declared it had been agreed upon after

The Outcome?

The legislature called in spec

up for consideration of several
matters which the regular sess-
ion did not act on but the para
mount subject is the sixty mill

all sorts of revision if not thrown
into the scrap heap. head and
heels and just what legislation
will be pot thru, providing for
the expenditure of the big fund,

Several definitions of hard snr-

FINE BOY DROWNED

Body Recovered.

Last Saturday evening, Clyde
Deweese, son of Mrs. Mary M.
Deweese in the Grove, with Fred
Heimer, John Sutton, Clyde FL

Clyde was working in the barber
shop of Ed Mortimeyer at Bruins

ing out Of commission they were
prevented from working on ac-
count of no light so concluded to

After being in the water a few
minutes Deweese grabbed Helm.

pulled him under which was
with considerable difficulty as il
was hard for Heimer to get loose.
Clyde Elliott who was near was

After fighting Deweese off, Sut.

No Cat Doctor

Paul B. Koerner came to this
city from LeMay Ferry Road in
st. Louis county several years
ago and run the bakery for
some time. He was among the
best bakers that ever was, but
while here at least, he was not
particular in the matter of hav-
ing the family wash done along
side of dough making nor his
numerous unkempt progeny
mixing around with the loayes.
Paul learned that these peculiar
ties in the business would not
mix well with the appetites of
his customers and hied himself
to Kansas City where he now
conducts a bakery. 1t appears
that the phone number for his
bakery is also in the directory
under the caption Dog and Cat
Hospitals, the name, telephone
number and street address being
the same. 1t seems that Paul
has been called up to doctor dogs
and cats and furnish hospital fa-
cilities for felines and CANNES
oftener than for sanitary, elec-
trically cooked bread, pies n
things and he threatens suit
against the phone system for
having him listed other than as
a baker. Paul contends that
dogs and cats do not mix popu-
largly with bread and cakes and
AYERS that he never owned a
dog or cat in his life. Paul
is entitled to damages from
some one.

John C. Coleman

1t was a matter of considera-
Bile surprise to the community
Saturday morning when the re-
port of the death of John C..
Coleman was circulated. While
he had not been in the best Of
health for more than a year and
during the past few week
scarcely able to attend to his
business as proprietor of the
Coleman Hotel. still few thought
his condition was so serious. He
has suffered from Brights disease
and complications since before
the death of his wife February
81, 1920.
John G. Coleman was bern at
Hodginsville, KY. ia the year
1852, the exact date he appeared
not to have known himself.
With his parents Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Coleman he came to this
county about fifty year ago and
with the exception of a few
years has been a resident since.
He married Mary L. Musgraves
at Murdock. Kans. about 1891
and in addition to other pursuits
they conducted a hotel at Sum-
ner and since about 1912 a ho-
tel in this city. Since the death
of his wife he gradually declined
in health and business activity.
He was a member of the Baptist
church and funeral services was
conducted Sunday afternoon by
Rev. Norvell and interment in
the city cemetery.
