The loss is placed at $35,000 with $25,000 insurance. Geo. W. Sparks, who purchased the building about a year ago, announces that he will rebuild at once, or as soon as plans can be drawn up and approved. He will go to New York and study the latest in play houses, and give Moberly the best show house in the state outside of the cities. It will be fireproof throughout. Friday, 11 Sep 1914--AT THE GEM--Seventh installment of the great picture "Lucille Love." Last week's picture left Lucille and her enemy adrift in mid-ocean in a row boat, and with the precious papers for which she had risked so much in the possession of the captain of the smuggling ship which cast her adrift. Will the battleship seen in the distance last week pick them up, and will she recover the papers? Friday, 11 Sep 1914--Thos. Hare, who recently engaged in the grocery business with Wm.

Friday, 11 Sep 1914--HENRY DAVIS--Henry Davis, brief mention of whose death was made in our last issue, was born in Braidwood, Ill, in 1875, and died September 3, 1914, from injuries sustained in the Walton mine on August 21. He came to this state something over 20 years ago and located at Elliott, and a few years later moved to Higbee, of which he had been a citizen about eighteen years. He was married in Elliott on December 25, 1895, to Miss Emma Summers, who, with their four children, Rhoda, Henry, Hanna and Glenn, survives him. He also leaves a brother, David, of this place, and a sister, Mrs. Sarah Powell, of Coal City, Ill. Funeral services were held at the Latter Day Saints church, of which deceased had long been a member, by Eld. Wm. Kelso. The large crowd, a fourth of which could not find standing room, spoke eloquently of the esteem in which he was held by his acquaintances and of the deep sympathy felt for his family. Following the services at the church the body was taken in charge by the Higbee lodge of Knights of Pythias, of which he had been a faithful member for many years, and laid to rest in the city cemetery with the full honors of the fraternity. Friday, 11 Sep 1914--MRS. ANGEL'S ASSAILANT ARRESTED?--Sheriff Sam Magruder and Constable Lute Hamilton of Renick returned to Randolph county early Saturday morning with Claude Foster, 27 years old, suspected of being the one who attacked and tried to rob his aged aunt, Mrs. Anna Angel, at Renick, Monday night. Foster was arrested at his home 4462 Evans avenue, St. Louis, Thursday night. The young man was placed in the Moberly jail to await a hearing before Squire Littrell at Renick. At the jail yesterday Foster made the statement that he is not guilty of attacking his mother's sister. He said he was in Moberly Monday night when the brutal attack was made and returned to St. Louis on the following morning. Foster was taken before Justice Littrell yesterday afternoon for his preliminary hearing and was bound over to the circuit court. In default of a $500 bond he was remanded to jail. A wide gold band ring which Foster pawned at a local pawn shop Tuesday morning played in the court room. The ring has on it a stain which is said to be blood. Foster was unable to say what was on the ring and how it got there. The blood-stained ring was brought into the evidence as it was thought by the authorities that the gashes in Mrs. Angel's head were inflicted by a ring on her assailant's hand--Moberly Democrat, Sept 6. Kathy Bowlin, Additions, corrections, comments welcome.
