CECIL GEORGE BOUND OVER
Young Man Charged with Death of
w. T. LeCompte Has Preliminary
Trial. Testimony Favorable
To George.

The preliminary hearing, of Cecff
George, of Peirce City, charged with
murder of w. T. LeCompte, was held
at Freistatt Monday. After hearing
the testimony the court decided to
bind the young man over to circuit
court, which will convene the second
Monday in January.
Col. w. Cloud, of Peirce City, and
D. S. Mayhem, of Monett, are attor-
neys for the defendant and James
Potter for the prosecution. The newly
elected prosecuting attorney, Rex Nc
Pherson will officiate at the trial In
circuit court.
Those who heard the testimony at
the preliminary trial believe that the
young man will either be cleared or
receive a light sentence at the trial
in circuit court as there are number
of mitigating circumstances.
The trouble came up over some
Brewster stickers which had been
pasted on the windows of the Demo-
crat headquarters at Peirce City be-
fore election. Cecil George was ac-
cused of being the offender. R. H.
George, father of Cecil, and Mr.. Le-
Compte were good friends.
Mr.. LeCompte told Mr.. George that
Cecil had pasted up the stickers, and
that he wanted an apology. Mr..
George asked his son about the mat
ter and the young man stoutly denied
it.
Cecil was then advised to go to Mr.
Lecompte and explain. He then went
to Democrat headquarters and
motioned to Mr.. LeCompte to come
out. He told Mr.. Lecompte that he
did not put up the stickers. Mr.. Le-
Compile, who was very quick temper
ed, is said to have replied "You are a
liar" Witnesses testified that he
struck the first blow, which was re-
turned. The second time Cecil struck
him, Mr.. LeCompte stepped back,
lost his footing and fell backwards on
the concrete walk, striking his head in
such a way as to cause hemorrhage OF
the brain. Mr.. LeCompte died in St
Johns hospital in Springfield week
later.
The affair was witnessed by a
number of people. No weapons were
drawn, the two fighting with their
fists. Mr.. LeCompte's fall and sub
seouent death was in the nature OF an
accident.
1t was brought out at the prelimin-
ary that Cecil George is young man
OF. good reputation and that he is moi
Of quarrelsome disposition. The
death of Mr.. LeCompte was not con-
templated by him.

CRYING FOR HELP
Lots of 1t in Monett But Daily
Growing Less.


The kidneys often cry for help,
Not another organ in the whole
body more delicately constructed;
Not one more important to health.
The kidneys are the filters of the
blood.
When they fail the blood becomes
foul and poisonous.
There can be no health where there
is poisoned blood.
Backache is one Of the frequent in
dications of kidney trouble.
1t is often the kidneys cry for hell
Heed it.
Read what Doan's Kidney Pill:
have done for overworked kidneys.
Read what Doan's have done fol
Monet people.
Mrs. L. NJ. Davidson, sid Scot

Doan's kidney Pills are and wouldn't
be without them for anything. 1 hav,
