SERIOUS PRACTICAL JOKE
Mr. Pennington and Walter Cox were building some Fence for Bert Moberly a few weeks ago, and it was a several days’ job they stayed upon the farm at night. Cox's fertile brain busied itself one day concocting some scheme for amusement to while away the lonesome nights while removed from the gayeties of town. The result was that one evening at the close of the day’s work he carried to the house an object which he kept concealed from Mr. Pennington. The revelation was to come later. He placed the object in Mr. Pennington's bed and waited impatiently for things to begin to happen. He had to wait a considerable time, for Worth was in no hurry to retire and Bert, who was not on to the game, went to bed before the explosion came. Finally the marked victim turned in and his attention was immediately directed towards
to work. Bert, who was sleeping in an adjoining room, sprang out of bed and half way across the room when a wierd, agonizing yell split the silence of night. Though only half awake the readily comprehended that there was something doing in Worth's room for the yells grews in n ensity ;■ ? d the .minding and threshing noise that emitted from the room sunded like an elephant had gone on the warpath. He hastened to the door and asked to know' the cause of the commotion; but if Worth heard him he was too busily engaged with his own affairs to impart information. Bert opened the door cautiously and peeped in. Worth was in the middle of the room doing a stunt that looked like a Highland liing only ilie step was faster and the arms were gesturing much more violently than the usual flopping incidental to a hoe down. AH things must eventually reach the end of the rope and even bees can't keep puncturing a man's hide indefinitely. Worth won out but it. was a dear victory for he resembled small pox patient at the wind up.

One plateful of MOTHER’S OATS will produce more vim and vigor and taiergy and action—more vitality, more enthusiasm and more endurance, than many times the same bulk of meat, fish, fowl, or cereals of lower food value. MOTHER’S OATS are different from other’s oats and different from ordinary oatmeal. They are put up in sanitary sealed packages. But there’s more to MOTHER’S OATS than the package^ they are the best oats in the world, the best selection of the best crops. Every batch that comes to our mills is screened and only the ripe, big grains are marketed. They are not only sterili/.cd, but steamed (to burst the protcid cells); then rolled (to render the cooking easy), and after that, MOTHER’S OATS are crushed (to hasten their djgestion) easy work for the stove, easy work for the stomach and more work for the man. There’s a coupon in every package of Mother s Cereals. ^ ou can collect enough of them in a little while to own a Fireless Cooker for nothing. Vour grocer will tell you how to get it free. There arc a number of ways ami all of them make it worth while to buy Mother’s Cereals: Mother’s Oats, Mother’s Com Meal (white or yellow), Mother’s Wheat Hearts (the cream of the wheat), Mother’s Hominy Grits, Mother’s Corn Flakes (toasted), Mother’s Coarse Pearl Hominy, Mother’s Old Fashioned Steel Cut Oatmeal, Mother’s Old Fashioned Graham Flour.

