thieves in Missouri The following
are two instances of his inexorable
judgments. They took place in Hick-
DRY county:

ing horses, in connection with others.

principal Sufferers, and were deter
mined to put stop to it. Conse-
quently, the country generally turned
ont, went to Moore's house. took him
out, shot him all to pieces, and left
him. His remains were not found
for two or three days, and were near
ly eaten up by the hogs. He was
recognized only by his shoes. AS a
matter of course no one knows who
did the deed.

hermitage, who is said to be implica-
ted with Moore, by the name of Car.
roll Pitts. He declared his intention
TO die before he would be taken. and
had few friends to back him. He
went to Hermitage, attended by only
one of his party, when fifty of the
opposite party rode up, surrounded
and called on him to surrender, which
he refused to do and started to run,
whereupon he was fired on by the
party and killed instantly, two balls
passing through his head"
