BANDIT HOLDS UP
CLARKSpALE STORE

CLARKsDALE Miss, Sept. 10. (splD
"A daring robbery took place in the
Clarksdale delicatessen Wednesday
night, when a white man, holding
pistol in the face of the proprietor.
demanded the contents of the cash
register. After procuring all the money
from the sales of the day, the bandit,
still pointing his pistol at the pro-
prietor. made him hand over his watch
and two rings.
The robber had been in the shop a
half hour before and purchased couple
of apples inquiring at the time as to
how late the place kept open. He
secured SIS in cash as well as the
jewelry. He was about five feet, seven
inches, weighed about las pounds and
was smooth shaven. The man was
dressed in blue jumper, blue serge
trousers and soft gray hat
1t is thought that the man had a
confederate, as another store in the
town was visited by a stranger inquir-
ing the closing hour, about the same

Inc suffrage amendment to the federal
constitution has bobbed up again This
tline In the document is in tn ehands OF

its original form without being en-

either Speaker Todd or Speaker Walker.
According to Mr. Avent, the submits

resolution in such form will have or
whether 1t can be recorded in the
acts of the special session without an
explanatory note, remains to be seen
The resolution in its original FORM

Avent he had instructions to keep it
until after the LEGISLATURE had ad-

in the secretary of states office late
Thursday. The other measures bearing
the signature of the two speakers and
of the governor are duly engrossed and
enrolled, but senate joint resolution No.

in which the joint resolution reached
the offices of the secretary of state
has raised doubt as to it's effect. 1t
is pointed out that the document does
not conform to the engrossed and en-

upon at the special session, although
there is ample matter on the journals
of both houses to show the course of
