Marshal Kelly received telegram from
Mr.. q. B. Jones, the City Msr-hal Of Gin.
ton, Sunday night, to arrest young MAJ
by the Name Of U. Il. McCr~llis, who would
arrive in Sedalia on the $50 passenger train
The M'rshal arrested his man when the
train arrived in the city, and took him t.
the cooler, after which he notified the Mar
shat Of Clinton that he had arrested Nc
Crelis. Another dispatch was received from
Jones yesterday morning, telling Marshal
Kelly to hold McCr~llis, as he Was charged
wirh stealing a vali.e at Clinton, and that
parties would b. down :ast night to identity
him.
The Marshal turned McCrellis loose yes
terday morning, alter he had lain in the
cooler all day, md he Immediately skipped
1ut.
Wien the VI. X. 4 T. train arrived from
the south, la-t night. man BY the name of
L"e 60, ID Of the Cars, and seeing Marshal
Kelly, went to him and told him that he
Was the man that McCrellis had stolen the
vaiise from. and that he was ready to iden-
lily him as the man. The Marshal told Lee
that he had turned McCreliis loose, and
he didn't know where he was. OF course,
Lee felt a little indignant at the way the
marshal had conducted the affair, and some
words passed between them. Lee then left
and went up town, where he soon after got
into Il fuss with railroad man in front of
the Wine Hall.
The marshal appearing on the scene. ar
rested the railroad man, and was Juggling
hum of to the cooler, when some friends in
teriered, and told the marshal he had ar
rested the wrong man. The marshal then
turned the railroad man loose and collared
Lee. who he succeeded in locking up.
Lee remsined in the cooler all night, and
this morning WAS given his liberty, and
started out to find McCrellis. Lee says
that the vaiise stolen from him by McCrel-
lis was the only property he had in the
world, and As he had expended between
fifty and sixty dollars to recover his
property. and failed when jus, on the eve Of
success, that he was very naturally indig-
nant at the way the business had been man
aged by the MARSHAL.
McCrellis has, no doubt. skipped the
town with his ill-gotten gains, and BY this
time il far away. 1t il to be hoped that
Lee will catch him aud recover his prop
erty, as he appears to be a hard working
man, and one who could lily afford to lose
the vaiise, which contained all OF his
clothes.

Jim Younger.

From the -. Paul Pioneer
Jim Younger, of the Younger brothers,
confined in the penitentiary, and whose
deeds at Mortified are still fresh in the
memory Of every Minneso,ian. is in a fair
way Of shutting OF this mortal coil ia
short time in the penitentiary. In his cap
iure, it will be remembered. he vas shot in
the mouth, and the upper left jaw is gone,
rs is nearly all Of the an,rum. His wounds
have nearly all healed, but occasionally
small pieces Of bone work themselves out,
keeping his mouth very sore and inAamed,
these sores are almost constantly discharg,ng
matter substance. From the loss of his
palate and upper left JAZZ, il is very difficult
for him to masticaie his food, which j.
taken with but little relish. He il unable
to eat other than articles 81 food which can
lie taken easily. having but three upper
teeth, aud these are on the right side Of the
mouth. A dentist visited him day or two
since to see il n plate could not be fitted to
aid him in eating, but ii vas decided that
It would only irritate his month, without
being Of any benefit. The fact that bullet
is still Embedded in his mouth, ard that it
Is nearly all Of the time sore. with no hope
Of getting better, and slowly but surely
growing worse, shows that it il only ques-
ton of time rs TO how soon death will result;
from the injuries. Jim is man Of iron
will. and the amount Of suffering he has
endured already would have crushed one
less determined or hopeful. He is con.
tinually in pain, and often,imes very
severe. Though he says but little, It il
plain to zee that he is discouraged and
down-heared, and is slowly growing
weaker. OF course. it ia only matter Of
conjecture a. to how coon he will get his
freedom through death. He is in . bad
shape, and has but little hope Of recovery.
The State may be relieved Of caring for him
in short time, and possibly his endurance
and determination may carry him through
two or three years At the longest.

A BRUTAL ATTACK.
John McCrory, in Fit Of Jea' ousy,
Knocks an Eye Out of ]. H. Cham
berlln's Head.

tak-;ic-C Chronicle.
4 serious sffrsy took place about II
o'clock last night, ON the corner III Third
aud Mcss,nie streets. 1t appears from the
account given by one Of the parties CON-
cerned, that one John McCrory, a cooper,
living in the southern part al the city, ans:
hearing the reputation of being dangerous
character. was paying attentions to the
daughter Of q. K Chambeslin, living ON
Nas-anie street. between Third aud Fourth.
Chan.'-rlin had on varions occasions init
mated To NcCrurv that his suit had best be
discontinued, As the Young lady Was en-
vsyed Ia a gentleman al u more reputable
character. At this McCrory seems to have
taken offen>e, though he continued in
friendly intercourse with the girls family.
Last night. near the time stated above.
McCrory called nj the re- 'iience III Chamber
lin and asked his pardon for Lis previous
conduct, assuring him that, knowing that
the young lady Was engaged. he would de-
sist i" his attempts to win her love. Cham
berlin, nj that, hsst-ned To assure the young
man that he entertained no resentment,
and willingly forgave him. Shortly after,
4 si-ier-in-law of McCrorv called at the
house "a: Chsmherlin and asked hi. daughter
Ia e. home with her. The young Lady Cum
-ented, aud together they vent out. Cham
berlin, suspeciing that all Vas not right
som after proce~ied to McCrory's house to
lonk after his daughter, hut finding her not
there, he continued Ia the house III a
n-iglbor, where he was told his
daughter had gone. While Crossing the
street, he was met by MsCrory, xho a. ell
him where he Vas going, and without wait
ing for an answer dealt him n stunning
blow in the fare with club. repeating the
blow second time. withou, giving Cham
berlin an opportunity To either say u word
or To defend himself.
Chamberlin staggered home, bleeding
profu-~ly. DIR. Long was summoned, and
upon examination found that the left eve
had been completely destroyed, while Sc
we're cash almost severed the eye-lid. The
wound vas sewed up, but the doctor despairs
Of saving the eve.
Up to late hour McCrory had not been
found. and il Is thought that he left the
city to escape punishment Like Cham
berlin. he is a cooper, owning a shop ON the
corner Of Third and Mesanis streets.

