WHITE MAN SLAIN
BY MOB AT OSCEOLA
Andy Crum, Charged With
Complicity in Murder of Sher
iff Mauldin, is Victim.
Osceola, Aug. 13.- Andy
Crum was shot to death in jail
here late Thursday afternoon
by a mob of fifteen men after
the jailer had been overpower
ed. Crum was arrested in con
nection with the killing of Sam
I). Mauldin, sherilf of Missis
sippi county, in a raid by the
sheriff and a posse on blind
tigers on Island 37 in the Mis
sissippi River July 31.
Crum had been in jail at
Marion for safekeeping as
public sentiment after the slay
ing of the sheriff was high
against the men arrested. In
company with Robert Kenton
and several other white men
and sixteen negro prisoners
he was brought here for trial
at a special session of court
set for today. No harm was
offered the other prisoners.
Bert Spring, a negro, who is
charged with the actual slay
ing of Sheriff Mauldin, died
in jail Thursday at Marion
from wounds received while
resisting arrest.
At Fort Smith I hursday
afternoon Federal Judge F. A.
Youmans refused an applica
tion by counsel for a writ of
habeaus corpus for Rob Kenton
and A. G. Krum. It was sought
to remove them to Tennessee,
beyond the jurisdiction of Ar
kansas officials, on the ground
that Island 37, where the kill
ing of Sheriff Mauldin occur
red, is Tennessee territory.
Judge Youmans declined to
interfere, holding the case was
still in the State courts.
It was while the hearing
was in progress that Crum
was taken from jail and shot
to death.
Crum was about 35 years
old, owned about 400 acres of
land on Island 37 and was re
puted to be worth about $25,
000.
Quiet prevailed here today
when twenty other inhabitants
of the island, whites and ne
groes, were placed on trial on
the charge growing out of the
killing of Sheriff Mauldin.

HUSBAND IS SHOT
BY HIS YOUNG WIFE
After Agreeing to Separation,
Woman Hunts up Husband
and Attempts to Kill Him.
Fort Smith, Aug. 17.—After
seriously shooting her husband,
Luther, 21, Eva Ruehl, 19, shot
herself early today. Physicians
believe both will recover. The
shooting occured at the home
of Buehl’s father at 508 Lex
ington avenue, shortly after 5
o’clock.
The girl then attempted to
shoot herslf in the heart, but
aimed too high. The bullet
broke her collar bone.
Husband and wife were tak
en to the hospital in the same
ambulance. A week ago the
couple decided to separate.
Mrs. Ruehl returned to the
home of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. .John Evans, and Ruehl
returned to the home of his
father, who is night jailer at
the city jail. The police sa\
Mrs. Ruehl walked past the
Ruehl home several times last
night armed with a revolver.
Early today she went to the
Ruehl home and called her
husband to the porch. As he
opened the door she fired. The
first bullet went wild and bur
ied itself in the door. Ruehl
began closing the door,but was
not quick enough, as the second
bullet struck him. The girl then
shot her self and collapsed b\
his side.
NEVER BLAMEDTHEBOOZE
He took a bottle up to bed,
Drank whiskey hot all night;
Drank cocktails in tne morn
ing.
But never could g< t tight.
He shivered in the evening.
And always had the blues.
Until he took a bowl or two —
But lie never blamed the booze.
His joints were full of rheuma
tism,
His appetite was slack:
He had pains between the
shoulders.
Chills ra* down his back.
He suffered with insomnia,
w\t night he couldn’t snooze,
He said it was the climate —
But he never blamed the booze.
His constitution was run down,
At least that’s what he said ;
'His legs were swelled each
morning,
And he often had swelled head.
He tackled beer, wine, whiskey
And if they didn’t fuse
He blamed it to dyspepsia—
But he never blamed the booze.
He said he couldn’t sleep at
night,
And always had bad dreams;
lie claimed he always laid
awake
Till early sunlight beams.
He thougt it was malaria,
■Alas! ’twas but a ruse;
He blamed it onto everything—
But he never blamed the booze.
11 is liver needed scraping,
And his kidneys had the gout;
He swallowed lots of bitters
Till at last he cleaned them
out.
Jlis legs were swelled with
dropsy
Till he had to cut his shoes,
Jle blamed it to the doctor—
Rut he never blamed the booze.
Ills clothes were getting seedy,
His nose was getting red,
His children always hungry
Himself not too well fed.
His family he neglected
His wife he did abuse;
JH> blamed all h<T relations—
Rut he ne ver blamed the booze.
Then he had the tremens,
And tackled rats and snakes;
First he had the fever
Then he had the shakes;
At last he had a funeral.
And the mourners had the
blues;
And the epitah carved for him
was—
“He never blamed the Booze.”

Mail Order Houses
Know Value Publicity
The question has often been
asked, Why do mail order
houses in distant cities got
business from communities in
which there are many mer
chants who handle the same
lines of goods in which the mail
order houses deal and sell them
at prices as low as are asked
by the foreign dealers? An
answer to the question may be
found in the report of a recent
social survey made in Summer
County, Kan., under the direc
tion of the state board of
health. The survey was made
primarily for health and sani
tation purposes, but each far
mer in the county was request
ed to state the amount of his
annual business with itinerant
tradesmen and mail order
houses. The answers to this
question revealed that seventy
three per cent of the farmers
are patrons of the mail order
houses and send on an average
of .$28.25 a year to foreign
concerns.
Based on the mail order
business of the county in which
I lie survey was made, it is es
timated that $.‘>.745,000 goes
irom Kansas to foreign mail
order houses each year. And
her ■ is the reasonforthiscondi
tio’i, as shown by the report:
“The farmers of Summer Coun
ty explained that they receiv
ed the bulky order catalogs
regularly: that the local mer
chants in many instances did
not advertise and those that
did often failed to quotepriees;
that the mail order houses
brought their stores to the
farmers though publicity and
the latter bought.”
In other words lack of pub
licity on the part of the local
merchants of Kansas lost them
$ ! 7 15,0000 last year.
file moral is plain.
