rated Farmer Chases his
Sou-In-I.aw with an Axe.

On the estate of Mr.. William More,
some miles West of Sedalia Is . tenant
farmer in whose family resides . widowed
daughter with one child. This bereaved
relict was young, pretty and withal charm
ing in manner and fascinating in conversa-
ton. After due season Of mourning and .
reasonable amount Of regret for the dear
departed, the pretty widow began to think
Of the delights OF welded bliss. and soon
she SET Her CAP
and captured IN admirer. Whether
like another Ruth she vent CLEAN
ing in the fields Of . neighber,ng
Boaz, or whether the young farmer simply
fell . victim to charmes which here in
Missouri ere Is potent - those Of the pretty
Moabitisb widow matters little for the pur-
poser Of this story. Il will suffice to cay
that she captured him and in time hey
were married. But before her fasner
spouse had shuflled Of Of this mortal coil
he left her . single pledge Of his a6ectaon.

and when the second marriage took
place. bsrgained to keep the babe
The young wife pleaded in vain for
Its possession. The old people refused to
give il up. So she resorted u strasagem to
gain il aud one day recently vent to her
fathers home and stole il away. Then there
VAS c0mm0tion in the household. The old
lady shr:eked and cried and refused TO b
comforted because the young one was
not. The old gentleman sought eonso-
lation in theeup which sometimes cheers and
inebriates. He came to Sedalia Monday and
having fortified himself with copions liba-
tons of blue lightning, proceeded on his
return home to the residence Of his son-in-
law, determined to get possession Of that
baby or
DIE IN the ATTEMPT.
But he found his daughter obdurats
and her husband Indifferent. His
entreaties proving unavailing he
armed himself with an axe, and
rushed to the rescue Of the little one. That
gray haired man with blood IN his eyes,
and giittering axe uplifted vas IN ap-
pall,ng spectacle. The old man came on
like the rush Of thunderbolt, bat the
young people did not stay to encounter the
onset. They abandoned the house and
took to fight. Pausing not upon the order
Of their going they went At once. To use
an expressive vulgarisuf they got up and

The chase led through corn field to .

security. But it WAS thought advisable to
have the old man arrested and bound over

tice OF the peace Was applied to and .
warrant issued and pat in the hands Of an
officer Who took the beligerent grandfather
into custody. The case Vas tried yester-
day. and it il presumed that the family
difficulty has by this time been adjusted.

THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED
opposite the residence Of Mr.. James Boul-
