Mob Swung Susect l"p Three Times, Hut letter Turned Hint ami Other Prisoners llatk to Sheriff. Springfield. Mo.. June 9. Baby Joyd Keet was found dead today. The child had been drowned in a fell on an abandoned farm at least "our days ago, according to the find ngs from an autopsy, when the band f kidnapers who took hint from his lome Wednesday night of last week, eared capture. Tonight, scores of Springfield men n automobiles were hurrying in pur uit of the county sheriff's automobile n which seven persons suspected of omplicity in the kidnaping and niur ler, were being sped to the State rlson at Jefferson City. Openly the mrsuers have declared their inten- ion of taking summary vengeance lpon the perpetrators of the crime. The body of the fourteen-months-ld child was found shortly before uon today by a sheriff's posse which tad gone to a "haunted" house long ince abandoned in the Ozark moun alns, eight miles from here. ' In ome way not explained, the sheriff ras told last night that trace of the hild could be found on the farm. Straightway he left Springfield with leputies and the long search began tefore midday. At noon they thought of the well. V deputy was lowered into the open ng while others held him by his eet. And there was found the body )f "Buddie" Keet, wrapped in the link blanket which was upon his bed he night he was stolen. A woman's ikirt, too, of black silk substance, vas wrapped around the body and ?as the only evidence left by those vho threw the baby into the water. J. Holland Keet .the wealthy fath r, was given but one opportunity to ansom his son. Then the elements, ind possibly his friends, combined to lefeat the rescue. Shortly after the ddnaplng, Mr. Keet received fin inonymous letter directing him to )roceed by automobile along through i certain country district, the coming light. When he observed a lighted antern by the roadside, the letter lirected. he was to drive on for a nile, return and exchange $6,000 for .he child. ; But that night a tornado descend ed upon the country, roads were nil but impassable, and rain fell In tor ents. Nevertheless, the anxious fath er started his journey, followed by 'riends in other automobiles, and though he drove until dawn, he did hot receive the signal. From day to day the search for Lloyd grew more minute. The coun ty authorities bent every energy In ;helr effort to catch the kidnapers. Seven persons were arrested charged fflth conspiracy to kidnap other per 10ns, but not one was definitely ?hnrged with taking "Buddie" Keet. Today Federal agents Joined in the Search, though Just why has not been learned. ! This city Is aroused tonight as it has not been for many years. As a iresult, authorities were taking every precaution to prevent violence, and Jsffoits were being made to calm the browds that gathered everywhere Ulong the streets, discussing nothing iother than the tragedy. No secret was made of the crowd's feeling, and threats of lynching were heard openly. Mrs. Keet. the baby's mother, was on the verge of a complete break down tonight, according to physicians attending her bed. The father, too, was grief stricken. Mr. Keet repeat edly had offered to pay any ransom 'sum demanded, and promised at one time that he would not press the lnncnniitinn if thp hnhv nhnuld he re turned to him. Consequently, the only reason apparent to officials for the murder of the baby was that searching parties at one time had been so close to the kidnapers that It became necessary for them to seek safety In flight and had killed the lit tle fellow. Late reports were that the sheriff and his prisoners had passed through ;;uinanville, forty-five miles north west of here, the pursuers having been shaken off, and were apparently heading for Clinton. There, it was supposed, train con nection would be obtained at mid night for Jefferson City. Springfield tonight was a city in which any event uality seemed a possibility. The may or ordered the saloons closed when It became cpparent that the city had not nuleted down after the stirring events of the day. All street cars were ordered to remain In the barns and a company of the Second Mis souri Infantry stationed here was held at the arsenal ready to answer any call. Springfield, Mo., June 10. A mob of Springfield citizens, bent on aveng ing the murder of fourteen-months-m t.invd Keet. enrlv today forced Sheriff Weeb to give up six suspects, swung one or them to a tree tor rcme tst.ia in nn unsuccessful attempt to obtain a confession, and later return ed them to the sheriff's custody un-h-irmnd. accordlnir to renort3 reach ing the sheriff's office here.

