A MISSOURI HIGHWAYMAN,
Bold Robberies, Quick Purruit and
Sudden Death.

On Tuesday last, q party of survey.
ors were out near Cover Station, Mis-
souri,, on the line of the st. Louis and
st. Joseph Railroad, which consisted
of z. Hyde and six others. He writes
to the st. Joseph Gazette the follow
ing account of one of the boldest high
way robberies on record:
While We were sitting In the road
examining field notes, to my surprise
a man had ridden alongside of US who
Immediately demanded our pocket
books. On looking up I saw a revolver
pointed at us, evidently in earnest
while he insisted ON the immediate de-
livery of every. thing in III posses
sion, saying he. was desperate as
hell, and would as lief kill three or
four rs not" The coveted pocket
books were handed out without much
hesitation, till some one said he had
left his at the house IN his coat. A
bright thought entered my brain, and
1 made the excuse that mine was also
in my coat the house.. The man with
the revolver then said, $50 fetch it
quick" This afforded me a very
plausible excuse to leave the crowd,
which 1 did without hesitation.
As soon as q safe distance was
reached l faced about to observe the
progress of events. | saw him COM
pei johnson to strip even to the shirt.
1 started back for arms. After the
robber had obtained the pocket-book
he rode leisurely a few rods away,
when he stopped and seemed to ex-
anime his booty, and then proceeded
ON his way; but when he had gone
about eight rods from us, in fair view,
he met a footman, which proved to be
George Newcomer, a peddler in the
employ of William Rifle, of Ray Coun-
ty. He took from him five dollars
and a good watch.
In the meantime we had obtained
some arms and commenced pursuit,
but the highwayman was we'll mount
ed, and we were afoot. We had, how
ever, sent a messenger back to rally
the n~eighborhood and obtain as many
horses as possible. At about two
miles we met Edwin Reed, who had
been robbed of six dollars and a watch.
By this time horsemen began to arrive,
and the neighbors were being aroused.
At about three miles VIC found that
he had also robbed James Shoemaker
of fifteen dollars.
AT this time, as near rs we could
calculate by reports, we were only
about twenty minutes behind the rob-
Der. Fresh horses were plentiful, and
the pursuit became vigorous. Within
an hour horsemen came within hailing
distance Of the man and ordered him
to halt, but he urged his horse to his
full speed, flourishing his revolver and
threatening death to any one who
should approach within range. But
the fresh horses we're too much for his
jaded animal, and he dismounted and
took shelter in a corn-feld belonging
to Joseph Nash. Fences were thrown
down, and directly VIM. Allen, who
had charged ON horseback, was sur
prised by the discharge of a revolver
at much more than arms length from
him. The robber fired a second shot ;
was his last. He received a
well aimed shot in the breast and fell
a dead man, without speaking. Before
he had went through our crowd he
had robbed Squire Smith.

These Bitters are destined to become very
popular, from the fact that they are genuine

derive their stimulus from the powerful
tonic nature of the roots and herbs Of which
they are composed, and hence their effect is
natural. We have had the pleasure of tested

for the WHITE-PINE COMPOUND is in

It Is the very best medicine for Coughs and

once used it will ever be without it. We
speak from our own knowledge it is sure
to kill a cold, and pleasant as sure. The

prove the greatest remedy for Kidney diff

doubt it, so many testimonials come to us
from well known men. Besides, the charae-

will not countenance what is wrong. For
years q Baptist clergyman, studying med
cine to find remedies for his ailments, with
delicate consumptive look, standing with
one foot upon the grave, he made the dis
covery which has saved himself, and called
out from hundreds of others the stronger
testimonials possible. We have known DR..
Poland for years, and never knew a more con-
scientious. honest upright, man: and we are
glad to state that we believe whatever he
saws about his WHITE PINE COMPOUND.
