BY FIRE

The Cleaves printing establish
ment, in Elkton, which was run in
connection with the Victory Fire
works Company, located near that
town, was totally destroyed by fire
of unknown origin about ten O'Clock
Sunday morning.
The plant was finely equipped
with machinery for color and other
high grade work, and some new
machinery that had just been feceiv-
ed but had not been installed was
also destroyed. 1t is reported that
a quantity of fireworks material was
also stored in the building. The

companies to it's assistance to pre-
vent the spread of the flames. The
Rising Sun company started with one
of their engines, but was stopped
and turned back, with the infor-
nation that the balze was under
control

The opening games of the second
half of the League schedule were
played Saturday afternoon. The
Elkton team was the attraction at
the local grounds and Rising Sun
won. This is quite notable event,
as Elkton has been beating our boys
with such regularity that we had
almost given up hope.
Old Jupiter Pluvius took hand,
coming along in the seventh inning
and breaking up the game. Two
new men were in the local lineup,
Kolseth, who was with the team for
a time once before, and Curtis.
Both did good work in the field and
a timely two-bagger by the former

Ragan was also timely with the bat,
and had two singles to his credit.
Foster pitched good ball, Elkton
getting but one run over. The

NEAR CYCLONE

The storm of Saturday afternoon,
that swept over this section between
four and five O'Clock, assumed
cyclonic proportions in the Sylmar
section, where much damage was
done.
On the farm of William Boyle a
silo was blown down and completely
wrecked by the wind. On the farm
of Harvey Townsend the silo was
moved on its foundation by the force
of the wind, but was not greatly
damaged.
Trees were uprooted, wheat in
shock scattered about and much
other damage of more or less
serious nature done throughout that
section, where the storm appears to
have been the heaviest.

CHURCH STRUCK BY
LIGHTNING

During the electrical storm of
Saturday evening, about 8 O'Clock.
lightning struck the Presbyterian
church at Zion and telephone call
was sent to Rising Sun for the fire
engine, as the church was thought
to be on fire. The chemical truck
was sent in hurry, but the services
of the firemen were not needed.
Lightning struck the front part
of building, shattering several win
dows and setting fire to the vines
that cover the walls. This did not
make very good tinder and the blaze
soon died out. The damage done,
other than breaking several panes of
glass in the front windows, was
tritiing.

DEADLY PISTOL DUEL
One Man Shot To Death Other
Seriously Injured

| Cephus B. Dalton and Price Wade
"shot each other up" on Sunday
night, about ten o'clock, with the
result that the former is dead, shot
clear through the body, and the
latter in Union Hospital, Elkton with
a serious wound in the left arm.
There are many conflicting stories
concerning the shooting, which oc-
Cured in front of road house
between Porters Bridge and Oak
wood, kept by Mrs. May Guthrie.
The alteration appears to have
arisen over Wade's wife.
From the testimony of eye wit
nesses both men drew their revol-
vers and fired at practically the
same time. Dalton was shot in the
right breast, the bullet passing
entirely through his body. He got
into the automobile of A. B. Under
wood, where he died while being
taken to his home, death being
due to internal hemorrhage.
Wade was shot in the left arm,
his gun arm," sbeing left handed.
The bullet entered at the elbow and
came out at the shoulder. He was
taken to the hospital by some of his
friends, and was lin serious condi-
ton from the loss of blood.
Sheriff Pierson, of Elkton, was
summoned to the scene and made
nj m hnr nf stct N1 f10
parties as witnesses for the inquest
held at Elkton Tuesday night by
Coroner Green.
States Attorney Joshua Clayton
conducted the examination of wit
nesses.
DR.. r. c. Dodson and Dr. Vernon
Mcknight, who had held an autopsy
over the body of Cephus B. Dalton,
testified as to the nature of the
wound that caused death.
Witnesses questioned by the
States Attorney were: A. B. Under
wood, who drove the car in which
Dalton died; Sampson Ayers, Will
liam Underwood, Thomas Burnett,
Webb Sutphen, Henry Underwood,
Horace Stanley, John Dalton and
Mrs. Lula May Wade.
1t was surprising how little some
of the witnesses knew, despite the
fact that they were all on the scene
None knew of any i'll feeling between
the men, and denied all knowledge
of bootlegger feud, when the
States Attorney attempted to ques-
tion along these lines.
The hearing lasted for more than
two hours and when the jury was
finally given the case it was near
the midnight hour when they re-
turned verdictn to the effect that
Cephus B. Dalton came to his death
by gunshot wound at, the hands of
Price Wade.
Both principals and all the wit
nesses are Virginians, some of them
not having lived in this section long.
Cephus B. Dalton a few months
ago purchased the j. M. Sterrett
farm, near Rock Springs. He
leaves a wife and three small
children. His body was taken to
his former home in Virginia for
burial.

seven and eight O'Clock, put the
electric current out of commission,
causing a general tieup of business.
Our merchants are much distressed
over the frequency with which the
lights fail them. Almost every
storm that occurs appears to de-
moralize the electric service, causing
much inconvenience and loss to
business. So frequently has this oc-

The convention was over. The
speeches were all made tho rneo',-

adopted, the slogan for the next year

its hilarity and good fellowship was
history and the business men who
had sat for two days in the idealistic
atmosphere were starting for home
Somewhere between the convention
hall and the hotel at least one dele
gat had taken off his badge and
tossed it into the gutter. There it
lay, with it's bit of ribbon lettered III
gold, slowly settling down into the
mud and filth.
For one delegate, certainly, the
convention was over and done. He
was going back home.
Back to the old sharp practices.
Back to the same mad scramble for
business. Back to the old cut throat,
cold blooded attitudes.
For two days he had voted for high
sounding resolutions, listened to high
ly ethical speeches and basked in the
sunshine of idealism. But now ne
was going back to face facts again,
he must be practical" That badge
and his business back home would
not harmonic. The badge must be
discarded.
But it was not hypocrisy.
Translating fine principles into bus
mess practice is a difficult matter
Competitive conditions do not encour-
age highly ethical business methods.
The whole pull of the struggle is
away from idealism. That is what
makes modern business seem like
war.
Few men are able to maintain their
mountain top experiences" when
they are down in the valley of actual
working conditions. Yet who would
do without these moments of glori-
fled living? It is better to have held
up an ideal and then failed to meas
ure up to it, than never to have
dreamed Of better world.
The badge may lie, now, in the
gutter, but the badge-wearer can nev-
err quite forget the thrills that came
to him while he was wearing that
badge nor the secret resolves he
made while that little patch of color
was pinned on his lapel. He will
find those memories coming back from
day to day, and perhaps unconscious
ly, slowly but surely raising the
standards of his business.

BUSINESS CODE

Fred Anderson, miracle merchant
of Cozard, Nebraska, is credited with
doing more business per capita than
any other known business institution.
Last year his business ran consider
ably over a quarter million dollars.
How does he do it, how does he
turn his stock three and one-half
times each season, in village of 1900
people, in a county which barely
boasts 5000 inhabitants?
Here is Fred Anderson's code for
the merchant.
Your face is the mirror of your
soul. Keep it trimmed with sunshine
and radiance. Your store window is
the mirror Of your store. Keep it
trimmed-tied up with your adver-
Using.
Good will is more than spoken
word. 1t implies the Golden Rule
theme of business. Get it and keep
it.
Be part of your community, ener-
getic in it's activities.
Boost your competitors. Perhaps
some day they'll become customers.
Talk to folks in your advertising,
not at them, advertising, not only
your store, but every local associa-
