ANTICIPATION!
By LARRY HUNTER
Hardly a turkey now alive
But shuns the number “25.”
For those are the dates which bear the
“figger**
When gobbling a gobbler is “de rigger!”
(And here I will insert a word
Of sorrow for November’s bird.)
Thanksgiving gets him in the neck
He doesn’t gain a thing, by heck!
But Christmas turkeys find relief
All intermingled with their grief.
(In 50 days they’ll go to glory
And that will end their tragic story.)
On that day all their pain is done,
But human woe is just begun
The bills, the debts, alas! alack!
And bright red ties we can’t take back!
"'THEY all look alike to me.”
said District Attorney Frank
Newman last night when queried
concerning plans for prosecuting
Eli (Buck) Cagle. Stanley Borden
and Marshall Hearn, Monmouth
football players, and Dick Messen
ger, Ashland drug clerk, who are
said to have confessed to the beat
ing and robbing of E. D. Rice,
Dallas, Tex., jewelry salesman
near Ashland early Sunday morn
ing.
“We are awaiting the boys’ de
cision on whether they will waive
grand jury' indictments or not be
fore taking further steps," said
Newman
"James
Chinnock,
Grants Pass attorney, has been re
tained by Messenger, and probably
will advise the Monmouth trio. He
is expected to interview the Mon
mouth normal school football
players in the county jail Friday
morning and, if indictments will
be required, probably their cases
will be under consideration by
the inquisitorial body not later
than Monday. We plan to carry
this case right on through without
delay," the district attorney de
clared. It was expected that the
trio from Monmouth would volun
tarily appear before Circuit Judge
H. D. Norton today, however.
Although much maudlin senti
ment has been generated by
friends of the local man, Newman
reiterated his declaration that all
four will look alike in the eyes
of the law, and that attempts be
ing made to cast suspicion on
their victim will have no bearing
on the crime, in which Rice was
"taken for a ride” ostensibly to
pull his car from a ditch 12 miles
south of Ashland but which cul-
