A Broken Leg.

A man named Young, living about a
mile from Cole Camp, mounted his horse
Saturday night and started for the resi-
dence of DIR. Allen, in Cole Camp, which was
on FIRE. While en- route there the animal
threw him, and one of his legs was broken,
so that the bones protruded through the
flesh. In this condition he was compelled
to remain in the road all night, his calls
for aid not being heard.
Yesterday morning he was found and
conveyed TO his home, and DIR. Campbell,
of Warsaw, was summoned. An engine
was placed at the medical gentleman's dis
posal, and before noon he arrived at Cole
Camp and set the broken limb. The
BAzOo's informant SAYS Mr.. Young was
getting along nicely last evening.

Who Played the Part of a De-
tective Successfully at
Pilot Grove.
He Married a Cooper County Girl,
and then Shamefully De-
serted Her.

About three months ago there arrived ut
Pilot Grove, Cooper county, 4 mysterious
individual who gave his name rs Thomas
Markham, from Oregon. He had no
friends there and his object ia stopping
was, as he said, to rest before proceeding
further on his Journey. He soon began To
play the iavorite role OF modern dead beats
that OF detective. 1t was reported that
HE WAS A DETECTIVE,
and had followed criminal from the COL
den shores of the Pacific and was there
working up the case. He also noised it
around that he Was well heeled being the
owner of 10000 farm in Oregon, which,
with other property, brought him an an
nual income that enabled him To- live a
life oil ease. Ii was further stated that he
was a widower, having had the misfortune
tn lose his wife and children. Ii was fur
thermore asserted that he was a candidate
for matrimony. and how successful he was
i'm this, the sequel will show. He became
acquainted with
Miss LIZZIE BURGER,
of Pleasant Green. very respectable Young
lady. whose family is regarded u one OF the
best i'm the county At their second meet
ing they were married. For short while
the couple boarded at Pilot Grove, bat
soon went to Pleasant Green and took up
their abode with the Young lady'S parents.
Things went on we'll ior Il while, during
which time Markham Joined the church st
Pleasant Green, and, so far IL the outside
world could see, seemed to be devoted
husband.
But it is the same old story. Friday he
gathered his srip-sack,
TOOK THE TIE RoUTE
and left Tor parts unknown but a gentle
man who arrived al Pilot Grove from Ne
vada, Saturday, saws he saw him between
Sedalia and Green Ridge is the train came
i'm from the south.
He left, besides his wife. several little
debts. which he failed 10 liquidate. He il

old, and is i'm every regard tirst-class

some new field of operation, where he can
impose upon some other woman. His
wife is lett lin her solitude" To grieve over

separated from his wife, he came to Soda
liza and Messrs. Sangree Il Lamm procured
for him divorce. The woman, who had
been crooked prior to marrying Crews,
then opened a house OF prostitution at
Short Creek, Kas., where she remained for
time, going from there to Kansas City,
where she is now an inmate OF a, bagnio.
The BAzOO man has heard OF two more
OF Crews escapades, but does not care to
publish them to the world until all the
facts can be substantiated. He is n. 9. by
a good old democratic majority, anu his

billed To deliver two lectures i'm this city
last week, passed through this morning, en-
route from Clinton, where he lectured last
night, to Hannibal, where he will undoubt-
edly entertain large audience tonight.
Mr.. Vending is one OF the most gifted
orators of the day, and in conversation
with a BAzoo reporter said he regretted il
exceedingly that he was unable To fill his
engagement in this city. His dates are all
filled until the first of May. during which
time he will visit Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio

Recovered His Horse.

Dick Gentry isn't as troubled to-day as
he was the first of the week. Then he
thought that his saddle horse. worth about
$500, had been stolen from his fathers pas
ture, and he offered a reward of $50 for the
animals recovery. Yesterday. however,
Geo Romans found the horSe quietly
grazing in the pasture on the Woodbridge
farm, so he placed bride on him and
brought him to town, and then proceeded
to notify Mr. Gentry. Of course he was
delighted tn find the animal had not been
stolen, and if Holman appears with new
spring suit, his friends will know how to
account for If

Later.

Considerable space was devoted in yes
terday's BAzoo to- ventilating a portion OF
the career of Charles Crews, blacksmith
formerly employed in the n. 4 I. shops
here, but it seems that not One-half OF his
meanness was given the public.
Ii will be remembered that he married
Sarah Jewell ut the East Sedalia Baptist
church, three years ago. At the time he
was paving IA addresses to Sarah, he was
also working on the affections OF her
Younger sister, Martha, aged only eleven
wears. and when she had not vet attained
her twelfth year he accomplished her ruin,
and was the cause of her becoming an in
mate of MOllie Blues bagnio. This the
child prostitute told her mother while she
was behind the bars at the calaboose, and
also in the presence of an officer.
While living with his first wife, at Jop-
lin. Mo-, Crews attempted to blackmail a
well-known minister, but was frustrated IN
his purpose. He invited the divine to his
home. and it was his inteution to drop in
while the reverend gentleman and his
wife were engaged in conversation, ac-
cuse them of improper conduct,
and demand certain sum of
money or exposure would result. The
scheme did not work, however, as the
minister dropped ON the little game and
refused to be taken in.
Crews told of this attempt at blackmail
to former room mate in this city, and
seemed to think it good joke. After he

for an increase on the various routes, from Dorsey
and others were put in evidence, counsel for the
defense objecting to them, but the petitions were
admitted by the court. Another letter from Dorsey

would show that Dorsey knew that the petitions
were being prepared in advance of their recep-

In answer to Mr. Ingersoll Mr.. Woodward said
there were many petitions and papers Of similar

said that, to he consistent, they should all be in

Mr.. Merrick replied that he could not himself
but would have witnesses here next Tuesday or
Wednesday who would prove that these names
were fictitious or forgeries.
