SCOTT,|N SHACKLES,
TAKEN TO ASYLUM
Broken Father Of Slain Boy
Pleads for Sons Clothes
to Get New Job.
RS th, Anociated press.

Bs the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August Sat about the
time today that Russell 7. Scott, his
fight to dodge the sallows won, was
leaving Chicago in the custody of
deputy sheriffs'fer the Chester Insane
Asylum, there appeared at the detec-
tive bureau an old work.worn man
whose interest in the Scott case was
next to that of Scott's family and
Scott himself. He was Jacob Maurer,
the aged father of Joseph Maurer, the
19year-old drug clerk for whose
murder in hold.up Scott was sen
fenced to hang, escaping the death
penalty twice by a margin of feW
hours and finally being found insane
since his conviction.
Bitter and unforgiving, the old man
recited q story of hardship and pri-
walton that has befallen his family
since his boys death in April, 1924.
and then sought to recover the cloth
ing worn by his boy the night he was
slain and which has been held by
the State for evidence against Scott.
Wanted to Wear Clothes.
You probably want them az keep
sakes?" some one suggested, but
Maurer shook his head.
Il want them he said, Ito wear
out OF work because I've devoted my
time to this case, and I've got to be
better dressed to get a new job
The old man explained that his
daughter is now the sole support of
his family. and that in addition to
being in poor health, he is unable TO
sleep.
Joey" he said, and his voice broke,
always used 10 wake me UP at II: 80
every night when he came home from
work, and now | can't help waking
up at that time and expecting to see
him"
Scott Heavily Shackfed.
Scott, heavily shackled, and in
charge of two deputy sheriffs, left
here for the asylum shortly after
noon. The commitment papers were
changed to read that in case he re-
gains his sanity he is to be returned
to the custody of the sheriff of Cook
County and the death sentence car
ried out.
"A last message for Chicago" he
shouted Al his train started to move.
Tell them I'm both sane and inno-
cent"
SCOTS father bade him farewell at
the train. He had said goodbye ear
lier to his mother and to Mrs Cath
crime Scott, his wife, who fought
dauntlessly for months to save his
life.
Scott and his guards travelled by
way of ST. Louis and expected to
reach the asylum about midnight

Health In Randolph Hills

holland, June 2.-Mrs. Ben Seamons
and this entire community are rejoic-
ing over the improvement in health of
her father, Mr.. Prather, who was
brought few months ago from Mis-
souri, where he had long been treated
for a wasting illness, operated ON and
given up as hopeless by attending ply
sicians.
Mr.. Prather can just barely remem-
ber being carried by strong arms into
his daughters home here, broken in
spirit and emaciated in body. Since
then his only treatment has been the
native herbs Of Noland's hills; deli
cacies carried to him by our fine cooks
and there are none finer; the cheer
ing words and kindly smiles of our
fair young girls-and there are none
fairer Now he can walk two miles
and can do some light work.
He insists that our good people just
wouldn't let him die. We are proud
of our community and it's spirit Of
hopefulness and helpfulness.

Old Friends Meet

Ferd Sorg, Sr., a good farmer liv-
ing just south of town, was in this
office Tuesday morning and made the
editor acquainted with his old friend,
Mr.. Leopold Bauer, Of Hot Springs.
Mr.. Sorg and Mr.. Bauer came to
America together 43 years ago from
Southern Germany, where they had
attended the same school and church
in small village near Lake Constance,
in Baden. They settled in Minnesota
but three years later Mr.. SOrg came
to this section and a separation of the
friends has existed for the past forty
years. They had met only once dur
ing the forty years, that was for a
short time in Hot Springs seven years
ago. They completely lost track of
each other once for 20 years but were
reunited by sister of Mr.. SOrg, who
lives in Illinois. Mr.. Bauer has made
several trips to the Old Country since
coming to America, with the intention
of remaining in his native land but, as
he expresses it, Things over there
are too slow, so small and insignificant
after having lived in America" His
last trip to Germany was made in
1911.
Mr.. Bauer has been in POcahontas
four weeks and is preparing to return
to his home in Hot Springs Friday.
From there he will go to Houston,
Tex, for a visit with his son.

