RAILROAD EMPLOYEE BEAT


Friday night as Willis Davis,
who has charge Of the engine
used in pulling the j Interstate
train from the time it arrives in
Butler until midnight, was doing
some work near the engine he
heard a noise which he thought
came from the cab. He went to
the. engine and started to climb
in the cab when imam appeared
and commanded him to hold up
his hands, but before complying
he had seen two other men in
the cab apparently working on
the mechanism of the engine. He
dropped back on the ground and
attempted to make his escape,
but he was Immediately attacked
by the man who had first ac-.
costed him and knocked to the.
ground. The two men from the
cab of the engine came to the as
sistance of their pal and Mr..
Davis was given a severe beat
ing. He was then turned loose
and his assailants ordered him to
go home, but not to go near the
depot but to detour through
pasture. He disobeyed instruc-
tions and came up town and
called the operator at the depot
and reported what had occurred.
He was then taken to the office
Of a physician where his wounds
were dressed. While his injuries
are not serious, it will be several
days before he is able to resume
his duties.
The railroad men are of the
opinion that the men attacking
Mr.. Davis were railroad or mine
strikers more likely the latter,
as, the union coal miners Of Kan
sas are pretty sore at the Mis-
souri, Pacific for hauling coal
from non-nnion mines and it Is

Several Charged With
Making Moonshine
Whisky.

| Thursday afternoon two Off
GERS from the Kansas City office
of the United States prohibition
enforcement officer, one of whom
was M. G. Wilcox, formerly of
this city, ande Marshal Braden,
went to the home of man
named Woodall "a few miles
northeast of Rich Hill and placed
him under arrest charged with
making whisky contrary to law.
The officers found on the prem
Iises four barrels of mash and
some whisky which was confis-
Gated and held as evidence.
Woodall was not at home when
the officers called and Marshal
Braden was left at the house
while the United States officers
searched the premises. Soon
Woodall appeared and was
placed under arrest by the Mar
shal. The mash was found in
barrels near the river and the
whisky near the house. While
the officers were there three car
loads of men presumably Gus
toners of Woodall, appeared at
the house but did not tarry long.
Thursday morning the officers
accompanied by Sheriff Petty,
continued their hunt, this time
south Of Rich Hill in Vernon
county. AT a place about three
miles southeast Of Panama a
complete still, four barrels of
mash and considerable whisky
was found but no arrests made
as there was no evidence show
ing who owned the still or who
operated it.

Notes

Ellis, the old veteran, had a
good day at the bat, getting two
hits out of three times at bat.
He also got credit for a stolen
base.
The Butler boys ran the bases
wild on Craig, the Rich Hill
catcher.
The umpiring was satisfactory
and there was no wrangling over
decisions The managers Of the
two teams will find that this will
result in increased gate receipts
if continued in the remaining
games.

jefferson City folks have been
raising considerable of row
because the cross state primary
road from Kansas City to st.
Louis will not pass through that
town, according to the plans OF
the engineers, claiming that the
road should pass through the
capital of the state. An eX-
change suggests that. it would be
cheaper and better to move JEFF
ferson City, or at least the capi-
tai, to a point on the road recon-
mended by the engineers.
