The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1877-07-17

One of Sedalia's nice young men vi-ited
St. Louis the ohter day, and was the sub
ject Of . severe practical joke. perpetrated BY
afriend. Onedsy while they were strolling
around the city, the friend proposed tina,
they 60 and try an electric health lift.
Nothing 10Th to test his strength on the
machine, the young man consented, and
they forthwith proceeded up the street sew
eral blocks to where one was kept, and be-
gan to test one another's strength by seeing
which could lift the most.
1t ia in order to say right here. that the
friend of the Sedalia youth had everything
arranged with the man who owned the
health lift, and when he took hold Of the
handle, the man was to turn on the cleo
tricity. Everything went along smoothly
for while, each one testing himself several
times until the young man from Sedalia an
nounced his intention OF trying is just once
more, and If he didn't lift any more than
he bad before, he would give it up and re-
turn to the hotel. He slipped up TO the
machine. confident that he could pull the
thing out by the roots. When he had got
firm hold on the handles his friend winked
1t the man TO turn on the electricity. As
the young man felt the electricity, he tried
to let go; but rs the current was turned on
nearly full force, he was unable TO do 80.
He screamed and yelled, and made every |
effort in his power to get away from the |
cursed thing, but it had no intention Of let |
ting 20, and only stuck the cE,ser. Ills !
friend went up to him, slapped him in the
face, spit ON him, turned his packets inside |
out, kicked him, and done everything he
could to prolong his agony. At last, when
he vas thoroughly exhausted, the man
turned IF the current. At first he supposed
that he had been modified by a party of
roughs or something of that sort, but on
looking round, and seeing his friend lean
ing up against the corner of house, nearly
convulsed with laughter, he gathered up his
things, went straight to the hotel, where he
settled his bill, collected his baggage to-
gether, and took the first train for Sedslia.
He save when he visits St. Louis again he
wont he caught mapping, and will
yet have revenge on his friend for the trick
he played on him.
Everybody in Sedalia knows the particn-
lars of the affair. and il anybody wants a
black eye, all they have to do is 10 step up
to that young man and ask him how much
he can lift

HORROR AT Upton.
An Entire Familv Poisoned by a
Negro Woman.

Friday morning at breakfast the Family Of
Mr.. C. c. Maclay, Of Upton, Moniteau
county, were poisoned by the infusion of
arsenic in milk. The family consisted Of
Mr. Maclay his wife and child, Mrs. Brown
and Mrs. X. L. Mccullough, of Helena,
Montana, who is on visit to her husbands
mother and relatives. 4 negro woman, a
cook in the family is supposed to have ad-
ministered the
POISON IN REVENGE
for some rebuke given by her mistress.
The negro was arrested AZ soon as the cir
cumstances of the poisoning became known
and was put in Jail, to await the result OF
the poison, which it is believed will at
least prove fatal to the children and most
probably Mrs. Mccullough. The excite
ment in Upton
SEEMS VERY HIGH
and If it Is shown that the woman did ac-
tually administer the poison. there is no
doubt she will be summarily dealt with.
The doctors entertain no hope Of saving the
entire family.
