A PLEASANT and enjoyable hop came
off Monday evening at Library Hall,
being, like many of the pleasantest af-
fairs of this kind, gotten up on the spur
OF the moment. Joe Comply is sup
posed to be the responsible party and
the one who should receive the majority
of the boqucts. The remarkably fine
music furnished was a special feature
of the occasion and added much to the
pleasure of the onlookers as well as to
the comfort of the dancers. About
twelve o'clock tired nature claimed her
own and with few regrets that so de-
lightful an evening should so soon have
reached its limit, the company left the
old hall to its solitude. Reunions of
this nature cannot come too often A
few hours innocent recreation serves to
brush away the mental cobwebs of a
weeks struggles and are always much
to be commended.

minutes after the report of the revolver.
The two men had some hot words over

although nothing was said or done by
Kelley to justify the shooting Potts is
from st. Louis and has been buying
mules in Jackson county. Potts was at
once arrested and placed in close con-
finementn There are but few people in
this section who will not remember KEEL
ly Davis. His footracing proclivities
made him prominent figure here some
wears ago. Those races on the fair
ground in which he was one of the prin-
cipals and where thousands of dollars
changed hands and bad blood was
brewed in enormous quantities, have
passed down among the legends of the
lively tims3 of old. From the tone of
the dispatch it would seem that Davis
sporting habits remained with him to

his death
