the week a period for, revival of in.
terest in the broad work Of national

Serious Accident In Higginsville
The festivities in Higginsville
Tuesday were marred with a
serious accident during the
sham battle. Sam Terrill and
Watson Johns were severely
burned when the too rapid fir
ing of an old cannon from Went
worth Military Academy, caused
"a premature blast of charge
Of powder. The gun was not
swabbed after the previous shot
and when the sack Of powder
was inserted it exploded before
the breech could be closed. The
injured were taken to a hospital
in Kansas City. Both young
men saw service over seas.

THE FOURTH IN
LEXINGTON
A Beautiful Day Spent in a
Quiet Way.

July 4th, 1922, passed with
out any shocking incidents in
Lexington. Hundreds went from
here to Higginsville and enjoy
ed the many events there.
Others went picknicking and
had their own little celebration.
The boom of "American Salut-
,es" and the popping Of crackers
was heard all day, and the small
boys and girls had their fill.
The golf links of the country
club were dotted all day with
Knights of the stick. A
tournament was in progress
and every golf fan of the
club was bent on putting
his name ON the cup. Some very
good scores were made, as well
as some very poor ones, The
fireworks had to be kept cover
ed with wet canvass to prevent a
premature celebration. Sulphur
Gus flashes were constantly i'm
minent from the hazards and
hollows. But it was the steady
hand and the sure stroke Of j,
c. Young that made possible the
score of %, and the champion
ship of the day.
The evening dinner hour found
the club house filled with mem.
bers and their guests. Eighty
five were served with friec
chicken and other viands allur.
ing to the taste.
About 8 o'clock the crowd be.
gan to arrive to witness the dis.
play of fireworks. At this time
all ages blended into youth-al
were boys and girls-and thu
display was sufficient to pleas,
.all.
After the fireworks had beer
disposed of the crowd gathered
on the spacious porch or indulg
ed in dancing in the main hall
The renowned Percy Graingel
was at the piano for time, ant
after his departure the phOno
graph was pushed before tn,
fireplace and the dancing con
tinued until a late hour.
All in all the day was a deligh
J to both old and young. Thl
weather man was on his goo,
behavior and everyone entereC
into a genuine care-free rejoic
ing on the 146th anniversary o
the Declaration of Indepen
dence.

FIVE PRISONERS
BREAK JAIL
With No Prospect of An Early
Trial They Saw Their Way
Ont


Five prisoners in the county
Jail sawed their way out Friday
morning about 2:3O o'clock and
departed for parts unknown.
The number includes John Shi-
las, charged with gambling !;
Robert Collins, charged with
theft Of a motor car; Grover
Rossen, charged with robbery; !;
Amos Viles, charged with theft
of motor car and breaking jail,
and Walter Nugen, charged with
assault, change of venue from
Saline County. VIM. Martin, a.
waiting trial for bootlegging,
and occupying the same cell, re-
fused to go.
One of these prisoners, Robert
Collins, has been in Jail since
the oath of May, 1921, and had
never had a trial. He was par
ticularly anxious for a trial and
when the court adjourned last
week, he was very much disap-
pointed. 1t would seem that
when one lands in the Lafay
cite County Jail, without plenty
of money at his command, the
only way to get out is to saw
out. "a speedy trial by jury
guaranteed by the constitution,
is dead letter in Lafayette
county.
There are seventeen prisoners
left in the Jail, among which is
Buster Jarrett, charged with
robbing the Odessa bank. This
is the second jail delivery since
he became a prisoner that HI
has not participated in, and hi
has been there almost two years
! Whether it is from his own in
clination or whether he is KEEP
"safe," we do not know. His
first trial resulted in a huns
jury. Other prisoners have new
er had a hearing. All of which
contributes to the high cost ot
taxes.
Nugen, who was brought here
from Saline County, was KEEP
from getting away in a jail de
livery at Marshall on account
of having a peg leg. This tim'
he not only overcome this handi
capp, but took his wife and ba
by who had been boarding here
with him.
All in all it seems like a gooC
riddance, but-what's the use
some day maybe the tax payers
will get wise to all of this waste
fulness and hold a court of theil
own.