With a rope around his neck, ac cording to reports rrom the sheriff's office, Piersol was led to a tree and given an opportunity to confess. He denied his guilt and was swung up rrom the ground and suspended until he was black in the face. Then his captors lowered him and offered him a chance for his life. Piersol insisted not only on his own innocense. but declared that the four men and one woman under arrest were unjustly accused. The mob pulled the rope again, telling Piersol he must die, but he remained silent. Sheriff Webb then made another plea with the mob not to hang an innocent man, and the prisoners were turned over to him. The mob dispersed. Sheriff Webb was thought tonight to have four of his prisoners, including Mrs. Taylor Adams, the woman member of the alleged band, in Jail in Stockton. The two other prisoners, Piersol and Tay lor Adams, the woman's husband, were believed to be on the road north ward under guard of the sheriff to ward a railroad line that would pro vide transportation to Jefferson City. Earthquake Wipe San Salvador Off the Map. San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua, June 8. San Salvador, the capitol of the republic of Salvador, with a popula lation of more than 60,000, has been totally destroyed, according to a dis patch from San Miguel, Salvador. No (Vetails as to the manner In which the city was destroyed have been re ceived but It undoubtedly was the result of an earthquake or volcanic eruption. San Salvador Is about three miles southeast of the volcano of San Sal vador, and is the seat of govern ment of the smallest but most dense ly populated or the republics of Cen tral America. First record of an earthquake there was in 1873, when the entire city was nearly leveled and 50 persons perish ed. The city, which was founded about 1525. is located about 120 miles southeast of the town of Guatemala, and is on a email stream which flows into the Pacific ocean. The city is connected by rail with Acajutla and La Llbertad and con tains a large university, the national palace, the national library and as tronomical observatory and a botani cal garden. It has a large agricul tural trade. The country of San Salvador Itself consists mainly of a plateau about 2,000 feet above the sea, broken by a large number of volcanic cones. Its population Is 1,133,000, and the most recent census places the number of Inhabitants in the capital at 64,000. Those Wlm Failed to Holster Will He Prosecuted. Washington, June 11. The period of leniency ended tonight for men be tween the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one, Inclusive, who failed to register for the war army last Tues day. Provost Marshal General Crowder sent to the governors of all the states a message asking them "to inaugu rate rrom tomorrow a vigorous, ag gressive and effective enforcement or the penal law clause or the selective service law against all who have by their failure to register brought themselves under those provisions." The penalty for failure to register on June 5 Is Imprisonment for a year and enforced registration, but Gener al Crowder, immediately after regis tration day, recommended that local boards provide further opportunity for delinquents. The department of Justice today notified United States attorneys to release those already ar rested ror railure to register, provid ed they have now registered. General Crowder has almost com pleted a drart or registrations to gov ern exemptions and exemption boards, and expects to lay it berore Secretary Baker in a rew days Tor ap proval. The general believes no class should be exempted as such, but that local boards should decide on the circumstances in each indi vidual case.

The demand of the revolutionaries for the trial and condign punishment of Nicholas Romanoff, the rormer emperor, and, in the meantime, his subjection to restraint la prison, which at first was made by a hand ful of Irresponsible extremists.

