Pretty Heiress WedeFarm Hand; Is Missouri Girl


By The Associated Press


JOPLIN, Mo. Aug. 20-Mim Louise Agnes Brother, young heiress, who eloped from Richland. La. Saturday and married Belts Bunch, a farm hand .. in. St. Louis, formerly was Louise Agnes Warren, 'of. Alba, Mo.


She was the daughter of the late John Warren, a sinc miner. The girl was adopted by O. D. Strother. wealthy Oklahoma off man, when the! was four years old. Her mother be- came ill after the death of Mr. War- ren and was tinabla to support the family of three girls.


Miss Strother was reported to have been left an inheritance of $2,500.000 by her foster father. Mra. Ocle Odell. 1 Webb City. Mo., a sister, said terms of the legacy limite her to use of $100 a month until the ta 80 years old. Then she is to come Into her Inheritance.


Another alster of the heiress, Mra. Dovie Cobertson, lives to lowa.


THE WASTEBASKET Into which are often tossed things well worth while.


Dead-end atreets are rather Inter- ! ating. because of their rural in- ciinations. Being dead as one end or the other, and frequenti/ at both termini, they are, naturally more or Jess numb in their middle. They are peaceful- lanes, preserving much of the appearance and many of the memories of long ago.


Patton Allev. allas Patton avenue. properly begins at Water street and climbs the hill from Jordan valley. between garages and auto repair shops to Ouve. More than half a century ago. a witlaky still, that utilized the flow of a crystal spring. then, flowing from the hillside, marked the terminus of a path down a steep mente that had from Jake Painter's gun-shop; this end of Patton alley was too steep for schicles.


Its second block is a cool canyon, wherein is hidden the city's reat room. Many years since, the village rest tym was ed out by the back fence and camouflaged with poke- weed and jimson. Springfield still retaina the "where-ls-It?" feature.


-


The third block of Patton avenue was a famous rallying place for tipsters In good old preVolstead days. Gilded bars of College street empted their dregs into Patton al- ley to drain into Kirby's Arcade And viel-versa. Further south was Price's Wagonyard, flanked by yurls of less prominence, all with sleeping quarter for rent sans everything. but license to use without question A motley crew eddied back and forth between pool halls, gambling Joints and roaring bars. Tragedies were frequent and fights of daily occurrence. "Many a Saturday afternoon I have spent In this vl- cinity, 50 years ago, watching fer the inevitable fight, or serlea of fights that usually wound up In a free-for-all," said an old timer.


But the glory that was Rome's has passed. The roar of traffic replaces the roar of Baccus. Yet where the : alley is broadened to a paved and lighted avenue and many modern store buildings erected, no tenant oc- cuples them. It is strange to see so many new fronts empty. Perhaps. these bulldings would be occupied were they not at the cross-roads of


two thoroughfares dead-ended at all four ends.


Although broadened to a 60-foot and paved, Patton avenue, as for- merly, is still the receiving end of several wholesale houses.


When the avenue was a weed fringed alley, bearded drivers of Jaded teams, drawing loads of cot- ton, hides, tallow, tobacco and farm produce, came up from the White river country and camped in its dust, while rural cargoes were ex- changed for stocks for general mer- chandise. No longer does country producta concentrate in Patton al- Jay, but trucks carrying as much as an antire: weron trafił roll out of Patton avenue, distributing their Joads to country marchants scat- tered along hundreds of miles of smooth highway, distributing fresh commodities, meats, bread, milk. fruits and perishable groceries-a hundred and !!!!; miles from Springfield Instead of the camp- fires that burned at dusk along the edge of Patton alley, where men gathered to pass the bottle and horses munched from feed-boxes at wagon-enda, there were fleets of drummer's coaches, cach loaded with sample casse ready for a swift campaign.


South of Walnut. Palton is silent and little used. Old tenements face 14 opposite weed grown ends of lots that front on South avenue. Some ancient dwellings" moved back to make room for business structures on Campbell, are doing service as boarding houses. With no traffic to Interrupt Chelr pleasure, a bevy of youngsters raced up and down on rolier skuils.


Patton ends at Mount Vernon, where an apartment house as crowded as a martin box. fronts upon a street that is not dead ended. a throbbing through artery of city
