DAILY VOLUME ao tttOSttp, TUESDAY, AUGUTS H24. NUMBER 176. FUND STARTED TO BUY ARTIFICIAL LEGS FOR VICTIM OF ROBBERY A fund has been started by Joplin citizens to purchase a set of artificial legs for Baker Dooley, a legless man who sells papers on the street to gain a livelihood for himself and family and who was robbed of $16, his entire savings, Sunday the bandits destroying his artificial legs before leaving so that he could not notify the police. The legs represented $300 to Dooley, who had saved many months to gather enough funds to buy them. Heartfelt sympathy is felt towards Dooley by all Joplin citizens and no doubt enough money will soon be subscribed to replace his loss.

A reward of $50 has been offered for the identification of the bandits. ANNOUNCEMENT I have again charge of th Farmers Lunch Room on East Spring St. and will be glad to meet all mj old friends and customers as well a new ones. Regular dinner 25 cents Mrs. Lula Morgan.
