A young man, whose appearance leads the authorities to the belief that he is Dale Jones, held up the cashier of the Lake Drug Store in Kansas City, Kansas, Christmas night at the point of a gun and escaped with more than $40. The Kansas City Star says: “The description of the man tallies with that of Dale Jones, the 19-year- old boy who escaped from jailat But- ler, Mo., a month ago while awaiting trial for the murder of Sam Queen tonstable of Hume, Mo. Jones was also suspected of being implicated in in the killing of Patrollman William F. Koger, November 21, 1913. Kog- er was killed at Forty-fourth Street and Elmwood Avenue ina revolver fight with box car theives. Queen found Jones driving a stolen motor car filled with stolen freight and ar- rested him. While taking him to Butler another man boarded the train to rescue Jones. Queen was shot and Jones escaped. When arrested again last April at Ninth streét and Prospect Avenue he attempted to use the two revolvers he carried.”’. Steam Shovel Starts. The big steam shovel at the Ideal Coal & Mining Company’s $50,000 coal works, west of town, began throwing dirt Wednesday. With fair weather the loading of coal for ship- ment will begin by the first of next week. The stripping where the shovel will begin operations is about eleven feet down to the coal vein. This is considered remarkable shal- low mining, and the coal can be placed on the cars at a very small ex- pense with the plant in full operation. _ —-Hume Telephone. Ward-Morrell.
