Another Correction

The facts in the Jacobs boot.
Blegging case as we now get them
from Sheriff Wilks are about as
follows; Wilks suspected Jacobs
|of bootlegging. When Jacobs
left he followed him and when
the bootlegger was not looking,
picked up the grip, it felt heavy
and increased the sheriff's sus-
Epicion, but having no warrant or
search warrant he was not In
|clined to be hasty about making
an arrest or going into the grip
to see what it contained. The
sheriff came back from Bruins
wick and during his absence, de-
|tsctive Trent and oeputy sheriff
Simpson arrested Jacobs and
took him before United States
Commissioner R. w. Benecke.
Upon being questioned Jacobs
admitted that the grip contain
ed whiskey and this admission
being sufficient to warrant the
commissioned seizing the grip he
did so and found thirteen pints
and four quarts of home made
whiskey therein. The commits
sioner called the St. Louis officer
of the Federal Prohibition en-
forcement office, told him the
facts and asked for instructions.
He was told to confscate the
grip and liquor. place Jacobs un'
der arrest and take bond for his
appearance before the Fedora
court at Hannibal. Jacobs sale

commissioner to talk to tn
Prosecuting Attorney about tn
matter and doing so was inform

burton and had a short talk with
him in the Office and then went
to her room. As he went up
town he met Mrs. Nichols Of the
hotel and told her that Miss
CIosson was there and that she
appeared upset. Mr.. Hallibur-
ton said there was nothing in
the manner of Miss Closson nor
in her short talk with him that
in the remotest indicated that
she contemplated self destruct-
ion. Mrs. Nichols gathered up
some sewing and went to the
room occupied by Miss Closson
and went in. She noticed Miss
Closson lying on the bed and
with a handkerchief spread over
her face. She shut the door
and started to the bed when she
heard unnatural breathing and

opened the door and returned
to the bed and saw plainly that
the young woman was suffering
from some cause and immediate
~ summoned physicians who did
all in their power to arrest the
effects of poison which they dis

no success, death following her
act quickly. After reaching the
! hotel Miss Closson wrote a note
to her parents telling them that
she intended to end her troubles
and directing the disposal of her

Miss Grace Closson was one

Others. Gentle. ambitious and

Wool Marketing

A number of the Wool Crow
ers Of the County met in Bruins
wick on Saturday and planned
to market their wool through the
State pool which is being organ
lied at st. Louis.
Under this plan it is hoped to
sell the wool direct to the mills
|in the east. shipping carloads Of
each grade separately and by
storing a large amount of wool
in one place it will do away with
the excessive cost Of storage.
It is thought that the cost Of
storing and selling this wool
would not exceed 2 cents pei
pound as arrangements have
been made for a freproof ware
house having a capacity Of two
million pounds Of wool.
Those wishing to ship to this
warehouse should get in touch
with the Farm Bureau Office fol

in company with Mr.. H. M. Gar
lock from Columbia, Mo. making
a preliminary trip to prominent
Breeders of five stock of Chari-
ton County endeavoring to make
some plans for a live stock tour
which the Breeders are plan
ming to carry on probably the
last week in August. Mr.. Gar
lock is well pleased with some OF
the good live stock which our
Breeders have in Charlton Coun-

many good lessons may be drawn
from the breeding and selections
of some of these herds.
