that they should spend =, 900 i'm advertise

A BANK SUIT
Which is of More Than Ordinary
Interest.

The case of Mrs. IL 4. Ballard W. The
Pettis County Bank was heard before JUS
tice Weber Yesterday. In this case the
plaintiff testities that she had deposited
with the bank $50 on the lst day of June,
1880, and shortly after that time $40. That
at this time {. NJ. 4. CLANCY was acting as
cashier OF the bank. That afterwards she
drew out $50 by check. Mr.. CLANCY paid
her the interest up To July !. 1881, and
500 on the principal. He did not credit
the 500 on her book, he said it was not
necessary. CLANCY did not pay her 800
on the 18th day OF march. 1881. Id he had
made any such entry on the books
Of the bank it was false. She exhibited
her pass book in evidence, and in the hand
writing OF CLANCY. except a pencil men,
oranda, ami il showed no such payment to
her.
At this point Judge Shirk explained to
the court, that Tor the bank, he entered a
plea of payment, that he did so because on
the books OF the bank Mr.. CLANCY, as cash
Ter, had made an entry of cash payment
of 500 to Mrs Ballard on March l., 1881,
which balanced her account. That
the bank only desired to have it judicially
aScertained that this entry was true or
false Ii true. the hank owed Mrs. Ballard
nothing; If false, Mr.. Chaney had received
the benefit of that 500, and owed it to the
bank.
Mr.. Melvin testified for the plaintiff
that he could lind no check Tor the 800,
drawn ON the 18th day OF March, 1881.
The bank then called Mr.. T.. Nj. A. Clancy.
He acknowledged that the entry of 500
paid to Mrs. Ballard, March 18th, 81, was
in his hand write. He had No recollection
of paying il to her Ii must be mistake,
and that he paid it TO some one
else. Mr.. Chaney's attention was
called to the fact that the cash book and
Journal of that date showed no such pay
ment to any one else. He was then asked
to examine the books from that date on,
but failed to shew such payment to any
other deposition. Mr.. Clancy admitted
that he did not believe that he had paid
Mrs. Ballard the 500, as shown by his en-
try on the banks books. on the 18th dav Of
March, nor at any other time, and that ii,
in his account with the bank, he had been
credited with that 500, it was an error,
and he still owed it to the bank, or rather
had not accounted to the bank for it.
Thereupon, the case was submitted To
the court and verdict OF 800 and interest
was found for the plaintiff.

Train Robbers at Work in
Texas-They Fail to
Get the Swag.
A Lively Time Shooting at
Them.

Denton, Texas, June 5.-About o'clock
this morning four masked men, having OBJ
structed the track of the north bound Mis-.
souri, Pacific train about mile and a
half north of the depot in a cut surrounded
by dense thickets, attempted TO board the
mail car, installing il for the express car.
They were confronted by the guards and
attaches Of the mail service with drawn
pistols and leveled shotsuns and battle
Immediately opened. The first shot was
without effect, but the robbers turned
and ran over the embankment of the cut
pursued by the guards. One of the rob.
bers was seen to fall, spring to his feet
again and make to the brush again in the
darkness. The guards and train men re-
turned to the cars and the train was
backed down to Denton, where a posse of
officers and citizens Immediately started
in pursuit The train then proceeded to
st. Louis.
To-day the dead body of one of the rob-
bers was found few hundred yards from
the scene of the conflict with his head and
back riddled with buckshot. He was ident-
flied as A. p. Shelton, son of a respectable
johnson county farmer, living fifty miles
from Denton. He was about % years old,
and had been recently working OH farm
near Denton. This evening another men,
Der of the gang surrendered to the police
and is now in jail. He is James Carter,
son of farmer near Denton. He says the
robbery was planned by the two robbers
who are at large.
They are strangers who came TO that
section recently, and Carter refuses to d.
vulge their names. He says the four of
them assembled at Denton about twenty
minutes before the arrival of the train and
determined to rob it. Carter had Just been
released from the Huntsville peni,entiary
where he served two years for theft. The
They had piled up logs and other OBJ
structions across the track few yards in
advance of where they signalled the train
So that if it did not stop it would have
been wrecked. The posse is still in pur-
suit of the two robbers at large and are
confident of capturing them.
LATER.
A special to the BAzoO states that the
attack had been anticipated some time,
through the efforts of Detective Furlong OF
Sedalia, and he was thoroughly prepared
to greet the robbers. He had as assistants
w. III. Bonnell and three others.
When the attack was made Mr.. Fur
long locked up the passengers. Bonnell was
lying on the platform of the smoking car.
He fired on the robber afterward found
dead, as the rascal attempted to climb on
the platform. The arrest referred to was
made by Mr.. Furlong. This indefatigable
officer has been in Texas over three
months, most of the time hunting the lead
ers in this robbery.

Saws.

Guys.
We Germans are i'm general not in
clined To believe at once i'm great an
nouncements and puffs we are rather
suspicious, and often with perfect right,
of exaggeratiOns and humbugs. Our
motto is, "What the eve sees the heart
believes" and we therefore desire to see
and examine ourselves before we speak
about things and praise them. This
was our idea when we heard and read
so much about DIR. s. a. RichmOnd's
Justly celebrated Worlds Epileptic In
stitute, and We therefore sent q reporter
to the building. We are now able to
give the best information on the sub
ject, based on q personal review and
examination of the premises.
Our reporter found Mr.. Richmond in
his office. The doctor kindly received
him, and not only answered all his
questions, but showed and explained
everything about the place to him.
His office is OH the first floor of the
building, and its walls are covered
with thousands of photographs of gen
tlemen and ladies restored to health by
the use of Samaritan Nervine, among
whom our reporter recognized many of
his own cOuntrymen, and its glass
cases contain innumerable certificate Of
cures and letters i'm praise of this world.
famous remedy.
About ten years ago DR.. Richmond
came to st. Joseph. He was then a
poor young man, with but little money,
and no friends to assist him. Herented
a small office on Francis street. and
commenced the struggle for success
single-handed and alone. He achieved
a grand triu nph, i'm the face of stub
born opposition on every hand, and is
to-day one of the wealthiest men i'm our
midst. This fact alone is amply suffi
cient to show the merits Of his invalua-
BILE preparation, even though there were
no other sources from which to procure
valid and reliable testimony.
But besides the money which this
great medicine has been the means of
bringing to the inventor, the doctor re-
ceives daily the blessings Of thousands
Of patients restored to health and hap
piness through his instrumentality.
These letters are open for inspection at
his office, and it requires two clerks to
attend to this branch Of the business.
DR.. Richmond is living example to
be initiated by all young men who have
disposition to reach eminence in the
world by diligence in the use of their
own exertiOns, and besides the enjoy.
ment of the prosperity which surrounds
him. he has the satisfaction to be re.
garded q human benefactOr.
