THE ST. CLAIR COUNTY TROUBLES.
The Popular Feeling In the County
Threats Against The County Judges.
THt Tntis Ranublcau

APPLETON CITy, Mo, Dec 1.-THE railroad
unplsasantness Of this county La assuming
still more gigantic proportions. The stolen
tax books have not been returned and IL Ia
feared that they have been destroyed so that
the county will be compelled to have an en-
tircly new set, which will take from three to
4 i've months to make out, and put the county
TO- some $4,000 expenses. The armed citizens
who took the tax books from the courthouse
left letter for the county court, in which the
entire county court was peremptorily COM
ii1anded to hand In their designations or suf-
ter the penalty Of hanging by the neck utl-
I'll dead, The court preferred the former
proposition, and have sent their designations
10 the Governor who has accepted the
sarne, TO take effect when their successors are
| appointed. When this will take place 1t Is
citizens will have anything to do with the
position OF county Judge. The citizens are not
entirely to blame for the course they have
taken, as the last court was appointed by the
q reward by their being, in office BY, some Il
h boldly asserted that the whole affair of APP
pointing the court and our assessor was
Bargain and sale alfair--one agreeing to work
for the other. This has semblance of truth,
TO say the least, as the present assessor was
appointed by the court under very peculiar
circumstances. he not having any petition,
while another applicant had over three hun.
dred names to his; but the court took
Gardner. This created great Indignation oil
over the county, and as soon after the court
was detected in prevaricating, all confidence
was lost iii their integrity. At that time they
later they have thought better of the request
and acted as they wererequested to do by the
citizens In mass convention assembled. Much
Indignation liz felt throughout the county
against Thad NJ. Gardner, the assessor, for
the part he has taken In public affairs for the
past few years, and some talk has been in
dulged In OF demanding his resignation. No
extreme measures have been taken yet, but
threats are very plentiful, and II they are car
ried out there will not be much left Of Osceoa
or some of its citizens. However time alone
can lnravel the future.

the failure to accept the right upon these
