RENIcK BANK CHANGES

Within the past few weeks changes
of paramount Importance have taken
place in the Formers Bank at Renick.
James Hardin, cashier, resigned his
position and with his family will re-
move to Denver where they expect to
locate. Mr.. Hardin was stockhold-
er and director and also resigned
this office. Charles Marshall was
elected to fill the position as cashier.
He is a man of ability and possesses
the necessary qualifications for a
good banker and will no doubt draw
a new volume of business to the insti-
tuition not before touched. Ralph
Mitchell, citizen and business man
of Renick was elected as director.
Ralph has been connected with the
business there for IL years and hav-
ing made success for himself will
naturally benefit the institution.
The county is losing a splendid
citizen in the departure of Mr.. Hardin.
No finer man ever lived than James
Hardin and Renick will miss him as
no other citizen Clark Chronicle.

MEETING ADJOURNED TO
FRIDAY OF THIS WEEK

The town council met last Friday
night as per adjournment and for the
purpose of taking up the matter of
securing an engineer to make plans
for the water works system for Key
tesville before the special bonding
election shall be called.
Two engineering firms were present
and each of the representatives laid
their propositions before the council.
The councilmen, however thought It
best to so into the matter of the re-
liability of these firms before making
the final arrangements for engaging
anyone to go through with the work.
The councilmen realize that a poor
job Of engineering is practically
worse than none at all, and as it is
the plan of the city to put in a sys-
tenn that will be adequate to all
needs of the future, even to extending
the system to the entire residence dis
tricts, it was thought best to look up
the reliability of the concerns who
will finally put in an engineer.
At the meeting Friday night un-
doubtedly an engineer will be engaged
and then we're of.

DENY M0BERLY

jefferson City. Widely circulated
unofficial reports eminating from
Moberly purporting to state that
Moberly had been placed upon pre-
ferred type of highway under the
state roadbuilding program recently
authorized, brought vigorous denials
from the State Highway Commission
when the matter was called to the at
tention of the commission.
The reports have been published in
Hannibal, Columbia, Chillicothe and
other Missouri cities, all stating that
information from Moberly" was the
source Of the news.
"Any reports circulated over the
state alleging that any particular
highway has been designated as a
preferred type road are without foun-
ration" says statement by the high
way commission.
The state highway commission has
authorized its engineers to make an
investigation of all proposed high
ways which may be made superior
type highways and has announced
that when these Investigations are
completed, hearings will be held in
Jefferson City upon the various
routes.
"When that is done, the state high
way commission itself will determine
the location and in no other way is it
possible to secure such action"
The Moberly report recently print
ed is said to have designated cross
state route which supposedly had been
selected as a preferred type road.

half miles north of Norborne Thurs
day morning by Sheriff Gibson and
Prosecuting Attorney Whiteman.
The still was operated in the Sec
ond story room in a house occupied
by Adam Stark, Jr., and the opera
tors were Frank and James Roden-
berg.
The news of the approach of the
sheriff reached the ears of the bro
theirs and they tore away portion
of the still and threw it into a small
ditch which was later located, also
fifteen gallons of whisky, two bar
rels of mash and seventy-five pounds
of corn sugar. All of the equipment
was brought to Carrollton. the
whisky was thrown away.

ESCAPE FROM THE
COUNTY BASTILE SUNDAY

Sunday night Sheriff Wilks dig
covered that three prisoners ha.: dug
their way out of the Jail and hal
made good their escape. Now of
course, this was particularly exas.
perating for the sheriff through good
ness of heart had allowed the three
prisoners the freedom of the corridors
because of the extremely hot Sunday
afternoon.
The three young men, Nichols Han
son, Chas. B. Denny, Milton LuttreIl,
had been arrested at Brunswick on
the 9TH of June, last Wednesday,
on the direct charge of beating
their way on the train. The arrest
was demanded by Mr.. Trent of
Brunswick for two reasons. First,
beating their way on the train, and
second, because they were altogether
too well dressed for regular buns,
and it was thought that they had
participated in robbery and we're
being held for reports to arrive on
such a charge. At their hearing
they were sentenced to ten days and
at the time of their escape had served
only five days.
Mr.. Wilks Immediately, called. the
Moberly bloodhounds and the men
were tracked back to Brunswick and
down the track a short distance out
Of town the dogs caught up with
them and they were brought back to
Keytesville
Monday it developed that these
young men were deserters from the
army, and they will be taken to the
Leavenworth barracks.
. The escape Of these men was rather
easy. While in the corridors of the
Jail they found mop stick and pail
and they used piece of the iron to
digeing their way out through the
brick walls.
They came very nearly being dis
covered In their work, for during the
afternoon Mr.. Wilks had company
who wished to see the Jail. The
sheriff took his position at the door
and allowed the visitors to go inside.
1t later developed that the visitors saw
the brick that the boys had dug out
Of the wall, but thought nothing of it
and did not mention it to Mr.. Wilks.
The young men when originally ar
rested gave fictitious names, but Mon
day when charged by the Sheriff as
being deserters they admitted the
fact and gave their correct names.