: ed an exc lamation and fell back Into
j the store.
Believing that he had hit Akers, ! Dunning left the store and went for assistance. Akers hau not be^n hit, ! however, for as soon as Dunning left the store he went to his home. He was seen walking to his home by Dr. FT. M. Hurst and John O’Mullane who | had been attracted from their homes ' by the several shots which had been
fired.
| A telephone message was immediately sent Sherifi' Stroube and he sent his deputy, Mike Kelly to Cloverdale on the S:2l Monon train to arrest Mr. Akers. Upon his arrival ai the town Mr. Kelly got Charley Hunter, the town marshal, and the two men went to the Akers home to
arrest him.
Kelly's knock at the Akers home ! was an vere ! by Mrs. Akers. As S'.on a» the door opened Mr, Kelly, awaited no formality, but walked into the house, asking Mrs. \Kers as he entered if Mr. Akers was there. She answered that he was. The Seputy Sheriff, clotely follow- ; ed by Mr. Hunter walked into the j house and found Mr. Akers lying on a couch. He professed to believe that the officers were after him for failing to pay his dog taxes and stated that he would come to down and attend to the matter without the officers having to take him. As he talked to the officers he arose from the couch and walked
over to a mantle.
Keaching to the manile he picked up a revolver and uttering an oath, saying that he would kill the officers, started toward them. He had not been quick enough, however, for I Kelly and Hun'er were upon him, beI fort the weapon could be leveled at ; them. As they were struggling with ! the desperate man, Mrs. Akers ran 1 to file kitchen and just as the officers : got the revolver away from her husI hand, she entered the room with a j revolver leveled at the officers. I Leaving the man to Marshal Hur.t-
volver away from her. As the man j and woman fought for the possession i of the revolver. Mrs. Akers stated that the officers would have to kill | her to get it. This proved unnecesl sary, however. The revolvers taken f; om the man j and woman were of 32 caliber bulldog variety. The one which Mr. Akers picked up from the mantle i had three empty catridgcs in it. The | three empty shells, the officers believe. were the three shots fired at j Dunning. The prisoner was then taken to the Monon station and brought hete on the north bound train. Soon after his arrival he was taken before the mayor. Akers, when arrested, seemed to be under the influence of liquor or drugs. When the charge of breaking into the store was read to him, he stated that he knew nothing of it at all and that he was not
guilty.
The people of C'loverdale believe that Mr. Akers has been the man. or one of the men, who has been committing the , many robberies there during the past few months. They believe, that he baa an accomplice in the work and suspicion strongly points to some more of the Clover-
dale unemployed.
Cloverdale people know that Mr. Akers is a dangerous man and when the officer reached there that morning he was cautioned by many to be careful, as he was taking his life in his hands when he went to arrest Akers. The deputy believes that if Mr. Akers had had time to ret the revolver before the officers were upon him that some one
would have been shot.
E\en after the offi ers had gotten revolver away from him he fought them and finally he had to
lie handcuffed.
Armed with a ser.-eh warrant issued from Greencastle, Cloverdala officers visited the home of John Akers, arrested on Monday for burglary and searched t»— place. The house had been watched all day after the officers left for Greencastle with Akers, and the < tizens and officers were sure that nothing had been taken out. About fifty citizens accompanied the officers to the
house.
On searching the premises some dozen sacks of flour were found, several varieties of canned goods.
In the
coal house was a considerable quant8 eP ity of coal, though it is reported that f 'oal merchants have not sold anv been * (coal to Akers for several years. \\ hen the officers discovered the ! vegetables and groceries, Mrs. Akers is said to have rer arkei that the j plunder was all that came from the
I Denny store.
The arrest of Akers and the fight he put up is still the talk of the •own of Cloverdale. Many do not understand how the errest was pulled off without any one being hurt. Warrants for the arrest of Mrs. Akers on the charge of complicity in the burglaries and with pointing : a deadly weapon have not yet been sworn out. It is probable, however, that one or the other of these warrants will be issued soon, though there is little disposition to prosecute
he woman.
A revolver duel between John Akers, formerly Editor of the Cloverdale Graphic, and Jerry Dunning, night watchman at Cloverdale, at near 4 o’clock on Monday, began :i series of exciting events as have transpired in that town in many
years.
The excitement was ended at near 11 o'clock on that morning when Akers was taken before Mayor Hays in this city to answer to a charge of breaking into the genera’, store of H. Denny of Cloverdale Akers pleaded not guifty and his trial was set for Friday morning at 10 o'clock. His bond was fixed at
$ 1,000.
F’or months Cloverdale has been harassed by some one who continually was robbing some store or indi- • vidual. No one could be caught in the act of robbing anyone, although | suspicion strongly pointed toward some of the town's unemployed per-
sons.
Monday morning at 1 o’clock Jerry Dunning, the night watchman of the town was making his rounds soon after the south bound Monon passenger train, which was running late this morning, passed through
the town.
As the train passed through Mr. Dunning who was near the Denny store heard the crash of glass. He went to the rear of the Denny store
to investigate.

Just as he reached the rear of the store he saw John Akers through a window. The large of ghus in the window had broken out by some one hurling a large chunk of coal thro igh it. As Akers stepped into the store Dunning drew his revolver and shot at him. Akers then drew his revolver and several shots were fired by each man. Akers fired three times and Dunning three times. As Dun-
j ning fired his third shot Akers utter-
