A Coroner u an officer elected to I'll
on dead people.
Most Coroners. after they sit down
On dead man for about an hour and
study right hard. generally arrive II
the conclusion that the man Is dead. OF
be would kick against it.
The next thing to end out is. what
occasioued the mans death. Six men
generally help the Coroner to find the
road the deceased took. and they gen.
orally find it and . verdict. A Coro-
ners jury's verdict Is sometimes tear
fully and wonderfully made. and If the
subject amt dead, that verdict kills
him quicker n wink.
There are other duties that the Coro-
ner is liable to perform in case of mer.
gency, and it is one Of these particular
duties that has developed upon Coroner
Evans.
About six weeks ago . Kansas City
party levied upon . portion Of Dan
Rice's circus that Vas passing through
this county. Constable Conner took
possession Of it and the stock, con-
sisting Of horses. trick mules, . car
riage. bulldog. ETC.. were placed in
Ed. Goodwins stable to await future
developments.
They have remained there ever since.
The. horses have got sleek and fat
The trick mule 90 Is full ofjoy and cuss-
edness be goes out and stands on his
head every half hour Of the day. while
the bulldog twist HE tail 30 tight with
delight that it lifted his hind legs clear
OF the ground.
On last night t~o men named Crump
and Knowles went to Jno. Stewart,
Deputy Circuit Clerk, and got out .
writ Of replevin for the recovery Of the
stock. They made an affidavit that
the property Was worth one hundred
add gave . bond for 500.
The papers were placed in the hands
Of the Coroner, - the Sheriff is made
Q party in the suit, he also having
levied IN attachment upon tie circus
secondary to Constable Conner in b.
halt Of another party.
The party in possession Of the prop
srty refuse TO give it up. saying that
the bond Of one hundred dollars 10 in
sufficient. the property being worth
over thousand. Crump and Knowles
ny the bond 10 sufficient, and that if
Coroner Evsns don't give them the
they viii mandamus him and
sue him on his bood.
The Doctor sat down and diagnosed
the case. Nov ifthe outfit would only
die. he could hold a inquest and slap
the whole business into the cemetery
in half an hour. But the horses amt
dead, and the trick msle can kick the
ball Of q flagstaff 100 feet high. with
both hands tied behind him. The bull
dog amt dead; but on tho the contra
y, he Is putting ID al bic extra time
10 fling his teeth fol future usefalnes,
for be has . mission 10 perform.
Meanwhile, Coroner Evans u IN q
predicament. He IL surrounded on al
'ides BY lawyers and parties With oppo-
'ite Interests. and the circus Is the bone
,f contentioa. If there was only IN
the Doctor could make him
70 round when the band begins to play
md cit down n some Of these fellows,
which would give him relief.
The other portions Of the circus that
we're attached at Lees Summit, Kan
- City and Wyandotts have been ~
leased and are now in 81. Louis, which
D Dan Rioe's headquarters 1t present.
How this portion Of the Grand
'Aggravation" viii pan out remains to
b. seen, but We would give . hundred
thousand dollars for that trick mule to !
kirk delinquent Subscribers to death. |
LATER-A lawyer arrived here

but the Kansas City parties gave 81