What I think of the Ellen Fitierall Hospital. (By II. Y. Scott. Secretary or the Chamber or Commerce.) As Secretary or the Chamber or Commerce and having the interest or Monroe and her people at heart, I feel that I should do all in my pow er to boost and make the proposed hospital a reality. That we need a hospital is a fact that cannot be disputed. We need a place to care for cur sick rar more than we do factories and stores, for they only help a few, when a modern and well equipped hospital helps each and everyone of us. In my opinion there can be no valid reason for our city not to have in the very near future a hospital that we will all be proud of. Other cities not as large or half as pro gressive as Monroe now have hospi tals where their loved ones can be taken and restored to health. A good hospital has never failed to be a success from the start and for that reason no one should think or say that a hospital in Monroe will be a failure. Several of our best citizens have asked me how can a hospital here be a success without a first class sur geon to do the operating. That ques tion Is very eaily answered. If we show the outside world that we have an up-to-date hospital there will be first class surgeons who will want to locate here. In fact, the writer knows of a well-known surgeon now who can be gotten ir tne hospital is built. Hospitals cannot be built with talK, and the writer appreciates fully that the strtet work and other permanent improvements have cost the citizens thousands of dollars this - year. But don't let that put a damper on the hospital. Forget what the streets have cost you, and when the gentle men who are to solicite runds call on you next Monday, June 18, give all you can and make the hos pital an assured fact. Monroe is one or the coming cities of North Carolina, but we cannot expect to keep up with other cities unless we have something to offer the stranger who wants to be one of us. I have been asked on several oc casions by strangers who had in mind locating here ir we had a hos pital, and when I informed them to the contrary they advised me that they would locate where there was a hospital. ir you have the Interest or Mon roe at heart, boost ror the hospital and help out not only financially but morally; work on your friends who you think should make a donation, but who, perhaps wont; tell them it would be a crying shame and a dis grace to Monroe not to take advant age or the magnificent site donated by one or God's noble women. Now Is the time to build the hospital and ir we don't, the opportunity Is lost and the present generation will con tinue as they have In the past to help keep up the hospitals in other cities. British Troops Give Germans No Rest While the cannon are roaring along the greater portion or the front in Belgium from the region of the North Sea to the French border, probably preliminary to infantry at tacks by the French and Belgians, the British troops In the Messines region are giving the Germans no rest. Not satisfied with the capture of the famous Messines ridge last week, Field Marshal Haig's men continue here and there to dig further Into the territory held by the Germans. Sun day night and Monday again witness ed thrusts by the British south and southeast of Messines, in both of which appreciable gains were made, especially In the neighborhood of La Polerie farm. Early Monday morning in this re gion, a trench system over a front of about a mile was captured and later In the day the gain was considerably enlorged, bringing the British front to within a short distance of Warne ton, the capture of which would give them domination of the road leading eastward about three miles to the Imporant town of Comlnes. The day's operations added to the number of prisoners taken by the British and also gave them seven more German field guns. Airmen Were Close After EniM'ror London. June 9. Emperor Wil liam was with Field Marshal von Hlndenburg, Prince Eitel Frederich. and other members fo the German Emperor's staff inside the St. Peter's station at Ghent, Belgium, when It was bombarded by Entente allied air men the other day, according to a dis patch t0 Exchange Telegraph com pany, rrom a Dutch rrontier corres pondent. The Emperor's party was unhurt, but three army officers near by were killed. Some Legal Not lee. The Lenoir News prints a legal notice, the Central Trust Company, of Illinois, against the Grandin Lumber Company, which makes 78 columns In small type type called six-point It takes 11 pages of a seven column paper to carry it. The case Is In th Federal Court in this State. That I the longest single legal notice we have ever seen, if we remember cor rectlv. Think of It! Eleven pages the size of this paper small type and one column