Power Plant Wrecked With Charge

Power Plant Wrecked With Charge
Of Dynamite
Huntington, W. Va, Aug. a.
After an unsuccessful effort had
been made to decoy the state police
from Borderland by a telephone
message describing disorder at Rawl
two miles distant, according to Off
cials of that organization, the power
house of the Borderland Coal cor
poration mine No. 2 was blown up
by dynamite. There was no loss of
life.
The Borderland company mines
have been operated continuously
since the beginning OF the present
strike of coal miners in this region.
1t is said the dynamiting was accom-
plished by means of a case of the
explosive being placed against one
of the outer walls of the building
and, set off with an electric spark.
Vigilance of the state police, i is
believed, prevented more thorough
preparation and consequent larger
destruction. The switchboard was
destroyed and the boiler room put
temporarily out of comm: sion.
Damage is estimated at $4,000.
No fatalities resulted from the
pitched battle between miners and
mine guards at Mohawk, Mcdowell
county, Saturday, according to re-
ports reaching here. That the miners
had anticipated battle Of longer
duration was indicated today by the
discovery of camp in the forest
Mohawk which had been provided
with food.

ORDER KNIGHTS OF
PYTHIAS IN THE
CITY OF ABBEVILLE

The Order Knights of Pythias in
Abbeville has stood many years for
the highest ideals in American citi-
zenship, patriotic devotion to the
country and loyalty to the civic well
fare of the community. Since Abbe-,
vile Lodge, Knights of Pythias was
instituted in this city, it's Castle Hall
has been the meeting place of men
inspired to perform service for
their fellowmen and to aid in all that
would tend toward the development
Of well regulated community. TO
be a Pythian in this town means That
you are alive to the social welfare Of
the community, that you are loyal to
the fraternal conception of life and
that you have enlisted IN the cause
of the development of brotherhood
and fraternal fellowship Of men.
Perhaps no other fraternal society
has performed a greater service to
the community than has the Knights
of Pythias during the last lew years.
The Order was founded on Feb.
10th, 1864, and the membership looks
with pride on it's progress. More
than three million men have pledged
friendship at the Pythian altar and
sworn allegiance to the country in
which they live. The Order now has
100000 members and oyer $500
lodges in the United States and Can
ada. The Order seeks the association
OF men who are 100 per cent patriots.
1t offers a fellowship in fraternity
that meets the needs of men in this
stress and strain of times. The lodges
are making history in. their commu-
mites by doing a service that aids in
building up the morale and providing
an avenue for men and women to
perform their civic duties. ,,
In devotion to country the Pythian
Order has a clear and we'll earned
record. More than 10000 OF her men,
bership saw service in the World
War and thousands gave their lives
l.: s.r1o:. c.. the, principles upon
which the Order itself is founded.
The war record of the members of
this Order is second to none. Be-
sides sending large number of men,
bers into the service, those who re-
mained at home, aided by their wiv-
es, mothers and sisters, contributed
much to building up the morale OF
the community and in supplying the
needs of the Government at a time
when the service of every citizen
was demanded. Upon the record the
Lodge has made in this community,
its members solicit the consideration
of all men who love tneIr country
and who are interested in promul-
eating fraternal ideals.

Desperado Donnie Chester Held for
Barton Murder Attempts Self.
Destruction in Cell.

Broken Bow, Neb., Nov, 20. -
UNITED Press -Dennie Chester,
desperate, recaptured yesterday
after a sensational escape from de-
tectives taking him to Kansas City,
climaxed the spectacular man hunt
with attempted suicide last night.
The sheriff's wife frustrated Ches-
ter's effort to kill himself when
she found him unconscious in his
cell with a cord, improvised from
strips of his blanket, drawn tightly
about his neck.
Chester left a note addressed to
his wife in Los Angeles in which
he was said to have confessed his
love for wife and family, adding
that he "just now is realizing he
loved them very much"
Custer county officials will take
Chester to kals.s City, the deputy
sheriff explaining "he might get
away from Kansas City detectives"
Chester escaped from three OF
them by diving head first through
two panes of glass in Pullman
car window. Chester, pronounced
out of danger following his attempt
at suicide, has been placed under
heavy guard to prevent any attempt
at Jail delivery. There is a heavy
price on his head for capture and
conviction for murder of Miss Flor
ence Barton, popular Kansas City
society girl.
Chester has steadily maintained
that he did not kill the girl and
that he knew nothing of the crime.

Price.

More than 344 bushels of the 600
bushels of early Ohio certified seed
potatoes bought by the Mercer
county farm bureau for sale in the
county have been disposed Of The
potatoes were received in Aledo on
Thursday and were found to be in
good condition. Orders were taken
and filled at the car yesterday, but
it was found necessary this morn
ing to remove the remaining spuds
to the storerooms Of the farm bu-
reau office. Potatoes sold yesterday
from the car for $1.70 per bushel,
but Farm Adviser Richey stated to-
day that the cost of hauling the po-
tatoes from the cars to the farm
bureau Office will be added to the
selling price, thus making the
price about $1.75 per bushel. This
increase in price will just cover the
cost of removing the potatoes
Orders are coming in rapidly for
the seed potatoes, but Mr.. Richey
states that as long as they last they
can be obtained from the farm
bureau Office at the above named
price. Requests for the potatoes
should be sent in at once.

ELECT OFFICERS
AND TALK PRICES
AT FARMERS MEET

The annual election Of onicers
took place last night at . meeting
Of the South Moline branch of the
Rock Island county farm bureau.
which convened in the Fairview
school house in Highland addition.
Frank Byers, manager of the
Midvale farm. was elected presi-
dent, Henry Newton secretary. and
Charles King township director. It
was decided to meet regularly each
month, the date and place to be
determined at the next meeting.
A discussion Of farm conditions
and prices followed the regular
business session, in which it was
generally agreed that farmers are
not receiving enough for their
products. No action was taken on
the proposal that the farmers unite
to keep prices on level that would
assure them a fair margin OF profit.
Price of corn in Rock Island
county has evidently not been af-
fected by the big slump in the Chi
cago grain market which brought
down the price yesterday to So
cents a bushel in that city.
Mention was made at the meet
ing last night of farm products
and machinery sale held earlier in
the afternoon at the Beck farm.
Several hundred bushels of corn
had been sold at IS cents a bushel

SCHOOL BOARD IN
WITH THE COUNCIL,

A satisfactory arrangement be-
tween the school board of Aledo and
the city council was made last
night at the meeting of the council
at the city hall concerning the COM
plant made by several Aledo citi-
zens of the noise made by the
school children playing in Monu-
ment park, where several grades
of the public school are held this
year in the old William and Vashti
conservatory. Several citizens liv-
ing near the park recently COM
planned to the city council of the
disturbances made by the children,
especially during the evening
hours. The school board has ar
ranged to have play apparatus lock-
ed up after school hours, so that
there will be no further night dis
turbances. No other business of
Importance was transacted at the
council meeting last night, which
was postponed from the regular
meeting night on last Monday, be-
cause there was not a sufficient
number of the council members to
form a quorum.
