Three Desperadoes Dosed in Mobsrly

Monday last Moberly had a general
sensation. Word had been received by
the authorities to be on the look out for
three desperate characters known as the
Cook Brothers. They belonged to a
notorious band of horse thieves anu
desperadoes and are wanted in Kansas,
iowa and Illinois. Their latest achiey-
ment was at Topeka, Kansas, where
they resisted arrest, wounded
one or two Of the posse and es, aped.
The Sheriff OF st. Charles county who
was in Moberly furnishes the RepubH.
can with he following version of the
Moberly affair.
About noon three men came riding
into town and mtched their horses in
the rear OF the Exchange bank. They
were tall, stalwart looking fellows and
mad the appearance of cowboys Their
arrival in the city was noted and the
marshal kept his eye on the trio for
some time. A short time after riding
in one of the gang went into the Ex-
change bank and had some money
changed. and it was noticed that he
took very searching view OF the in
terror. This put the bank officers on
their guard and they informed the city
marshal that they believed raid on
the bank was contemplated. This sns.
picion was also strengthened by the
proximity OF the mems horses. A few
minutes afterwards the marshal receiv-
ed telegram to ltok out for three
men mounted on good horses, who were
wanted for horse stealing. After read
ing the dispatch the marshal came to
conclusion that the men in town were
The ones wanted, and in company with
an assistant he started to arrest them
When they discovered the approach of
the marshal the trio separated. The
officer called upon them to halt, but the |
only reply from them was drawn pis-
tol and threat to blow his heard off

shall started for the first man that had
drawn his pistol and ordered him to
throw up his hauds. The fellow re-
piled with a bullet, and the officer
promptly returner the fire. From the
the first shot was fired the
gang began retreating towards their
horses. In the runing fight that &C.
Cured the marshal succeed in killing
his man, but not until he had received
several wounds himself The other
two were pursued by citizens and one
killed and the other dangerously
and captured.

We regret exceedingly to record the
death of one of our most active and
and prominent citizens. The remains
of Mr.. Ira Elliot, were brought here
from Kansas, on Monday, for inter-
ment near his home in Saltrlver town
ship He had been a sufferer from heart
diseases for a number of years and had
visited Kansas thinking that the eli
mate there seemed to agree with him
better than here. We have not at this
writing learned any of tie particulars
of his death further than that it was
from some acute disease and not from
the former allment. Mr.. Elliott, was
an active, energetic and public spirited
citizen, man respected by all who
knew him and blessed, notwithstand-
ing the state of his health with cheer
full, sunny, and pleasant disposition.
We presume full particulars of his
death will be furnished US by his fami.
ly for publication.
We wish Kirksville had properly
arranged, finished and furnished hall or
opera house which would give comfort.
able seating to at least one thousand
people. Every year the ability and dis
sire of our people to patronize any
really meritorious lecture, exhibition or
performance, is increasing, but the ac'
commodations are really inadequate.
The present Hall might be greatly i'm
proved in this respect, but it would re-
quire quite an outlay OF money. A
while back there was some talk among
the Liberals, and more recently some
few OF our business men have been dis
cussing the matter, but We fear we
shall have to wait, several seasons yet.

Chapel is about the only room large

makes it unavailable.