over. If legal ad vertising paid In North Carolina what It pays In many states the Lenoir News man could take up all the Liberty Bonds after he gets his money fer this one Job. Greensboro Record. A tight man and a loose dog are equally dangerous. Marshtille Gleanings. Correspondence or The Journal. Marshville. June 11. Dr. E. Stokes Hamilton arrived home Fri day from Atlanta, Ca., where he graduated at the Southern Dental College. Dr. Hamilton volunteered, passed all required examinations and has been accepted as dental surgeon, which ranks as first lieutenant, in the Reserve Army Corps, but as yet has not been appointed. Messrs. Clay Newsome and Tom McBride returned to Philadelphia today to resume their studies at a pharmaceutical school at that place. Mr. Newsome passed the state board examination while tt home, which fact, considering his youth, speaks well tor his application and industry. Mr. Beemer Harrell Is at home rrom Chapel Hill, having graduated in the class or 1917. Mr. Harrill has been elected and has accepted the position or principal of the Shelby graded schools at Shelby. Mr. Har rill is a worthy young man and we wish him success ns a professor. Mr. Fred Bradt or Acme, N C. spent Saturday with friends in town on his way to Brooklyn. N. Y., to en list and enter training for electro radio operator in the United States navy. The position requires eight months of special preparation in a training school. Mrs. J. E. Bailey and Miss Lurlyne Bailey visited friends in Charlotte and Monroe last week. Miss Velma Lathan of Monroe is visiting her cousin, Miss Annie Lee Plyler. From all signs business depressions must be relieved, prospects brighter, as we noted in the usual Sunday af ternoon merry-go-round our popular banker, Mr. P. P. W. Plyler, in a flive passenger touring car he recent ly purchased. We were thankful for the rain Saturday night as the dust in' our little town is properly appreciated after a good shower. Mr. J. B. Little and family of Rockingham are visiting Mrs. Little's father, Mr. Marshall F. Phifer. The Hlue Devils. (Charity and Children.) "Knock off the blue devils when they come moping around!" is the sage advice that Colonel Beasley of The Monroe Journal gives to his readers. It 13 sound philosophy. There Is plenty to make us blue, the Lord knows. Our country Is involved In a foreign war that will take large toll of both American money and American men. We had nothing to do with bringing it on. We did not de sire to become entangled in the hor rible and senseless struggle, but an Irresistible current bore us along, and against our will, carried us right in the midst of the ruddy stream. The future is dark. Everybody Is strain ing his eyes for light but not the faintest glimmer has appeared. We are plunging head long Into we know not what. Our boys are subject to conscription. They may next year be facing German cannon on the border of France! But while all these things may be true, we must not yield to the dark foreboding that presses upon us. Some of us have never felt like shout ing over the deplorable situation. We have never enjoyed the luxury of the patriotic thrill. But we must not give way to the depressing in fluences that sourround us. That would only be adding to the burden we are bearing. The "blue devils" always weaken us. They are evil and evil only, and many a good man has allowed them to rob him of his strength and hope. There is a blighter side to the picture. No mat ter what this or that prophet of evil foretells about the duration of this horrible war we believe it is nearing its end, and we are going to continue to so believe until we are absolutely convinced to the contrary. Our for eign visitors curtained our country in gloom and shut off every ray of sunlight; but they do not know it all, and besides they need money and need it badly. We have heard of oth er men who told gloomy stories when it was profitable. Where is our faith? Is religion worthless In war times Christian people are now being tried. A "blue" Christian is a poor repre sentative of the Christ. What Is that well of water within springing up into everlasting life forif It does not briim refreshment when all other spring! are dry? Let us look for warl toward the hills whence enmeth our help, and let our preachers bring to on Sunday morning messages of pore after a week of turbulence and rtrife. Keep the church free of flaps and war sermons. For the sake of ail that is good do not tell us about the Can and carnage of war on the Subb.uh day. If preachers feel call ed to make patriotic speeches, let them do so during the week. On Sundi'y let the aihlng hearts be soo'hi'd by the sweet tones of the Gospel. Thi:-. will help to drive the "blue devils" away. Utah lSoetid For Expenditure.

