Lodges in Right Side. A Close
Call.
Mr.. Geo. c. Anderson, who lives he
tween Waterloo and Mountville, was
shot through the left jaw with pis-
tol by negro hand on the place OF
MIR. Artcmus Long Thursday evening
about dusk The bullet entered the law
below the teeth, fracturing it and pass
ing through his mouth to the right law
where it knocked out two teeth and
spent its force 1t fell back into the
PIT OF the mouth and was spit out up-
on the ground. The negro escaped
and has not yet been apprchcndcd.
IL appears that the negro, Austin
Griilln by name, had been upbraidcd
by Mr. Artcmus Long several days be-
lorc lor failure to perform his work
IN a proper manner and was doubtless
nursing a grievance on this account.
Thursday evening, Mr.. Long went
down to his farm, the Mandy Jones
place, to look after some mules which
were in the pasture. Mr.. Anderson
with children OF both, ACCOMPANIED
him. Arriving at the farm Mr.. Long
went to the pasture to look after the
mules, leaving Mr.. Anderson i'm the
car with the children. Austin Griffin
drove up in a buggy with another ne
gro using vilo and warranted Ian
guage. Mr.. Anderson told him to stop
using such improper language in the
presence Of the children, but the negro
continud without needing the remon-
stance. Mr.. Anderson then got out of
the car determined to put stop to
the cursing by force. He reached for
tho whip in the negro's buggy, but the
negro drew Il pistol from his pocket
and shot twice. The first bullet missed
its mark, but the second took effect.
Mr.. Anderson fell to the ground and
tho negro fled. Mr.. Long, hearing the
pistol shot, rushed back to find out the
trouble. The negro was already near
~ out Of sight, driving at a furious
pace, and Mr.. Long had to give his at
tcntiOn to Mr.. Anderson allowing the
negro to escape entirely. Peace Off
GERS and civilians have made close
search for him since, but so far he
has eludcd arrest.
Mr.. Anderson, though painfully, was
not seriously wounded. He was able TO
return to the city Monday to have his
wound treated.

Nationwide Prohibition Goes Into
Eject Janunry 1920.
Washington. June 30.-As wartime
prohibition took effect tonight the de-
partment OF Justice announced that
It's agents throughout tho country
would not attempt tomorrow to stop
the sale Of two and thrcc-quarters per
cent beer.
This eleventh hour Developments a
nat reversal Of an earlier ruling today
by the department, was due to .hc un-
certainty as to how the federal dis
trict court Of New York might rule on
a pending claim by brewers that beer
containing that much alcohol was not
intoxicating. But while this uncer-
talnty existed as TO beer or lighter
aicohollc percentage than that sold
generally heretofore, full warning was
given that with respect to whiskey
ana all beverages as to whose intoXi-
eating powers there was no doubt, cv-
cry governmental agency would be
set to work in a determined effort to
prevent their manufacture and sale.
How long the sale OF two and three
quarters per cent beer might continue
would depend ordinarily upon the
speed OF the courts but congress
meanwhile will step to the front in
an effort to complete the effectiveness
OF the warstimc law.
Exactly what they have refused
heretofore to do, prohibition members
OF the hous now will attempt-p pass
age OF straight, clear-cut BILL for
enforcement OF wartime prohibition.
When word spread tonight that the
attorney general by his ruling, had
permitted beer saloons and breweries
to remain in operation, members Of
the judiciary committee counted noses
to find Il sufficient number ready to
go to tho front to demand separation
get through a. oHce 2 bill that would
stop the sale Of all beer containing
more than one-half or or, per cent
alcohol
u,
refused TO abandon plans for a recess
beginning probably tomorrow in or
der to put t',a bill through as an emcr-
gcncy measure. and the whole question
Of prohibition will be held up until
next Monday, at the earliest. There
were indications tonight that a hard
fight would be made in behalf Of an
amendment to be offered by Repre-
sentative tgoe, Democrat, OF Missouri,
which would permit the president to
set aside the wartime act insofar as
it relates TO light wines and beers.
While the attorney generals staff
was wrestling with the questions OF
Intoxicating and Notwithstanding beer
the judiciary committee sent to the
house its report in which tho bold as
sertion was made that anything over
Onc-half Of one per cent alcohol was
intoxicating within tho purvicw Of the
general law, and that congress, and
not the court. should fix the alcoholic
percentage of all beverages, sale of
which is restricted by prohibition
statutes.

usual honor by the joyful throng, Il

HORSE THIEF
Scratches Out Of Jail.

Has anyone seen one Bryant Cor
CELL, arrested here last week for horse
stealing? This young culprit was
arrested here last Tuesday by Mar
shall Heron while trying to sell
horse and buggy for about one third
of its value. He at first denied his
guilt, but after being placed in Jail
admitted that he had stolen it from
Charles Clark near Lebanon. Cor
CELL halls from Liberty, Casey county,
at least that's what he told the Of
ficers.
But the interesting part of this lit
tie episode is that Corgell escaped
from Jail last Saturday evening about
six o'clock by removing the brick
from under the rear window of the
Jail and made a safe getaway. He
left no trace and nothing up to this
time has been heard from him. He
left no address and his departure was
rather informal to say the least of it.
