IT PAYS TO GO FISHING NEAR BIG RIVER FARMS.
Walter and Houston Scott and families loaded up last week and went fishing down on Big River near Obbie Cole's farm, where they enjoyed one great time. A fine camping ground and a cold spring that would actually quench the
thirst of even a fisherman added to the completeness of the trip.
Not long after arriving at the camp our friends began to come in and during the day we have the good pleasure to shake hands with many of our old time friends.
Dentist Lee Turley went with the boys frog hunting and seeing about their trot lines and they brought in 15 frogs and 11 catfish and to say that they were tickled over the catch is putting it mildly. But Lee said no more such strolls for him.
On Friday Will Perkins and family arrived with a big bucket of milk and a pound of butter and about the time we had the spread ready, Dr. Lee Turley of Bonne Terre rode into camp and enjoyed the feast with us. That night Peter Falk came out and stayed over night and seemed to enjoy the quietness
of the woods.
On Saturday just as we were preparing to eat dinner, down the hill came Mrs. Sarah Cole with a bucket and a basket. The basket held a loaf of homemade light bread as large as three baker's loaves and the bucket contained some of the finest berries! The manner in which we made away with this food attested our high opinion of it.
That evening Alf Cole, wife and son, Mrs. Sarah Cole, Mrs. Lena Perkins and family joined the party. After a pleasant evening with these friends we invited them to take Sunday dinner with us.
When they came they brought buckets, baskets and handfuls of things to eat, things that only farmers can properly cook and prepare. There was fried chicken, cakes, cookies, light bread, pies, pickles and many other things and all this, with our 25 pounds of fish which we fried, can give you some idea as to what we had in the way of eats. After the meal we joined in a free for all throwing scraps from the table at each other. Then came bathing suits and everybody jumped into the river for another hour's fun.
At five o'clock Sunday evening we gathered together our outfit and started to Bonne Terre. By the time we reached Obbie Cole's barn it was raining. We drove the wagon under a shed and was taken to Mr. Perkins' for the night. That night we had a freezer of ice cream prepared by Mr. and Mrs. Perkins
and Mr. and Mrs. Cole.
Our catch for the trip was 25 catfish, 1 carp, 3 goldfish, about 60 pounds in all, five turtles, two ducks, four groundhogs, nineteen frogs and an awfully good time. ----A FISHERMAN.

FOREIGNER MURDERED LAST SUNDAY NIGHT:
Joe Jurkin, a foreigner, was shot and almost instantly killed Sunday night about 9 o'clock by M. K. Holly. Arch Byers, who is charged with being an accessory, is being held with Holly on a charge of murder in the first degree. An inquest was conducted by Coroner Prather and Prosecuting Attorney Mathews at the office of Squire Martin Monday morning. The substance of the testimony given by the foreigners who were present when the shooting occurred, follows:
The shooting occurred at a store or restaurant conducted by John Nicolff, near Federal No. 6. About nine o'clock M. K. Holly, Arch Byers and George Asher came to the store. When they arrived six foreigners were sitting around a table drinking cider. When the three men entered they went up to the counter. One of the foreigners at the table had just ordered a bottle of cider. When Nicoloff produced it he remarked that it was the last bottle he had in stock. Holly demanded to know if he was not going to get any. One of the foreigners at the table pulled the bottle toward him and said, "no, the man has no more." Holly and Byers then started toward the door. Holly drew a revolver and asked Byers if he should shoot. Byers, according to one witness, told him to go ahead. Holly fired two shots, one of which took effect in Jurkon's body. After being shot Jurkon jumped up and grabbed Holly. In doing so blood from his wound was smeared on Holly's shirt.
Immediately after the shooting the foreigners grabbed the three men and held them until soldiers arrived and took charge of them. Byers had a pocket knife open in his hand. This he handed to Nicoloff.
In cross examining Asher, it was brought out that Holly burned his blood stained shirt while being held in the guard house Sunday night.
The verdict of the jury was that deceased came to his death from a gun shot wound at the hands of M. K. Holly.
