II. Claude Etienne Mimic, the en-
ventor of the carbine known by that
name. who died few days ago, was
born in Paris in 1904. He entered the
army as private, but rose to the
captaincy of a company of chasseurs.
It was then that he conceived the idea
of improving the weapon used by this
corps. He refused to make money
out of his inventions by patenting
them, or to quit France for superior
service in Russia. He was, in 1S49,
appointed Instructor in Firing at the
Ecole Normal. at Vincennes, and
retired from active life in 1858 but
he had all along been occupying him
self with the improvement of firearms,
and his last achievement, rifle light.

A Darkey Brought to This
City Charged With Being
the California Rapist.
He Proves to the Satisfaction of
the O@cerA That he Had no
Connection With the Hor-
rible Crime.

A darkey who gave his name as Ander-
son Bell, was turned over To- Sheriff John
Shaw, Of Johnson county, last night, by
Conductor Charles Galligcr, who mistook
him to lie the California rapist. The
negro took the train at Kansas City and
had ticket for this place, where he was
coming to lead To the hymenial altar one
Of Sedalia's gushing and blushing dusky
damsels. After Handwriting the prisoner
Sheriff Shaw brought him to this city and
lodged him in Jail. He then telegraphed
Marshal John Tillery, Of California, Of his
find, and requested that gentleman
to come to this city and take look at the
prisoner.
Marshal Tillery arrived this morning and
soon after visited the Jail for the purpose
Of identifying the coon. On taking a
look at the prisoner the marshal told Mr..
Shaw that he had the wrong man and he
was discharged.
The prisoner has been working At the
City hotel at Lexington for the past three
years, and bears a good reputation. He re-
sembles the fiend wanted, with the excep-
ton that he is not deaf and weighs about
thirty pounds less.
He was the happiest negro ever in Soda
liza when liberated. He will be married
this evening.

when it broke, and he fell. As he was fall

caboose, but missed it, and fell down an
embankment. The falling part he did not
object to, but the stopping so suddenly
was what he didn't like. His right si.oul-

HE TAPPED THE TILL,
And the Police Coming Along He
was Laid Away to Cool.

Henry Davis is a darley. He is also
one Of these "yaller niggahs" who have
more deviltry in their composition than the
entire white and colored races together
Henry was broke. Whether this is Il
new experience i'm his life or is chronic
failing, deponent sayeth not. He had
been an employee at Bonner's restaurant
and was paid oil last night. This MORN
ing, when there was no one in the front
part Of the building, he went in and
walked behind the counter He first
went through the till and managed to get
all Of twenty cents. He thought he wonld
enjoy smoke or two and accordingly
helped himself to hali-a-dozen choice Gle
CARS. At this stage Of the performance
Mrs. Bonner, who was in the kitchen,
caught glimpse Of him. She came out
and the fellow hid under the counter. She
remarked, THAT will do" and stepped to
the door and called police" a, THIS the
the till-tapper sprang up and darte,l for
the back door. Mrs. Bonner's sister, Ma
mic, locked the back door and put the key
in her pocket This made him slightly
warm and he lightly tossed heavy
glass dish at Miss Mamie's head,
but she is a pretty good dodger, and the
Missile flew wide Of its mark. Then he
turned toward the front door, and Mrs.
Bonner told him he couldn't get out there.
He then became, very much excited-in
fact "hot," he seized a convenient
wine bottle with the laudable intention Of
knocking Mrs. b. down. Like her sister,
she is an adept in the art OF lodging, and
again he was frustrated. He ran through
Glass saloon and across the railroad track
toward the Catholic church, followed by
= man named Mckinley and Mr.. Bonner.
BY this time officer Mentally came along
and seeing that the young man was in a
rather heated coalition, and fearing he
might no, keep, he took him to the re-
frigerator where he was laid on ice very
carefully
1t has tran>pired. however, tina. the
uame he gave the police was an assumed
one and that his name is not Henry Davis
but Lem, sometimes known as Ed. Lemis.
Davis or Lemis, he will not indulge in
the luxury Of ice cream for awhile, at
least.
He was taken before Squire Clark this
afternoon for trial. He pleaded guilty
and was given sixty days and fined thirty
dollars and costs.

