BOONE FOLKS ARE SKINNY
SHOCKED.
Couples Break Into Schools and
Churches, Holding Dancing
Parties.

Boone, Ia.-Are the people of
Boone in an uproar?
Listen to the echo-they are!
The other day the janitor at the
Page school building found three
couples in the building at 8 o'clock
at night. The Victrola was going
and the shimmy was on full tilt.
At least, the janitor says it was
on, and that two of the three girls
had their skirts off and they SHIN
mied to such an extent that the
plastering on the lower floor was
loosened and shivered to the floor.
The names have not been made
public, but Superintendent Wooten
of the public schools filed list of
names and a complaint with the
county attorney.
In turn the county attorney says
under the law none but Migrants or
tramps can be prosecuted for enter
ing the school building.
This brings the thing up to the
last climax where both the superin-
tendent and the county attorney
have resorted to the use of the news
papers in airing the grief. The news
papers can't print the names for fear
of libel suits.
One fight is a direct result of &C
cusation which had been thrown
carelessly about. 1t cost one man s.
and costs and the janitor is so limp
he has hardly been able for duty.
He'd named the wrong man.
The uproar and demand for an
investigation grew all the more urg-
ent this morning when it was learned
the Hope mission, a building main
tanned by the Presbyterian church
in the extreme north part OF the city
had had both doors broken loose,
fire had been built in the stove and
chairs were assembled in half cir
Gle about the stove, while cigar and
cigaret ashes covered the floor and
the remnants of the Smokes" were
scattered over the building.
One of the good deacons broke
forth this morning with the state
ment: "It beats all the way they will
break into these places to raise all
their devilment."

Boy Fell 30 Feet.

Waterloo, Ia.-Quick wit and
bravery of fellow students saved the
life of Russell Stewart, high school
scholar, when he fell from a ladder
at the top of a ninety foot fiagpole
toward the cement pavement below.
Stewart grasped a rung of the
ladder and broke the fall for an in
slant. Students below grouped about
the base of the staff.
Stewart struck the group feet
foremost, bounded off and escaped
with a sprained knee.
Stewart was formerly a sailor in
the United States navy.

We are doing something for the people of
Richmond that has never been attempted be-
fore. The people could always buy 100
acre farm or fifty-acre one by paying lot
OF cash. But all the people are not farmers
and could not buy them nor did not have any
use for them. But every man who works
in the city has dreamed OF his little acre
garden farm near the city and his work
where he could so and come quickly. Well.
Mr.. Man, we have it. so come quick and get
your choice NOW at the opening prices.
We have Just one hundred Of these small
farms. We bought large farm and are cut
ting 1t up into these smaller FARMS and are
running tho streets through SO as every acre
will face on a street especially for those peo-
pie owning their own autos. We bought this
property at a fair price and are selling these
small farms cheaper per acre than they are
asking for large farms per acre great deal
farther out.

 I0Nn0N POLICE IN WILD CHASE

After chasing an automobile which, t is claimed, is being used as a ,whiskey buggy" for over 20 miles Monday even ing, the police of New London lost the alleged .'whiskey runners in Norwich and were forced to give up the chase. and all that they have to show for their eff forts is spare tire, humber plate and an empty whiskey can.
 Shortly after o'clock on Monday evening the New London police received a call from Saybrook stating that an au. tomobile carrying contraband liquor was bound for that city: The New London police immediately secured a speedy, car and went to meet the whskey runners They laid in wait for them at Moss brokers Corners on the East Lyme road, about five or six miles west of New Lon don. The ''wh:skey buggy" made its ap- pearance very shortly and the officers went out into the road to stop it, but to no avail for the driver of the other nla- chine speeded up and headed directly for New London. The police car took up the chase.
 The "whiskey buggy" Packard twin six, tore through the night ta 50 miles an hour right into the heart of New London ''-it.l the police machine only a lap or two

As the Packard went over a crosswalk at the corner of Bradley and Federal streets a spar tire and the number plate of the car fell of and were captured by the police.
 The police car during all this time was right on the tail of the "whiskey buggy" and as the chase strengthened out on the Norwich road the police officers resorted to the automatics. pumping 10 shots into the rear end of the fleeing machine dur ing the wild chase to Norwich.
 The Packard came up West Thames street. but near the Richmnrd Radiator company turned into High Q rect, going over this ana turning shari...J into West Main street. and were gone before the pursuing car had a chance to see where they went AZ the Packard turned the High street corner 2 five gallon can of liquor fell out of the machine and rolled along the road The cIa. badly derted and damned. sprang a leak and the con- tents leaked into the gutter The local police and the New London police followed out West Main street, but could find no trace of their quarry.
