GRAY
I'm Jail for Writing too Much.

AS our readers will remember, we
stated a couple of weeks ago that we
hoped shortly to chronicle the cap
ture o Gray, the forger. Gray was
arrested last Thursday at Blooming
ton, ILL.,, when inquiring for his mail
by Detective Slater. Sheriff Glascock
left for Bloomington at once for the
fugitive, who is now in Jail. We had
a little chat with Gray last Saturday
and find him a very intelligent young
man, aged "a years. He claims that
he can prove al alibi. The parties
victimized all say that they can swear
Gray is the man who presented the
notes. Ricketts, & Emmons bought
a S175 note, j. NJ. Marmaduke and
S. NJ. Locke bought a $3.50 note and
P. E. Locke one for SIS. When
Gray was captured he had only SOS
on his person. Gray had been living
in this county for 2 or 8 years and
working for D. Niece. He was form
erly from Jefferson City where his
mother and brother John live. We
fear he will have q hard time to prove
an alibi. A letter which has found
its way into the hands of the proper
authorities, win go very much against
the young man and tends to show
that his brother also is crsJzed, at
least in his way of writirAge stters.
Gray was very much liked by those
who knew him and until he got in
this scrape was considered an up
right, industrious young man. The
grand jury found a true bill against
him yesterday. The judge fixed his
bail at $3.50.

Infanticide.

Last Friday a girl named Miss
Turner, who has been in Mexico
working fol- Mr.. James Galloway for
about six months, was noticed to act
in rather a strange manner. Her
actions were watched by members of
the household. She vas noticed to
leave the house with q bucket in her
hand, fer what reason no one could
tell but when followed it was found
she had q dead infant in her posses
sion. She claimed that the child was
"still- born" but when examined by
the doctors it was found that the
child had been choked to death, that
it had evidently lived and breathed
after being born. The girl is now
confined to her bed and not in a con
dition to be put in Jail. The grand
jury have found a true bill against her.
The girl has q very fair face, and
does not look like a wicked woman.

This ,s the age of wonders-wonders in

man who causes two blades of grass to grow
where only one grew before is q public

the man who causes a full and Injurious
crop of hair to grow upon the barren and
shining pates of the large army Of bald
heads who nave well nigh despaired of ever
having a natural covering for their heads
again? What place, in a word, shall be
assigned to the d~iscoverer of Carboline2
Shall he not lave a conspicuous niche in
the Temple of Fame, and stand FIRST
among the be~nefactors of his race? To
impart new life and vigor to the dormant
energies of a diseased scalp; to give
strength and fullness to a weak and stray
Cling growth of hair; to bring back the
natural color and gloss to bleached and
faded locks, are no ordinary achievements,

sought in vain to accomplish them for
centuries. All honor, then, to the discov-

1nteliigencer Caught Mapping.
A Neat Little Job.

News being rather scarce last week,
and'fearing the Inteliigencer would
not appear with its usual lot of local
matter stolen and re-hashed from the
LEDGER, and in this way disappoint
its few readers besides feeling in a
very enterprising humor, as usual,
we concluded to fix mp a little news
on our own account, writing up a
''local'' on a man named Farewell"
supposed to live in Sailing township,
but, in fact, a myth. We inserted it
in our paper, and after working off a
few copies, thought it too bad to treat
u readers to such a big lie, and Or
dered our foreman to take out the
local, and put in its place more sub
stantial, if not more readable, mat
ter. Now, in the course of human.
events-how, we will never be able
to tell-these few copies found their
way to the Intelligencer office. Be-
ing of q very humane disposition, we
should certainly have sent word to
the Colonel to take what news he
pleased, but to leave this particular
local alone if he did not want to get
his foot (which is a beauty in it;
but as the Colonel will not ''conde-
scend to read the LEDGER" we
thought, of course, there would be no
need to mention the subject to him q.

you did not give the Mexico Intelli-
