1t will be well for the people OF
every county in the state to remem
Der that we now have . new state
firearms law, passed by the Fifty
first General Assembly, wherein it is
made o felony to even loan q revolver
to a friend, without first securing a
permi. from the circuit clerk authorize
ing the loan. The new law, which
was fostered by Sam Allender, former
chief of police of st. Louis, is said to
be the most stringent in the country,
and the punishment for violation of it
runs from six months in the county
Jail to five years in the penitentiary,
with a heavy fine also assessible. I'm
der this law n may not sell, loan or
borrow, deliver or trade a gun which
may be concealed about the person
unless a permit is given and the
sheriff of the county must first honor
this permit.
Potosi Journal: "Charley Harris,
the Caledonia bank robberand under
sentance of thirty years in the peni-
tentiary for the crime, made an at
tempt to break jail here Tuesday
evening. When Deputy Sheriff
Firmin Sparks, in the absence OF
Sheriff Richeson, opened Harris cell
to give the latter his supper, Harris
struck Sparks in the face with a mir
ror and tried to make rushfor liberty.
Sparks, however, grappled with
Harris and restrained him until
citizens responding to the alarm made
by Mrs. Richeson rsn to his aid. BY
that time Harris had almost succeed
ed in making his way to the outer
portal of the jail. The Deputy's face
was badly cut by the broken glass OF
the mirror, Harris is being held in
jail here until he can give testimony
in another cas- growing out of the
Caledonia robbery"
Poplar Bluff Republican,: "The
Missouri Pacific Railroad Company is
making a new and substantial invest
ment in Poplar Bluff now in the way
of erecting car sheds, the sheds to be
Al by 240 feet. The contract was re-
Gently given the Joseph E. Nelson &
Son Construction Co., of ST. Louis
and the latter company put a crew of
workmen on the job last week, and
the work is now being rapidly ad-
vanced. The sheds, which will be in
closed, will be equipped particularly
for car repair work-the repair OF
freight care. There will be two tracks
for standard cars and one pony track
FLOR the handling of material by means
of push cars in the building. The
building will be wired for electric
lighting and will perhaps be steam
heated, also provided with fire ok
tinguishers. The cost, it is said, will
be something like $40, 600; In this
connection, it may be of interest to
note that the Missouri Pacific is also
adding extensive trackage in it's yards,
a mile of new track now being under
construction in their yaros. The
company is as another local improve
ment, putting in new ballast all along
the line in this city, as well as north
and south of town."
