Hall, a prominent lumberman of Tannehill, La., was picked up at Twenty-third and (Market Streets to-night by patrolman John C. Curran and taken to the City Hospital. He was suffering fron. a contusion of the eye and a lace rated ear, thought to have been sustained in a faN. When searched at the hospital $64.20 in cash, a good watch, two railroad passes and baggage checks were found in his pockets. He wore two rings, one a dia mond, thought to be worth about $100. He told the policeman that he came to St. Louis about a week and a half .go on business, and had been staying at the Mon ticello Hotel. In his pockets were business cards of St. Louis firms. Letters addressed to W. W. Hall and a card indicating that he is secretary of the Hall & Legan Lumber Company, of Tannehill, La., were found, Mr. Hall is well known here, having lived for several years at Tannehill. six miles qorth of Wianfield on, the Rock Island Railroad, where the Hall & Legan Lumber Company operates a sawmill.

'"" ~epeak IT.IS NOT SETTLED That Mill will be Moved From Winnfeld. PLANER WILL REMAIN Entire Plant Will Run Until the First of Next Year Anyway. For the past sevc ral days there have been rumors to the effect that the Sulphur Timber & Lum ber Company, Ifnlited, had sold its timber and milling interests in this section and that the plant would soon shut down and move away. A Senti'n:l representative interviewed President ilodge con cerning the rumors and learned that the company has disposed of practically all of its pine timber, having sold it to the Grant Land & Timber Company of Selma, and that the mill will probably be sold. The mill, planer and all will be run right along as it is now run ning until the first of the coming year. After that time it is not known wh't will be done with the mill but the planer will be operated right along as during the past year. There has been some adverse comment in connection with the matter, many business men espe cially were of the opinion thmt in as much as the town made liberal donations to get the mill located here the company is under some obligations to the town and should not go back on them. In this connection Mr. Hodge authorized the statement that anyone who donated to the company and has not been bene fitted by -the location of the mill here to the extent of the donation can get his'donation refunded by applying for it. It is not the intention of the company to break any contract or violate any obligation in any particular.. It is hardly probable that the shutting down of' this mill will cut such a figure in the town as some people are inclined to think. The mill will run four months longer, and may be longer, but if it is shut down and moved away the planer will run right along, the electric light plant will be run, and it is reported an ice factory will be built on the same property and operated by the same people. A number of the stockholders in the company are individual property owners and are too/iargely interested in the upbuilding of the town to delib erately "kill" one of the town's chief avenues of prosperity. If the mill is moved away it will not be necessary for many men to leave here to find employ ment, none except a few follow hng certain trades or.professions. Mayor's Court. .Those who think they can come to Wianfield and violate the town ordinances with im punity and get away have reckoned without their host. The Marshal and his aesistant are always on the qui vive and few get by without being picked up. And when they get before his honor, Mayor Bevill, he seems to know by some invisible reasoning the gilt or innocence of . the aensed, whether a criminal or a weak un ito bur lost cotol of Ifodtr. *ika of th' DEMAND 10 TS National Farmers.

A number of tLe members of the Farmers Union interested in parish warehouse matters met in the court house here Wednesdav and discussed the imatter, several members giving reports of what is heingedone in other parishes towards permanent warehouses. Everywhere the farimers are be coming interested in the matter and at several places in adjinining parishes warehouses will soon be completed, in time to handle the bulk of the present cotton crop. At Colu.nbia, Jonesboro and Saline t!., warehouses are already under cen:struction, the stock in the entei prises having been taken readily by the farmers in the adjacent communities. The concensus of opinion among those in the meeting Wed nesday is that a warehouse must be built at Winnfield and that at the earliest date. A resolution was adopted to the effect that owing to the.fact that efforts are being made to locate a state cen tral warehouse at WMlinfield, the matter to be definitly settled within the next few days, it is advisable to hold up on local organization until September 14 when a report from the state warehouse committee will - be heard, and if the state warehouse comes here then the local project will be dropped and all interest transferred to the state ware house. In the event, however, that the state warehouse does not come here plans will be adopted at the meeting on September 14 to build a local or parish ware house. Everyone interested in the warehouse matter is requested to be present on September 14 and lend4heir influence and support to the enterprise. A Day Late.

As The Sentinel go,. to lpresS today (Friday) at noon Wallace, I our candidate for member of the State Board of Equlizers, looks like a winner over both of the other candidates, in which event another primary wo)uld be unnec essary. The majorites given him in this parish, the town of Mindien and the city of Shreveport puts him 377 votes ahead of the other candidates. For some cause or other the wires are not working today, but sufficient returns have been re ceived to show that he is the leading candidate with a strong probability of winning out over both of his opponents. Merredith is the leading candi (ldate for Railroad Commissioner, with Foster a close second, but it will be tomorrow before the exact vote is kniown. The election passed off quietly in this parish with but little inter est manifested in many of the precincts. Some of them, how ever, polled a large propotion of their voting strength, as will be shown by the tabulated vote. For Railroad Commissioner Merredith carried the parish with a majority of 288 over both of the other candidates. For member Board of Equali zers Wallace carried the parish with a majority of 171 over both of the other candidates, which is considered a good showing, when the light vote and the strenuous fight put up by Judge Boone's supporters are taken into con sideration.
