Welln In DeKalbC County.

The st. Joseph Herald is responsible
for this sensational story. Last Satur-
day, while Casper Hines and a number
of men were haying in Polk township,
DeKalb county. Casper went to a well
to get a drink and while there, he
thought he saw the top of a mans head
in the bottom of the well. He pushed a
pole down to the object and upon with
drawing it found human hair on the end
Of it. The facts were o heralded
through the ne;ghborhood and numbers
visited the place, but nc n was brave
enough to descend into the well and
solve the mystery. The affair has so
worked upon the minds ofthe people that
no one will go near it. The well is
near a house which was burned some
time ago. The well is noted stopping
place for campers, and it is supposed
the man in the well belonged to n Of
these companies. The affair will, in all
probability, remain unsolved until
another generation comes upon the scene
in Polk township. or until Gabriel blows
his trump and summons all mankind to
come forth.

Nodaway County Items


From the Democrat.
Another horse has been stolen, this
time a short distance south of town.
One day last week a Mr.. Worthing-
ton living in Nodaway township, drove
1913 head of Texas or Indian cattle
across the county just west of Maryville.
Six miles northwest of town he was ar
rested and appeared before Squire
Schenk of Polk township. A jury as
sessed his punishment at S103, or 81 a
head and he took the cattle back over
the same road by which they were
brought. He expressed a perfect will
ingness to abide by the law, and the
jury assessed the fine at just as low a
figure as the law would allow.
From the Republican,
John Herren brought six hides in
town to sell on Monday morning, taken
from his cattle that had died of Texas
fever.
w. A. Sewell, of Hughes township,
lost four cows last week by what is
thought to have been the ''dry murrain."
George H. Woods lost two cows last
week, Mr.. DUNCAN six, and another
neighbor five. All these ON the range
between the Observation-Disclosures and
the Platte.
The Maryville Public Schools COM
mence their fall session next Monday.
"A banking institution has been
opened in Hopkins, Mo.
Several towns in this vicinity will
not permit melons to be sold within
their limits.
Mrs. L. II. Case. daughter Of fudge
Terhune, departed this life Friday
morning, August 10, 1873, after a long
illness with consumption.
The accounts we hear from differ
ent parts of the county, concerning the
condition of the corn crop, indicate tina,
Nodaway county has not suffered SO
much from drouth as the neighbOring
counties. 1t seems to be the general
opinion that we shall have a two-thirds
crop.

BASE BALL.
The Modocs and Pastimes at st.
.Joseph.


On Friday afternoon last was played the second
game between The Modoc and Pastime clubs, Ut
the race track, near St. Joseph. The Pastimes
had been strengthened by the addition of several
strong players since their game in this city, and
played q much stronger game than before. Mr..
II. McPherrsn, Of st Louis, umpired the game.
lie was prompt and strict in his decisions, and,
although some of the Modocs Were dissatisfied,
W. think he tried TO do the fair thing, although,
like all umpires, he made mistakes. George
Uhl most shamefully interfered with the UNI
pire's duty, calling strikes and fouls with the
purpose of disconcerting and misleading the
Modoc players. TIT umpire should have
promptly stopped this, but he didn't. The gam
commenced with the Pastimes at the bat, who
made three runs the first inning, disposing of the
Modocs for a blank. The Mod0cs could not get
the hang Of George Uhl's very puzzling Slows
and in the first six innings scored but nine runs,
while their opponents had seventeen. In the
seventh and eighth innings they made twelve and
ten runs respectfully, standing at the end of the
eighth inning, Modocs 81, Pastimes %, the for
mer leading for the first time. The latter Their
made six more runs, when the Modocs, through
bad luck, went out after making but one run
the game ending IS to 80 against the Savannah
club. Most of the runs made by the Pastimes
are to be credited to Hamp. Giddings' unprece-
denied poor work behind the bat. AS it was, he
did better than any one else could have done
with such swift pitching, but he came far from
~equaling himself, and it was emphatically one
of his sson,' days. Abe Caldwell, besides
pitching well all through and fielding to perfec-
ton, led the score at the bat for both clubs, ma

From the Star

-Nfr. J. X. Jones, of the western
part of Union Township, had the mis-
fortune to lose his dwelling house by
fire on last Saturday morning.
"A scamp silently entered the stable
of Alonzo Cure one night last week
and stole therefrom u new set of har-
ness valued at thirty-five dollars.
We learn from Mr.. John Ewing of
Smith Township. that crops in his
neighborhood are looking fine. Wheat
and oats are turning out first rate, and
the corn crop will average fully As
well as last years crop.
Mr.. Sylvester Myers, living two
miles west of Grant City, was kicked
on the knee last Thursday by a horse.
The pain was so intense that he neither
slept nor ate food for several days. He
is now getting along very well.
