A Deaf and Dumb Man Hears and
Speaks.

A farmer living miles south Of Rock
port, Atchison county, Mo-. was busily en-
gagged in the rounds of his avocatiOn one
day last week, when he observed q strong,
hearty stranger, seeming about 80 years Of
age, approaching him through the front
gate. The dogs barksd furiously, but he
needed them not. His countenance was
sad and mournful, and his steps measured
friendly manner, but the stranger only
shook hrs fingers before his ears, and BY
this sad and silent language tod the farmer
that those organs were already destroyed,
and that no sound had been conveyed to
his brain. He also touched his tongue to
tell the farmer that that member could not
perform its proper functions-it could not
artieulate. The sad mute stranger stood
before the farmer and looked upon him
with an imploring look. lie then produc-
ell book somewhat soiled. indeed, but vet
book. Two pages in the book were
printed, one in English and the other IN
German. The English run about as fol-
lows:
The bearer Of this is a poor deaf and
and dumb man who can neither hear nor
speak. His father was drowned at sea some
years ago, and il is his sad lot to have to

Farmer h. paused a moment, gaped
at the pitiable object before him, then
wiped the preparation from his face with
his shirt sleeves, and took the book from
the poor mans hand, and read the above.
First pity and then compassion took possess
sion Of his soul. He looked mp. The
strangers eyes were full upon him, asd
they seemed to say give me three grains Of

he tried to tell his tale OF woe. The farmer
returned the book with one hand and
the other into his pants pockets,
elbow deep, a peculiar glow coming over
his face, he produced twist of "long-
green" "legaltender" tobacco, which he 1t
once presented to the stranger, saying:
"Take one chew only" The stranger bit
the tobacco and returned it gathered his
froth like gathering storms. then walked
a way a few PAGES turned round, and ansrily
said: "You id grangers would not give
a man anything to eat or drink or any
money to buy it, If he were deaf, dumb,
hall blind and sick" The farmer ran to-
ward the house exclaiming, "Oh, Betsy,
Betsyi run here quick. I've wrought .

ne yer say ANYTHING about 'backer' anymore,

ROBBED ON THE ROAD.
and Knocked Down by q
Rogue.

An individual who bears the euphonistic
cognomen of Franklin Marion Titmouth
perambulating peregrinator from the region
Of country near Nevada City, has been rob
bling John d. Wilson, farm hand from
Barton county. The two, it appears. were
footing it for the purpose of
COUNTING THE RAILROAD TIES
between certain stations on the railroad,
and when near Beaman Station, Titmouth
struck Wilson sudden blew on the right
ear, knocking him down, after which he
robbed him of Eve dollars. The rogue then
stopped counting the railroad ties. and ran
great portion of the way toward Sedalia,
with Wilson, who had recovered his self
possession, following closely in his rear.
The race was an animated one until the
spires Of Sedalia rose before them. Wilson
says that he might have rode In the cars ~
he had money enough to pay his fare, but
being Of
SOCIABLE DISPOSITION,
he footed it for the sake Of the pleasant
society he expected to find in the company
Of Titmouth. Upon reaching Sedalia he
kept sight OF Timoutth, and swearing out
warrant before Justice Clark, the inhuman
communist was committed in default Of
bail.
ACHANGE OF VENUE
was made to Judge Warden. where Tit.
worth swore he was not out of town ut all,
but Wilson swears that they saw . negro
and three white men driving cattle out Of a
wheat field, and Titworth asked them il
they were herding cattle, and they said no.
The negro was alone. Judge Warden has
given Wilson until ten o'clock Tomorrow to
produce this evidence.
Later information shows that Titworth
reached town in the evening and put up at
Parkes' boarding house, and Wilson caL,e
in on the construction train.
