Editor Bazoo:
The citizens of our quiet ard classic tow
Of Georgetown had an unusually lively
day yesterday, the 10Th, commencing early
in the morning with the report that mar
had drowned himself in Muddy Creek al
the iron bridge On the wagon road io
Hughesville.
Early on Sunday morning a small boy
found on the bridge full suit Of clothing,
mans IS first reported, excepting the hat
To the shirt was pinned lengthy note. ad-
dressed to one Of the most respectable young
ladies in Georgetown, which note was
respectful and afiectionate but sensationally
worded, bidding her last farewell, and
that when she should read it that he would
be cold aud stark m his watery grave'
that he had committed suicide and on her
account, because she had rejected him, and
presuming TO adyi,e her Of her deception,
etc. The report soon spread throughout
the town, and many cirizens prepared for
tine search for the drowned man, and de-
parted 20 the spot, now known as the latest
''iovers leap,"-the iron bridge place Of
fering unusual attractions and facilities for
such kind Of revenge What did they find,
every body inquiries. Well, they found a
pair of No.. Z boots, a pair Of pants that
would liz lit for man six feet six inches
in height and proportionately large, coat
supposed to have been made for the KEN
lucky giant, shirt that would tit Commo-
dore Mutt, and a vest that would fit a
smallei man than either. The party held
a short inques: over the clothing, resolved
a verdict that it came to its demise, by
long, hard and natural usage, and that the
man who SO heartles.ly deserted it after
such faithful service, and especially one
whom it wonld fit, ought to drown himself,
but in some other creek; ard after foldin
i, in an ambulance, provided for the occa-
sion, departed in the direction Of the
Georgetown cemetery.
What the object Of the perpetration OF
this practical jake was, Is Vet to he seen If
ever found out, as there was M name signed
to the note left with the clothing. and no
foundation in fact for such ridicuie.
Ahont the time the town became quiet
again the cOlored people met at their
church to have class meeting as reported,
which class it appears WAS principally COM
posed Of females. who went through, some
of them, what is known a. the pugilistic
One Of them WAS ON trial,

Next came loose horse running with a

serious injury was done.

And thus permitted the excited world to

A FOOLS BRAND
How q Morgan County Constable
Made q Fool of himself
And Baked the Police Of Sedalia.

In December last, Logan Anderson made
an assault with intent TO kill upon the per-
son Of a nan named Overhaul, near Yer.
sailles, Morgan county. Anderson, who Is
reported worthless and desperate man
struck Overhaul in the head with a navy
revolver, aud for long time his victim
wavered he: ween life and death from the ef-
fleets of his injuries, but finally recovered.
Anderson Was arrested by the s'erif OF
Morgan county, but in some manner sue
ceed.d in M aking his escape. A reward Of
SO wa. offered Tor his arrest, but
he succeeded in eluding the vigilance Of
the officers. At certain times he wOul1
make hiS appearance a, his old home. and
would Toe seen and recognized by The neigh
bor., but before the authorities could Law
their hands upon HIM, he would disappear
a. suddenly a. he came.
Yesterday morning Anderson entered
store ON Richland creek, in Morgan
county, 10 make some small purchases, and
his face 10 conceal mole or birihmark Nv
which he could easily be identified. Con
stable Meyers, who was in the store, imme-
diately recognized him, and As he was un-
known to Anderson, entered into converse
ton with him, during which he learned
that since ing his escape Anderson had
IL v.1 TO-
at times making visits to his old home.
. lie also said he was then on his way 10
this city.
The Constable then left for his house,
couple of miles distant, for a warrant for
the arre-t of Anderson, and his arms and
after having procured these he
mounted his horse and started for Sedalla
to oyertake and arrest his man. At Haw
creek he overlook Anderson and concluded
10 pas. HIM and make the arrest in this city.
Getting in here last night, Constable
Myers informed Marshal Smith Of the OBJ
ject oi his mission, who Immediately gave
him h;s hearty CO operation.
The Marshal procured him pair OF
handouts, and knowing where Anderson
would Le most likely 10 be found, dispatched
Officers Gossage and Connors 20 assist the
Constable. II was then noticed that the
aforesaid Constable manifested more
timiaity than il consistent with the efficien-
CIV Of his Office, and notwithstanding he had
the assistance of the police and legal war
rant for Anderson's arrest, he could not be
prevailed upon to do his duty when the
house where Anderson WAS supposed to be
was entered.
Ia fact this Morgan County Constable got
So worked up and excited tina. he would
not only ont do his duty, but by his foolish
timid,ty baiked Officers Connors and Cos
sage in their efforts to capture their man.
Finally Constable Myers mounted his
horse and struck out for his native hills OF
Morgan, carrying with him the warrant,
and here the matter will probably end.

During the past winter 500 tramps have been
entertained at the county house. What seems
most strange is that each succeeding night, or
Saturday evening, brought new lot. 1t was
supposed by all that they bushwhacked around
the county during the day, and went to the
county house to remain over night and Sun
days; but such is not the case. There seems
to be, and is, vast army that keep up con-
tinual tramp, tramp, from one county to an
other, and from one State to another These
men have formed such idle habits that they do
not search for work. and will not do il when
offered them. There seems no way to stop

The effects Of the passage of the act, author
