FEWER ARRESTS IN 1919.
Only Al Committed to Audrain Co..
Jail Last Year.

Forty-four commitments to the
Audrain County Jail were made in
1919 as compared to sixty the year
previous, according to the Jail record
of Sheriff JIG. Ford. Only one woman
was included in the number for last
year, while six of the sixty committed
in 1918 were women. The percentage
of white among those committed in
1919 was larger than the percentage
in 1918. Thirty, including the ,ne
woman, more than half of the entire
number, were white, in 1919; while
in 1918 thirty-three, including all the
woman, were black.
All of the Jail sentences imposed
in 1919 were made alternative to the
payment of fines land therefore many
of the number who were committed
to Jail went for only a few days, and
some did not go at all, because the
fines were paid Immediately.

PERRY LEE HOOVER
ACC|DENTLY KILLED
Returned Soldier is sbot By His Own
Gun While Hunting
Thursday
BRaUGHT TO HOSPITAL
Leaves Parents, Five Brothers and
Three Sisters-Was 25
Years Old.

Perry Lee Hoover, 25 years old, ac-
cidently shot and killed himself while
hunting near his home miles north@
east of Auxvasse Friday afternoon.
Two of his brothers, Edgar and
Earnest Hoover, were with him and
as soon as the accident occurred they
brought the injured man to Mexico to
the Audrain Hospital, arriving here
about o'clock. Nothing could be
done for Mr.. Hoover, however, and he
died at $40.
AS nearly as the brothers could
tell at the distance they were from
him at the time of the accident, Hoov-
er had set his gun down and leaned
over to look into hole in tree; the
gun slipped and discharged and the
shot entered Hoover's left side.
Mr.. Hoover returned June 25 from
ten months over seas service with
the American Expeditionary Forces,
having been in the army exactly one
year. Since that time he has lived
on his fathers farm where he was en-
gagged in work. He leaves a father
and mother, three sisters and five
brothers. The sisters are, Misses
George and Birdie and Mrs. Katie
White, the latter of Carolina; the bro
theirs are Lonnie, Edgar, BARLEY, Ear
nest and Roy, all of whom live at the
home of their parents.
Mr.. Hoover was an upright and
respected young men and his sudden
death will be the cause of much grief
among his many friends. The Ledger
joins in extending sincere sympathy
to his parents and brothers and SIS
ters.

MORE FINES PAID IN 1919.
Last Year is Record Breaker For
Audrain Circuit Court.

Owing to the efficiency of the Of
ficers of the Audrain Circuit Court
more fines were collected in 1919 than
in any other year in the history of the
county, according to E. F. Elliott,
who says that the total amount paid
to him was $6,320.60.
The money collected in fines and
turned over to the county was more
than the amount required to run the
Circuit Clerks office; thus making
that office self supporting.
