Jasper's Oldest Man in Want.
The county court will be asked
b several hundred people of Jas
per and vicinity, through a peti
tion circulated last week by A. II.
Hendricks and others, to provide
for Win Pike of this city, who has
practically become a pauper chief
ly through his own kindness of
heart. At one time Mr. I'ike, now
the oldest man in Jasper, was a
large taxpayer and apparently had
no need to fear the future. Sign
inj; notes for others proved his un
doing, and he is physic.illy unable
to are for himself in his old age.
His is a pitiful and a deserving
case, and any action the court
takes to alleviate his condition will
meet with unanimous favor here.

igio CENSUS FIGURES
ARE MADE PUBLIC.
Jasper Shows Only Small Part of
Real Gain. Southwest Gains
on the Whole. Several
Towns Lost Heavily.
The official figures of the 1910
census, for Missouri, are out at
last. It seems the half wasn't told
by the pessimistic advance notices
to the effect that the country towns
as a rule had failed to hold their
own. Or rather the whole thing
was told, and some more, too.
For the loss in most cases was
even more than was rumored.
This part of the state fared bet
ter than any other, most places
showing a gain, in some cases
very substantial. Such was not
always the case, however.
Jasper shows an official increase
of only 37 over the 1000 census.
Ten years ago the popula'ion was
627, last year it was 064. Jasper,
however, unlike most of the other
towns, has grown very substantial
ly but can't show the fact bci nuse
the growth is practically all just
Missouri.

outside the old corp iraj limits of
the city. There are at least two
hundred people who properly
should be included in-Jjisper's pop
ulation but whom the census could
not include because the corpora
tion line falls short of them. In
fact, an unofficial census taken in
the spring of 1909 (since which
time the town has undoubtedly
grow id showed a population of 913.
So Jasper really can hold her head
pretty high.
Xow let's look at some others.
Here are figures n several towns
in these parts, as published in last
Sunday ' St. Louis Republic.

Liberal, which shows the most
marked increase of all the small
towns, acquired the same princi
pally by annexing Pedro with its
j oo souls. At Auroia, where the
decrease is greatest, the mineral is
playing out. Greenfield and Mt.
Vernon are situated a good deal
like Jasper with respect to popula
tion outside the town limits.
Shcoting Still a Mystery.

young man who was so mysteri
ously attacked last wetk at Car
thage while working on the night
shift at the light plant, i; spending
a tew davs in Jasper with his
grandfather, I). M. Buerge, and
other relatives The attack made
on him remains as deep a mystery
as ever and no anosts have been
made lbs left arm, in which he
received a ,?S-cnlbre bullet, he is
st ill carrying in a sling, but as no
bones were touched by the bullet
he expects to have normal use of
the member in a couple of weeks
at the. most.

FREEDA HUTZELL'S DEATH
WAS ACCIDENTAL
Remains of Colorado Boy Who
Shot Himself Brought Here
for Burial.
Mrs. Thos. Marsh, who was call
ed to Ault, Colo., last week by
the death of her grandson, Frceda
Hutzell, returned home Monday,
bringing with her the body of the
unfortunate young man, for inter
ment in the Faskin cemetery, at
Center Point church, to miles
southeast of here. The Initial
servic c was held Monday afternoon.
It dcvelopes that the boy's
death was due purely to accident,
and was not a deliberate sui
cide, as was gathered from the
first telegram received by the
Marshes. It happened at about
ten o'clock on the morning of
April 9th. The Hutzell family
hail just finished having a gioup
photograph taken at their home,
and Frceda, who intended to go
out rabbit-shooting, had the gun
in his hand when the picture was
taken. Immediately afterward he
was talking with his mother, who
opened the door to let him pass
out with the gun. There was only
one actual eye-witness to the trag
edy, a small boy, a cousin of

Freeda's, and the boy was so ter
rified that he could not tell of it
with any clearness. It is presum
ed, however, that one of the ham
mers on the gun struck against
the wood work. At any rate one
of the shells in the weapon was
discharged and the load of shot
struck Frceda glancingly on the
right side of the face. He fell to
the ground unconscious and the
best efforts of physicians, who
hoped that the shot may not have
entered his brain, failed to revive
him. He died at 6.30 that even