Flask and Gets Badly

the ten-year-old son Of Lewis Names, was
playing with powder horn, he set fire to
it in some manner, when it exploded, burn
ing his hand and side in q frightful man
ner. The report made noise like the
firing Of cannon, which. with the frantic
cries Of the boy soon attracted large
crowd at the residence, which is on West

moments later, the little fellow was in ter

War in the Suburbs.

There is family living in Campbell's
addition who, among other things, own an
old speckled rooster. This rooster has
on several occasions been the cause Of q
war Of words and law suit or two, be-
cause Of its perambulating disposition.
In fact, the rooster does not like to stay at
home at all, and most any time in the day
can be found in the truck patch Of its own
er's neighbOrs, who, on divers occasions
told the proprietor Of the chicken that il
he did not keep it penned up, he would
find it taking a good long snooze some
fine day. Yesterday the owner Of the bird
happened to be absent from home, and
while away, the rooster invaded the gar
den Of one Of the neighbors. While there,
it run against a knife-blade in the hand
of the owner Of the garden, after which it
laid down for the oft-promised "long
snooze," in its masters yard. When the
owner came home and found his rooster
snOOsing, and its head nearly severed from
its body, he became exceedingly wrothy.
He tackled one Of his neighbOrs, whom he
suspected Of holding the knife-blade in
such q manner as to let the rooster run
up against il, but the neighbor denied be-
ing guilty Of such charge. A few blows
followed, and one Of the participants got
his O6-optic pepper closed; but the end is
not vet.

Turns out to be Q Grand Success
This Morning.

The reserved seats back Of the railing
in the recorders court were all filled this
morning. Promptly at 9 o'clock the re-
corder and his big book waltzed into the
room, and in few seconds the marshal
and the slate followed suit, while Kelley
and the balance Of the gang brought up
the rear.
The first case was that Of the city
". Hon. William Craig, =. ID. lie
pleaded not guilty 10 disturbing the peace
Of his landlady, but after the recorder
heard the evidence, he informed William
that he had not kept strictly the laws OF
the city, consequently he would have to
fine him $500. Paid.
John Moss was not there when his name
was called, but the marshal ordered plea
Of guilty to plain, unvarnished drunk,
and it 50 done. Paid.
Jack Jones, for keeping late hours under
suspicious circumstances, was fined 500.
Paid.
Michael Mason vas discharged, as he
proved that it was not whisky that made
him act SO strangely last night. 1t was a
lump Of wadding in the upper story Of
his Uranium.
The last, but by no means least, case
was that Of the city vs.. Robt. Woodbridge,
the seventh son Of the seventh daughter,
who claims to have heart in one hand
and a sugar loaf in the other. He also
claims to speak seven different languages,
all OF which he says was bestowed upon
him as gift BY the Creator.
"Mr. Woodbridge, You are charged
in court with maliciously destroying
private property. Do you plead guilty or
not guilty ~ said his honor, on taking up
his case.
On hearing the above conundrum shot
at him, Robert assumed perpendicular
shape. and, with the air of French count,
responded
mo, guilty, yer honor, sab" He then
took his seat.
"Are you ready for trial, Mr.. Wool
dridge?" asked his honor.

feel like looking after my own case"
"How long will it take you to get law
YER" asked the recorder.
Sir Robert looked around over the room
and spying one OF Sedalia's most talented
legal gentlemen, he called out:
''Come over heah, Mr.. Lawyer, and help
me out Of this scrape."
The lawyer and his client then adj
journed to an adjoining room to commune
with each other rs to the best way to pro-
coed with the case.
In about three minutes Robert put in an
appearance and told the recorder. that he
wonld withdraw his plea and enter one Of
guilty.
81 want you to go light, boss" said Rob
ert. "as you soaked it to me pretty heavy
ON the bell ringing question"
The marshal then told how Robert,
while locked mp, had DESTROYED all the
water pipes in the cell and broke two OF
three locks on the cell door.
The recorder then fined Mr.. Woodbridge
