DIDN'T LIKE JELLYFISH KIND
Youthful Uncle Preferred Babies
Which Had at Least Some Bones
in Their Backs.

A young Indianapolis matron Of
ten goes out to her old home with
her two tiny children. Of course,
grandmother and grandfather are
equally as fond Of the three-months-
old baby as they are Of the three
years-older. But Uncle Harry,
high-school youngster, seems to be
exceedingly partial to the older one.
And his sister does not like it.
She decided recently to force his
affection for the baby. So when
ever he is around she insists on his
holding it. lie bravely complies,
but few days ago he took it rather
gingerly and remarked; ooh, Jean.
I'm crazy about kids, as you know.
But | can't say that | like to take
care of them until they get big
enough to have bones in their

EVOLVES sToNELEss PRUNE.

Since the ostensibly despised but
privately relished prune has gained
the dignity Of high price, it is in
teresting to note the advent of a
particularly luscious species remark
able for its utter lack of stone. In
place of the usual adamantine core
is a tender unprotected seed, with
the look and flavor of an almond
kernel, making the whole fruit deli
ciously edible, according to story
appearing in Popular Mechanics
Magazine for May. The develop
ment Of this curious and valuable
food product by noted horticul-
turist has naturally extended over
a considerable period of years.

For County Attorney

In another column of this
paper is the announcement OF
Thos. R. Geeer for the office of
County Attorney.
Mr.. Greer is the present in
cumbent of this office and from
the record that he has made
seeks reelection to this import
ant position.
Among things that have been
accomplished by him are col
lection of delinquent taxes
that were outstanding when
he took office and close appli-
cation to the routine duties of
the position.
He is the only candidate of
the four running who speaks
Spanish and this is important III
view Of the fact that fully 65 per
cent of the criminal cases in the
county come from the Mexican
class Of people. The wages dur
ing the time that he has served
have been small-S125. 90 a
month; and now that the salary
is raised and the position pays
$2500. a year, he is undoubted-
ly entitled to hold over for
another two years.
Mr.. Greer is a native son, has
lived here longer than any of
his competitors, has helped to
build up the community socially,
has assisted many a young man
and woman to higher ideals and
higher citizenship and is enti-
tled.to consideration in the COM
ing primary election. AS a pub
lie officer has been right on the
job at all times and asks your as
sist ance on this record.

asks that the demands of labor be
met with sympathy, justice and fair
ness to the workingman, but with a
realization of the paramount inter-
est of the public. An eight hour

women and girls in all industry is
favored.
The platform asks the repeal of

scored for its failure to include the
subject of better salaries for teach

Gratis pledged their support to a
salary schedule based upon proven
efficiency with a minimum of ST.

The trunk murder" mystery, In
connection with which Eugene Lee
roy was sought by detectives all
over the country and in Canada anu
Mexico, had ramifications which
extended from New York to Michi-
gan, Mississippi and Alabama.
A few minutes after an employee
of the American Railway Express
company at New York had discov-
cred the nude and mutilated body
of young woman in a trunk stored
in the unclaimed baggage ware
house, police of New York and De-
troit began following the train OF
evidence which led to the victim s
Identification as Mrs. katherine
Lou Jackson of Sturgis, Miss, and
the location of A. A. Tatum, whose
name and a Detroit street address
were found marked on the trunk
which concealed the crime for
more than month.
AT los Harper street, Detroit,
Tatum was unknown but someone
there told detectives that young
couple known as Mr.. and Mrs. e.
Leroy had disappeared from that
address about June 10, the date on
which the trunk was shipped to
New York.
The publicity given these two
names. Leroy and Tatum, brought
forward Andrew ]. Branic, a New
York expressman who said he
knew Leroy under the name of Fer
nandeZ. He told the police he had
handled a trunk for Fernandez or
Leroy, who, he said, also used the
name of o. j. Woods. He produced
a letter from Leroy, enclosing a
check for the trunk in Which the
body was later found, asking that
it be removed from the express
warehouse and stored by Branic
until Leroy should call for it.
A Detroit policeman, Leo Trum-
bull, then came to the front, declar-
ing that he and his wife, knew the
young woman who lived with Leroy
as his wife at the Harper avenue
address. When the body of the
woman arrived in De-
troit. Trumbull and his wife iden-
titled it as Mrs. Leroy"
Then from the south came posi-
tive word that "Mrs. Leroy" was
really Mrs. Jackson, wife of Kid
Mccoy Jackson of. Sturgis, Miss.
1.-The town was too small for
Kitty Lou and she went away"
Jackson said, when asked to tell
what he knew of his wife's wan
behring's.
Next Tatum, the man whose
name appeared on the mysterious
trunk, walked into police headquar-
ters at Birmingham. Ala, and ex-
planned his connection with the
case.
He told the authorities that he
had known Mrs. Jackson in Bir-
riingham, where he works as n |
linotype operator. AT her invfs
