Election Day Finals---Old
q a+r t,O1 Organization j. Win

The Courier comes to us lers a
day late this week. This was caused
by being obliged to wait for election
returns which were slow in coming
in.
Tuesday broke cloudy, but ere
O'Clock had arrived the skies were
clear and it commenced to get hot.
1t was about this time that the
workers began to make their presence
felt, and it was soon realized that
there would be big vote polled in
the county.
Interest ran high, and it seemed to
few enthusiasm was centered on
Mrs. Beuiah Staples who was being
backed by all her friends everywhere
as the final votes proved. 1t seemed
for a while that nothing else matter
ed in the entire election, but it soon
became evident that Mrs. Staples was
nominated beyond question of any
doubt.
Of course, there were many other
cases that were interesting and that
were being worked. ]. E. Mont
gomery had his work all done in the
county long before election day, and
yet there seemed to be some interest
in his case, too, but it was never for
an instant doubted but that Charlton
county would give him a record vote.
Up to the time of going to press
it seems that Senator Fields had car
ried Linn county 1900, Sullivan 600,
but for the district Mr.. Montgomery
had received majority of 600. OF
course, this is not authentic, but it is
the best that the Courier reporter
can obtain.

VIM. D. Herring, whose original p.

Wednesday morning the next day af-
terAand asked us to express his siu-
cere appreciation for the excellent
support he received in Tuesdays cleo
tion. He replied to the Courier's
query, @Did you get across2" "Yes,
clear across and half way back" This
was a popular endorsement of Mr..
Herring's official record as Judge of
the Charlton County Court, most as
suredly due him and he wishes the
public to know that he is an APP
preciative "sort of duck" and that

BR0oKFIELD MAN 4,
WAS MURDERED
Ted Singleton Was Shot Four Times;
The Body Found Monday. No
Arrest Made st First

A body which has been identified
by Lou Cox, brother-in-laW, as thai
Of Ted Singleton, was discovered 81
Fred Moore in the woods near his
farm southeast of this city about neol
last Monday, .Mr. Moore imInediateiy
drovs q Brookaeld and notified III
sstboEkies. The BODY was brought
to the Hunter q Rollins undertaking
rooms and an Examination held. Three
bullets had entered the head AMI a
fourth the left arm pit. A coroners $
jury was called by Dr.. Roy Haley and
rendered a verdict of murder by an
unknown person.
Singleton had been missing since
last night about 8 o'clock, when he
had come UP town in his Ford car. He
is said to have left his car and walk
ed east, leaving the Ford parked near
the corner of Main and West Boston.
The car was found by Mr.. Cox this
morning about 6 o'clock.
This morning a jitney driver was
hired by the widow to search for the
husband. The jitney man says when
he and Cox found Singleton's car this
morning the dog was therein.
1t is said number of shots were
heard last night south Of town, John
Schaefer being one who heard them,
about $3.50.
The question is was. Ted Singleton
killed here in town, or was he taken on
a joy ride and shot by some person
accompanying him? Yes, there is an
opportunity for detective work in this
shocking case, this horrible murder
of last night. Brookield Zagette.