maids and smartly dressed chaps who
hdget nervously while the well known
citizen addresses them from the plat
form of the church auditorium or high
school rostrum; the Academy pupils
who have completed their courses and
are looking to the future; and in other
towns and states the sedate college
graduates in black caps and gowns,
who listened while learned men dis
coursed ON weighty subjects; from all
these to the more mature men and
women who stand with definite ac-
complishments already ON their record
and receive the higher degrees and
honorary awards from chosen institu-
tions. A mighty host in whose hands
lies Americas hope and in measure,
the future destiny of the world
Platitudes without number are be-
ing given these graduates, countless
precepts are being quoted, heroic and
worthy examples are being held up
TO them for emulation; and the gates
of oratory are being opened wide to
admit the food of eloquence that de-
luges the country upon the occasion of
the annual closing of school sessions,
These do great good and often strike
responsive chords among the listen
ers. However, no matter what rank,
or from what grade of institution,
every graduating group is divided
roughly into two classes-thOse for
whom the occasion is really the begin
ming of new life, and those for whom
IL is not commencement but a Con
summation
From the latter, will come that self
satisfied type of person, proud of his
own little achievements, smugly COM
placent and pursuing his own ends
with avidity. He is contented with
the present and does not worry about
the future and gives little thought to
others. To some of these, their birth
might be said to have been the con-
summation, for when they shake off
this mortal coil, despite their academic
equipment, they will have made little
progress since their first advent into
this world and passed on no lasting
contribution by which their friends
might proudly or gratefully remember
them. Those in the grades who belong
TO this group will go no further but
will make up that class of workers
who plod through life. This type in
high school thinks that his secondary
school education is all-sufficient and
will launch out on what may be a
career of little service. That same
type among graduates of higher IN
stitutions will become either just an

Urges Johnston Reunion

In letter to c. G. Johnston of this
city, his brother, Rev. S. L. Johnston
or Morley, Mo-, suggests that re-
union of members and descendants Of
the Johnston family be held some time
this summer or fall. Bro. Johnston
states that he is sure that his children
and friends of the family at Middle
brook will be glad to entertain them.
Bro. Johnston REPORTS himself in
good health and gaining weight. He
also reports that the sand storm sever
al days ago killed lots of cotton in that
community.
The letter was written in commemor-
alton of the 10th birthday of Uncle
Charlie.

Big Day AT Maynard

The graveyard cleaning and dinner

1t must have taken a lot to feed
that crowd, but the food was there in
plenty and to spare. If one was not

ordinary citizen wasting his cduca-
tional sustenance, or one Of those OBJ
noxious college graduates whose
vulgar display Of learning reflects lit
tie credit upon his Alma Mater.
The first group is the hope of hui
manity. II is they who, in the lower
institutions, consider that particular
graduation" but a steppng-stone to
greater heights, but a mile i'm the long
path to complete mastery of a subject
or an idea. 1t is they who have mi
tiative, courage to overcome obstacles,
zeal for whatever cause or ideal they
hold dear, and who will become the
leaders in their respective walks of
life. To them every graduation" will
be but a commencement" and every
honor or achievement but a signal to
render yet further service or seek new
worlds to conquer. True it is that
some Of this class will become those
that the great dramatist had in mind
when he wrote of 'vaulting ambition
which o'erleaps ITSELF" but even in
their excesses, these often do great
good.
About eight years ago this writer
completed his work in the Pocahontas
High School and, because of the World
War, considered that his school days
were at an end. 1t is his earnest con-
viction, however, that if he had been
more deeply imbued with a desire for
higher education it could, by some
means, have been obtained. And there
is not a day that passes that he does
not feel the ignominy of a lack of
learning.
Let our 1925 graduates pause and
contemplate whether graduation" is
going to be in fact "consummation"
or is to be really commencement ~
