that had start
ed up on cross piece right under the
oil barrels. 1t was Enthusiastically in
cendiary. Some believe that the guilty
party had set some sort Of time fire
starters during the night and that he
had miscalculated his time, thus the
fires occurred during the day instead
of Wednesday night.

TO WHOM ri MAY CONCERN
Baxter Springs, Kas.
January 21, 1919.


Mr.. ]. T. McAndrews
Gentlemen:
Having made a careful examination
as to the condition of your building
located at Sixteenth and Military Sts.,
this city, we beg to report we find the
structure in general to be substan-
tial and secure. There has been a
slight settling of all the brick walls,
but this has been uniformly distribu-
ted around the building so that it has
in no way impaired the strength OF
the structure, and is no more than is
usual in buildings of this kind.
The few slight cracks that appear
in some mortar joints of the brick
work on the exterior, and plastering
on the interior are the natural result
of the shrinkage Of the mortar, and
are even less than usually appear IN
such buildings.
What has happened that causes
criticism, has been the breaking Of
some of the plate glass, and dis
torting of the wood and copper bars
in which the glass was set. This has
been caused by building up that part
of the work on top Of the concrete
sidewalk, and tightly against the lin
tel at the top, without giving it suffi-
cient play to allow for the usual set
things of the building, SO that when
this settling took place the frames
were cramped between the Intel. and
the sidewalk, and something had to
give.
But this has in no way impaired the
strength of the structure, and when
the glass is properly replaced the
building will be in first class condi-
ton.
Respectfully submitted,

Supt. Of Construction.

The suit appears to be the outcome
of a prolonged contention between

Indian agents on the other over the
rights to the guardianship Of the
Quapaw estate. The government took
a hand somewhat over d year ago
when investments of the Indians in
Baxter Springs and vicinity appeared

REV CAssIDY's LECTURES

The Rev. Cassidy delivered his
great lecture on Marriage, the Home
and Divorce" Wed. night to crowd
that taxed the seating capacity of the
Catholic church. In language that be-
spoke the strength Of the mans faith
and the vigor of his convictions the
elegant preacher showed how God
created the home and blessed it as the
most glorious thing on earth-the
ideal home being an earnest pledge OF
heaven itself. With words that burn
ed, Rev. Cassidy attacked the divorce
evil, and declared that evil of divorce
was spreading throughout the coun-
try like a poisonous miasma, destroy
ing homes, antagonizing men and
women, and thrusting on cold and
heartless world countless thousands
who must look upon one of their par
ents as an unworthy criminal. He
showed how the Catholic church has
ere stood like an adamantine wall
against the evil and was willing to
lose every nation in the world that
would, like Henry VIII of England,
impugn her authority to hold inviolate
the sacredness of matrimony. He also
fiayed the evil of race-suicide and
those so-called reformers who make
capital out of teaching men and wo-
men how to prevent children from be-
ing born.

The big concrete road from west Of
Joplin to Galena is a hum doozer; the
only things we can find fault about
is that they won't let US coast over
it. Big warning signs reading, "S0
miles limit" stare you in the face.
On a rock road like this thirty miles
is apparently a slow gait. But even
at that, we noticed two dogs that had
come to an untimely end along this
highway. They didn't seem able to
get out of the way even at that speed.

NO MONEY FOR I
LIGHT EXTENSIONS
Reason Given by Company for
Requiring Consumer to
Advance Cost of New
Poles and Wire

The Empire District Electric COM
pany, through its representative, q.
G. Horgan, pleaded lack of funds and
the high cost Of material as the rea-
son for requiring the advance Of $50
per pole where an extension Of the
light service in the city Of Baxter
Springs.
Mr.. Horgman also explained that
the customer who advances the $50
per pole eventually gets his money
back at 6 per cent. For the reim-
bursement of the customer he is al
lowed rs per cent of the moneys pad
for service each month on such ex-
tension until the $4,000 is paid out.
So that the customer does not buy the
pole but loans the company money
with which to make the required ex-
tension. Mr.. Horgan admitted that
this $4,000 charge is special privi-
lege granted his company by the state
Public Service commission. But he al
so contended that this was only fair
under the present war conditions and
that the extensions could not be made
otherwise because the company,
charging as it does the before-the-war
rates, is actually losing money. He
cited several other cities that were
making similar requirements for eX-
tensions.
Mr.. Horgan talked and occupied
the witness stand, for perhaps an
hour and a half. He explained that
poles now cost the company $11.50, as
against S., the -pre-war price. He de-
MED that the company charges the
consumer for the wire used in making
extension, but the charge of $50 per
pole is practically sufficient to cover
the cost of all material and labor in
making extensions. He also did not
know of any movement on the part Of
his company to raise rates here.
Mr.. Horgan called the charge of
poles to consumers borrowing money
from the consumers at 6e6 interest
and paying it back monthly at 20 per
cent of the consumers service bill"
If a mans monthly light bill is $500
he gets so cents back month, or in
Is months he gets all his money back.
Mr.. Horgan says the poles belong to
the company, which simply borrows
$50 from the consumer, or $3.50
more than the poles cost. He says
the company allows the consumer 6
per cent interest on the $50.
Mr.. Horgan. desired the crowd to
understand that the company has
5000, 900, invested in the district,
that the company is very hard up, is
making no money and has had to bor-
row s2,O0o,OOO from the cOmpany's
chief owner, Henry L. Doherty, in ad-
dition to the many $50 for poles that
have been borrowed from consumers.
A Municipal Plant Possible
The Chamber of Commerce direct
ors will take up the electric light
question at their next meeting, on
February 8, and in all probability a
lighting plant will again be
recommended. The evidence, produced
by Mr.. Horgan that his company has
secured special privileges-and these
privileges are against the develop
ment of the city-is generally consid-
cred the big reason that there should
be a municipal plant.

eral plans of construction, large of
girth and very voluble, entertained
the crowd on an east bound car to-
day in a very animated discussion of

things he gave vent to was that he
would like to be a preacher; that there
was no investment and it was all prof

to buy a little vasoline to keep his