THE EGG "FLIPPED" AI L EIGHT, HI T NOT IX THE MILK IKil.rH Slatted to .Make a Drink, Hut Ia- the Chiekeii Hatch Hiy Battle W ith a Snake. Correspondence of The Journal. Wingate, June 12. The services at Meadow Branch were well attend ed Saturday and Sunday. Just want more there on Saturday when the roll is called. Miss Mattie Caddy, who teaches music in the Chesterfield hii;h school, is home ror a few days. Sh will soon return and and take up her work again. She teaches the entire year. Mrs. Perry or Chcsterfied is visit ing relatives and friends in Wingate. Dr. Ray Griffin, who is now one of the physicians at the Morganlon hospital, is visiting home folks for a few days. He is the son of our townsman. Mr. W. P. Griffin. Mr. Mark Griffin graduated at the Jefferson medicol college of Phila delphia a few days since and is home waiting an opportunity to stand the State examination so that he may get his license. He is going to practico in the State hospital at Morganton. Mr. Vann Griffin of En in. Tenn. is visiting home folks in Wingate. Ha is also a son of Mr. W. P. Griffin. Clegg Griffin had quite an ex perience with a monster snake the other day. He found it in an out house in an old paper box. When he advanced upon the old fellow, lie de cided that he could whip Clegg, so a little battle ensued. Had it not been for a good hoe and the assis tance of his mother, Clegg might have had considerable trouble. But he won out and killed the snake. It measured six feet from tip to tip. Mr. Spurgeon Black has gone to Badin to work this summer. He has a position in the store building where, supplies for the plant are kept. Miss Ruth Black spent the week end with Miss Mary Marsh of Marsh ville. Mr, John W. Bivens lias not been so well lately, but is s;me bi tter now. He was not able to attend Sunday school last Sunday. He is missed so much when he is away. Ha has been superintendent fur more than twenty years, fo when he misses it makes a gap. We went to Concord yesterday to attend the funeral of Mr. a. L. Howell, who committed suicide in the asylum at Morganton last Sunday. He was one of the best men we ever knew. His mind went wrong a few months ago and he had to be sent to the State hospital for treatment While there he committed the crime we mentioned. He would not have done it for anything had his mind not been off. He was a brother to Mrs. Gordon of the Oak Grove community. Some days ago Herbert Sullivpn stepped into the drug store to get a cold drink, and decided that he would make an egg flip, so he went over to J. L. Austin's store to get a fresh egg, as he supposed. When he. brought the egg Into the drug store, he heard a chick peeping in It, and upon examination he found that th chick was making its appearance. He ' gave the egg to Zeb Jones, who wrapped it up and kept it over an oil stove during the night. It was still in good condition the next tnorti ing. He then decided that the little fellow meant to come out, so he took it home and put it under a hen. It was not long before it was out and in good condition. It is still doing well. This shows that the tempera ture in J. L. Austin's is much above the average, and is very congenial to the egg industry. It was ty the closest accident that Herbert did not swallow the egg, but bis hearing sar ed the day and the chick. Don't know how many have tried to repro duce this trick, but suppose that J. L. Austin can furnish the eggs any time. Uncle John Q. Griffin is some what of a walker yet. He decided the other day that he would go over to Wingate, and as his son. Vernon, bad all of the stock busy on the farm, he put his feet in the road and walk ed over there in a very Short time. Not many men do such as this at tlw advanced age of eighty-five. He and Uncle Milton Uraswell of Marshvilln are the only two we know of. Undo Milton walks front Marshville to Mill Creek occasionally. They have tfio spirit of Caleb. They don't mean to get old, but keep vigorous to the end. They get more out of life than the grumbling, grunting kind. Some men ripn ns age comes on. others sour. The kind thtit ripens a?, a shock of corn are so much more pre ferable. Mrs. Edgar Williams sold a cow ror one hundred dollars the other day, and those who knew the cow say that she was worth eery cent of the money. A cow like this does mt eat any more than a twenty-five dol lar scrub. Why not have the good kind eo that when yon sill you can get something for them? Wlntraie and MatshvHlo are doing their part in trying to bring good flock and fai lle Into this county. Glonalpine. Many Elves Lost In M;nt.um Eirw. Butte, Mont., June 9.