5 COMPLETE STILLS
ARE TAKEN IN RAID

County Attorney r. o'Bryan, Sher-
if John Milan and Deputy Sheriff
Harry Poison, got tip a few days
ago that white mule" still was in
operation on tract of unimproved
land owned by Roy Quinn, about six
miles southeast OF Huntsville. Think
ing perhaps Sunday would be a good
time 70 catch the operators of the
still these officers landed in that vi
cinity early Sunday morning last.
Leaving their auto they started afoot
through woodland pastures and
heavy underground, over hills and
ravines, and following suspicious
looking trails found the object of
their search, but the manufacturers
of the famous old "mule" had been
given a tip also, it is believed. Any
how, no one was found in charge of
the illicit plant. The officers then
proceeded to take an inventory of the
plant, consisting of nineteen big
barrels of mash, three copper stills
and attachments, one soldering
torch, jugs, buckets and tubs, shot
gun and rife and other things used
in such business, but only a small
jar of white-mule was found. The
officers poured all the mash-prin-
cipally can mash--out on the ground,
except half a barrel of costly mash
peaches, aprieots and prunes, which
is in state of fermentation, the odor
of which can be scented several
yards. In answer to telephone mes
sage FROM the sheriff, three motor
trucks were sent out from Huntsville
to remove the plant to the county
Jail, where it is now stored. One of
the stills is a new one and evidently
had not been used. Each still will
hold Is or 20 gallons. 1t is believed

A STATEMENT OF THE LAW IN
COMING PRIMARY ELECTION
Republicans viii Not be Permitted to.
Vote Democratic Ticket in Primary
in this County--Women Allowed
Full Membership on County Cen
tral Committee.

At meeting Of the Democratic
Central Committee Of Charlton coun-
ty at Keytesville on Wednesday, June
18th, a resolution was unanimously
adopted directing each member of the
committee to procure a challenger to
serve in each precinct in his township
and to challenge all persons offering
to vote the Democratic ticket at the
August Primary not known to be af-
filiated with the Democratic party.
Each member of the committee pledg-
ed himself to see that this rovision
is complied with.
Section 4841 Of. the Statutes pro-
yides that a person asking for tick
ct Of party other than that with
which he is known to be affiliated
shall not be permitted to vote such
ticket unless he shall obligate him
self by oath to support all of the
nominees of the party whose ticket he
attempts to vote. For some years
past Republicans have been partici-
pating in the Primary vote and vot-
ing their own party ticket in Novem-
Der. Every effort will be made to
stop the practice this time. The At
torney General, in a recent opinion,
has held that this section of the law
is enforcible and there are some rath-.
er severe penalties attached for viola
tion Of the law if invoked.
Among other matters the County
Committee by resolution provided
There should be elected two commit
teemen from each township to be
members of the Democratic Central
Committee with the recommendation
that one Of such members shall be a
woman.
The other business transacted was
making Recommendation Of persons
for judges Of election to the county
court as provided by law.

Mrs. Scrivner arrived home last
night on Wabash No. IL from JEFF
ferson City, where she had been Wis
iting relatives. She had been away
on 2 visit for little more than
week and Mr.. Scrivner was supposed
to come to Jefferson City for her.
Instead she received a letter from
him saying he was leaving. He gave
no reason for it, nor did not say
where he was going. His sudden de-
parture was as much a surprise to
the wife as it was to their many
friends.
The couple did not have any trou-
BILE Of any kind, Mrs. Scrivner told
Democrat representative.
Mrs. Scrivner visits her relatives
at the capitol city every year about
this time and Mr.. Scrivner always
went down after her for the trip
home. He had planned to do so this
time, Mrs. Scrivner said. Upon re-
ceiving the letter from her husband
that he was leaving she returned
home.
She said today she didn't have
any idea where he went, nor why he
left, as they had had no trouble

said, have strong suspicion who they
are. 1t is said that the mash was
about ready to be put in the stills,
and that operators were expecting a
fine drove of white mules with the
usual hard and happy kicks.
Prosecuting Attorney o'Bryan told
a Democrat reporter this morning
that Rev. E. Y. Keiter had given the
tip on the location of this still.
O'Bryan said the barn on the farm
had been torn down and the lumber
used to build a "shanty" to manufac-
