NOISV BURGLARS At Decatur Produce Plant Arouse Neighbors Who Summon Marshal ESCAPE IS MADE By Visitors Through West Window—Nothing Was Taken Noisy visitors, undoubtedly ot burglarious intent, were frightened away from the Decatur Produce plant last night between nine and ten o'clock before they accomplished any theft. The visitors had undoubtedly entered byway of a cellar window. The chickens were aroused to squawking, and this with the noise of dogs and moving persons, made it anything but a quiet place. Mrs. Nora Allen who lives near, heard the noise, and summoned Marshal Meichi who responded. He, in turn, called Ches MasM»«e. and Ed Ashbancher. the later having the keys. The burglars heard their approach and made their escape byway of a west window through the cooler, it being impossible for the few men to guard all points of escape at the same time. An examination shows nothing missed and the timely discovery probably saved the firm much loss. o DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE CALL.

It had been coming since 5:30 this morning when the gates were opened. Automobiles hailing from every corner of the . United States waited In long rows outside the gates for admission and thousands of people arrived from the city by steam and interurban. The line began to form long before daybreak, and the rush at the opening ot the gates resembled a government land drawing. At midnight a company of national guard was stationed in the grounds, and at daybreak this company formed in a long "skirmish” line stretching from side to side of the big enclosure. They began the "rabbit hunt” for men and boys who had crept into the grounds and lay hidden in grass and behind trees hoping to escape detection. The field was then placed in battle trim. All tents were removed. No obstructions were allowed to stand to hinder the view from the judges stand, grand stand and press stand. Sentries stood all night before the rating cars. o 444444444***** * THE NATION’S DEAD. 4 4 ' * 4 Four hundred thousand men, $ * Th* brave, the good, the true. * *ln tangled wood, In mountain 4 * glen, • » *On battle plain, in prison pen, * 4 Lie dead for me and you. 4 * Four hundred thousand of the 4 4 brave 4 * Have made our ransomed soil 4 * their grave, 4 4 For me and you, 4 4 Good friend, for me and you. * 4 4 4 A debt we ne'er can pay 4 A To them is justly due: A 4 And to the nation's latest day 4 4 Our children's children still shall A 4 say A 4 "They died for me and you."
