A Very Bad Corner
At the cross roads near the home

very dangerous place for the passing
of automobiles, a collision occurred
last week between Will Holke and
another man, which resulted in some
damage to both-; cars. They were
both driving along unconscious of
another car, until they were about
eight feet apart and then it was too
late to avoid the crash. This is a
very dangerous corner and should be
looked after and made safe for the
traveler. Some time ago another
accident occurred on this same cor
ner. Slight Blaze Causes Excitement
Some excitement was sprung on

A. Brunkow, giving the alarm. Mp,
Brunkow immediately called over the
l line and in a short time the whole
neighborhood was soon at the scene
of the fire and by well directed ef
: forts the fire, which was still con

! while there was little damage done,
the chances were that the house and

HE MEANS BUSINESS
The following notice is posted on
certain farm in Tennessee:
"NOTIS: Tresspassers will be
persecuted to the full extent of
two mongrel dogs which was
never very soshible to a strang
er & one double brl. shotgun
which ain't loaded with" sofy
pillers. Darn if I ain't gettin'
tired of this hell raisin' on my
place."
"WHAT
ABE THE
WILD WAVES SAYING."
From Thursday's Dally
If the usually placid Missouri
river assumed a rough aspect today
there was a reason as the river has
received a real "bracer" in the
array of alcohol and booze of various
varieties that was poured into the
sewer this morning by Sheriff E. P.
Stewart and his assistants, and
which will trickle down into the old
Missouri and thence on to the Gulf
of Mexico.
The scene was more pathetic than
the "face on the bar room floor"
as the sheriff, deputy sheriff, county
attorney and Constable Tom Svobo
da, dragged out the array of liquor
from the vault in the office of the
county attorney, and taking it to the
corner of Fourth and Main streets.
poured it into the sewer while the
white light of public destruction
beamed upon them. Justice William
Weber who had presided in
the cases was present and murmered
the blessing on the flowing beverage
as it was poured forth. A number of
the spectators, of whom there were
quite a number, were really envying
the fish that will enjoy a little of
the drink that cheers.
This is the second time that Sher
iff Stewart has conducted public
destruction of the confiscated liquor
and cleans up the supply that is on
hand in the office of the county at
torney.
