MISSIONARY BACKED
UP MORAL SUASION
C°pyfight 1907 by
Htrt Schaffner (J Marx
8. D. Crawford was arraigned In the
recorder's court Monday charged with
beating hla niece, Cora Judge, with a
horae whip. They wo negroes, and he
claims to be a missionary and ahe to be
a school teacher. He la the guardian of
a (mail.estate left to her by her mother
at the time of her death, about a year
ago.
Missionary Crawford, who might be
mistaken for a white man on the street,
Is several tints lighter In color than the
Judge woman, who In turn is many de
grees lighter than her three brothers,
the eldest of whom la IS years old. The
boy* are beneficiaries of the mother's
estate with the sister.
Conflicting stories were told In court
about the support of the boys, the pay
ment nf rent and other domestic affairs.
Crawford admitted that he went to the
house where Cora lived about midnight
Saturday and that he carried his whip
when he went In after tlelng hit home
outside, and that he struck her with the
blacksnake several times while he was
trying to urge her vocally to dree*
faster.
"Qelng a missionary, I would think
that you would use moral suasion," said
Recorder Droyles. "Don’t you believe
In itr
"Ye*. Indeed I do," said Crawford,
‘but sometimes you have to use a stick
or something to back It up." f
Crawford was fined |5.75 and his
niece was told that Insofar ns the re
corder's court was concerned, she
could have charge of her brothers. She
said she was able to take oare of them.
She said she had done sp by teaching
school In Lafayettg and Columbus for
nearly two years.
"I think you are,” said Recorder
Broyles, "but you ought to get rid of
that wonderful pronunciation you have.
Then .he tusk would be easier.”

could have a great drought once every
fifteen yearn, killing off two-thlrda of
the population nnd great care were
taken to nee that the heat third, mental

newly arrived freahmen.
Tlila statement, waa made In the
course of an account ho was giving of
his impressions of Australia and Now
Zealand and the sheep-raising Industry
there.
“The desert atmosphere extends over
the sheep-raising country, and when
there Is a drought many sheep die,” he
continued, "but those left are the finest
In the world, and It so happens that the
sheep-raisers get more for their stock
in a year of drought than they do In a
norma! year.”

Officers Say Colored At
tendance Swelled Sunday
Beyond the Ordinary.
Something other than religion seemed
to be a magnet that was attracting ne
groes to tho church at Butler and Col
lege streets Sunday and Detectives
Lanfnrd and Doyle observed It. They
noticed that a man who went there
with a load of blues came back with a
load of something else. So they Inves
tigated.
Will Mugulre and Will Lovelace were
arrested. Officers Whatley and Newell
caught the latter at hi* home, where. It
Is charged by the police, he was filling
bottles for Mngulro to tnke nnd place
beneath the church steps. Mngulre was
captured by the detectives with two
pint bottles In his pocket. Owing to the
lack of direct evidence against the ne
groes, Maguire got off with a fine of
IS. 75 nnd Level ace was compelled to
pay $16.75.

PLAYED INDIAN
TO RAID GAME
To catch a little social game of craps
when the shooters are unsuspecting Is
a comparatively simple proceeding for
the police, but to bag a whole outfit
when they are on the watch, pausing
between each throw to look for dan
ger, Is a performance worthy of a dime
novel.
Joe Smith, Will Sullivan, J. & Hum
phries and Grover Thompson, four
hlte men, were arrested by County
Officer* Hancock, Swords and Davis In
the woods near the Union Stock Yards
Sunday afternoon, while they weir en
gaged In what Joe Smith admitted was
nothing more nor less than ernps.
For self-protection th* four men
were standing up One would stoop
down and throw while the others kept
a look-out. The game was a dollar a
throw nnd going good.
Like nn Indian, Officer Swords crawl
ed on his hands and knees for a dis
tance of ICO yards, keeping well out of
sight. He lay In some bushes a fe-.v
feet from tho crap shooters long enough
to get an idea of what the four men
were doing, then turned and crawled
a was - .
In a grand stampede the three offi-
ci is captured the four young men. Joe
Smith, licet of foot, made a dash for
Pberty, but was overtaken by Officer
Swords, who Is no mean runner. Smith

ing In the dty court Monday and also
to u former charge, and got a fine of
$100, or sixteen month* In Jail for the
two. Th* cases of the other three wlll
