We substitute a Christmas
Carol by Edgar Guest for cur

Gobbler, smear of holly or mistle-

stated that he would be at liberty
about April 1921 and back to ex-

which, on his word, he wrote
himself for the edification of a
number of other inmates of the

publish the poem bat since it ap-

other poems wherein it is merit.

CHILLED TO DEATH
Three Dead On Sand Bar
Wading Out Easy
Stormy Night

Monday, Dec. 13, Annie Logan
a negro woman who lives on the
Saline county side of the Mo.
river desired to return home
from Brunswick where she had
heen with her IA year old son
for medical treatment for the
boy. She went to the home of a
sister not far from the river and
and got word to Hans Hermann,
a man Of 70 who does ferry bust.
ness near Frankfort, to come for
her and her son. He crossed
the river in his skiff and about
night Annie Logan and son, ac-
companied by the sister, reached
the river. A gale was blowing
and darkness coming on and
these impediments to navigation
brOt misgivings to Hermann, a
white man, about Undertaking
the trip across the river. Annie
was insistent, desiring to get
home because she had been so
long away and on account of the
condition of her boy and the old
ferryman consented to undertake
the crossing against his judge
ment, according to the account
by the colgred sister.
Saturday afternoon a party
wandering along the bank of
the river on the Saline side saw
objects on a sand bar which
could not be identified at the
distance of only about 80 yards
and proceeded to investigate.
Upon reaching the bar the dead
bodies of old man Hermann and
the negro woman and her boy
were discovered, frozen stiff,
and a short distance from each
other, the body of the boy partly
across that Of his mother.
Hermann's family thot moth
ing of his absence for the old
man frequently staid over on
this side with relatives and the
family of Annie Logan were not
worried because she had left
home with no set time for her
return.
1t is evident that the skiff
with its occupants reached
the sand bar in distress from
wind and waves, an oar being
broken and the indications being
that the boat had been blown up
en- the bar. Tracks over the bar
showed that the marooned had
wandered about in the storm
and darkness until fatigue over
come them and they laid down
and slept until chilled to death.
The distance between the bar
and the bank of the river was
short and the water was not
. more than four inches deep and
: had the storm not confused them
and made the old river man un'
: certain of his whereabouts, al
: could have waded to safety with
OUT so much as getting their feel
vet had they worn common over

nor will they ever know.

SUICIDES
Two Prominent Citizens Of The
County Die By Own Hands.
Razor, Acid.

1t would appear that the i'm
possible has taken place for not
one of the acquainances of John
Bayne unacquainted with his
condition for two or three years
could have been made to believe
that he would have committed
self destruction. Some time ago
he went to Kansas City Mo. for
medical attention and while
there lapse of memory complete
rendered him incapable for a
time of telling his name, place
of residence or any other par
ticular concerning himself, and
last Saturday morning when he
took an old razor and slashed his
ueck, severing windpipe and
other conduits in his throat to
such an extent that they could
not be put together again and
death resulted from loss Of
blood and this condition Tuesday
evening at $50. After the act
he was able to make himself
understood for a few moments
and then resorted to sign lam
guage with his hands to a son, a
deaf mute, explaining that he
had no idea of what impelled
him to do so nor when he had
used the razor for his own de-
struction. Evidently another of
the instances of his ailment pro-
ducing total irresponsibility.
No man in the eastern part OF
the county was more respected
or trusted than John Bayne,
Brainy, big and broadminded,
honest as men are made, lending
valuable assistance to any whC
sought it of him whether physi
cal or advisory. John Baynt
was a tower of strength and
