SHOT AND ROBBED
Charles Moore, Of Pulaski. Shot and
Robbed for the Paltry Sum Of Twenty
Five Dollars.


Charles Moore, Of Pulaski. Shot and
Robbed for the Paltry Sum Of Twenty
Five Dollars.
On Friday evening about eight o'clock,
one Posey, well-know In the neighbour
hood OF Pulaski, illinois, entered the
grocery store of Mr. Charles Moore at
that place and began conversing in the
usual friendly manner with Mr.. Moore,
who was behind his counter. After talk
ing With Posey for some time, Mr.. Moore
began to prepare for closing up. He
went to his money drawer and began
counting out the receipts OF the day, and
after finishing was about to place the
money IN his pocket-book, when Poscy,
who had watched him with seeming
indifference all the while, suddenly drew
revolver and shot Moore through the
breast. He then seized the pocket-book
and money, and rushed out of the store.
The shot attracted several of Mr, Moore's
neighbors to the store who found the
unfortunate man lying behind the
counter fnsensible. He was removed to
his house, where medical aid was ad-
ministered. His wounds are of such a
nature that 1t is said he will die. AS
soon as Mr.. Moore was restored to con.
sciousness, and was able to give the name
Of the wouid-be murderer, search was
instituted Tor Posey, but he had made
good his escape, and up to yesterday
afternoon, no tidings Of him had been
learned. The sum secured by P0sey,
was about twenty-five dollars. He is
man about five feet nine inches high,
rather heavily built. He wore white
hat, dark coat aud pants, and white
shirt. lie has large scar on one of his
cheeks. His weight is about one hun
dred and sixty pounds. MIR. Moore is
quite a prominent man in Pulaski county.
He was the democratic candidate tor sher-
i'll of that county two years ago, and has
many friends, and the greatest indigna-
ton is felt against Posey, with whom it

Is close, indeed. They are connected
by that wondrous elastic link, the SYM
pat letc nerve, which communicates the
abnormal sensations OF the organ Of di.
gcstiOn to that of thought. Now, if
digestion is disordered. the brain, being
the great local point OF the nervous sys-
TEN, all the nerves are in some degree
affected. The main cause OF nervous
trouble is impaired digestion, and that is
usually produced by weakness OF the
stomach. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
rectiiies this, and overcomes nervous de-
bility by lntusing increased energy into
the operation OF the organs of nutrition.
Through the agency OF this benelicent
tonic, not only are the nerves vItallled,
but the entire organism acquires yigor

bcrs sufficient to make themselves felt in all
that goes TO make up the commercial and bus

peaceful and industrious, which are national
characteristics. but the Germans of Wichita
are as euterprising as though to the western

]. G. Fraker Arrested in Texas.

Deputy U. S. Marshal G. d. Jones received
dispatch last Thursday that j. c. Fraker,
late president Of the First National Bank,
had been identified by means of photograph
and taken into custody by sheriff who had
previously received a description from Jones.
Charley left on the next train TO take charge
Of and return the prisoner TO this state. We
are not one of those who ever rejoices over
the calamity OF a fellow being however exal-
ted or low bis station, or however palpable
his guilt, much less over that of one whom we
have personally known for series of years
as one bearing the reputation OF an unim-
peachable integrity and a generous nature
eyinced by numberless charities. And while
we, with others, suffered great embarrassment
financially and personal cbagrin as the result
of J. c. Fraker's criminal carelessness or
criminal actions and designs that wrecked the
bank and made its president fee an impend-
ing vengeance, we nevertheless scorn the
spirit evineed by some when the news OF his
arrest was announced. The man that kicks
tie under dog is no man at all. Nine times
out OF ten the individual most vehement in
denuacations OF the eriminay unfortunate
deserves the most watching. Our own judg
ment is and has been that j. c. Fraker never
contemplated defrauding cody his friends or
patrons, but driven to desperation in his e.
forts 10 uphold an institution whose bottom
fell out during the panic OF rs, with $4,000.
worthless Texas cattle paper in Its vaults.
and to sustain his own name. home and finan-
cial reputation. he committed the crimes with
which he Is charged In this we may be
mistaken. The result we all know-some OF
Us to our sorrow. He violated the national
law TO which he must atone. and this nor other
excuse viii stand for sufficient apology, nor
the fact that from small beginnings as a poor
boy until past the meridian of lite he had not
only maintained affair repute but encompasseG
much that was praiseworthy and honorable.
He attempted too much and the fall was cor
respondingly disastrous; still and notwith-
standing we in our heart despise the spirit
gloat aud triumph over a downfall that may
have been marked with crime. While it is
morally, legally and from every other consid-
Grafton right that J. 9. Fraker should be ar
committed still there stand his motherless
children pleading Tor a father in disgrace,
there the mental anguish and bhghted hopes
of the innocent vile OF twelvemonth, and
be who can laugh at the sad picture musl be
lost TO the best instincts of human nature.