Mrs. john w. Sanders, wife Of the
manager Of the c. J. Harris Lumber
Co., of Boonville, and two children,
John Wade, six years old, and little
daughter, June, two years old lost
their lives Saturday evening, July 20,
about $3.50 o'clock, when the car in
which they were riding with Mr.. San
ders, plunged off fifteen-foot en-
bankment into the Missouri river, six
miles south of Dalton, Mo.
The Sanders car, followed by Mr..
and Mrs. Walter Moore and daughter
in a car, left Bonneville about
o'clock Saturday afternoon for Bruins
wick, for week end visit to Mrs.
Sanders mother, Mrs. Tobe Miller.
Mr.. Sanders was in the lead and
was about nine miles northwest of
Glasgow, and about 16 miles south
east of Brunswick when the accident
occurred. The road ran close to the
river. The recent rains had caused
the river to rise and cut away the old
road, and new road had been opened
to avoid the cut. In the darkness Mr..
Sanders missed the new road and
plunged into the river.
Mr.. Sanders was able to free him
self from the car and was carried
down the stream until finally carried
by the current close enough to the
bank to pull himself out by a tree
root Mr.. Moore was attracted by
the outcries and had come up by this
time and helped him up the steep
bank.
A frantic effort was made to res
cue the wife and children, but in vain.
The body of the little daughter was
recovered, still cIinging to the auto
mobile, but the bodies of Mrs. San
ders and son, Wade, could not be To-
Gated.
Such accidents are 80 deplorable
that one is led to wonder why reason
able precautions are not taken to pre-
vent them. Perhaps If the road over
seer was made to pay heavy damages
there would be less occasion for COM
plant.

Considerable excitement was ex-

was learned that four young people
of Salisbury had lost their lives b

fcut from a nearby fence, weighted
with auto chains, were used in the
search, and as other ears, came, grab
hooks were used, but no trace of the
bodies was found.
Later, several boats we're brought
down the river, and experienced river
men began the search. About 10
Eo'clock, four hours after the drowning,
the bodies Of Miss Brakeman and
Fred Collet werer brought up. About
ten or fifteen minutes later Miss Steg-
Iing's body was found. Mr.. Gardner's
'body was recovered about IL O'Clock.
Each one had their arms folded over
the breast, as though in a natural re-
pose.
All Of the bodies were taken to the
eWinkelmeyer undertaking establish
ment for preparation for burial, and
taken to the several homes the next
morning.
Business was almost at standstill
all day Friday, and the tragic accident
was topic of general discussion. The
four young people were from the best
and most prominent homes in the COM
munity, and each had large circle Of
/ friends.
During the day hundreds Of mes
sages of sympathy and coincidence
were sent to the several homes. Mr..
Collet received many from his coll
legues in the Constitutional Conven-
tion Of which he is a member, and
from lawyer friends over the state.
The Constitutional Convention upon
receipt Of the information adopted
resolutions expressing sorrow and ad-
journed at once.

TWO OTHER PROPOSALS
MOderateS Are Expected to
Prevail in Conference
Tomorrow.

When chief executives of 14S rail-
road systems of the country meet at
the Yale Club tomorrow further to
consider plans under which the shop
mems strike may be ended, a deter
mined attempt will be made by n
group OF Presidents, principally those
in the militant Eastern group, to have
passed a resolution that the negotia-
tions with brotherhood chiefs. acting
as mediators. be dropped This was
the opinion of several of the more
moderate executives interviewed to-
day.
The proposal to be advanced by this
group will provide that each system
be left TO take care OF It's own labor
situation. Belief that tho fight is won,
and that continuance OF negotiations
will only serve to encourage shopmen
to remain on strike, is said to have
prompted the proposed resolution.
A stiff fight on this resolution is
expected, and it seemed the consensus
o-day that 1t will be defeated.
There is still another group of
Presidents, according TO an authori-
tutive source, who hold to the opinion
that terms offered 10 the shopmen
shall be limited in their liberality to
the proposition that the question of
seniority shall be referred back to the
Railroad Labor Board for decision. But
II is admitted that the shopmen will
remain steadfast n their refusal of
these terms.
A third group Of Presidents, so It
is said, have expressed their willing
ness to take back striking shopmen
only to those who have remained loyal
TO the carriers. No one thoroughly
acquainted with the progress of the
negotiations appeared willing to-day
to predict which of these three prop
ositions will be adopted.
All of the local leaders of the strik-
ing shopmen have been aroused by
the statement Of President Loree Of
the Delaware and Hudson, ISSUED late
yesterday, in which he characterized
peace negotiations as "hunk" They
charged that Loreo is cndcavorIng to