From the latest which We get from q gen.

who recently arrived in Marshall, for the
purpose ii starting a saloon. Was refused a
license by the town authorities. Bent upon
establishing grog shop, he selected
Weldon Springs, about five miles north OF
the town or the line Of the new railroad,

RED MURPHIES.
The Blue Ribbon in the Indian
Territory.

One would think the Indian Territory
would be the last place for a Murphy
movement. but an exchange says that the
good people Of Mu<kogee have organized a
raid on all liquor selling in the Territory,
and have pe,itioned the Indian Agent, S.
w. Marston, TO revoke all licenses and for
bid the traffic. The petition is very gen.
orally signed by teachers. missionaries,
merchants, Indians. and two CT the persons
who have held licenses, and has resulted in
revok,ng all but two licenses, with strong
probability that these, also. will soon he
cancelled. The following are the reasons
given for asking that tue trade be pro.
hibited
1t. Because the traffic is in direct vio-
laiion Of treaty stipulation.
ID. Ii il were true which We deny) that
this traffic is necessary for mechanical or
medicinal purposes there is mo- occasion for
il here, because almost all goods and medi-
cines prepared by the use of alcohol are
imported and no, manufactured here
Sd. We believe the sale Of intoxicating
liquors on physicians certificate in an ig-
norant and immoral community adds
largely the sin Of hypocricy and absolute
lying, To that Of drunkenness.
4th. Because it opens the food gates OF
debauchery and crime at our doors. with
out any form If resistance. Ii the War de-
partment, with every license. would organ.
ize court to try all criminals made BY
this traffic, and would furnish calabooses
and jails for their imprisonment, and faith
full officers to execute the Law against Of
Tenders, We should then feel tina; whilst
this department WAS setting mad dogs louse
among us il was sufficiently thoughtful OF
our interest To furnish weapons Of defense.
Lastly. We object because We are of the
opinion that the licenses are not revoked
and forbidden the prospects Of those tribes
Of Indians, now 40 bright and encouraging,
will be forever blasted in their utter deg.
radiation, il not destruction.

HEAD FIRST!
Through the Jail Wall Went Young
Randall,


Two weeks ago the SUNDAY MORNING
BAzoO gave an account Of the arrest Of ,
young fellow who gave his name ~ Fer
dir and X .ndall. aud who claimed to he the
son of a banker in Evansville, Ohio.
His story Was afterwards verified by one
or twO here who were formerly from tina,
place, and who knew him and his father
| there.
Randall was arrested for at aling suit
of clothes and valise from hotel in
Green Ridge. He waived an examination
before Justice Clark. and was committed 10
the county Jail to await trial at the next
term OF the Criminal Court.
He behaved himself we'll, and this fore.
noon was let out in the hall way outside
Of the iron cage, in order to do some washing.
The outside door Was then locked. and
Sheriff Murray went to Law Office to
transact some business. This was about
lOo'clock.
After the Sheriff had transacted his bust.
ness he returned to the jail with bar O:
soap. When he arrived it was TO find
his prisoner gone, and a very sug-
geslive looking hole in the west
wall, underneath a window, showed how he
went. He had taken of the door of heat
ing stove, and with this pried out the brick,
which only consists Of three layers, and
made hole of sufficient size to admit of
the passage Of his body. Then, poking his
head out INTO sunshine and happiness, the
rest of his body followed, and he speedily
found himself doubled up INTO little hesp
in the yard-the hole being only ABOUT four
feet from the ground. He quickly found
his way out Of the Jail yard.
The prisoners say that just as the Sheriff
turned the corner of Third and Lamine they
could zee him from the window. Randall
had at this time gotten out two Layers of the
brick, when one remarked, 'here comes the
Sheriff." Randall hearing this, gave one
desperate kick at the remaining layer and
succeeded in bursting through.
When he made his exit he had no coat, |
and wore pair Of cheap brown overalls
md vest. and common cotton shirt. His
,air was cut as close az possible. He is
bout IL years Of age and very sharp and
Intelligent
Measures were Immediately taken for
lis recapture, and Sheriff Murray says he
: bound to have him. Up TO the hour of
'oing to press, however, nothing has been
cen or heard Of him.
The fact of the matter is, the Jail walls
N the Inside should be lined with boiler
ron. 1t is impossible TO keep prisoners
ocked up in the cells all the time. and a
ole through the walls can be made inside
4 ten minutes. Sheriff Murray has spent
considerable money out Of his own pocket
n recapturing and guarding prisoners, and
he county should protect him from this
Expense by promptly making the Jail secure.
Young Randall left home three months
go with $500. He got broke in Kansas
'ity, and tramped 10 Green Ridge. where
e committed the theft for which he was
rrested. |,
