A RANGE 3
From Texas Ranges and 10 Robbed.

Mr.. knight is his name.
And Denton county, Texas, is his home
BY profession he Is . Texas Ranger, BY
force Of circumstances he j. a farm hand,
and under the influence Of whiskey, he Is
about as verdant specimen A. usually
strikes this high moral city Of Sedaiia.
Yes, he is q Ranger, Knight il.
He ranged away from wife and three
children in Denton county, and ranged up
iuto Missouri. Then he ranged arounl
until he ranged on 10 . farm and into EN-.
ployment near Jacksonville.
Here he Iabored at his rural occupation
for five or six months, milking the geese,
currying the roostera, riding the pigs to
water, and such other delightful pastoral
duties as usually falls to the lot o: the first
engineer on farm. BY due economy and
an advantageous remoteness from whisky,
he accumulated about $50.
Then il was that q rush Of home affection
flooded his soul, and he sighed Tor the
land Of the magnolia and the sight Of the
aforesaid wife and three children. So he
determined to return home, and left Cass
county for Texas. arriving here on the Mis-
souri, Pacific last night.
SedaIIa by Antes' gas light, barrin' the
mud holes, is an enchanting sight, and he
resolved to tarry a day or 80 and enjoy
metropolitan life little. In other words.
the Ranger Was on it, bigger'n a wolf.
He ranged around and into several
saloons this morning. and drank literal
share Of had whiskey. During his travels
he ran across an American gentleman of
Ethiopian parentage and a short pipe, and
tr-a.ei the colored man and brother twice
it is q singular thing that whlskey
tastes Just as good to darkey as to white
man.
While holding sweet converse with him,
the Ranger expressed desire to visit a
house of ill-fame, and he was accommodated
by being piloted to a colored bagnio
on the north side Of the railroad.
Here he fell into the hands Of . dusky
charmer named Relle Burke, the wife of .
white man, Felix Burke, who is now
serving out a term in the peniientiary.
After passing some time in the company iof
this sable Venus, the Ranger found out
that her hands had ranged into HE pockets
ard extracted his pocketbook, containing
several letters and S2D50-all the money
he had.
The Ranger then ranged out Of there
and ragged and ranged around for help
to recover his wealth. He met Officer Tur-
ner. who listened to his plant. and then ar
rested Belle and brought her to the Gala
bOose A warrant vac sworn out before
Justice Wardan charging Belle With rob.
berry, and Deputy Constable AL. Connors
served the same and brought her corpus be-
fore the Justice 70 answer to the charge.
The Ranger also appeared on the scene,
but he was 90 befuddled that he couldn't
tell much about the affair.
The Prosecuting Attorney, Mr.. Jackson
put in an appearance. and the case was con
tinued until tomorrow morning.
Belle Burk was released on bail.
The Ranger wiggled OF.

We are in receipt Of . poem under the

OF the Sedalia Times. The name Of Emett
Mac Donald is familiar to most Missouri
ans. He was a native of St. Louis, and
when the war broke out was one of the
most promising young attorneys in that
city. He eh.ered Frost's Brigade at Camp
jackson, and swore he would never cut his
hair until the Southern Confederacy
had established its Independence. After
the battle of Lexington. Gen. Price sent
Macdonald to 81. Louis under . aas OF
truce to arrange some basis OF exchange of
prisoners. lie was there two or three days
while the city was swarming with blue
coats, and his appearance in the streets
among them, preceded by . small white
flag, created great sensation, and crowds
followed him wherever he went. He fought
CALAMITY through the struggle, and was
killed near the close Of the wx at Hart
vile, Mo-, as was also Mr.. John N. Winner,
former Mayor of st. Louis. The poem 10
neat tribute to one who, whatever his
faults, was brave and chivalrous soldier.

suspension of business until further notice.
The bank is entirely solvent; but the
steady withdrawal Of deposits for the last
thirty days. together with the severe
pressure Of to-day, has exhausted our cash
balances The financial stringency Of the
past sixty days has been such that Of the
notes maturing only small proportion

NORTHROP'S ACCOUNTS.
His Excessive Charges a. L. =.
District Attorney in South
Carolina.

Special Ia the Register.
WASHINGTON, November H.
United States District Attorney Nor
throp, of South Carolina, by the excess
sive charges which he has been making
against the government, has created
some suspicion, and more or less COM
ment among the accounting officers of
the Treasury Department. The cx-
pcnsc oi the August term OF the
United States District Court at
Grecnville for witness fees and juroLS
alone is 81 800, and there were but three
trials. hi contrast with this, the cX-
pcnSes of the August term, 1871, at
Greenville, when Stone was District At
torney, was but 81 400 for torty-tive
trials.
The following is said 10 be the method
by which Northrnp ewelled his own
fees: In direct violation OF the law
which requires several charges against
the same individual for violation ofrcv-
enuc laws to be consolidated, he not
only neglected To consolidate, but where
the evidence showed only on" otlensc,
he divided the case into three, making
three cases and tripling the lee bills.
The docket shows three separate cases
against almost every defendant, with the
result that there are over 700 cases on
the calendar. The fees claimed 10y
Northrop for the last term Of the District
Court amonntod to over S4, 600 on pleas
OF guilty, which is double those OF 1877
and which were actually tried. This
excess OF fees aris, ; from the splitting
OF cases as above referred to in violation
Of law. The astonishing part OF the
matter is that these excessive charges
should have passed the scrutiny OF the
district Judge.
